Character Information
Summary
A happy and cheerful woman, despite everything. Pure and wholesome. Headpats required. She's never seen without her hoodie or her backpack - the way she carries around her favorite plushie.
Goals
Help her mother by funding a permanent and sustainable fix.
Leave the shadows.
Background
Fujimoto Midori was born at a fortunate time. Her conception was a direct result of the Emperor rescinding the Yomi Island Decree, allowing Oni to legally live within the rest of the country. Her parents jumped at such an opportunity, hoping to set her up for a better future by fleeing to Seattle. A few years later, she was born. After a relatively early awakening, her parents were thrilled. Using second-hand textbooks and online schooling, they tried to teach her magical knowledge to ensure a successful career.
Though it was hard, Sprout and her family managed to make things work, though the money that would have gone towards putting her in college was spent keeping the heat on and food on the table. Desperately needing to supplement their income, she turned to working odd jobs, wielding her magic however she could. Eventually, after the incident that killed her father and crippled her mother, she wound up working for a 'family friend' in the Yakuza and fell further into the shadows. At last, however, she has made it to the big leagues.
Still, though, not everything is peachy. Her main source of income and 'family friend' - a man who is manipulating her and using her as a cheap mage to save on recruitment money or responsibility if 'the trog fails to live up to expectations' - is barely enough to keep scraping by. Furthermore, she's got a myriad of problems herself. Trauma from the job, shame at failing to make the Shinto tradition work for her, and the other ingrained prejudices of fairly conservative Japanese parents make life harder than it has to be. But she knows that there are problems, and she's doing her best to solve them. And to take every day as it comes.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
- Bilingual: English and Japanese, with all the accompanied stuff a Japanese upbringing entails.
- Too Pretty To Hit: Come on, really? You'd hurt that face?
- Mentor Spirit (Dragonslayer): She's always trying to do her best, and make everything better.
Negative
- Dependent (Demanding): Her mother is crippled and needs extensive medical care.
- One Born Every Minute: You'd lie to her? Really?
- Social Stress (Crowds): People, despite being really cool and interesting, are scary. One at a time, please.
- Phobia (Dogs): A dog bit her as a kid, and she tries (poorly) to cover up the scars. Ever since, she's never really been comfortable with them.
