Meet the parents!

[⚘ Emery]

So I talk about Kikue's parents a lot in her posts because they're actually a pretty big part of her life. And when I make a character I have to know every little specific detail, and Kikue's parents and background in no exception. So here's me letting out my muse for her parents. Feel free to add your npc family too if you want! :3

KIKUE'S FAMILY

The Himawari’s are not your typical, rich, Ouran family. Although Kikue’s father came from a wealthy background with his family who are firmly rooted in the entertainment industry, Kikue’s mother came from a humble commoner background. Her humility hasn’t changed since marrying her husband, and she does her best to teach this virtue to her daughter. They doesn’t have butlers, cooks, or maids - just a cleaning service that comes a few times a week. It's a regular thing to have family dinners, and they value their tight-knit relationship with one another.

MRS. HIMAWARI

Age: late 30’s
Occupation: Owner/Company Manager of Himawari Records and recording studios
Likes: Music (duh), cooking, her family, shopping, flowers, having company, listening to her daughter play piano
Describe in 3 words: Hospitable, compassionate, willful
About: The young Mrs. Himawari grew up in a commoner household, attending a commoner public school. The success she has accomplished today with her recording company is all due to her hard work, determination, and enthusiasm to make her dream a reality. Albeit, her husband’s family’s financial contribution did help her out.

Considering she owns such a thriving company, Mrs. Himawari still manages to maintain her role as a mother and housewife without going insane. She’s always made sure to be apart of raising her daughter – making her an important role in Kikue’s life. She comes home from work every day to make her family dinner, and always with a perky smile on her face. Before anything else, Mrs. Himawari’s family comes first.

She’s the cool mom that Kikue looks up to in every aspect – but is also skeptical to introduce her to her friends because they might just end up thinking that Mrs. Himawari is cooler than her. She treats Kikue’s friends like they were her own kids and goes out of her way to make them feel welcome and loved. If they have no one else, Mrs. Himawari is always there to support them.

Fun facts:

- She doesn’t even play a musical instrument. She self-taught herself a little piano in high school and has an amazing voice, but most of what she knows how to play was taught to her by her husband.
- She’s just as big of a shopaholic – if not more so – as Kikue.
- Her husband was the first recording artist that she hired at her first studio.
- It took her two years to realize he was in love with her, and another year to realize she was in love with him.

MR. HIMAWARI

Age: early-mid 40’s
Occupation: Producer for Himawari Records, songwriter
Likes: Guitars, cake, writing songs with Kikue, rock, jamming with other musicians
Describe in 3 words: Mellow, constructive, earnest
About: The Himawari family has long been in the entertainment industry before Kikue’s dad was born. He grew up immersed in music, just like his own daughter would someday. After studying production and playing a few gigs here and there, Mr. Himawari decided to get a job as a recording artist for a small, brand new record company which would eventually be knows as Himawari Records.

Unlike his wife and daughter, Mr. Himawari is more reserved and soft-spoken. He expresses himself best through his music. Unless you bring up guitars and technical gear – then he’ll talk your ear off. He’s an incredibly passionate musician. He does everything and feels deeply with his whole heart. Kikue’s mother says that her father didn’t used to be as "soft: before they had her.

Mr. Himawari is most likely the reason Kikue believes she really is a princess – or deserves to be treated like one. She's daddy's girl and has always spoiled her rotten. While his wife is more strict, Mr. Himawari can barely say no to his little musician. He’s convinced that no father could ever be as proud of their daughter as he is. Sometimes he believes that Kikue has even surpassed his musical talent. It seems like just yesterday she couldn’t reach the piano without sitting on her father’s lap.


Fun facts:

- One of his uncles owned a large guitar center in Shinjuku where the young Himawari boy frequently spent most of his time helping out (which mostly meant that he played guitar while his uncle worked).
- Mr. Himawari fell in love at first sight when he initially met his wife, and once he heard her dream for the company he was determined to make it happen.
- There’s an entire room in their house dedicated to displaying his guitar collection. Don’t worry, they all get played and are well cared for.

[atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,400,true] sooo, i needed to procrastinate. this is mostly a history about the parents than anything, plus other things in general. NEVI'S FAMILY LIFE Before life in Japan, before Nevi moved into a small apartment with no one else but his cat as his companion, he actually lived in a large estate gated by sturdy brick walls and protected by the most skilled guards the underground world had the capabilities of hiring. There, he lived a good number of his childhood years as the male Rapunzel, rarely ever being permitted to leave the mansion without a flock of suited human shields to watch over him. Of course, as he aged and grew more independent, those restrictions lessened—but as far as who was responsible for raising him as a kid, it would be the family staff; they were those he considered his own aunts and uncles, even if they weren't related to him by blood. Gardens were routinely nurtured by a gardener; a stock of maids were an essential part of faculty with what messes guests often left; chauffeurs, butlers, bodyguards, private tutors—you name it—were a part of the whole house-keeping and people-tending operation. With the exception of cooks. The estate was like its own little community, and so a good number of employees lived in a servant quarters distanced from the main house. Closer followers, however, who had been around for generations were a contrary to the trend, having the privilege to live in the central building. One such tight-knit person had been what Nevi called his "zietta" (or auntie), someone who had also raised Nevi's father when he, himself, was a child; there were no need for chefs since she dominated the kitchen (along with his mother), and she was someone who fulfilled a parenting role when his mother couldn't. Not to say Nevi's mother wasn't around all the time since she was. She was his pillar, the one person he could fall back on when his dad, the person he saw as his world at the time, would disappoint him over and over. She was his educator, and as a teacher herself, hammered as much of her knowledge into him when he was home-tutored for a time. When other hired instructors' private sessions were over, she paved over whatever doubts or uncertainties he may have had regarding a math question and such, and even more so, passed on the love of culture and language onto him as a multilingual person of mixed ethnicity herself. It was because of her that he maintained good grades when he officially entered school in his later adolescent years. And I guess you can say it's because of her that he hasn't disowned his whole family. On the occasion that Nevi's father was around and not focusing on the family business, he spent as much time as he could with his understanding wife and awestruck son; he liked teaching his son about the mechanics of guns, how to wield one, and all those father-son bonding things, even having taken Nevi to a hijacking mission as part of the heir-raising program he had going. But he usually had to cancel in the middle of these activities when something urgent came up, and so it seemed as if work mattered more than family. Combined with more broken promises, Nevi's growing resentment, and a dwindling presence of a father figure, well—things escalated to what they are now. An estranged relationship.  ■ AELITA DEWITT-FERRAVIA [style=float: left; background-image: url(http://i.imgur.com/OBxwOJj.png); width: 120px; height: 200px; border: #FFF 3px solid; margin-right: 4px;] [style=float: left; background-color: #000; font-family: ms gothic; font-size: 12px; color: #FFF; padding: 6px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left; margin-right: 5px;]AGE early-mid forties (left picture: in her early twenties)[/style] [style=float: left; background-color: #000; font-family: ms gothic; font-size: 12px; color: #FFF; padding: 6px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left; margin-right: 5px;]OCCUPATION retired teacher now housewife[/style] [style=float: left; background-color: #000; font-family: ms gothic; font-size: 12px; color: #FFF; padding: 6px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left; margin-right: 5px;]DESCRIPTION Has the startling mother senses of knowing what may be troubling one's mind, often jokes that she's a psychic when people are caught off-guard by what perceptive comments she may make. Good at being the mediator between opposing forces (such as husband and son), and can be pretty nosy regarding the private lives of others. Sympathetic, makes a neat listener and advice-giver, but is no pushover and will put foot down if something doesn't do right by her. Possesses a strong sense of right and wrong, so tries to stay out of mafia-related subjects. Tends to guilt-trip people. Sort of mischievous in that sense. [/style] [style=float: left; background-color: #000; font-family: ms gothic; font-size: 12px; color: #FFF; padding: 6px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left; margin-right: 5px;]BACKGROUND Aelita DeWitt came from an upper-class family of lawyers, doctors, and professors—respectable professions that require an abundance of knowledge in given fields—and had originally been born in the Netherlands, however, soon moved to Germany early in her life when her father found an opportunity to open an academy for the youthful elite. As the success of the young academy grew and became known for its accomplishments in producing top students among other educational facilities in the city, supported by the favorable teacher to student ratio and rigorous teaching methods, Aelita's father decided to open another—but this time in France, having invested in an archaic building and renovated it. The family moved to the French country for the convenience of the knowledgeable DeWitt father, who had then been traveling back and forth interviewing possible teachers. Aelita, after graduating from her father's school as valedictorian, continued her education in the prestigious University of Oxford, located in England. After receiving her degree with high honors, she moved back in with her parents in France and accepted an offer to teach at her father's academy, but after debuting as a teacher well into her first semester, Aelita decided to withdraw from her role, yearning to make the most of her youth by traveling to other countries. Jobs typically ranged from being a translator to a private tutor, which all produced good wages, considering they came from high-profile individuals—typically like that of politicians. Upon landing in Italy after being specially recommended as a translator for someone who was in immediate need of one, it was there she met Vincenzio Ferravia, the man who hired her to help communicate with visitors from overseas. While she would have rented an apartment for herself for the duration, Vincenzio insisted for her to stay at his estate, citing how important it was for her to be there when asked—especially since those same visitors were also guests to his household, and thus, if they needed something, her assistance was essential. Unbeknownst to her, the Ferravias were a frightening family of criminals; most translators in the Italian region were aware of what trouble could form from even affiliating themselves with a mob, thus the acquirement of the oblivious DeWitt. Aelita assumed she was working for an aspiring politician, and willingly filtered conversations from one language to the other. As she stayed and spent much of her time by Vincenzio's side, traveling and translating during business hours, and often being treated out for lunch and dinner dates off hours, she eventually came to realize that the man she worked for was unlike any other man she's met. She was falling in love—and she didn't like it. To put a stop to the unreasonable rapid beats in her chest every time she saw Vincenzio, and to avoid the hurt she knew she would succumb to if her job as a translator was to finish, Aelita quit. She formally gave a list of recommended translators in her place, and left with her packed bags. Off back to France she went. Weeks after moving back in with her parents, she resumed her teaching job at her father's facility, only to return home one day after work to see Vincenzio waiting outside her door, flowers in hand.

Has grasped Japanese, too. ■ a failure when it comes to most things music-related; tone-deaf, can't sing for beans, but tries to, anyway. Hums a weird tune whenever she cooks, to which Nevi occasionally finds himself humming when he's occupied with errands. ■ Likes the sound of the piano. Often asks for a worker skilled in the instrument to play for her as she cooks. ■ her favorite flowers are white irises, mostly because they are the flowers she first received when Vincenzio confessed to her; they were also the centerpieces in their wedding. ■ learned about Vincenzio's affiliation with the underground when he first appeared to her in France; he wanted to make sure she knew what she was getting into. Her parents disapproved, and had shunned her for some time until they realized they still wanted to be a part of her life. And their future grandson's... who they shamelessly doted on after birth.

Straightforward, doesn't like to beat around the bush, has a leveled head and is realistic. Believes in tradition and in the legacy his father and his grandfather created. Wants the best for his family, will do anything to protect them from enemies. Because of this, tends to overwork himself by making sure everything in the mafia operation goes smoothly, even if it means being away from home for long periods. Misunderstood. Doesn't lose cool, but if he does, watch out. [/style] [style=float: left; background-color: #000; font-family: ms gothic; font-size: 12px; color: #FFF; padding: 6px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left; margin-right: 5px;]BACKGROUND Little Vincenzio had always aspired to be like his father among his siblings; he was what one would call a daddy's boy and practically worshiped his father. The Ferravia mafia during those decades had stable footing in the southern region of Italy, and was powering its way up north, where territory struggles with other mobs became a common thorn to his father's side; he practically lived, breathed the mafia life because of how much of the issues took place in his home country, despite his father never really insisting for his son to walk the same path. In fact, his father never really did fancy the idea of Vincenzio inheriting the mafia, always worried that the "glamor" of the underground lifestyle wasn't something that should be sought for; instead, he encouraged the boy to focus on his studies, but never quite discouraging him if Vincenzio came into his workplace while he was polishing his collection of arsenal. It was a lax, but close relationship. Growing up into his teenage years, one could say his life was pretty peaceful as far as being in a mafia family went; his father would vanish to deal with business personally for some days at a time, but never for more than a week before he returned to a welcoming house. Vincenzio believed his father was untouchable—invincible, even—that he never once thought his father's life would get itself into peril. While there were times when his father would get wounded in a gun fight, and though they were moments Vincenzio got scared that his parent wouldn't be able to walk again, he always knew his father couldn't, wouldn't, be put down so easily. In his eyes, his father was going to live out until the very end. Having faith in that alone, he spent his days juggling school and teaching himself the ropes of the mafia, often asking close members to teach him techniques and things that'd better prepare him in the future if he were to join the mafia. Eventually, he met his first love in high school, but he was a timid boy, reluctant to make the first move in asking the one he had feelings for out. And so he remained that close friend for her, always ready to set time aside if she ever needed someone to talk to. When they graduated high school, even having attended the same university, Vincenzio gathered the will to finally confess to his long-time crush. Things were going well. His father accepted the idea of him succeeding the mafia once he finished university, and now, if Fate was kind enough, he would even have his feelings returned. Flowers in his grip, his first love in sight, he was ready—until she turned and introduced a boy she had recently met and started dating. Things only took a turn for the worse from that point on. An increase of aggression came from rivaling organizations who devised a plan to group up in retaliation against the growing Ferravia clan. Vincenzio's father, always the man who needed to be a part of the bloody action and with his men, was consumed with work and strategy meetings that days turned into weeks, and weeks into months when nothing would be heard from the fraternal figure. The ever-supporting mother of the family gradually grew sick with worry to the point where she wouldn't sleep for days, typically waiting by the door to wait for her husband—at least until her kids would urge her to rest. When the Ferravia father did return, it was the first time Vincenzio got into a heated argument with him. For leaving his mother struck with anxiety. For never writing a letter to say he was okay for all the time he was gone. When his father left once again, this time promising that everything will go back to normal after an upcoming showdown, he ended up breaking his promise. Because Vincenzio never saw him again, only having been told by a wounded member witness to said showdown that his father—the man he once thought was immortal—was killed in action. Months came, then a year. When it became apparent that his father really was gone, Vincenzio proclaimed himself as the mafia don. He thereby withdrew from university to pour his focus into the role, haunted by the absence of closure regarding his father and the regret of never being able to apologize after that fallout. With loyal followers under his leadership, he managed to pull the mafia out of turmoil from its loss of his father, and discovered the organizations responsible for his father's death. He stomped them, reclaiming a grand portion of the Italian underground, but soon learned that a foreign mafia was also related to the unfortunate events. In order to establish communications with them, he hired a translator by the name of Aelita DeWitt, who he housed for months while he negotiated with the foreigners using her linguistic skills. Nevertheless, he took interest in the pretty female translator, and before he realized the feelings he had had a name, she all too suddenly quit. Determined not to make the same mistake as he did with his first love (who by then was already married with that same guy from college) by waiting too long to confess, he went after her at once after digging around for her whereabouts. [/style] [style=float: left; background-color: #000; font-family: ms gothic; font-size: 12px; color: #FFF; padding: 6px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left; margin-right: 5px;]FUN FACTS ■ so hardcore about the family's Italian heritage that he made his son learn how to play the violin and piano since they were instruments that originated from Italy, supposedly. Imagine his disposition when an uncle introduced the guitar and Nevi immediately took a preference to said instrument. ■ sends flowers to his wife every other week with a meaning related to the flora whenever he's on a business trip; he constructs a poem as well. Quite the romantic. ■ adopted two German Shepherds from a friend, naming them after two of his close friends who had passed away in a mafia-related venture, contrary to the popular opinion of them being named after game characters. ■ is iffy about most of his son's companions, and regards them as bad influences for being an accessory to his mafia derailment. Doesn't like Kikue in particular after Nevi's stunt summers ago, and while he hasn't personally seen or met her, he just knows her as "that girl" his son found—ugh—renewed musical inspiration from. ■ the topic of his deceased father is a sore subject for him. Never really came into terms with how things ended, even after avenging him upon getting the mafia back together. ■ (and as a reminder to myself) will use the Mori Hotels as a base for most operations in the future, or currently does idk, and in return, helps the hotel chain expand in Europe. So bros4life say hollaaaaaaa. [/style][/style]

[atrb=vAlign,top] DESCRIPTION A man's man who prides himself in what he does, when he does it, how he does it. Passionate to the ways of manliness, he has been called "Bakanosuke" in high school for his meatheadedness and single-tracked mind. Does not like tears and will condemn tears by punishing the crier to eat vegetables or run laps. Not immune to women, however, and will abort mission if they were to cry in his presence. Though confident, strong-minded, and certainly rigid in his beliefs, has a charisma that sometimes leaks derpiness. People still call him Bakanosuke, actually, even at his workplace. Once a meathead always a meathead. ABOUT Kanosuke attended Ouran where he was actively chased by his future-wife, Chizuru; she was the manager to the kendo team whereas he helped lead the team as co-captain. Was also in the book club, too, but dude sort of just used that organization to take afternoon naps since the room the club was often held in was the library—which had the comfiest couches ever. Between you and me, he drooled on them ninety percent of the time. Originally, Kano was a successor to his father's kendo dojo, but after some bad investments made by his father, causing debt to pile up, the Yamase family had to sell the building. Thankfully, it was bought by a trusted family friend, but they still became dirt-poor. When Kanosuke's parents couldn't afford to waste what was left of their money on the crazy expensive tuition of Ouran, he was eventually forced to leave, soon after attending a public school; he took several odd jobs during that time in the hopes of buying back his family's dojo once he accumulated enough savings. After graduating high school, Kano managed to get a full ride to Ouran University on the basis he competed and win in kendo tournaments, an offer he couldn't refuse when he was approached by a generous sponsor. There in university, he met the self-proclaimed high school sweetheart, Chizuru, once again, and caught up with what they've missed in each other's lives over the one or two years Kanosuke transferred. Once the two graduated from university, Chizuru proposed to him. Which he flat-out rejected. The next day, however, he proposed to her, citing how it was supposed to be the man who was supposed to get on his knees and ask for a happy life of marriage. They got married, and Kanosuke—pretty much a celebrity in the kendo world—saved enough money to buy back his father's dojo, but ultimately decided to give up on his dream when his wife didn't want to inherit her family's publishing business, so in her stead, he succeeded it so she could pursue her dream of becoming an author.

[atrb=vAlign,top] DESCRIPTION Quirky and imaginative, seems to possess a ray of optimism that's too much for her petite body to handle; tends to be all over the place, making everybody else's business hers. Sees real life scenarios and actively converts it into her fictional world, and is pretty eccentric to the extent of being embarrassing. Aspires to be the "hip" mom, uses old school slang like groovy and bodacious whenever, if ever, Yuuhei has friends over. Sees the bright side in everything, can command tears to open like floodgates to get the men of the household to do her bidding. Devises plots to get Yuuhei more involved socially. Positively devious. ABOUT Chizuru, or Chizu as she would like to call herself, was the resident fangirl who ooed and awed at every sparkly guy that came her way, but one in particular had always caught her eye, and that was Bakanosuke (whose name she thought really was Bakanosuke for a time). She was that one weird chick who carried a cute pen with a bunny cap on top and a notebook where she jotted and doodled all her daydreams and fantasies and whatever. Together with Kano, most people agreed that they were the stupid pair (Bakachi & Bakano), even though they never really made the whole girlfriend-boyfriend thing official. Such an impression, though, was wholly the fault of Chizu, who made it painfully obvious that she had a fascination with the Yamase. Kanosuke, on the contrary, was clueless. Basically, their story is about how a devoted fangirl wounded up marrying her idol and jesus, too lazy to go on. THAT'S ESSENTIALLY THE WHOLE HISTORY: ADORING FAN GETS THE GUY OF HER DREAMS. THE END, K.

[atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 475px; padding: 5px, bTable] 立花 家族 THE TACHIBANA FAMILY There have been more prestigious Tachibana families in the history of Japan, of course. From samurai to leaders of military in World War 2, the name Tachibana deems itself worthy of respect. But, this is not a family descended from samurai or military generals. These are commoners who, somehow, had gotten lucky a few generations ago to gain the name and had a succession of sons. The kanji for the name Tachibana means 'standing flower' but no singular person of this family has been particularly similar to that definition. If they are handsome or beautiful, their personalities are revolting. If the Tachibana's countenance is pleasing, it's almost definite that their appearance is near heinous. Around middle-class is about what this particular Tachibana family has always been. Some near poverty and some just a bit more well-off but none have ever been anything near aristocratic or wealthy. Unfortunately, the middle son just before this generation, has broken this mold with just a bit of luck, like his ancestor. JIRO TACHIBANA (立花寿郎) Jiro grew up the son of a city-planning engineer, and not a very well paid engineer at that. His father had always stressed that family was more important than money. A cheap excuse to be a loaf and part-time inventor really, but being near the poverty line never struck the Tachibana as embarrassing. He was an easy going child, which still rings true for him well into his middle-age. He did, however, get a strong sense of pride in working and contributing to society from his mother. And as the subservient and docile creature that Jiro has become, it's held true for his love life that he's been happier doing what the women of his family know as best. He juggles his triple roles of father, husband and middle manager at a car manufacturing plant well. Standing at six feet seven inches, he's somewhat of an anomaly, and being affectionately nicknamed 'the gentle giant'. Jiro is not argumentative at all, and is very empathetic to social problems. Empathy does him the least bit of good when it comes to his role as father. He cannot understand this generation he is raising and along with his overall awkwardness around his own children, it's just not a great environment at home for him. He loves his children and his wife but the chaos and bickering sends him into trances. Because he's usually left out of the loop, he's also the last to know. Frequently, many decisions are made without his knowledge, which he is fine with since he's come to terms with the fact that the less he knows, the better for him. He is more like a father figurehead most times while his wife tyrannically micromanages everything. But, oh, does that man love his wife. He takes all orders from her with ease and fulfills her wishes, practically like a trained dog. Which does not bother him in the slightest, because 'Happy wife, Happy life.', or that's what he likes to tell himself anyway. His eldest son does not see it that way, but being a teenager, Jiro thinks that his son is just too immature to see things from multiple perspectives. Despite the daily grind he faces, choosing to keep his job even after winning a large amount of money from the lottery, he's still very attentive to his wife. She still makes time to greet him at the door upon his return and, despite distractions from the rest of the household, they take the time to converse about their day. With his giant oaf-like appearance, it's very easy to underrate him but he considers himself quite fortunate to have what he has. Much like his father, he tries to put his family first but with such a seemingly chaotic family, he tends to turn his brain off at the door. occupation: auto industry; middle management type age forty-seven likes reading, quiet time in his workshop, sunday outings, model cars, alcohol dislikes giving advice, PMS, bitter drinks, commuting, the Tokyo Giants ASAME TACHIBANA (立花朝雨) If there was ever a woman to know exactly what kind of hardships poverty brings, it would be Asame. As a child, she was forced to take care of her mother after her father left. Her mother, being unable to make it as an office lady, went to hostessing and eventually killing herself by contracting HIV from one of her clients. Asame learned very early on that there is no easy way out and prepared herself for the rough road ahead at just fourteen years old. She worked part-time jobs, lying about her age, and made due in modern Tokyo without electric and many winters without heat. With all this survival experience under her belt, she was getting ahead until she added falling in love to her plate. She met her future husband, Jiro Tachibana, by holding the door open for him on the train and they were inseperable ever since. Asame has always been one to give her opinion and decided things right away. With a clear head, the woman can easily conquer any task given to her with the right tools. She's not only capable, but persuasive too. Not exactly a smooth talker, but someone who never leaves a box unchecked, a perfectionist of sorts. She's quite liberal when it comes to social issues but a hellcat when it comes to finances. After a very lengthy courtship, about six years after their graduation from high school, Asame decided that she was ready to get married and become a wife. There was never anyone else in mind for the role of husband, except Jiro. And although it seems unromantic, she brought up the idea of marriage to Jiro and casually, they had a small ceremony and have been a pair ever since. Just two years after their ceremony and one year after their fortunate fate with the lottery, Asame announced while at a meal with the family that she was pregnant. Their family was started when Koichi was born. Two, four and six years later; three daughters were added to the Tachibana household, keeping right on track with Asame's schedule. Now that she had the right amount, she was now faced with raising them the right way, which was quite obviously, her way. A multi-tasker, by nature, this was easily accomplished because of Asame's stubborn pride. She never gave in which let her raise her daughters well enough, but her son was such a problem child. She will forever fight with her eldest. It's just a fact of life that she's grown accustomed to. Although, she's frequently at odds with him over a pride that mirrors her own, she will never put up with outsiders enforcing a standard on him. As quite the spartan mother, she taught her children to never be the dirt that someone walks on and to always go down fighting if you must go down at all. occupation: housewife age forty-seven likes order, cleanliness, respect, saving, small children dislikes gambling, gossip, lateness, bills

NOTEWORTHY (PROBABLY) + Jiro bought a pick three lottery ticket using Asame's birthday numbers which subsequently won around 56 billion yen or 560 million dollars. He was even scared to tell his wife that he'd won with the ticket, knowing that she'd disapprove. + When they moved into their new home a year ago, neighbor children thought the place was haunted and performed tests of courage. Asame fed into this gossip a bit, out of fun, and had the whole family play along by making odd sounds when small children came to the door. + Tachibana family members do not give each other much unneeded affection and the parents of the household certainly do not kiss in front of their children. Most of the time where hugs or kisses are in order for some families, a pat of the head or shoulder is offered in this family. + Asame's born family name was Watanabe before she married Jiro. Her last held job was as a corporate accountant in Jiro's company before they won the lottery. + Asame dislikes gambling but she chose to invest some of their money by buying pachinko parlors after weighing out many options for a family business. Since they gain the most revenue with very little licenses and manpower to pay, it was chosen over a convenience store chain.

MAISANO PARENTS

the maisano estate : the place where these two raised all four of their children, a nice place really ... tight knit security around but when you participate in not strictly legal activities like this family do then that isn't surprising; weapons may make you a few enemies. the family has close ties with the ferravia mafia with them being directly related through carlo's mother who was a ferravia before she married into the maisano family, a marriage for ties but she seemed pretty happy with her husband.

the house is by no stretch of the imagination small and it needs a highly trained set of staff to make sure everything looks okay, especially after akari's death as carlo's new wife isn't exactly 'domestic'. she generally likes looking at shoes and making sure things are clean rather than doing the cleaning herself but he's happy with her. some parts of the house are ... worse for wear though. splatters of paint that have yet to be fetched out of wallpapers from paint fights of years ago, back when everything was same in the household, well sane as it can be.

the family home is more a meeting place then a home anymore, with only the youngest brother living there, the three older siblings leaving the nest for various reasons.

CARLO MAISANO

GIMME YOUR GIMME YOUR GIMME YOUR ATTENTION BABY

AGE : late 40's/early 50's (mid 20's in the picture)
ETHNICITY : 100% italian
OCCUPATION : HE IS AN ARMS DEAAALER FITTING YOUUU ki'llstop
DESCRIPTION : younger years = little shit. in the present carlo is a lot calmer then he once was, he has a caring attitude towards all of his children and wants what is best for them despite the fact that it may not seem like it to them. he struggled bringing them up as a single father, he's not afraid to admit that and he feels like he didn't make as much time for them as he could have after his wife died. still they are all devoted to him and him to them. he's very passionate about the things he cares about such as painting which is something he took up in the last few years and rifles. boy he loves him some fire arms. he tries to always keep a smile on his face and has done ever since his kids found him crying; since then he made a promise to always try to be strong for them. he's also a very non confrontational guy, despite the business he's in ... he doesn't like arguments and tries to avoid them. stubborn. hates being alone.

BACKGROUND : carlo was the eldest of three brothers and when he was a child was a bit of a tearaway. he got kicked out of school once and seemed pretty proud of himself, he was always pretty proud of himself when he got into trouble almost like it was his way of asserting his status as the eldest; the one that would take over the reins from their father.

anyway, when he turned nineteen he went on a little business trip with his father over to japan and one night decided to go for a ride on his motorcycle, by pure chance this ride left him to passing a redhead and it was love at first sight. well ... it was for him anyway. for her, she came to the assumption that this guy was a grade A creeper when he told her that he thought she was pretty and offered a lift home ... and it resulted in pepper spray.

THIS DIDN'T DETER HIM THOUGH! the next day he followed her again and asked her out on a date and with the girl still thinking he was a moron told him no, and politely told him where to shove his offer of a date. this went on for a few days until the business deal was complete and carlo was told it was time to go home. except he managed to convince his father that he was going to strike up a deal with some more yakuza bosses and to leave him in japan for a few months by himself, so his father left him behind in japan and he set out to find out more about his mystery red headed girl.

so imagine her surprise when she found him sitting in her english literature lecture in the seat next to her's with a shit eating grin, calling her name across the hall. of course she sat in a different seat but he simply moved next to her and this went on for a good month before she decided that this guy wasn't a complete creep and he really did want to impress her (albeit with cheesy lines like "i think this was destiny" or "fate brought me here") but he did want to make a good impression. so she started to allow him to take her home on his little motorcycle and then a few weeks later his efforts paid off and he was informed that he could "pick her up at seven on Saturday if he wanted this date so much". and once he heard that he didn't let go of her, their first date to the little cafe on the corner was when she confessed she'd liked him for a while and their first kiss was on her doorstep that night.

six months later though he had to return to italy and told akari everything about himself and if she didn't want to be with him that was fine. but six months later she showed up on his doorstep with a basic understanding of italian and explained to him that she'd transfered over to an italian university and was going to get a job teaching japanese. then two years later they got married and lived happily until akari died.

AKARI MAISANO NEÉ SAKURAI

BABY PLEASE DON'T LOOK AWAY, WHEN THE MORNING BREAKS US

AGE : mid thirties when she died (early 20's in the picture)
ETHNICITY : 100% japanese
OCCUPATION : former japanese teacher
DESCRIPTION : stubborn was one way of descrbing her, she was also the calming influence of the parents when she was alive as carlo had a tendency to get over excited about stuff all the time. she was also the stricter of the two parents and most certainly didn't approve of the gifts her husband lavished his children with when he got back from business trips and told him that he would spoil them to much. she was also very much a friendly person, adjusting to having to meet and greet people when they came round for dinner as a result of being carlo's wife, she used to hold lavish parties too. a real people person, she lived up to her name of light, people saying she used to light up a room when she entered it.

BACKGROUND : akari was born into a rich and well respected japanese family and went up through the ouran schooling system as well as her older brother. she displayed a love for english so decided to take it for university. and one day when she was nineteen some asshole decides he's gonna follow her home and tells her that she's pretty. so being the strong independent woman that she is she pepper sprays him in the face and tells him where he can shove all this crap because she isn't interested.

and she thinks after a few weeks that this guy has got the message! that he's finally left her alone and that she'll be free of him at last but no. a few weeks later she turns up to her english class and this guy is sitting there waiting for her, and moves into every available seat next to the one that she is sitting in. and she gives up eventually because she cannot be bothered to deal with this guy anymore, but eventually she comes around to him and realizes he's actually a pretty funny guy. so when he offers to start giving her a lift home she accepts it, and one day tells him that if carlo wants to take her out then he can pick her up on saturday.

so they go out on a date and they've been going out for six months when he tells her everything about himself and that if she doesn't want to be with him then that's fine. and of course it was a big shock and for a moment she debated leaving him because its a big deal! however after a few months she tells her parents that she's leaving to go to italy to find carlo and her brother is less than impressed and tries to convince her to stay but six months later she packs her bags and she's on his front doorstep ready to be with him. she moves in with him and sets about finding a job.

EXTRA FACTS

► akari was attracted to carlo mainly for his sense of humor, she loved that about him.
► carlo gave up on the troublemaker attitude and got more serious after his brother got shot. he didn't want to get hurt or possibly die and leave akari without him and he ended up crying to her all night.
► when akari found out about her heart condition she didn't tell carlo straight away because she was terrified that he might leave her, or their relationship would break down. when she decided to tell him they made the decision to make the most of the time that they could have together.
► carlo always used to buy his wife presents and jewellery to make up for his absences, he kept them all to give to his daughter and then got so attached to them that he keeps all her jewellery in his study because he can't bear to get rid of them.
► his father knew that akari was the reason he wanted to stay behind in japan and faked surprise at his son coming home with fewer deals than expected before letting on that he knew about it all along.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=padding,0,true][atrb=vAlign,top][atrb=width,385,true] so, i made a thing... and really needed to think about aoife's parents, even though one is dead and other is currently missing. soooo yeah.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=padding,0,true][atrb=vAlign,top][atrb=width,420,true][atrb=style,border-left: #FF5333 10px solid; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px,bTable] MAITIU WHELAN was in his mid forties, though recently deceased. he was the mob boss of the largest Irish Mob branch that was just outside of Dublin. ■ a very well-known man throughout dublin, would frequent most bars in the city at least once a week. ■ took family to heart and made sure most were kept around him at all times. ■ hated when aoife went to japan, but understood she needed to spread her wings for her to mature. he only wished she would accept becoming his successor. ■ never spoke about her mother, and never told her they weren't married. he chose to keep that a secret, along with a few others he took to his grave.

[atrb=vAlign,top] DESCRIPTION maitiu was always the man to make sure everyone was safe, secure. but like every other irish man, he enjoyed his alcohol. he was very loving to his daughter and would have turned the world upside-down for her if she asked. the middle child to three, mait, as his brothers called him, was the only thing between the two of them, choosing to toss them both out if they didn't stop their crap. of course, it never came to that, and maitiu would have allowed them back after cooling down. he was very much into his work, along with keeping the younger ones safe, though there was always some sort of sadness within him if you looked closely. he died rather recently, which is still a tender spot within aoife. ABOUT maitiu whelan was just your average man. his father and grandfather were both in the sex and drug trade when he was younger, so he learned all about that as a child. but as he grew, and watched as both men where gunned down by other branches of the mob, he decided to take his own action. his upbringing was a bit solitary, being home-schooled with his brothers, their adoring mother as their general studies teacher, father and grandfather as their gun and knife teachers. but, after his parents were killed and left the three of them at a young age, mait decided to take action. he set up the whelan family fund, though underneath as a notorious gun trade. no, their family never traded people or drugs, simply guns. but they became a big name, spread to different countries. a mob war started between the "americans" that called themselves irish as well, though that was mostly based in the states. italy was the whelan family's biggest partner. on a trip to visit the stunning country, maitiu met the famous vincenzio ferravia, and at the time, his translating companion aelita. from the moment the two men met, it was a friendship worth a life-time, and an alliance was made. by the time maitiu made it to japan to meet with a few yakuza head about alliances, he has become known as a bit of a player with the ladies. it wasn't until he met with the hitobashi family that he found someone worth being loyal to. the young pink-haired daughter of the family, one he instantly fell in love with, but she wanted nothing to do with him. while discussions were made about deals that could be brought between the families, maitiu continued to attempt to woo the young hitobashi girl. in the end, maya was sent off to live with the whelan family for a time, and that was when mait made his move. it was really only one night that did it in, and while maya was falling for the charming red-head, she was someone that didn't want to be held down. nine months after that one night, aoife was born. as soon as aoife could nurse on her own, maya left in the middle of the night. maitiu, while crushed, could almost understand. they were never married, and in the end, he let her go. he raised aoife, while the help of his brothers' wives. especially when it came to the more womanly parts of growing up. he kept in contact with his in-laws, of course, sending aoife there when he could, even visiting himself. but, he never asked questions. he was a very kind father to aoife, but more a hard-ass to everyone around him, choosing to keep others at a distance. maya was the only one he actually allowed close to him, though after she left, he closed up slightly, leaving him vulnerable. of course, this vulnerability left him with more enemies then he wanted. his enemies knew right where to shot, and one appearance gone wrong, and maithiu's life was taken from him. he survived long enough to see aoife before his life gave out. only in his early forties, he left his business to his daughters, though while she's still in school, his brothers are in charge.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=padding,0,true][atrb=vAlign,top][atrb=width,420,true][atrb=style,border-left: #CD8C95 10px solid; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px,bTable] MAYA HITOBASHI is in her mid-forties, though she still looks like she's in her mid-thirties. works as a museum curator in the japanese country-side and hates anything that has to do with irish culture ■ she really did want to stick around to raise aoife, but chose to leave instead, due to her desires else-where. she hated being couped up with a bunch of drunks ■ keeps tabs on aoife through her parents, makes sure she isn't causing any sort of trouble. ■ attended maitiu's funeral service, but in disguise. in truth, she really loved him, just couldn't settle down with someone involved in that business.

[atrb=vAlign,top] DESCRIPTION quiet and gentle, maya was someone you never really noticed without looking too hard. she normally stood off to the shadows, not wanting to be seen most of the time. she was the only daughter out of five children of the hitobashi family, and also the youngest. while she had nothing to do with the family business, it was also a fact that her parents were just waiting for the right person to marry her off to. her true passion, though, was japanese history. and that is where she currently resides, hidden away where no one can find her. ABOUT she was that girl that most people didn't realize was there. all through her youth and schooling. yes, she was beautiful. but she was quiet, and stood off to the side. all though school, many suitors came and went. and wasn't until a certain red-head came into the picture that maya felt a slight fluttering. she really shouldn't have and had said on a few occasions "no" to him. but he still came after her, and it was almost flattering. that is, until her parents shipped her off with him. it was a mistake, really. she'd never wanted that. never wanted to fall in love. her parents always thought it meant strength to fall in love. maya always thought the opposite, but she found herself falling for that charming accent, even if he did smell like alcohol a lot of the time. when she found out she was pregnant, she couldn't decide if she was excited or depressed. having a child, his child, would be amazing, yet terrifying. they were married, and she had no desire to. so where was the child left? nine months later, and she had her choice, the hardest choice she would ever make, leaving her child and the one man she knew she'd always love. but it would be better, for her, for their child. as soon as the young one, aoife was her name, could live on her own, she vanished into the night, something she was quite good at. and without a second glance, she was gone. it took aoife until she was ten to finally ask seriously about maya, the letters she got from her own parents always brought tears to her eyes. but no matter what she wanted, she could never go back, never bring herself into that life. she tucked herself into the mountains, where no one would find her unless they looked hard enough. at one point, on a visit to the mountains, she had seen her daughter, and her red-haired father. but only from a distance. later that night, though, they met. a fight between them broke out, and ended in harsh words. maya never could return kind words to him before his death, and while she knew there was nothing she could do, there was still an ache in her chest over that fact. of course, she still keeps tabs on aoife through her own parents, and knows that her daughter's in japan at the moment. while she wishes to reach out, she knows it would only hurt her daughter to know the real reason why she left. for now, maya's keeping to the shadows and only watching as she grows into a young adult.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=style, width: 300px; height: 400px; overflow: auto; background-color: white] PERSONALITY katsuo to say the least is a rather quiet soul. he does not talk much and believes action speaks louder than words. he has trouble when it comes to connecting to people due to the fact that he was raised in an environment to only kill. however because of his experience in middle school, he has learn to socialize if only somewhat. he finds that talking too much can get tiring. although he is usually a busy man because of his job of being the yakuza leader, in truth katsuo did not want to be the leader of the tsukami gang. however because he does not want them to stray back to their original and perhaps true nature, he takes charge of the clan. this leads him to be busy and unable to spend time with his family to which he deeply regrets. he does not see himself as a father to his children nor a husband to his wife. and ironic as it is, the man has grown to hate fighting. yet he forces himself to fight because that is what is required of him. in a sense one can say that he is self-sacrificing. however in battle his old instinct and personality takes over making him cruel and sadistic taking his time in killing people. HISTORY katsuo was born in the tsukami family as their only heir. he does not have much memories of his parents due to the fact that they were killed in a car accident. because of that he became an orphan at the age of four. being far too young to lead the clan, his grandfather took over the position of being head once again and also was the one that was in charge of katsuo's upbringing. the tsukamis back then were not like the tsukamis now, they were much more vicious taking jobs dealing with drugs, theft and even murder. as a young kid instead of being taught words or how to ride a bike, he was taught how to kill. the best guns for assassination, how to wield a knife, martial arts and most of all, how to kill. it started with small animals but by the age of seven he killed the first human. unlike other kids he was not sent to school, the tsukami family did not bother to teach him any school subject as it was not necessary. instead he would usually go with his grandfather to many countries to observe how he does business. because of this he was raised to see the crueler side of people and came to accept it as something normal. during these travels he met ferravia vincenzio. that was until middle school when they realized that as he wast he heir, he will need to have some form of education. it was there that he met rikita mizuki, nakamura akira and shiro tsuneo. the first two being the first two people he had ever met that did not have connections to the underground world. nakamura akira at first confused him due to how close the man acts. it was also through the male that he learned a lot of things about people in general such as how to talk to them akira was the first to tell him not to get into fights. when he first met rikita mizuki however, he did not like her. in fact one can even say he detested her because she was weak. she had a weak body and yet she was alive. he also knew of how people bullied her for not being rich as it seems that she got in through help of another family. one day when he saw her get bullied again, he could not stand it anymore and had attacked the ones that bullied her. due to that he was sent to detention and overseen by akira. the next day the girl had made him lunch as a thank you but also told him not to fight. she then started to tutor him when she realized how behind he was with his schoolwork. eventually he grew protective of her and even learned to love her. this causes many trouble for akira such as the time he picked flowers from the schoolyard for her. near the end of his last year in middle school, he started to have doubts toward how his family acts. the idea that perhaps the strong does not rule supreme but he knew that his grandfather would never believe in such things. and that was when he started to make plans with the ferravia family and the shiros as well. however the plan was very slow moving. it was not until he was seventeen did the plan come to fruition. he was able to convince his grandfather to go to a remote location due to the fact he was being targeted by another family unbeknownst to the man, it was a hitman from the ferravia family. it was in that remote location that he killed his grandfather along with the rest of the elders of the tsukami family. however the story simply went that katsuo was the lone survivor of an attack. after that he had thought about leaving the underground family behind him and was even ready to propose to mizuki. however he realized that his family knew practically nothing outside of how to fight. it was what they were raised to do as well as it being in their blood. even worse was the realization that even without him, they can simply have a new head and the cycle would continue again. and so despite being tired of the underground world, he stepped in as the leader of the tsukami faciton at the age of seventeen. there were many who had opposed him and regrettably, he killed them. although even in the family knew or at least had a feeling that katsuo was the one that killed those who opposed him along with their grandfather, none were willing to speak out. a year later when mizuki graduated, katsuo proposed to her. even though she knew of him being a yakuza she did not know of the tsukami's dark past. he never dare tell it to her but sh seems to have picked up some of his problems. she also seems to be fine that he could not always be with her and the fact that her life is endangered by him. he also made an alliance with the shiros, koizumis and ferravias. however he lost contact with akira and only hear about the man through the news. he also set out and reformed the tsukami gang to how it is today. eventually he would have three kids, yoite, miyuki and shuurin. he would also take in the daughter of his right hand man, yamaguchi mako who he treats as his own daughter and gave her the chance to enter ouran. his wife would also bring in suzuno as well. unlike many of his cousins, he did not wish for his children to ever enter the yazkua world. it was why he had been more than happy to leave miyuki's life alone and to make sure shuurin had the best care. a part of him had even been glad the boy was born with a weak body. however yoite was a different story as the boy wanted to take over the tsukami clan and it seems some of the family also liked the idea because of the boy's love for violence. at first he simply thought it was something he would grow out of but after losing his eye in middle school, katsuo had decided otherwise. he had banned yoite from entering into yakuza fights and put his son in the dark forcing him to live a relatively normal life. he also talked to the shiros to allow to make a cover for the tsukamis of being a business family so that yoite would not be placed in the d-rank with the other yakuza kids. he could only hope that over the years, yoite would see that unlike his father, the boy could become something that would not lead him to the underground world. unfortunately because he did not allow yoite to enter the yakuza world for the time being, the time he had to spend with his son had even lessened. however he simply accepted the fact that he was a horrible father long ago and lived with it telling himself as long as his son turned out better than him, it was alright. during a new year festival at the age of forty-five, he was sent with a threat. it was nothing new as he was used to threats. however because he was with his family, he did not wish to endanger them and had left early. he was ready to deal with another fight but during the fight, makoto had jumped into aid him. wanting to protect the girl, he ended up sacrificing his life for her. later on yoite would become the next head of the tsukami clan against his hopes. TRIVIAS • loves spicy food • knows how to use many weapons ranging from hand guns, to sniper riffles to knives • actually did not even know how to spell his own name until he was ten • was his grandfather's bodyguard before becoming the leader of the tsukgami gang • only has a middle school education

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=style, width: 300px; height: 400px; overflow: auto; background-color: white] PERSONALITY mizuki at first glance some might say is rather ignorant. she does not seem to think much about those around her and is content with living a simple life. however in truth she is quite perceptive and very good at picking things up. she simply does not show it because she is not pushy and is patient enough to wait for the person to wish to talk to her. however there are times where she will step in regardless of how they feel such as whenever yoite and shinkuto get into a fight. she is a down to earth woman who wants nothing more than for her family to be happy. this is why she is willing to help around in the house instead of simply doing nothing. she is also very intelligent having once been a scholarship student of the high school division of ouran. a very accepting person, she is willing to make friends with anyone. however because of this she can also be gullible or so it would seem. in truth she would know when someone is using her but she is more than happy to be used if it means she can help people. that does not mean that it does not hurt her though. she just tries her best not to think of it. mizuki also is someone far from being perfect. although she is kind and puts others before herself, it is because she could not deal with her own problems. in fact she is something of a coward. she does not think of herself because she wants to help people but rather she does not wish to think of her own situations at times. she does not wish to think of the mistakes that she has made or how she could never help the man that she loved. it is also why she focuses on others so that they do not make the same mistakes as her. HISTORY tsukami mizuki or rather rikita mizuki was born in a normal family. her father had owned a noddle shop to which she would love to help out when she was a kid. as a child she also had a lot of energy that it was hard to believe the girl was actually sick. she was born with a weak body but it had never got her down and as she grew up, her body became stronger. as a young child, she was able to learn things at a faster rate than those around her and because of that people came to her for help quite often to which she gladly agreed. in her mind she had even made a lot of friends from it but however as smart as the girl was, she was far from perfect. there were things that she would get wrong and her friends would get mad at her for it. they also didn't always invite her out with them but she didn't mind it. at least not at first but eventually she figured out that they had only used her so they could have good grades to show their parents. never would they tell their parents that mizuki had helped them. she would also learn that people did not like her because they considered her to have a 'boring' personality. she was far too agreeing with people and because of her weak body, she couldn't play games with them as long. one day near the end of middle school, mizuki met a boy who needed help on his homework. being taught to help others, she had helped him and for the first time was rewarded. the boy saw how smart she was and decided to have her enroll in the middle school campus in ouran. it was there that she met her friends and the love of her life, tsukami katsuo. at first though he did not seem to be fond of her and she was scared of the man. she had been glad that they were not in the same class despite being in the same year. however, she also had other problems to worry about such as some of the students that bullied her although not all bullied her as some were nice just to use her. she knew they used her but would smile nonetheless thinking as long as she was helpful than she can be worth something despite her weak body. but she also was able to make a few real friends as well such as nakamura akira, his current girlfriend at the time, shiro tsuneo and lastly was tsukami katsuo. their friendship did not start until one day when she was being bullied, he had stepped in to save her. he told her that he felt like getting into a fight the next day. however she saw through him and simply told him that fighting was bad along with making him lunch. she also started to spend lunch time with him despite some telling her not to. it was then she learned that he had difficulty with his academics and so she decided to help him out in return. throughout the years she started to become very fond of him and he was the first relationship outside of the family that reciprocated her actions. mizuki would help him study and he would make sure others don't bully her. when people use her, he would help her but always demanded her cooking afterward to which she had gladly agreed. after middle school, she enrolled into high school as a scholarship student. katsuo however, dropped out of school and went on many yakuza businesses. they still kept in contact when they can as she would write letters to him. he would also write back to her although they would be short, she still kept all of them. during her high school life, she was able to make more friends because she had some more confidence in herself thanks to those she met in ouran. by the end of high school, katsuo proposed to her and she had accepted. by the time she married him, he was already the head of the tsukami gang. the two could not spend too much time together because katsuo would usually be busy with work but she was happy with the time they did spend together. however, she would also notice how tired he is and although she would want to ask him if something was troubling him, she never did. she thought it would had been better to wait but eventually when he didn't tell her, she suggested for him to write in a journal to help clear his mind. two would would later on have three kids, yoite, shuurin and miyuki. the two also took in mako and suzuno who she treats as her own kids. she also tried her best to keep in contact with those in her high school to the best of her ability but some were lost such as nakamura akira. she would not hear anything personal from him nor about him until the day yoite brought home a boy named nakamura shinkuto. seeing the boy, she instantly recognized his hair to being similar to akira's and was happy to see the sons of akira and katsuo together. although they would usually argue, she knew that they had a good - albeit a strange - bond. she would also at times play with momoko who was shinkuto's sister. as time went on, mizuki lived her life in the tsukami household helping out the maids such as harada kotone who she was quite close to. but whenever she saw her husband..she could not help but notice how tired he would look. and when she wanted to ask him...she would always get interrupted because of his job. there was a moment in time to which mizuki wondered if her husband loved her. yes, she had jealousy towards her in laws and the rest of the tsukami gang who spend a lot of time with her husband. one day the woman had asked katsuo if he loved her to which he could not answer. instead he merely stated that if she regretted marrying him, then she can leave. such words hurt her and she for once had been glad that he was busy. the next time they got to see each other was at the new year festival but she was not sure of what to say to him. perhaps it was because a part of her was bitter but she had done well enough to hide it from her children. on that night she had planned to ask him one last time if he loved her before decided to leave or not. however in the end, katsuo met an early demise and she never got to ask him. during his funeral, she had remained strong and smiled thanking people for their support. never did she cry because she knew that katsuo at first did not like her for being weak. however, her body did get worse especially at the stress of her son who had ran away from home. she had done her best to hide it though and simply thought about how her children must feel to avoid her own pain. the day she did cry after katsuo's death was the day she was cleaning his room. she had found the journal he wrote and learned of how he truly felt about his family. how he had acted strong and what he fought for. as she went through, she also learned that he never stopped thinking about her and truly did love her. when she got to the day she asked him if he loved her, she learned that he felt he had no place to say 'yes' because he cannot provide her the contact a husband should be able to. and that he was conflicted on letting her go or not. after finally receiving her answer although it was too late, she kept the journal close to her. also learning about the family's past and secret, she strangely did not feel fear. because she knew that even though there were tsukamis who were violent, not all of them were. and so she now watches over her son hoping that he would one day find the path that will lead a happy ending not only for himself but also the rest of the tsukamis. TRIVIAS • is a very good cook • was once fought over by yoite and shinkuto. the battle still somewhat continues • born with a weak body • the bow she wear was the first present katsuo gave to her

[kiwii ღ]

hi. so like i'm not going to go into very much depth at all because i'm a lazy fucker, along with the fact that i haVE SO MANY PARENTS TO GO OVER (minus hideki's, naoto's, and desiree's, since i don't have many ideas for them and i kinda need to discuss that with the players of their siblings, right-). so yeah.

basically just personalities and brief, brief backgrounds and whatever else i feel is absolutely necessary to bring up will be here- I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE VERY MUCH MUSE FOR PARENTS, UNLIKE CERTAIN PEOPLE, THOUGH I GUess i've been meaning to shed some light on what they're like and describe in a bit more detail how they've impacted the lives of my actual characters- idfk. feel free to skip over me, k.

also yes, allow me to take the time to correct all familial errors i have made in the past thANK YOU. i honestly hate thinking of occupations though so those will typically remain a mystery until i have an epiphany of some kind.

ITOKAWA RITTOU

▆ is toshiko's biological father. he is currently in his mid thirties (image depicts him in his mid twenties or so) and he is entirely japanese.

AMADA NIINA

▆ is toshiko's biological mother. she is in her mid-late thirties (image shows her in about her mid twenties) and she is japanese.

ETCETERA

I have it in my head that these two resemble and/or represent both sides of Toshiko's current personality, in a way, simply because I'm a lover of irony. In regards to present behavior, I wouldn't say their similarities to Toshiko are as prominent at all, but when the two had met in high school and fallen for one another in their teenage years, they both had this sort of "tsun and dere" relationship thing going on; Rittou was immensely hostile and in denial about practically everything, whereas Niina was this friendly, hyperactive little ball of sunshine. So it's almost as though Toshiko inherited their personalities when she breached the same age range, somehow, taking Rittou's ill temper and condescendingness, as well as Niina's childishness and naivety. But not really, since that's not necessarily plausible, nor is it likely that they 'rubbed off' on her in any way, seeing as she's only recently met her actual father and has yet to meet her mother even still.

Rittou, having been the selfish little asshole that he was in his early years, was entirely to blame for a lot of Niina's current misery, which had completely reshaped her and knocked her out of her previous, oblivious-to-the-world state, around the age of eighteen—because that was when she had the (accidental) baby, and was so foolish as to believe Rittou would willingly raise it with her. Toshiko's parents weren't at all on the wealthy side of things—in fact, lower-middle class at best—which was probably another thing that sent both parents into a panic, and had Rittou cutting off all ties he had with the 'crazy' girl. They'd made plans to marry and to live with each other, sure, and never originally expected anything to get in the way of "them," but the pressure of being a father was something that threw Rittou off entirely. And with that, Niina was left a single, eighteen-year-old, heartbroken mother, the worst part being that her own family hadn't ever been the supportive type either.

Given her misfortunate conditions, and her lack of a will to put any child of hers through a life of barely (if even) managing to get by under a seemingly worthless, single parent, Niina looked to adoption as a last resort. Much as it killed her to have to give away her very own daughter, she knew to suspect that she wasn't ready, nor was she capable of overcoming the horrible judgment of other people in her life.

As a result of this, Niina's once-overwhelming spirit is crushed, turning her into quite the pessimist, and she's still struggling to get by without the support of any loving husband or family, but has long since convinced herself that she did the right thing.

Rittou, on the other hand, suffers from regret of his own decision, and has made several attempts to get into contact with both Niina and their daughter over the years, having succeeded multiple times with the former, and only once with Toshiko thus far. It's not exactly top-priority for him, but he still feels bad, and that means something at least, right?

YUZURU ETTORE

▆ is toshiko's adoptive father. he is in his early forties (image depicts him in his late twenties) and he is, despite the surname, italian.

YUZURU HAYAKO

▆ is toshiko's adoptive mother. she is currently in her late thirties (image depicts her in her late twenties) and she is wholly japanese.

ETCETERA

While Hayako had been the first of the two to present the idea of adopting, Ettore had been in full support of it; he'd had the same initial thought process, but wasn't willing to force his beliefs onto Hayako if ever she wanted to give birth instead. It seemed as though she'd caught on anyway, having familiarized herself with her recently-wed husband's background—Ettore himself had been a child raised within the confinements of an adoption agency, until being taken in by a loving pair practically as soon as he turned thirteen years old. He wouldn't say his life had been "miserable" up until that point, but it was definitely fulfilling to be given a family of his own for once, and he decided that being without one was not the sort of fate he wanted for a child to have if he found himself fully capable of adopting them on his own accord.

Having been of pure Italian descent, Ettore was given the opportunity to keep his birth name in tact, which he did, but in making their selection of who to adopt for themselves at the agency, Hayako and Ettore came to find that their potential daughter was with no set-in-stone label. And so, they figured they may as well give her one of their own preference, thus taking the three-year-old into their possession and ridding her of an unfavorable childhood. It was a fortunate first few years for them; their daughter, Toshiko, was of wealthy upbringing, given that Ettore fitted himself into the sort of lifestyle, upon reaching certain success in founding a widely-used delivery services company. Hayako was lucky enough to take up the position of his college sweetheart earlier on, and later on was subjected to a proposal some couple of years after their graduation, to which she agreed wholeheartedly.

The two are both the relatively saintly type, Ettore being none too strict nor cold, and Hayako being about as kind-hearted and loving as one can be. They're almost sickly sweet in some cases, and at times, that sort of easy-going and delicate attitude proves to be a fault of theirs. For instance, when Toshiko's equally-as-friendly demeanor transitioned to one of hostility towards people of the male gender, the mother-father duo's reaction involved them being perhaps far too accepting of it. With this encouragement, such behavior persisted and while Ettore was happy to see that Toshiko hadn't taken out any of this 'bitterness' on him, he and Hayako seem practically oblivious to the fact that their daughter had earned herself quite the negative reputation amidst her peers, because of how poorly she treated the better majority of them.

Nonetheless, they love their daughter, and intend to maintain a very close relationship between each other. So far, they're doing rather well, but at the same time, their 'acceptingness' of Toshiko is often interpreted as patronizing. Almost as if they treat her with such care because they think she's disabled in some way - granted her quirky behavior, perhaps it is understandable. Even so, it's this sort of unfair treatment that has recently been distancing them from their daughter, with Toshiko being under the impression that they "don't understand her." Should they find out about this, they'd be heartbroken, of course, considering the concept of family means a lot to them.

[kiwii ღ]

i've been needing to explain a couple things about these two ok

MOCHIZUKI MASATO

▆ is fuyumi's biological father. he is in his late forties (image shows him in his mid twenties) and is half-russian, half-japanese.

MOCHIZUKI UMEKO

▆ is fuyumi's biological mother. she is currently in her late forties (image depicts her in her mid twenties) and she is of japanese descent.

ETCETERA

It was in their second year of high school that the two had been strung up into an arranged marriage with one another, which was set up by either pair of elitist and nigh-on demanding parents. Masato hadn't always been the most enthusiastic about any of it; all the overwhelming expectations and the set-in-stone futuristics which supposedly determined all of what he was meant to do with his life. His parents would consistently tug at his strings as though he were their puppet, and while it may have not appeared likely (given his unexpressive nature and apparent lack of a will power), he intended to break free of what plans they had for him eventually: just as soon as he graduated high school, he told himself, at which point he would move out and put himself on his own path, because he was tired of having to live up to expectations.

That had originally been his plan, of course, up until he was thrown into association with the single woman who was to dominate all of whatever good intentions he had left for the rest of his life. Umeko was cold-hearted, sadistic, and so unbelievably controlling—a carbon copy of Masato's own mother, but worse and just that much more abrasive. Even so, she was so very capable of presenting herself as being a level-headed and well-mannered lady around most other people. When the two of them were alone, however—which was common for the both of them, considering they were then practically attached at the hip with the addition of two wedding rings—she'd reveal her 'true self', equipped with a most distasteful and insensitive nature.

With Masato hardly possessing much of a back bone to start with, Umeko's excessively assertive behavior was more than enough to blow him into constant submission, and to this day, even after years and years of putting up with it, he hasn't rendered himself capable of freeing himself from her reign. They've been married some thirty years by this point, and in that time have managed a single, only child: Fuyumi, their daughter, who has proved multiple times to be fairly intimidated by Masato specifically. Ironic, no doubt.

As it turns out, Umeko has since come to terms with her own misery in part with the marriage that neither one of them wanted in the first place. She's developed more of an aloofness over the years, and while still in complete control over how Masato runs his life, she's drastically distanced herself from both husband and daughter nonetheless. As a result, she's barely claimed much of a place in the home, especially considering she leaves a majority of the necessary housework to hired workers rather than doing it herself (unlike most standardized mothers/housewives). Even so, she's scared of leaving the life her own two parents have set up for her, given that she was also raised in such a way that meant she wasn't allowed to decide her own fate. Present bitterness still stems from this, and has even led her to influence Masato to be one in the same: a parent who'd perhaps set the bar too high for their daughter, but would enforce potential regardless of that.

It is due to Masato's lacking in indomitability that he's unable to shape himself any differently than how Umeko wants him to turn out, and that is successful and focused and so much like her. While he's not necessarily as hostile as she occasionally is, he's readily conformed to whatever coldness she was aiming for. Although, based off my perspective of him, I'd say it all amounts to social awkwardness, in a way—ever since he'd been a kid, Masato was always particularly apathetic, and even more so now, despite him not wanting to give off such a dull and unapproachable air. With Fuyumi, it's like he doesn't want to come off as scary and uncaring towards her, but in all his time of being with Umeko, he doesn't fully recognize what it's like to be affectionate, and/or loving in any such way. In addition, neither parent had received such warm treatment from their own mother or father, so with that upbringing, they know not of how to correctly go about parenting—just how to be strict with their kid, really, though Umeko's the only one willingly acting on that.

[RIMYCHU ♥]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style,width: 420px;]So, obviously I am not going to do Clear's current parents as you gais know them well. But, like if you threaded with Ren, Clear or Eli you'd probably kept hearing the name NERO around a lot. So, here he is. And then her mother but no one actually cares about her /shot. AMATSUKI NERO ❝and when the daylight comes, I'll have to go. so tonight I am going to hold you so close. ❞ STATUS deceased GENDER male AGE late twenties RELATION clear's biological father ETHNICITY japanese SPOUSE never married JOB full-time yakuza POSITION previous right-hand of the kazehaya gang ABOUT The best way to describe Amatsuki Nero was the medium between Ramsey Eli and Dasoku Ren. He was cool and level headed, the one that basically kept everyone together. The man was someone you'd go to for advise. As well as someone you can trust and count on. He was truly a people's man . He adored the night life, the thrill of being single. When it came down to the Kazehaya members he was also one of the only calm ones around. Much less to say, Amatsuki Nero was looked up by many figures due to his personality. However, he can be easily detached to things. Nero has a strong sense of responsibility and independence. He was not a family person and sometimes felt awkward around his own daughter due to him never being around to spend time with her. Despite it all, he's quite the happy, cheerful guy. The one always found with a smile or grin on his face, just like his daughter. BACKGROUND Nero was born in a lower class family, an only child. He always hung around the thugs around his neighborhood when he was young and soon adjusted to the life of crime that they lived. His parents tired themselves out working that his father was diagnosed with cancer when Nero was in middle school. Nero left after middle school, not caring much for education due to his neighborhood and the people he hang around with. He got himself a job at a fast-food shop. One night, on one of his late night shifts while he was throwing away garbage he saw a gang fight. However, not finding it fair, between five men, he had interferred, fighting along side with the other man. The other man was a Kazehaya gang member and from looking at Nero's moves and so on, he introduced him to Eli's father, the kazehaya gang's leader at that time. With that he started out his job, at the age of fifteen as a full-time yakuza and kazehaya gang member. He distant himself from his parents, not wanting to see his fragile dad die. The male moved out to live with a couple of other gang members, rooming together in a small apartment a year later after he joined. He never went back to see his parents. He worked his way up the ranks of the yakuzas, being more clever than most of the kazehaya members. He was given the position of the right-hand at the young age of twenty when the right-hand before him had retired. With much freedom and his love for the night-life of Tokyo and with nothing else to spend his money on, he visited a lot of clubs and hostess clubs with his other buddies. That was where he had met Himeko Chinatsu, a younger hostess who worked at the clubs. You could say she was his favorite hostess but, of course Nero never felt anything romantic for her like she never felt the same for him. However, one unfortunate night when they had went home together, accidents happen and Chinatsu was pregnant with Clear. Both of them agreed to abort the baby due to a million reasons from not being interested in settling down, not romantically interested in one another and the biggest factor: their occupations. A yakuza and a hostess weren't the best jobs for a parent, after all. However, at the clinic where they waited for their appointment, looking at the other patients, their babies or women crying after the abortion, he protested against the agreement. A deal was made between them that Chinatsu would give birth to Clear and that he would take care of her. Once Clear was born, Nero got his own apartment and became a single father. But, he couldn't throw away his Yakuza life and when Clear had grown up more, the less time he would spend with her due to his job. On one rainy day, as you can read in chapter one of this beautiful fic here (as well as others if you know vy's storage site) due to Eli getting in trouble, Nero the older, responsible, out of the three had jumped in to help him out like he would always. However, much to his luck, Nero was killed in the process. OTHER FACTS ▬ Nero was a precious friend to eli & ren. ▬ He was one of the few Kazehaya members Ren talked to. ▬ He was most likely aromantic. ▬ His hair color is the medium tone between Eli and Ren? I found that funny k. ▬ The only gift Clear remembers that he gave her was a bunny stuffed animal. It is also her favorite stuff animal despite it being old and somewhat torn from being with her for so long.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style,width: 420px;] HONDA CHINATSU ❝now you're just somebody that I used to know. ❞ STATUS alive GENDER female AGE early thirties RELATION clear's biological mother ETHNICITY japanese SPOUSE married (unknown) JOB hostess(or)house-wife POSITION n/a ABOUT Chinatsu is quite the charming woman. She was the heart-throb back when she was in highschool and an only fitting personality trait for a ex-hostess like herself. She's ambitious. She knows what she wants and when she wants it, she'll do her best to take it. However, she is quite selfish growing up independently, she learned to only care about herself. She also doesn't have a lot of friends as she grew up in an environment where you had to back-stab your 'friend' to get where you want or what you want. It's every girl for herself. BACKGROUND Chinatsu was born in a middle class family. Both her parents were busy with their office jobs leaving her room to explore and do as she please. She had three other siblings, a little brother and two older sisters. However, they aren't as close to each other as they had a big age-gap between one another. The closest to her was her middle sister who was two years older than her. Chinatsu went to a public school, like everyone else. She wasn't the smartest in her class as she never took the time to study. She was much interested in things that girls her age was, boys, make up, fashion and so on. She was known to be one of the popular girls of her school, the list of boyfriends she had was barely countable and the men that confessed to her wasn't even countable anymore. During her second year of highschool, she was scouted to be a model. Automatically taking it, as she didn't think about school anyways, she went to the model industry and so on. However even with a small figure like herself she was still forced to lose weight. Because of her that she had an eating disorder, resulting her in fainting on stage on a big show and that was the end of her modelling career. However, by that time she was already around twenty. Her parents didn't agree with her modelling career in the first place so she could not go back crying to them, she had too much of a pride to. She didn't want to go back to school either. One day while she was at a bar someone gave her a business card for a club, a hostess club. She took up the offer, seeming as she was jobless and had been surviving off the money she had saved up from her short modelling career. She was hired as a hostess and once again with her charm and beauty, was popular. It was also less stressful than the modelling job. That was where she met Amatsuki Nero. He was a year or two younger than her but, age didn't quite matter when it came to hosting. They found each other a good pair and sometimes even went out together to bars and other clubs as friends. Then she was pregnant with a baby girl. Her first choice was to get an abortion, seeming as it wouldn't work out for her hostess job and she hadn't even thought of marriage or motherhood. She found herself too young to, at that time. Nero, however, convinced her not to abort Clear promising her that he'd take full responsibility. Chinatsu agreed and took a year's break from the hostess club to give birth to Clear before going back. She hadn't ever seen Clear again since she was a baby in her hands. Chinatsu had continued her daily life but, had never seen Clear or Nero again. It was to her regret that she never went to see her daughter but, she couldn't make herself do so, scared that Nero won't let her as they had a deal. He kept his bargain and she should keep her's. A few years later, Chinatsu married a wealthy man and was blessed with a baby boy. However, her husband died in a car crash. It was true that she had married the man for his money, a good time to settled down. But, her mother-in-law knowing of her plan and as well as her husband, so it seemed, she only got a small amount of his wealth. It then came to word that Nero had died in a gang fight. A fitting death for a yakuza like himself. And Chinatsu being Clear's mother saw it as a good time to come into her life. Plus, at that time she could use the money that Nero had left for their daughter. He was a high-rank Yakuza so clearly well-paid. But, unfortunately the yakuza leader and his left hand was fighting for her custody as well. Unfortunately, Chinatsu had lost the custody battle. A few years later, Chinatsu, still being the charming beautiful woman that she was, was able to find another wealthy spouse and has been living her life well since then. OTHER FACTS ▬ She still isn't the motherly type. ▬ Chinatsu had developed some feelings for Nero during the year she was pregnant with Clear but, debated against it as he wasn't wealthy enough for her future. ▬ Chinatsu has still never seen Clear. ▬ She isn't fond of Eli or Ren for winning the custody battle over her. ▬ Clear's looks resemble her mother more than her father, with her brown eyes and hair.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style,width: 210px;] █ He likes to go hunting for fun. He brings home the dead animal for his wife to paint. █ He illegally has a shit load of weapons such as various amount types of guns in his house. It's his own little secret collection. He likes guns. █ Sin's favorite lighter was given by him for his seventeenth birthday. █ Kizuato's name means 'scar'. █ he looked almost identical to sin in his highschool years. He just looks a bit more rough around the edges and had shorter hair.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style,width: 420px;] ABOUT █ Kizuato is a jealous man. He always wants the top position; he likes to be in the center of attention. Growing up to be a Yakuza and a Tsukami, he's out-right violent and cruel when it comes to fights. He doesn't have any standards or this thing called pity as he's willing to shoot and kill anyone that gets in his way. However despite his attempts to kill or dethrone Katsuo, he still does it behind the curtains. He can be quite two-faced. To most Tsukami gang members, they'll see him as the loyal one, the one that has always been there for the Tsukami gang. But, that's just a way of how he gets their trust. Despite his obsession with getting the leader spot, he didn't let it eat him alive. He still tried to have a social life outside of it, spend time with his friends, have his own hobbies as to why he probably didn't go crazy. He is also quite the family man, the always remembers his children birth date as well as know (or try to figure out) what their current likes and dislikes are. Most of the time, when he isn't busy with work, he spends it with his wife. BACKGROUND █ Kizuato is as twisted as the rest of the family members before him. He grew up in a strict yakuza-base family. You had only one goal in life, to serve as a yakuza for the Tsukami gang. But, Kizuato always wanted more than just a member, he wanted the position of that leader. Kizuato grew up in a more normal life than his cousin Tsukami Katsuo. Unlike Katsuo Kizuato actually went to school with the rest of the kids. He learned wrongs from rights and rights from wrongs like any other children. It was that he chose not to listen to them rather than his cousin who was taught differently. When hearing about the accident of Katsuo's parents, he always never understood why his grandfather didn't give the position to his father. However, unlike Kizuato, his father was rather easy-going, happy with his position and serving the Tsukami family from where he stood. The jealous-brain Kizuato developed was more from his mother who thought that his father deserved the spot. Unlike most yakuza members of the Tsukami family as well as other yakuza gangs, Kizuato was forced to stay in school until he graduated high-school by his father, wanting his son to have a bit more of an education than himself. However, Kizuato was more of a rebel, not interested in education and would tend to skip. He wasn't the most intelligent either and as he was a yakuza-related family, he barely made it to Ouran's D-rank classes. During his years at Ouran, he was a member of the swim team. However, as much as he disliked the rules and laws of Ouran. He could only thank it for finding it to him, the love of his life and his beautiful (now) wife, Manami. The two started dating at the end of first year or so. They were that crazy couple at Ouran. If there was a Manami, a Kizuato would be here and vise versa. Their hands were always intertwined and they were pretty much the unbreakable couple. Of course, it's not like many people tried to break them up. Manami was a tad in her own world and Kizuato was abnormally violent and over-possessive when it came to her. They had wanted to marry since highschool but, pushed back the date till they had graduated. After they had graduated, she had to leave for an art exhibition and tours around the world that would benefit her career instead of going to university. Kizuato had wanted to marry before she left but, she convinced him to wait instead. He faithfully waited until she came back where as they were married and had two beautiful purple hair children, naming them sin & virtue. During the past Kizuato had attempted many ways to kick Katsuo off his throne. Random gang attacks when he less expected or other wicked behind the curtain things to kill the man but, all failed. Sometimes due to luck, other times due to just skill. Due to his many attempts of failure in killing Katsuo, he advised and trained Sin in ways that he wasn't when he was younger so that Sin could one day take over the leader spot, kicking Yoite out of the way (as Shuurin was too weak to). Kizuato's original plans were to keep Sin home-schooled so he could train him more but Manami protested against it. And Manami was the only person who had the ability to change his mind. But, when Sin started having disorders and had started acting out Kizuato had finally opened his eyes to Virtue who had always been there with the same intentions as his. There he and Virtue could plot the demise of Tsukami Yoite and his family for the spot for their own.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style,width: 210px;] STATUS █ alive AGE █ late thirties GENDER █ female RELATION █ sin's and virtue's mother NATIONALITY █ 1/2 japanese 1/2 irish SPOUSE █ tsukami kizuato OCCUPATION █ artist POSITION █ famous fine artist

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style,width: 210px;] █ Manami likes to paint the animals her husband brings back from his hunting trips. █ Along with painting, she has also experimented a bit with tattooing. █ From a young age, Sin and Virtue were taught by their mother on how to draw and paint, though Sin was only one who excelled. █ Sadly Manami can't have anymore children due to the chemicals from the paints she uses. █ She is fluent in both Japanese and English.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style,width: 420px;] ABOUT █ The best way to describe Manami would be as the girl that lives in her own little world. A nicer way to put her would be quirky with her interests in black magic and gothic themes clothing and wares which are very well reflected in her paintings. She is just what some call imaginative and creative being an artist and all. Despite her being interested in all these darker things, Manami is actually a very cheerful person. She is also very accepting and supportive of those around her, especially her husband and children. To her, family always comes first. She is family oriented and tries her best to involve herself as much as she can with her family. Despite her age, Manami is still childish in the sense that she is honestly like a grown child with little sense of true responsibility. Manami is excitable where the smallest of things can bring a large smile to her face and, at the same time, she is also a bit easy to upset as well. BACKGROUND █ Manami was never a stranger to the underground world. Her mother's side of the family is made up of members from the Irish mafia. Though with her mother being a woman, she didn't have much of a part in the mafia other than being exposed and growing up with it. Which is why when Manami's mother met her father, they were able to move to Japan where he was from. Because of their wealth from the Irish mafia and other things, Manami was able to attend Ouran. Manami lived a fairly "normal" life as a teenager, if you can call it that. Because of her parents; wealth and background, she was placed in D-ranked classes. It wasn't that she was a bad student or anything, she got just a little bit bellow average grades. And why was that? Because she is an airhead and would get space out during class or doodle in her notebook instead of taking notes. If it wasn't for that, she would of done fine. During her high school years, it would be no surprise to find out that Manami was part of the art club. She would be part of black magic club too if she could, but what can you do? She loved art club so no complaining there. It was actually in high school that Manami also met the man of her dreams and present day husband, Kizuato. The two started dating around the end of their first year of high school and, as you can see, ended up getting married years later. These two were that un-separable couple during high school where one was never seen without the other. And it didn't take them that long to know that they wanted to spend the rest of their loves together. Originally the two planned to get married after they graduated high school, but that date had to be pushed back about year later. After graduation, Manami left Japan for an art exhibition around the world that lasted a year to jump start her career as an artist. During that year apart, the two still stayed in contact of course. Manami would send Kizuato letters and drawings she has done herself of wherever she was to him on a daily basis. When Manami returned, the couple got married right away and eventually had two lovely twins Manami named Sin and Virtue. Manami was the one that thought of their names. She always wanted twins just so she could give them cute matching names like that. She would of loved to have more children, being a fan of big families, but can't due to poisoning from some of the paints she uses. As a wife and parent, Manami has always been supportive of everything her husband and children did whether it be over throwing your cousin to take over the family gang, dabbling in drugs and acting out, or being student class president and a princess. What kind of mother would she be if she didn't support her kids in everything they did? She will love them all no matter what they did.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style,width: 420px;] ABOUT █ Lucius is a reserved man, he keeps himself to himself especially when it comes to business matters as with politics, you don't want to show your cards. Because of his occupation it means that he is an incredibly good liar and can be charming when the situation comes down to it, after all it never hurt to get people on side now did it? however despite this and his amazing charm offensive he will not take shit from anyone, if you are wrong and he is right then he will put you down until you damn well accept that you were never in the right in the first place. And even if he isn't in the right then he's so stubborn that he won't shut up about it until you accept he's right. His way is the right way after all. Always impeccably dressed though, the man had a keen sense of style even before his wife used him as 'model' of sorts. He prides himself on being smart where ever he looks and tries to encourage this for his children despite the youngest never really taking it on board. He is also extremely intelligent and really is a family guy. BACKGROUND █ Lucius comes from a family of lawyers and his father was never really pro the whole politician thing and regularly showed distaste for this. He is also an only child. He graduated from Ouran with a degree in political science, he also met his current girlfriend at that time (Draco's mother) at Ouran and begun a relationship with her. A year later they had a son called Draco. A few months after his son was born, his wife suggested he get a personal stylist and started talking about a tailor shop that had just opened downtown, not realizing that the owner would drive a wedge between her and her now fiance. cracks were already starting to form in their relationship with the baby and Lucius' job not allowing him much time off work. After a few days later after much pestering he went down to the shop meeting melissa jones who agreed to be his personal tailor; she'd make him suits, do his hair, make sure he was all preped for big speeches. And after a year rumours started, Mr Takeda was getting too close to his tailor and that they were spending a whole lot of time together, certainly more time than he was spending with his fiance and son. After a year of him employing her, they ended up going out for dinner and he drunkenly kissed her. It was about to go further until she told him that she didn't want to be the other woman and that if he wanted to be with her, he couldn't be with his fiance. After she told him this he went home. The next day he turned up infront of the shop and told her that she was the one for him and that he'd left his fiance. Been together ever since.

DILFORD SUE dilford sue was born in the city of new york, and as how this type of stories usually go, he was the son of his father and one of said father's mistresses. nonetheless, his mother still raised him like her own - one among many reasons why family and faithfulness are two of the most important things to dilford today. however, not everybody's lucky in the field of love, especially when they're born to a family with such high standards for their partners and alliances. a well-disciplined yet ambitious man due to expectations and growth environment, dilford tends to carry himself in a very distant and apathetic manner. he always puts his job and the family image above everything else. but in reality, he's just not very expressive (to the point of being shy, almost) and is only doing what he believes to be the best for his children; a normal reaction for a parent who does not want the family to get hurt due to their profession and the complexity of the world. after living the same rigid life for twenty six years - burying himself in knowledge and near isolation - it was time for dilford to settle down and start a family of his own. as his parents had naturally refused any female he ever brought before them, arrangements were made without his consent. however, no girl was apparently suitable for dilford; he behaved well enough - superbly, in fact - though the lack of charisma was what failed him many times. he only spoke of politics and the economy without realizing that most women had little interest in either, but at the same time, he simply refused to open himself up to complete strangers. two years quickly went by. both dilford and his own parents eventually decided that, perhaps, marriage wasn't such a good idea after all. however, his position in the political world was put in danger when the absence of a legitimate partner became a problem; he was the laughing stock of his elder, and more experienced opponents. the arranged marriages were once again put to the test, and in the end, dilford - on the verge of desperation - picked a girl that nobody else really wanted. there was nothing at all romantic about this as it was strictly business; dilford needed a wife, and the young milfalicia doe was the only leftover on the table. a wedding between the doe and himself took place right after his twenty ninth birthday. simultaneously, milfalicia was only nineteen during this time. though he has attempted to keep his favouritism to a minimal, dilford only gets along with a selected number of his seven children - the ones that resemble him when it comes to their hobbies or manners, of course. and to this day - even after all the time he's spent with his wife - dilford continues to play the role of a strict, no-nonsense father who is simply too arrogant to admit that he is neither perfect, nor the most ideal parent. he's just a tsundere, nbd. occupation politician. age mid-fifties. likes tradition, silence, obedience, debates, power, orderliness, classical music, hunting. dislikes poverty, rule breakers, asian foods, untamed animals. MILFALICIA SUE milfalicia sue (nee doe) will forever be a cunning woman; quite the stereotypical trait for an individual with a quarter's gypsy blood running in her veins. in other words, milfalicia is what one would call a 'good actress' and a 'goal-oriented strategist,' even if both are the last things one would relate to her at first glance. from appearance alone, assumptions of the sue matriarch being a disastrous klutz and a ditzy california girl can easily be made. as a matter of fact, many seem to consider her as no more than a trophy wife to dilford... which she probably was, initially. milfa was a free-spirit boxed inside a set of traditions and expectations, you see. with a head filled with all sorts of crazy ideas, the brunette woman used to get most of her jollies from practical jokes and general mischiefs - something that was frowned upon even more so than modern times, especially when her family background's taken into consideration. this particular side of her gradually faded with her coming of age, nevertheless, and her priorities became her responsibilities to act as the perfect daughter. however, she never did manage to erase the name she had made for herself during her younger days. and no matter how hard her parents tried, other american families of the upper-class simply refused to draw the red string of fate between milfa and their sons; they believed that milfa would only bring along unnecessary trouble into their households. of course, that left milfalicia with a man who was of little interest to her and had little interest in her. still, she was quickly bought over with the promise of vanities such as fame and wealth. along with her husband, milfalicia - as though to atone for past disappoints she had brought upon her own parents - maintains a family image that is well-received by most outsiders. she plays the role of a loving mother and an affectionate wife, even if her relationship with dilford will always be more of a partnership than any type of actual emotional dependency - at least that's what both of them seem to believe, anyway. when it comes to her children, milfa has made sure - since the very beginning - that they do not become like her teenage self. but somewhere along the line, one of them strayed from their so-called 'path to greatness' anyway. ... and then boom, bang, now she doesn't really wanna care anymore 'cause i'm fuqing bored of this, the end. *shot* jk i'll just add more if i can remember w/e i actually made up way back when. occupation secretary (of her husband). age mid-forties. likes movies, cooking, baking, golfing, pirates, cowboys, fame, fashion. dislikes most sports, pain, the law, injustice, caffeinated beverages.
