Difference between revisions of "Thora Kobayashi"

Revision as of 21:22, 3 June 2010

Profile

Known to many as the infamous Oni of Osaka, Thora Kobayashi's vicious reputation for violence has spread far and wide throughout Japan. Once forced to move often because of her delinquent behavior, she now remains in Inaba under the care of her family friend and guardian Kurou Morita. Occasionally she attends school but more often she can be found apprenticing at Daidara's Metalworks. With the murder of her mother in early April, 2009 under suspicious circumstances and Thora's subsequent disappearance, the rumors of the teenager only grew. Commanding the persona Garm, her reputation in the supernatural community has grown as well, proving her to be a capable, if difficult, ally. She remains reclusive, antisocial, and extremely quick to anger. While she is aware of the fine line that separates her from those she calls enemies, she's not quite ready to step back due to the stress and frustration caused by being aware of the supernatural in the first place. Her mixed Japanese-European heritage gives her a large and stocky appearance that isn't soon forgotten.

Older Profiles

Known as the infamous Oni of Osaka, Thora's reputation as a vicious miscreant has spread far and wide throughout Japan. Kicked out of at least half a dozen schools, mostly for assaulting students and occasionally teachers, she and her single mother were forced to move often. Having recently moved to Inaba with the hope of avoiding being viewed as a portent of disaster, she supposedly attends Yasogami High School but is rarely seen, choosing to be mostly truant in favor of apprenticing behind the scenes at the Daidara Metal Works. Due to her large and stocky appearance resulting from her mixed heritage, she is used to and fully expects to be treated with scorn by her peers. Reclusive and mildly antisocial, she is quick to anger and even quicker to recklessly throw a punch. Beneath the anger lurks a depressed and selfish girl, growing steadily ready to give up on the world that rejected her.

• IV - THE EMPEROR
  • Kanji Tatsumi
  • Naoya Toudou

• V - THE HIEROPHANT
  • Shinjiro Aragaki: The only person she'll call senpai. :|
  • Mae Ikina: Technically her student. Thora feels she's partially responsible for getting Mae shadow-possessed and is looking for a way to reverse it. Lately Thora has lost touch with Mae and hasn't spent much time worrying about her.

• VI - THE LOVERS
  • Tohya Kidzuki: Thora shares a distant relationship with Tohya right now. Tohya has, in confidence, shared the reason she is in the NWO/KNOWS with Thora and, unlike before when they'd first met, cannot think as ill of her. Tasked with keeping Tohya safe, Thora tends to be overprotective and seems to be concerned for her well-being. To survive in Mikage-Cho, Thora forged her a small dagger that bares a strong resemblance to depictions of the dagger used in the final act of Romeo and Juliette.

• VII - THE CHARIOT
  • Aigis: Thora's best and longest-lasting friend. A chance meeting in the electronics department of Junes lead to a long discussion about motorcycles. Thora's always felt comfortable opening up to Aigis since she believes that because Aigis is a robot, she isn't plagued by the human biases and faults that have kept people from being her friend in the past. Thora secretly harbors the desire to make Aigis a weapon but is eternally disappointed since her technology level is way above what Thora is capable of.
  • Fumiya Watanabe: Initially viewed as someone who was mocking Thora, Fumiya was quickly elevated to "severe annoyance" when he kept poking his head in matters supernatural. Thora issued several warnings that were not heeded and eventually gave up, letting fate run its course so he could learn his lesson first-hand in the TV world. It wasn't until Fumiya later revealed his apparent act of murder in the SEBEC building to Thora that she began to feel any sort of regret or responsibility for getting Fumiya involved. Despite the rocky start, they've gradually become pretty good friends.
  • Chie Satonaka: Another person that Thora is gradually growing closer to in friendship. Thora likes her because she's strong and very down to business. She also came to save her from the TV dungeon which earns many points in Thora's book.

• VIII - JUSTICE
  • Ken Amada: Thora sees herself in the young boy that wants to be stronger and thus felt the urge to help him out. Forged him a heavy spear that he will deliberately have to train more in order to properly use.

• IX - THE HERMIT
  • Will Dent

• X - THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE
  • Naoto Shirogane
  • Yoshiro Yoshino
  • Ran Itoh

• XI - STRENGTH
  • Enoha Koinose

• XII - THE HANGED MAN
  • Thora has no notable Hanged Man links.

• XIII - DEATH
  • Shirou Sekigawa: Like most relationships with Thora, Shirou's had a rocky start where he used Thora to practice asking girls out. Angered by his insincerity, Thora turned him away and remained hostile for him quite some time, even after he made amends by taking her out on a date. Gradually, she came to realize that the two did have a lot in common (their love for metal) and eventually the two began dating. As his closeness to her began to drag Shirou into the supernatural, Thora tried telling him to back off, but to no avail. When Shirou was thrown in the TV with his friend Koichi, she was the one to lead the way and retrieve him. Their relationship is pretty stable despite Thora's underlying worry that Shirou will one day leave her for a prettier girl. This worry was somewhat relieved when Shirou stabbed the DVA machine in order to get to her, directly precipitating the swallowing of Lunarvale into Mikage-Cho. Thora finds the fact that he basically destroyed a small piece of reality for her kind of hot.

• XVI - TEMPERANCE
  • Naomi Suzuno: A fellow member of the "Daybreak Squad", Naomi strikes her as the exact opposite of herself. Rich, beautiful, smart and naturally, this intimidates her a little. Shirou apparently gets along with her well so she's probably not that bad. Thora first met Naomi in Mikage-cho but never really had the chance to talk to her. So far they've had a few awkward meetings.

• XV - THE DEVIL
  • Itsuka Mizuhara: TEAM ECLIPSE! Thora calls her Itsuka-chan and trusts her quite a bit. Itsuka is one of the few people that have received a custom weapon from Thora (a celtic axe in her case). Itsuka's sheer devotion to Shiki impresses her a little.

• XVI - THE TOWER
  • Reid O'Lennon: AN AMERICAN that assisted Thora back in a Lib drug bust in Lunarvale. He is actually the person Thora credits to why everyone was able to escape alive.
  • Himeru Namikawa:
  • Takahisa Kandori

• XVII - THE STAR

  • Hinata Itoh

• XVIII - THE MOON
  • Farah Newman

• XIX - THE SUN
