 MIKOEighteen (Sixteen) | Female | Player | Hope/Light/Anything Holy | Ibaraki HanakoThe CharacterHanako was born to a traditional Japanese family that lived among an old Shinto shrine near the mountains. For generations, the Ibaraki family has guarded this shrine, and the women of the family would become the shrine's maidens. Hanako was no exception.
Hanako's mother trained her from her first steps onward on how to become the proper shrine maiden, so that one day, she passed down the family's torch down to her. At age thirteen, Hanako's mother disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and Hanako's tutelage ceased. Her grandparents took the disappearance to be a bad omen, and it was rumored that her mother was "spirited away" by a vengeful demon. From her mother's disappearance, onward - Hanako was named the head maiden of the shrine.
Flash-forward four years to current place and time; Hanako decided she couldn't live on only charitable donations to the shrine alone. Her grandparents had passed away two years before, and Hanako knew she could only live on her own if she got a job. And so, aside her daily Shinto rituals and offerings, Hanako gets on her mountain bike and makes the morning commute to her job as a waitress in a small café in the city. She wakes up extra early every morning to clock-in at work on time, but still somehow manages to be late. Her boss is a very kind woman, however, and constantly cuts her more slack than Hanako probably deserves.
One day, on her way home, Hanako stumbled upon an advertisement on a digital billboard in the streets, talking about the latest virtual-reality craze, Digimon Online. Unable to resist and deciding to give herself a break now and again, Hanako managed to make her unreasonable work-and-shrine-schedule work out to a point where she can stop by a public facility at least a few times a week to indulge herself in the digital realm.
As a gag, Hanako made her virtual avatar look as much like her as possible - shrine maiden dress and all - and dubbed the character "Miko", the term Miko being a Shinto term for the maidens of the shrines.
The RPername Hana is preferred.
