Difference between revisions of "Benihime Asano"

"Please, tell me what's bothering you. We're friends, aren't we?"

There is little to be said of Benihime Asano; she speaks not a word of her past, or of herself, keeping all things about her under proverbial lock and key. However, despite the immense secrecy, she is a seemingly good-natured and soft-spoken young lady with a penchant for being extremely well-mannered and polite. But nothing is as it seems; it is said she is the last living heiress to great family wealth, a young woman with a deeply-troubled past she'd left behind. Most of her peers view her as peculiar and strange for her odd mannerisms and sometimes bizarre behaviors. Some, however, swear she is an arrogant manipulator, a venomous witch who delights in nothing more than others' emotional pain and suffering. Despite wildly varying opinion, she is perfectly content to carry on as she does, maintaining an odd mystery to her very existence.

Known as both a fierce warrior and powerful sorceress who hailed from Athens, Carman invaded Ireland with her three sons, known as Dub (black, darkness), Dother (evil) and Dian (violence). Using her black magic, she blighted the fruits out of spite and ravaged the lands in her invasion. Only the Tuatha Dé Danann were able to stop her, driving her sons out of the land and imprisoning her, where she eventually died of longing and loneliness.

SENSE: Like wandering down a dark forested road in the middle of night; certainly it's just your imagination that there are eyes out there in the darkness, that your every single move is being watched from afar. It isn't real, that sensation racing down your spine, that cold chill that makes it seem like something wicked is out there watching and waiting for you. It's cold, like a chilly autumn wind, but completely innocent and harmless. It's just your imagination...
SMELL: The scent of biting autumn rain and wet leaves. The sweet and pungent scent of overly-ripened apples.
SOUND: The whisper of leaves, the distant movement of something stirring through fallen foliage.

• 0 - THE FOOL
  • Kyrie: Having encountered the mysterious "Kyrie" in the Dark Hour after venturing there to check it out, Benihime is convinced that he is a true villain--and admires and adores this about him. Enamored by his care-less attitude, his flighty behavior and pretty much everything about his presence, to the point of willingly offering him her services. Whether he accepts remains uncertain--but she hopes to be able to aid and follow him in his pursuits. Yes, she has a crush on him, too. ...yeah.

• I - THE MAGICIAN
  • Yuzuriha Hatsumi: In a chance (?) meeting on the Samegawa flood plain in Inaba, Benihime met the young Ninja girl in passing. However, unlike past encounters with the denizens of Inaba, she decided that she'd very much like to become fast friends with Yuzuriha. Something about her duality piques Benihime's interests. They will be the best friends ever.

• II - THE HIGH PRIESTESS
  • None

• III - THE EMPRESS
  • None

• IV - THE EMPEROR
  • Kanji Tatsumi: Benihime met Kanji in his hometown of Inaba when taking a day trip for herself to the sleepy backwater town. She does not particularly like him, but finds his loud demeanor and abrasive behaviorism mildly intriguing.
  • Kyo Enda: The ex-boyfriend of Miwa Saitou, Benihime's interest in him came about actually meeting the former Sevens' class president in the flesh. Well-mannered, flattering and charming, she rather enjoyed making of his acquaintance...in front of his ex-girlfriend. Being handsome also certainly helped her develop a rather positive opinion of the young man.

• IX - THE HERMIT

• X - THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE
  • Akira Ookuma: One of Omoikane's "lackeys," she'd met Akira once when trying to get in touch with Daisuke. She pities him; after all, working for a man like Daisuke must be a real downer on the self-confidence. He amuses her, however--he is certainly not what he appears to be, and that alone interests her because it reminds her very much of herself. There's certainly something there beneath the skin, and she certainly wishes to discover it and exploit it for her own amusement.

• XI - STRENGTH
  • None

• XII - THE HANGED MAN
  • None

• XIII - DEATH
  • None

• XVI - TEMPERANCE
  • Miwa Saitou: A young college student who is of seemingly polite and patient demeanor, Benihime happened upon her by chance in Sumaru. A former student of Sevens, her interest in poor Miwa stemmed only from the fact that she was the now-former girlfriend of Kyo Enda. While the "rift" between the former lovers seems smoothed over, there's just something about it all that makes Benihime want to exploit and break the well-mannered Miwa.

• XV - THE DEVIL
  • Daisuke Itami: A man as bizarre as Benihime, albeit more openly so about it, she hasn't developed a full opinion of him beyond "completely immature." Fortunately for him his reputation is good enough that she's willing to give him a chance to prove himself to her. He's intriguing enough that she's willing to subject herself to his strange behavior for a chance to pick him apart further and see just what makes him tick.
