Sumika Hashigaki
Age: 10 years old
Eye colour: Amber
Hair colour: White (Previously black)
Height: 4'10
Weight: 57 lbs
Birthdate: 05/25
Appearance: Soft skin, Tall, Delicate
Sumika had always been taller than most the other kids in the orphanage, her skin soft as silk, which made her comforting hold all the more gentle. Whilst being born blind her eyes had been the most shiny colour of amber which are able to be spotted in the dark. Her eyes however mainly remain gently shut, with Sumika only opening them when she feels vulnerable, with small yet prominent eyelashes. Her like her skin is also silky soft, its black colour looks as if staring in to an adept void, it was strangely calming for the other kids to look at. Yet her luscious straight locks would be soon to desaturate in to a much more devoid colour.
Personality: Calm, Concentrated, Kind, Shy
Sumika has never been the most confident the other kids in the orphanage would usually come to her whenever one of the caretakers weren't around because of her tall size. However whilst her size helped her to console other children's worries, she wasn't good at talking to others. She was shy and would usually awkwardly hug the other children if they came running to her in need for help. Her Biwa had been her life as it was the only thing which she had from her biological parents. She knew absolutely nothing of them aside from the fact she arrived at the Orphanage alongside her Biwa, according to the workers there that is. She loved her Biwa and usually would play it to help calm herself others. Her shyness and awkwardness would begin to leak away whenever she would play her Biwa in immense concentration. She is calm in most situations giving a soft smile when she's happy and a longing look in times of sadness. She enjoys her own company yet whilst introverted she's more than happy to play for the ones around her, helping the only way she knows how.
History: A Quiet Note
Sumika had been born to a rich family which needed an heir to their heritage, their families only child had been Sumika's mother, Tokko. who had no interest in becoming an heir alongside her family not wishing for a female to take leadership. Tokko and the rest of Sumika's families were not Hashigaki unlike her, therefore they were not born blind or anything of the like. Tokko had fallen in love with a travelling musician named Makazashi, his eyes were as amber as honey dew yet he was not robbed of his vision either. His mother was a Hashigaki who's heavenly singing voice had inspired him to pick up the flute and spread his music around Kumohagakure. He would often visit Tokko's families complex and play his flute for Tokko to listen to in awe, in this time they both would often stare longingly at each other wishing to be closer to each other. Yet Tokko's family wished to find her a suitable heir due to her beauty, though it was not the life she wanted. Makazashi and Tokko could not hide their love any longer and quickly Tokko became pregnant with Sumika.
In this time Tokko would not eat anymore than she would need to in an attempt to hide the baby for as long as she possibly could, almost starving herself becoming much more brittle and her face beginning to thin, her skin turning a ghastly pale and her radiance slowly beginning to fade, Makazashi could no longer ideally sit back and watch the love of his life go through such pain and suffering. He barged in to the their families complex and announced to Tokko's father that he was in love with her and that they were soon to have a baby, he would offer Tokko's father a Biwa as a present for Sumika to use when she grew older. Instantly in a flash Makazashi was cut down in front of Tokko's eyes by her father and several other clan members being stabbed profusely by all of them. Her screams were not enough to save him and all she could do was witness the murder of her beloved.
She was shunned by the entire of her family until the birth of her child, it was the only reason why any hope was held on to see a rightful heir to the family. Unfortunately for Tokko Sumika was born,
a female at birth, the entire family reeled in disgust and Tokko was forced to abandon Sumika, she loved her as soon as she met her yet she was unable to keep her without the loss of her own life.
On the outskirts of Kumohagakure lay a small adoption center which housed several different children who were abandoned by their parents or ended up their in some other way. Tokko had travelled their to deliver Sumika, she carried both Sumika and her Biwa which Makazashi had gifted her. She was purely in wraps of black as she mourned the death of her lover, who had left her too soon. As she reached the orphanage in the dead of night she left Sumika in a small basket alongside her Biwa next to her. She would begin to cry as she heard her infant's screams and wails yet she pushed on and swiftly made her exit being consumed by the void of darkness which surrounded the orphanage.
Sumika had lived in the orphanage for her whole life, never being given a family to live with, many other children around her were adopted, yet perhaps it was because of her abnormal stature that she was neglected by the adults who would choose their potential child. Whilst Sumika's appearance remained beautiful and shimmering her height made her stand out compared to all the other kids. Alongside this was her lack of vision, Sumika was born completely blind yet her hearing had always been very keen able to learn other's voices and various noises soon after hearing them. She could walk around the Orphanage without any need for help at all yet it was still a detriment to her, sometimes it felt lonely when things were quiet. Which would be the times where she would play her Biwa, she had always been adept at playing it, very quickly mastering it at such a young age. Often playing it for the ones around her.
Sumika Hashigaki had little close friends or strong bonds, all she could hope for was a family to love her like she loved her Biwa.
Bloodline: Hashigaki
Sumika had derived the Hashigaki bloodline from her grandmother on her father's side. The Hashigaki's love for music ran deep in Sumika's heart as she would often play her Biwa in times of happiness, sorrow, and anger. It was the object that gave her peace and tranquility which helped her to remain always content, many of the caretakers and children who describe the melodies which Sumika would play as heavenly and majestic. Yet Sumika would always shyly blush upon any compliments towards her music. Yet at times she wished she could see the faces of those who watched, she was curious to see their expressions and the like. Her hearing was strong most likely the strongest in the entire orphanage yet nothing which she could do would help her be able to see. Sumika that night would stare in to the mirror in the bathroom with her eyes open, she certainly couldn't see anything yet she wanted to believe that she could.
As she opened the door to leave however everything had changed, she could see the outlines of everyone's bodies with soft yellow lines being the ones to set objects apart. She couldn't make out colours yet everyone's facial structures were there, here eyes were still closed in this moment yet tears began to stream down her face as she began to ball. Other kids came to her aid and hugged and consoled her not completely understanding what was going on. However Sumika whilst crying her eyes out could not have been more happy in this moment, whilst it was only vague outlines it was still an image, and hopefully as she grew her hearing would be able to master this form of vision. So that she could view the world, in its true form.
