Dislikes: Baren when he's being too persistent, busybodies, boring things
Talents: fighting, building traps
Title: The 8th Head of the Kumou Shrine
Companions:
Weapon: Her orange-yellow Kumou fan, her sword.
Skinship/shipping: It really depends on your friendship level, but more often than not, she's not gonna like it! She'll bust out the fan!! but of course oocly, it would be funny to throw Okuni off so go ahead. I'M OPEN TO IT??? IF WE HAVE CHEMISTRY??? but 10/10 Okuni will prob reject everyone... She's got a town to save and a world to go back to! Also, she's too much of a prankster and punk to encourage those feelings in anyone probably. which prob would be fun to play out
Fighting/violence: Always open to it! Okuni can definitely hold her own unless it's against a OTT-tier level character of course. Feel free to initiate fights too! We'll just discuss it if it gets serious/leading to like mortal injuries for either character.
Backtagging/threadjacking: Yes to both!
Mind-reading: Feel free! She has no mind-reading barriers or psychic abilities in place. If she ever finds out though, then she'll do her best to think of really annoying things like the wheels on the bus go round and round over and over again.
Triggers: I... can't think of anything too specific. I'm generally okay with anything that's IC for the character/situation. if it's something completely out of the blue then I'll generally let you know whether or not I'm comfortable with that.
how do I get into contact with you?!?! MAGIC or plurk or email! that's all on the HMD post ;)
MEMORY 5 -- "girls won't understand"
A battle. Again.
She flicks her fan open and yawns behind it -- even as the screams and gunfire in the air ring out around her.
Noble lords and powerful samurai. They're all the same in the end. Anyway, where's Baren?
Attention already drifting, Okuni moves out of the temple yard and deeper into the forest, finally reaching the shores of a small river where her twin brother, Baren, rests. He's truly her twin, almost a mirror image of her -- if not for the eye patch hiding his left eye. Still, his hair, face, and clothes are a matched set with hers. Though instead of lazy boredom, his right eye is twinkling with excitement.]
There you are, Baren. What are you even doing here?
[He huffs, resting on his elbow as he gazes at Okuni.]
I was watching the battle nearby. Did you see it, Okuni? It's huge! Seriously, I wish I could fight in a battle field like that one!
[Okuni stills for a brief moment, before her tone grows sharp.
Baren, again... He has such weird ideas sometimes!]
Don't say weird things like you want to be a warrior.
[In response, Baren looks sulky, lip pushing out as he gathers to his feet. "I'm not," he replies. "I just want a chance to fight like that for once."]
Well you shouldn't want to. Isn't peace the most important thing? That's the reason we were forged for the sake of our roles. Baren, don't forget that.
[Her twin shrugs, already turning away from her.]
You wouldn't get it, Okuni.
[It's just another sort of sibling quarrel that sometimes takes place. Okuni loves her brother deeply, and he loves her, she knows this for a fact. But they're also two different people and it's only natural that they disagree.
But it's not natural for us to disagree. We're not like other siblings. We're twins. We understand everything about each other, but
why is it that I can never understand this about him? Don't tell me I wouldn't understand -- and just explain it to me!
Instead, Okuni huffs herself and turns away, moving back through the forest to their home. She can hear Baren's footsteps fading away. She has an idea of exactly where he went. She knows for a fact that there's no way he'd get hurt or roped up in the nearby battle. And maybe he should! Maybe that will teach him not to want stupid things. It's only her thoughts that can be heard, but the hurt Okuni fosters in her heart practically echoes in her head.]
