"S-shy.. Quiet.. L-lonely."
➟ Raito is indeed very quiet. She's easily outspoken because she is so shy and all. She won't let anyone walk all over her though, she cant put up with it. Because she was bullied when she was younger, she wont stand to see it happen to others because she fells like it ruined her life. She is very protective of younger kias, especially the kids, and PPS kiamaras. She is used to others walking over her, and she doesnt have many friends. She gets very lonely, and usually tries to seek all attention possible. This makes it a bit worse for her, because others may think of her as a so called 'attention hog' but in truth she rarely gets any. She is a very kind, bright, gentle spirit. But she's also terribly old-fashioned. She has a way of using the prefixes -kun, -chan, or adding -sempai to the end of everything she says, depending on the person she's speaking with.

B A C K G R O U N D
""B-believe it o-or not."
➟They called her 'Rantan no ko' or Child of the Lantern. She was born on a chinese new year night, under floating chinese lanterns lit up to celebrate the Year of the Rat. Her grandmother gave her the name, Sobokuna Raito, meaning Rustic Light. She was named for the bright rusty red-brown fur that was lit up by the gorgeous yellow and red lights the paper lanterns produced. Her mother, once she was rested, bought a miniture rounded lantern. Instead of putting a candle, she put a light in it. It would oonly go out, in dire times of danger. She wrapped it around her daughters tail, tying it tight. Each milestone, she gained a new accessory. Her eyes opened, she gained a dangling light for her tail. She sat up by herself, another light. Her first walking, her first words, two more lights. Her first straight A grade, a tail band. Graduating fifth grade, another tail band. Middle school graduation, hair band. Highschool graduation... she got her most prized accessory. Her chopsticks. Her grandmother gave her them, to congratulate her on succeeding so far in life. Now.. that she was an adult, she gained her first feathers. Two earring feathers, and one for her left foreleg. She got them, on a Chinese new year, under the floating chinese lanterns. She had made it past the bullying, the harsh names. The things that made her like this. Quiet, shy, nervous, but focused and determined. If it hadnt been for her grandmother pushing her on, she never would have tried so hard, or graduated so easily. This was her life, up until now.

➟ She's beautiful, for one. I love chinese lanterns, which is what caught me most. And I could give her an amazing personality, just like I did for Soliel. I can make her a real creation, one that would easily be loved by all. I know this is a rather usual explination, but I really feel this way. I've gotten quite attached, and everyday I'm panicking and panicking, trying to make sure my form is the best that it can be. I've only done that once before, and thats for Soliel's form. She'd be my second girl, and would odd up the playing field, but I love odd numbers. If I dont win, I understand. But I would really like to, because I could never not manage to form such a beautiful personality and life for this girl.

➟ She means freedom and light to me. When I saw her, my mood highly increased, and still does. She means everything to me, well her, Soliel and Alias cause I love them all. I would love to be able to call her mine, and say that she is my saving grace I guess. She made me smile for the first time that day, and still manages to whenever I glance back at this page to look at my form. She'd mean everything to me, and I'd make sure everyone knew that.

➟ Well, I've already given out my best pets, Yellow Toxic included, for art of her. And made some myself. I'm so in love with this girl, you'll never be able to keep up with my activity. Course, I'd order art, post on the fanclub, rp with her on the fansite chat. Make her a page. Just tons and tons of things. I would really love it if you could give me this little girl to love for the rest of my life, even after I've fallen out of the CS habit.

L A N T E R N S
➟Should lanterns shine, the holy face,
Caught in an octagon of unaccustomed light,
Would wither up, an any boy of love
Look twice before he fell from grace.
The features in their private dark
Are formed of flesh, but let the false day come
And from her lips the faded pigments fall,
The mummy cloths expose an ancient breast.

I have been told to reason by the heart,
But heart, like head, leads helplessly;
I have been told to reason by the pulse,
And, when it quickens, alter the actions' pace
Till field and roof lie level and the same
So fast I move defying time, the quiet gentleman
Whose beard wags in Egyptian wind.

I have heard may years of telling,
And many years should see some change.

The ball I threw while playing in the park
Has not yet reached the ground.

Keiko

personality;;

Keiko is one of the most kindest, most loveliest Kiamaras you could ever met. Her lack of confidence is very small as she is quest most of the time. She is very timid when she talks to others as she isn't very well prepared to speak, although when she mumbles, she likes to have a little giggle to herself. Whenever Keiko talks to someone, she usually avoids eye contact with others and looks at the ground, making it hard for some others to understand what she says. Although Keiko can be very quiet, she can be very friendly and sweet on the other side of shyness. Al you need is a little confidence in her and she will peck up a bit. She can be a great friend to talk to and will always be their to help anyone in need. She is always very calm and here full and will always try to bring a little smile across a friends face when their feeling down.

She told me not to step on the cracks
I told her not to fuss and relax
Pretty little face stopped me in my tracks
But now she sleeps with one eye open
That's the price she'll pay

I took a knife and cut out her eye
I took it home and watched it wither and die
Well, she's lucky that I didn't slip her a smile
That's why she sleeps with one eye open
That's the price she'll pay

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry

I slipped my hand under her skirt
I said don't worry, it's not gonna hurt
Oh, my reputation's kinda clouded with dirt
That's why you sleep with one eye open
But that's the price you pay

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry

You made me cry
You made me cry
You made me cry

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out my pie

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry

Know how to treat me that way, okay?

First thing, notice when I have a different
hair style from usual
Second thing, be sure to go as far as
looking down at my shoes properly, do
I make myself clear?
Third thing, for every single world I say,
reply with three words
If you understand that there is nothing
in my right hand, then do something!

I'm not really saying anything selfish
I want you to think from your heart that
I'm cute

The number one princess in the world
Realize that, hey, hey
Keeping me waiting is out of the question
Who do you think I am?
Somehow I would already like to eat something
sweet!
Go get it immediately

My fault? Let's call it a cute mistake
Complaints are not permitted
Well? Are you clearly hearing what I am
saying? Come on
Ah, and what about this? A white horse, isn't that
needless to say?
Come and take me away
If you understand that, take my hand and say
"Princess"

I'm not really saying anything selfish
But you know, it's alright to scold me a little?

My very own prince in the world
Realize that, look, look
Our hands are empty
Reticent and blunt prince
Come one, why! Just notice it soon

You definitely don't understand! Don't understand...

Shortcake with a strawberry placed on top
Pudding made with well-selected eggs
Everything, everything, I will hold myself back from it
Don't think that I'm a selfish girl
Even I will be able to do it if I try
You will regret this afterwards

It's natural! Even for me

The number one princess in the world
See me clearly okay, shall I go somewhere?
Suddenly I was held tightly, it was so abrupt, eh?
"It's dangerous, you'll be hit" So saying that you turn away
...I think this person is dangerous though

de·ter·mi·na·tion
noun

Rekka is always determined to finish what she started. The kiamara does not have a care if it seems impossible, if others have failed, etc. She keeps trying. This one rule is engraved in her brain: "Never give up". If she does ever give up, she will feel as if she has failed herself.

charm·ing & flir·ta·tious
adjective & adjective
pleasing; delightful & given or inclined to flirtation.

Rekka has an eye for beautiful women. And, unsurprisingly, they have an eye for her too. As she strides past they feel charmed beneath her influence. She surrounds herself with ladies and will never hesitate to steal your woman. Who knows what enables her to do this? her looks? Her behavior?

ro·bust
adjective
strong and healthy; hardy; vigorous,

This female kiamara enjoys athletic activities and sports. Her two big favorites are track and tennis. The gal works on the track team in her high school. These two sports make her very toned and thin and it's also just her body type.

fear·less
adjective
without fear; bold or brave; intrepid, Loyalty, Strength of purpose.

Rekka is utterly fearless, like a fire. This an advantage to her so she can naturally do exciting things without feeling completely afraid. Sometimes s considered reckless what she does. So, this trait is a disadvantages for the kiamaras around her.

pos·ses·sive
adjective
jealously opposed to the personal independence of, or to any influence other than one's own upon, a child, spouse, etc.

Rekka is rather possessive kind of kiamara. She doesn't appreciate in her friends or spouse leaving her alone or hanging out with others. She is rather afraid she will lose them to another kiamara, so she tries her absolute best to keep that sort of event out of her life. And this trait also supports her opinion on the rule 'you can only choose one' in romance books. She thinks its very cliché.

Control freak
informal
a person having a strong need for control over people or situations,

Rekka has a iron grasp over others, due to the fact she is very manipulative. She can't seem to get over the need of controlling others. Does she do it to keep herself feeling safe? Rekka's not even sure of that answer herself.

craft·y
adjective
skillful in underhand or evil schemes; cunning; deceitful; sly.,

The charming kiamara is definitely cunning. Her intelligence certainly supports that. Rekka is slick and finds it pretty easy to squirm out of tough situations. And she comes up with tricks or schemes to play on others, mostly only kiamaras she can identify with personal relationships.

in·tol·er·ance
noun
lack of toleration; unwillingness or refusal to tolerate or respect contrary opinions or beliefs, etc.

Ms Kobayashi finds it extremely hard to be tolerant. She tries hard to be, but often fails. She just can't stand other opinions. They just feel... wrong. It's not like she can help it though. Everybody has their ups and downs she says.

ruth·less
adjective
without pity or compassion; cruel; merciless:

Rekka does not express the feeling called pity or mercy. The kiamara despises pity and will not tolerate it a bit if you decide to pity her. She will have none of it. She won't show any to you and hopes you do the same back.

en·vy
noun
a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc.

When Akari is envious, it is just a tinge of envy. She'll be green with envy, or in her case red with envy. She can't help but feel envious when others are admired more than her. The kiamara wants to be admired, not watch others being fussed over about.

ʀᴇʟᴀтıσɴsнıρs

Rapunzel

Rapunzel and Rekka have a definitely not platonic relationship. The fire kiamara has definitely flirted with the wig obsessed kiamara more than a few times. Rekka expresses interest in her and hopes to find the beauty once again. Just hoping that she's still alive.

Nanaue(The name my friend is using for his try-out.)

These two are the best friends of best friends. They began their friendship with a simply clumsy boy falling into a ant hill, and a helpful kiamara who shooshed him and got the ants off. Nanamue and Rekka rarely separate, and definitely against the idea of doing so. They are a close connection and plan on keeping it. Nanumue and Rekka have a tied, completely platonic, relationship.

Julianna

The firey girl can not think of Julianna of anything other than a little sister and treats her like one. Julianna kinda serves as the little sister that Rekka never had. And they act more like siblings more than close friends. And Rekka hopes it'll stay like that.

Crushed Velvet

Crushed Velvet is one of the friends that Rekka hangs around to tell her problems to or calm down. Rekka enjoys her soft tone and motherly acts. He fiery kiamara sort of thinks of Crushed Velvet as a helpful older sister. Well, at least like the older sister she dreamed of.

Xanzavrah

Rekka spares flushed feelings for Xanzavrah, or so she calls Xanza or Lady Xanza. The two talk often and Xanza is fully aware of the fiery kiamara's feelings. Rekka acknowledges this, after the way she has seen her crush stare at Snapple.

Snapple

Kobayashi identifies Snapple as the cute girl Xanza has a crush on or just a friend. She thinks she's a fun gal to hang around and does from time to time. And she can't lie and say she hasn't flirted with her before. Though, flirting is simply in her nature. Snapple hopefully doesn't take her too seriously. Rekka and Snapple are basically good friends.

Chiron

Chiron, last but not least. Rekka has always thought of the boy as an older brother. He acts rather mature and helps her from time to time. The two are close buddies, but not as close as to others. Kobayashi even accidentally has called Chiron her older brother, but those times were rather accidental.

Finally, the day had come. My favorite day of the year and the day I cherished the most. August the Sixteenth. The Toro Nagashi festival! The night where the beautiful lanterns would float down the river. The white lanterns signaling the lost lives in the past year and the regular, orange ones would signal a death from the past few years. And their would be bright, beautiful fireworks shooting into the sky and teased the audience, making them beg for another and another. The only thing that could be as great as the festival were the Hanakae Festival or the Fukui Spring Festival Parade.
The Hanakae Festival was filled with joyous romance and the Fukui Parade was always fun and exciting; everything you would expect from a parade.
My eye twitched in annoyance as my eyes lingered at the clock. Only an agonizing ten minutes till seventh period ended. I had to snap back to attention. English wasn't too bad. It was one of my favorite subjects in fact and it was the only reason I meant one of my closest friends. Rapunzel. Rapunzel was a recent transfer student from America. She was quite exotic to everyone, considering she was almost like a completely different world. They didn't have Industrial Arts or Homemaking as their classes. Strange.
Though, nobody really understood Rapunzel at first, except for me. I was the only kiamara who was skilled in English and they aligned her classes with mine so I could help her through classes and translate.
I watched as she twirled her golden locks with her paw. And the hair drooped down to the floor, making easy for any kiamara walking by to step on it. Of course, her hair wasn't real. It was a wig, completely fake. She only started wearing that wig, when she was chosen as the part of Rapunzel in the play. The wig she had to wear for the play suited the girl too well and it was like she was stuck to that thing like glue. Literally, the sunset kiamara went everywhere with that thing and refused to take it off. And the teachers gave out exceptions to her because to them, she didn't know any better. Rapunzel had a hard time adjusting to the school uniform as well. She didn't quite like the fact she had to wear a skirt and a shirt that came with a ribbon. The purple kiamara only accepted it because it matched along with her. She was just a troublesome teenager in their eyes. Just like any other.
I leaned over and opened my mouth to whisper in secret, but the bell rang as soon as I spoke. My words faded and probably never came close to reaching her. Rapunzel began to gather her books and got up to leave. "Wait." I commanded, latching onto her wrist. I didn't want to pull too hard though. The last thing I wanted is for every kiamara in the classroom seeing my friend's underpants.
"What is it?" A rather foreign like accent replied to my command.
"Remember, you're coming with my family."
"To where?"
"Toro Nagashi."
"Toro what?"
I rolled my eyes in impatience.
"The Lantern festival. We discussed this, Zel."
"I told you to call me Rap or Rapunzel."
"Zel just fits you better. Would you prefer Zelda instead?"
"What?"
I shook my head in frustration. "Nevermind."
------------
"Mother, I don't see the point in wearing these to the festival." I spoke stubbornly, as my mother laid out two kimonos, to be accurate two komons. Sure, komons were casual and you could wear them around town, but it just didn't feel right to be wearing one when everybody else would be in casual wear. Rapunzel and I would stick out like a sore thumb. I rather enjoyed attention, but I didn't want that sort of attention.
"Yes, Rekka. And don't start one of your fits." My mother replied.
I gritted my teeth in anger and embarrassment. I never threw tantrums, other than when she had left the room. And she goes and embarrasses me in front of one of my friends, not to mention one I had more than platonic feelings for. I slowly began to count inside my mind. One... Two... Three... Four... Five... I began to calm down, number by number.
I may have wanted to scream and stomp at the moment, but I rather not do that in front of Rapunzel. I was not going to show myself like that. "Fine." I responded calmly. I turned to speak to my wig-obsessed friend, but didn't find her in her spot. Huh, where could she have possibly gone? Then again, Rapunzel was quite nosy. She was exploring my house like it was some sanctuary earlier, luckily I stopped her before she got to my room. Huh. It was like she had never seen a house other than her own before.
Before I could make any further comments inside my head, I heard things shift and unidentified objects fall in my room. "Wait." I told my mom before bolting out of the room. I sprinted down the hallway, quickly exiting my mother's room and heading towards my own. I turned the corner and ran straight into my room and found a guilty looking Rapunzel.
Anger swelled up in my stomach. My eyebrows furrowed in angst as my eyes scanned over the scene. My room was a complete mess due to my friend's scavenging.
"Rapunzel..."
------------------------
And I certainly took care of that situation, right me? Of course I did. I made sure Rapunzel wouldn't be peeking in my room ever again. She had no right to be looking through my stuff, no matter how interesting I was or how nosy she was.
My mother, Rapunzel and I were standing in front of a train station. Since the festival was all the way in Tsuruga, we had to take the train. I mean, it would take forever to walk from Fukui to Tsuruga. And I surely wasn't up for that sort of trip.
I felt quite impatient. Why was the train taking so long? And my legs were getting quite tired. And it wasn't like this komon was making it any easier for me. I couldn't sit down, my mom certainly wouldn't approve of it.
And I rather did not want to be chewed out right in front of the pretty sunset-colored kiamara. And I just don't like embarrassing myself in front of anyone in general.
My eyes wandered over to the wig obsessed kiamara. She look more beautiful than usual. The komon definitely made her stand out from others, well more than she already did. I couldn't help but let a burst of red cross over my face. It wouldn't be that noticeable though. I mean after all, my coat is a fiery red. You might have to be close to me, and I mean really close to see it. Or maybe everybody has seen it, but never have just said anything about it. It's most likely the former.
Just when I thought the train would not come, I heard the screeching of the train breaks. As well the wind blowing the litter everywhere was quite a sign.
I was happy to see the train, until I noticed how crowded it was. Everybody was going to the festival, it wasn't unusual but I still rather didn't like it. I'm not the kind of person who personally enjoys crowded trains. A bunch of sweaty bodies surrounding me and enclosing around me is not my idea of a good time.
While I was quite reluctant on the whole idea, I climbed off the train. And I got sat next probably the most hygiene challenged kiamara ever.
I'll write more about the festival later. Mother says I need to put the journal down
---------------------
She's gone.
Rapunzel's gone.
All three of us set off lanterns and were having such a great time. Rapunzel's and I even held hands for awhile...
though, I told her to stay put while I'd buy something from the store for us.
I came back with the surprise in the grocery bag, but I was left with no Rapunzel. All was left was a trace of the wig she loved so dearly. Nothing else.
Where could she have gone? Why did she leave? Did I do something wrong?
My mother and I searched the festival grounds and nearby places. She was nowhere to be found. It was like she was snatched into the night.
Rapunzel, please come back.
All I'm asking you right now is to be alive and okay. And that you just had to go home early or your mother would have been cross. That's all. You don't have to do anything else. Just be well.

нısтσʀʏ
The firey kiamara was born on November 18th 1995 in Fukui, Fukui. Her mother named her Rekka, meaning fire. It was quite unusual considering that most girl names contained something about flowers or fragrances or beautiful things. Though, Rekka's mother couldn't think of anything other than a fire once she saw her child. Rekka grew up in a family as a only child and only having a mother. Her father died to over working himself when she was young, so she isn't too bothered by it. The fiery girl never really met her father in a way, so she never had a chance to feel sad about it. Though, she did feel quite lonely with her being a only child and her mom at work. Rekka couldn't be frustrated at her mother though, it wasn't her fault that the main support of the family passed away. So Kobayashi was always spending her time at a friend's house, because her mother didn't trust her alone too long.
Rekka's mother was a bit strict on grades though. Only A's and B's were allowed. Only exceptions are if they teacher just hands out bad grades.
Kobayashi learned how to cook and clean by herself since her mom was at work or when her friends were too busy. So, she is already good and familiar with chores to this day. She's living her life happily and to the fullest.

poems;; Nightdreamer
By Wind Song

I could sit here forever, faithful.
Place my trust in this deep blue sky.
All I know is I want to be there,
I set my hopes and intentions high.

I'm sure I'll race with the asteroids
Watch clumsy planets collide.
I've never feared the darkest black,
A light is always by my side.

Looking up now I hear myself sigh,
A warm feeling as I notice one,
Maybe ten tiny stars, shyly shining.
Like children, they want my attention.

I love them the most, strangely.
Still mesmerised by space above-
Why can't I pull my eyes away?
A tiny heartache growing inside...

Dusk Hill

Sitting on the dusk hill's edge,
I watch the asteroids glide and fledge.
They fascinate me to the heart,
They're like a painting, a work of art.

I can see myself up with the stars,
On Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Mars.
I try, I try, oh I try so hard,
But will I ever get up there, its hard to describe.

Nebulas, galaxies, cosmos and moons,
The stars twinkle and sound calming tunes.
Jumping from planets to dazzling stars,
Why can't stars be our transport, instead of loud cars?

Sitting on the dusk hill's edge,
I see the galaxies over the hedge.
Space, you're my darling, my saviour, my life,
What is your secret, my darling, my wife?...
