Referred by: Cavan Mikal
Name: Mami Charon Hotaru Tien
Age: 15
Birthday: August 16th
Sex: Female
Nationality: Japanese
Speech: Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Cambodian, Arabic
Blood: Muggle-born
Family:
Her father, Daisuke Kenshin Tien, Ambassador of Japan for China, is the son of two proud hot springs owners and has done everything in his power to better his family and make them a great influence around the world. He married Kaori when they had both finished college and were interning as translators at the Embassy of China in Tokyo. He decided after they had been married for several years and had both gained high positions in the government, that they should take the time to have an heir to their growing fortune.
Her mother, Kaori Mayu Tien, Ambassador of Japan for India, is the younger daughter of Tokyo executives. They paid little attention to her as a child, caring more for her older sister. She decided that she would be more successful that either of her parents or her sister, to show them they’d made a mistake in ignoring her all her life. She agreed to marry Daisuke after a short courting time, knowing that they were going into the same field for different languages. She agreed to her husband’s idea because she wanted to make up for the way her parents had treated her with a child of her own. The pregnancy was long and tiring and when the child was birthed, she seemed to distance herself from it without realizing. Almost immediately she when back to work, leaving two friends of the family to raise the child.
Her guardians, Mitsuko Hanajima and Satomi Uotani, both members of the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, took her in at the age of five when she first showed magical ability. Her parents refused to deal with a child that could ruin their career goals. She had spent most of her time as a child with the two women, friends of the family through government connections. They’d watched her whenever her parents were out of the country, which was more often than not, so the change in guardianship from her parents to the two women had not fazed Mami in the least. Mitsuko was daughter to a past Prime Minister of Japan, Satomi was daughter of college professor and linguist. The two women had been together since the middle of university and had no problem ignoring the stares and snide remarks often sent their way. They were happy and the few people that were rude enough to comment on them in a negative way weren’t worth their time.
Mami has no siblings that she knows of, but it has been nearly ten years since she last had contact with her parents and she would not be surprised in the least if she had at least one, if not more. She didn’t really remember her parents much and didn’t mind, she was loved and cared for by her guardians and when they were given a chance to join the British Symphony Orchestra for a few years, she was happy to venture to a new country and meet new people. She was immediately contacted by the Ministry of Magic and given the opportunity to attend Hogwarts during their stay in England. She’d attend a small Wizarding School in Japan and looked forward to comparing the differences with the British school.
Height: 5’4
Weight: 115lbs
Hair: Long, Black, normally worn in two buns
Eyes: Amber, perfect 20/20 vision
Skin Color: Fair with a lightly tan coloring to it
Clothing style: Lolita of all types and Gothic.
Accessories: The only thing she can always been seen wearing is her amethyst pendant, hung on a black leather cord.
Standing at 5’4, her long black hair falls well past her waist, she normally pulls it into two tight buns, which she decorates with dragon or wolf hair clips or pink or purple hair ribbons. With no need for glasses due to 20/20 vision, her almond shaped, amber eyes stand out, shining with hidden mysteries all her own. She has the typical Japanese complexion of someone who likes the out of doors. Though she is an exemplary student, she would prefer wearing one of her cute Lolita outfits or something a little Gothic in place of her school uniforms, though she knows they are necessary at times. Part of the reason she more often than not preferred the out of uniform look was because she had often been compared to the anime character Sailor Moon, though their hair was different. She was often called the ‘Dark Moon Princess’ in jest by other students from muggle families.
Personality:
She has been described as serious, studious, someone who tends to keep to herself, skillfully talented, and often contemplative. Often found by herself, she would normally rather spend her time reading fiction or poetry that spend time with people, with the exception of when she decided to soar above the crowds playing Quidditch. She felt that no matter what she did, she must excel to the fullest extent to make her guardians and her parents proud. She only let herself really go and no try so hard when she was reading her fiction or after a time, playing music. She often finds herself writing music off the top of her head, only to write it down and play it later on.
She loves life, music, art and aspires to one day be known for transferring muggle compact disks into something the wizarding world can use. Sure they had radio, but they didn’t have recording of their bands on something they could play whenever they wanted. Though she doesn’t plan on anything else for her life, she is often writing her own short stories and poems, all of which are compiled in a single tome at the bottom of her traveling trunk. She could probably very easily become the next J.R.Tolkien in the muggle world if she wanted, not that she ever thought about it. Currently, her focus is mostly set on music, whether it be writing it, playing it, or just listening to it.
When she first meets a person, she customarily bows to them, giving them a very large smile of welcome and happy greeting. She never full trusts anyone she meets unless she has known them for years and has never had a reason to doubt them for even a moment. She respects everyone, but once that respect is lost, it can not be gain again the same way, atonement takes a long time and she is willing to hold a grudge for as long as it takes. As she is an athletic person, she has taken many different styles of martial arts and though she doesn’t often use it, could easily disarm most people before they could utter a stunning spell. She is agile like a tiger and quick like a monkey.
History:
She was raised to be polite and studious and excelled at both with flying colors. Every activity she was given to keep her occupied or to teach her something was completely without hassle and with excellent effects. She was quick to master several languages, many she was taught in hopes that her parents would reconsider their decision. Her guardians often gave her instruments to play with which she figured out and played beautifully within weeks. When she was old enough for school, they received a letter informing them all, that she’d been accepted, without application, to a prestigious school for young witches and wizards. Her guardians were very proud of her and wrote her often, including the sheet music for any of the concerts they performed during her absents.
When she was four she started having accidental magic, normally around her current guardians who didn’t mind. But one day not long after she had turned five, she’d had a bit of accidental magic, turning her crib into a big girl bed because she was tired of sleeping behind bars. Her parents immediately packed up all her belongings and shipped her off to live permanently with Mitsuko and Satomi as her legal guardians. Her parents had been terrified of her and wouldn’t even touch the bed, making the movers do most of the work. They sent their daughter with one of their many servants on a train to their ‘friends’ home. Shortly after that, all the servants were let go and an all new staff was hired, one that didn’t know about their daughter or her ‘talent’. They never tried to contact their ‘daughter’ or her guardians again. The only proof that they still cared even remotely about the child was the trust fund in her name, which was still slowly accumulating large amounts of money each month as her parents were paid.
Often, since her guardians had nothing better to do with their time, they would all take martial arts classes together, training as a family was something that brought them closer together and also cleansed all their spirits all the same time. They practiced Yoga each morning before breakfast and would mediate each night before bed. Mami often spent time during her guardians’ orchestra practices at the local temple, helping the priestesses keep the temple clean, or warding away evil spirits that threatened the lands. She’d realized she had a knack for it when she was younger and it was helpful to the other girls, so she didn’t mind. She was after all very sensitive to those kinds of things.
During school she was often the only one in class who knew the answer. She had every assignment from her texts books done by the end of the first week of school, sitting in a binder waiting for the teachers to ask for it. She took her time when an extra assignment was given, putting in twice the effort that was truly needed, just because she could. During her free time, which was almost anytime there wasn’t a class being held, she could be found either in a bright corner of the library reading manga or fiction novels, or somewhere outside soaking in the sun. She lived in oddly formal dresses and gothic accessories for most of the time, unless she was in class of she was playing Quidditch. Like everything else, she enjoyed the sport and often played for fun with a few of the other students, the sport was the only thing she did that helped her socialize.
When her guardians were given the chance to play in Great Britain, Mami was excited to join them and see the sites of a new land. She had lived in Tokyo most of her life and was ready to see what else the world had to offer. Upon arriving in the flat in London, they received an owl welcoming them to England and offering Mami a chance to attend school while they were there. Deciding it would be fun to experience Wizarding School in another country, she decided to enroll and join the learning fun at Hogwarts. Even though she had the choice to wait until Christmas break was over, she decided that the best Christmas gift she could give her guardians would be a Christmas alone. They had done so much for her that they deserved some time alone during a holiday, it would be like the honeymoon they’d never been able to have.
