favorite food & why (500 word limit);;
Onigiri loves most Japanese food, but she doesn't like all Japanese food. And shes not too fond of a lot of traditional Japanese sweets that are based on sweetened beans. For the most part they are way too sweet for her, and if she makes them for herself shes always adjusting the sweetness level, as with her ohagi or botamochi.

Mitarashi dango, however, are her absolute favorite traditional sweet. They are not really that sweet really - that shiny caramel colored sauce (which is called mitarashi sauce) is sweet and savory at the same time. It goes perfectly with the bland, slightly chewy dango or dumplings. (Dango is the name for unfilled solid dumplings.)

You will probably see the dango just plained boiled more often than not. But grilling the dango makes them taste much better, in her opinion.

There are meny types of dango such as:
Anko: Commonly known as (sweetened) red bean paste, while ingredients other than azuki are used on rare occasions.
Chadango: Green-tea flavored dango.
Bocchan dango: Dango that has three colors. One is colored by red beans, the second by eggs, and the third by green tea.
Denpun dango: Variety of dango from Hokkaido made from potato flour and baked with sweet boiled beans.
Kuri dango: Dango coated in chestnut paste.
Chichi dango: Slightly sweet light treats usually eaten as a dessert.
Hanami dango: Also has three colors, Hanami dango is traditionally made during Sakura-viewing season. Hence the name Hanami (Hanami means "flower viewing"; hana meaning "flower", and mi meaning "to see").
Goma: Sesame seeds. It is both sweet and salty.
Kibi dango: Dango made with millet flour. This variety is prominently featured in the tale of Momotaro, a folkloric Japanese hero, who offers the rounded ball (not skewered) to three talking animals in exchange for their aid in fighting demons.
Kinako: A toasted soy flour.
Kushi dango: Dango held by a skewer.
Mitarashi: Covered with a syrup made from shouyu (soy sauce), sugar and starch.
Nikudango: A type of meatball.
Teppanyaki: Dango on a skewer with a tangy teppanyaki taste.
Sasa dango: Dango that is produced and eaten primarily in Niigata Prefecture. Sasa dango has two varieties: onna dango and otoko dango. Onna Dango (literally "female dango") is filled with anko, while the otoko dango (literally "male dango") is filled with kinpira. The dango is wrapped in leaves of sasa for the purpose of preservation.

Not to mention The Big Dango Family, which she finds absolutely adorable!
Theme Song:
Dango Dango Dango Dango
Dango Daikazoku
Yancha na yaki-dango, Yasashii an-dango
Minna, minna, awasete hyakunin kazoku
aka-chan dango ha itsumo shiawase no naka de
toshiyori dango ha me wo hosometeru
nakayoshi dango te wo tsunagi ooki na marui wa ni naru yo
machi wo tsukuri dango hoshi no ue minna de waraiau yo
usagi mo sora de te wo futte miteru dekkai otsuki-sama
ureshii koto kanashii koto mo zenbu marumete.

Onigiri is eligent and kind, shes always facing things with a grin. She likes simple things and never asks for much. She finds happiness in making others smile and crys when others cry. She loves flower veiwing (mostly sakura) in the spring and sitting under a kotatsu come winter. Onigiri loves poetry and music she personally hates rock or pop but enjoys quiet instrumentals.

deer name;; Tohru
favorite food & why (500 word limit);; Tohru delights in mooncakes, she's especially attracted to the ones filled with red bean paste. Though she does love them for their taste, she often would argue it's more of what they symbolize. They are usually served at at the Mid-Autumn Festival, a chinese festival based around moon, a time where families gather together in thanksgiving and in prayer.

She herself never had a family, she was raised through foster homes, but rather then be clothed in jealousy, she has grown an appreciation for families. Her heart melts when she see a child and her mother, wishing them the best, and longs for friends that she could call a family for herself.

Though she has self control, she will only make and eat these treats twice a year, one on the date of the festival itself and the other on her birthday, though she's a little sheepish about it, as she sees it a bit of self-indulgent. Often making a lot of them to give away to friends and strangers alike, wishing them happiness and a long life.

deer name;; Meilin plum grove 'Mei'
favorite food & why (500 word limit);;

Mei is sweet and childish at heart, she's a beacon of light and hope to those around her. Other deersserts are naturally drawn to her warm personality and welcoming appearance, especially when someone's having a bad day. Because of this Meilin is like her favorite food, sugar paintings, in many ways. Whenever you're feeling down, you always crave your comfort food. For a lot this food is some type of sweet, and while Meilin prides herself in a healthier diet and the sweets of fruit her comfort food is the artistic hardened sugar.

She's a fantastic cook despite her clumsy tendencies, and has tried creating these delicious works of art herself but her artistic skills are lacking. Because of this delicacy she has made quite a few friends, with street vendors and other enjoyers of sweets. She never thought something as simple as her favorite food would break her out of her shy shell and open up to the world of possibilities. It has even opened her eyes to the enjoyment of other art forms, such as shogo and origami, that she now takes classes for and partakes in.

deer name;; Anri
favorite food & why (500 word limit);; Anri's favourite food is Vegetable udon due to the love for the gummy noodles used in making it, they are often quite chewy and interesting to eat and she adores how the vegetables absorb the broth use to cook them creating a wonderful flavour when bitten in to. To top it off the first time she had ever had Vegetable udon was when she was having an all around bad day and one of her friends called her up saying that they had gotten an extra udon with their take out order and wondered if she wanted it. The overwhelming flavours became a comfort for her and reminds her of happier days when ever she is sad.
