 |  Subject: Nanami, Sumiko  Fri Aug 06, 2010 4:01 am | |
|   Application of Nanami, Sumiko*Identity.Name: Sumiko Nanami Gender: Female Day of Birth: December 31st Age: 17 Height: 5'4" Weight: 95 lbs. Class: 1A Persona.Casual Appearance: Sumiko gives of a certain vibe that just makes people want to go out of their way to not cross her path. It may be because of her medieval, assassin-like clothes or the slightly irritant, dull expression on her face almost 24/7. She's very small and petite, and is about as strong as she looks(as in punching someone would probably hurt her fist more than the person), but despite her weak build, she gives off a threatening aura that makes people think twice about what they say and do to her. Whatever disadvantages she has with her weakness is also more than made up for with speed and skill. She has short, layered gray hair that she doesn't spend much time with, but manages to make look perfect cooped with her dark, sea foam blue eyes, which always seem to be empty..void of emotion. She has a very..different style than others, but one that fits her personality better than anyone else. Looking a bit out-of-the-times, she prefers wearing a long, white, hooded coat, in slits at the bottom for easy maneuvering and space. A dark brown T-shirt, coupled with matching shorts, is under the robe-like coat, a red sash tied around it all for added color and flare, as well as blue silk side purse attached to her hip. Pocketed leather straps and belts are here and there for holding small items that she carries around with her. Brown leather boots and gloves(one black glove, one brown) finish off her look, along with thin black socks under the boots that reach to her mid thigh. Personality: Sumiko is very eccentric, but she keeps many of her oddities to herself. Despite her hard exterior, she is actually very sensitive, and because of that will lash out or be cold towards someone if they push her out of her comfort zone. She is extremely guarded however, and will let few see what she is actually feeling, putting on a mask of fake emotions in all other situations. All due to her issues with trust. Though the lessons learned in her childhood, she fears putting her trust in others and is extremely independent. She will say or do almost anything to get you to back off if she feels someone is getting too close to her, seeing as how she's never had a real friend in her life.. However, behind the concrete wall she's built around herself, Sumiko is actually very playful and a child at heart, being that she's never had a chance to be a regular, carefree kid, and loves to smile. The truth of the matter is..she didn't build a wall to block people out, but to see who loves her enough to climb over it. Likes: Art, magic, lemons(or any kind of citrus), meditating, wind, classical/immediate music Dislikes: Disrespect, sexism, sweets, interruptions, animals, dark water Fears: Trusting, Cats, The Unknown Background.Family: Father; Yamato Nanami Hometown: Italy Past:- Spoiler:
Sumiko has had, to say the very least, a difficult childhood. She's an orphan. Living on the streets homeless as just a small girl, alone, cold, scared, hungry.. She didn't even know her own name or her birthday, only that she was on the streets and on her own, how she even got there unknown to her. She'd hoped her parents were dead, that they didn't abandon her or hate her, but she knew somewhere in the back of the mind it was probably untrue.
For years she survived on the ruthless streets, learning the ways of fighting and theivery, even manipulation and persuasion to get what she needed. She took her being a small girl in distress to advantage, using guilt and pity when she could, but she was always a little monster on the inside, turned cold and relentless from the life she's forced to live. She has many scars to give proof of how she lived, mostly on her arms and torso, from when she's been in fights and beaten for begging or caught stealing. But, her worst scar is the one she doesn't know how she got. A long, ragged gash going diagonally across her back and curving over her right shoulder, she'd had the scar for as long as she can remember, but has no idea how it got there.
When she turned 11, her life was overwhelmingly changed. While sitting in the shadows scouting for her next pickpocket, she hit the jackpot. A very wealthy foreign man was coming in her general direction, around his late 30's or early 40's. She had become extremely skilled in guile and stealth in her decade or so of petty crime. Despite this, right as she was going to make a run for it with the man's wallet, her wrist was caught. Her eyes filled with slight fear as she flinched, waiting for the beating that she knew would come. But, it never did. Instead she was met with kind words and gentle eyes, it confused and scared her, thinking he was trying to trick her, but she couldn't help but give in to his kindness. The man asked her what her name was, but she could not answer, for she did not have one. He was touched by her story of how she's been living and decided to take her in as his own child and adopt her. He named her and even gave her a birthday, then took her back to Japan with him where she'd start a whole new life.
Sumiko adapted slowly to her life in Japan, having to become a high class citizen and the daughter of a very successful stock broker. But, eventually she blended in with the rest of the important people, learning to become gentle with her actions through the art of ballroom dancing and ballet. She was also introduced to music, and how to play harp and cello, it was virtually the only thing that could calm her when she got felt too strongly about something when her father wasn't there to comfort her. She often didn't speak much around strangers, and simply observed when her father had guests over or took her to work. The only time she would talk much was when she was alone with her father, who is her best friend. But, she didn't see him often since he was always busy with work and stressed about what to do about Sumiko going to school. Eventually, he decided to hire tutors for her instead of sending her to a school, knowing what the consequences would be if something went wrong and also not wanting the other ppeople to judge Sumiko. A few years later he enrolled her in Ouran, though Sumiko wasn't the smartest person ever, she was competent enough for the work at the private school. Sumiko wasn't happy about the decision, wanting to stay with him, but he knew Ouran was the best for her. So he sent Sumiko off, promising he'd send lots of letters and call her often, giving Sumiko her first cell phone that was only for them to keep in contact. And she went to start another life with new experiences, having no idea what lied in front of her at Ouran High School.
Additional Notes: She has an appreciation of art, whether it be dance, drawing, painting, or poetry. She is absolutely fascinated by magic as well, finding it to be a kind of art in a way. Though she obviously can't bring weapons onto school grounds, she always has some kind of knife or smaller dagger with her when going out in public, keeping it in the leather hilt she was strapped around her torso.
