Kakutama Hikari

Hikari is a very young Jiyuuian cadet, serving in the United Outer Colonies Peacekeeping Forces. Hikari is a new Player Character played by 5tar.

First impressions of Hikari's appearance would be that she's was a young kid, maybe even still a school student. Because of her late and slow growth spurts, Hikari's pear shaped body has not yet matured, so she is small compared to others her age. Her young facial features are soft and cute, all except for her sharp slightly slanted almond shaped dark gray eyes that show her real age, almost always underlined with a thick black eyeliner, full of teen curiosity and a sense of adventure, even sometimes a hint of deviousness that comes with her age. She has a full head of extremely long jet black silky hair with purple highlights, that unless she doesn't have the chance, is always kept in a pair of chinese buns on either side of her head in the back. Her bangs however are kept moderately short and jelled to keep separate just above her eyes.

Hikari is far from plain, both her ears are pierced in various places going up, the left has four and the right has five holes; two of which at the top corner are connected by a bar. She takes delight in adding to her appearance with various accessories so at any given time she can be seen with a array of bracelets and necklaces or even brightly colored makeup, usually purple mixing with black though.

Outwardly Hikari is a very outspoken individual and even though she has a young exterior she's not one to be easily submissive, though through her training she's learned when and how to bite her tongue. Because of her fatherless upbringing she had a strong resentment towards her mother; she spent a lot of time skipping classes to find warmth and understanding in the open arms of her close friends through school, which is why she has a fierce loyalty to whoever she befriends. Another note is though Hikari can put off quite a tough girl image, she still has a lot bottled up emotion under her thick layers of protection.

Born a Human, Hikari lived as civilian army brat until she was the minimum age to enroll her self into a military secondary education, she believed that becoming a soldier in the Star Army would take her farther away from her mother who she was always fighting with due to adolescent growing pains and the absence of a father figure in her life, to which she always blamed her abusive mother; Rioko Furutani, who was a 5th XF officer of no particularly extraordinary background. Because of her constant differences with her mother, Hikari would spend a lot of time with her school friends who were always understanding of her situation and welcomed her with open arms.

Once she began training she also began researching her father's identity, since her mother kept it from her because of reasons unknown to Hikari. Apparently her father was a medical technician that once was a respected officer of the Yamtaian Star Army; he had passed away during a conflict in the past. This late news was a knife to her efforts of finding out about her past and especially to her heart, but then a glimmer of hope appeared as she read on to find out that her father had adopted a daughter, a neko that had the name of Yuriko.

Hikari read as much as she could about Yuriko, her sister. She rapidly became obsessed with the neko, like that of a younger sister or perhaps a fan-girl. She wanted to speak with Yuriko, but didn't expect such a revered and respected officer to find the time to respond to a lowly soldier. That was the turning point in her life when she found a purpose, when she completed her basic training she then continued on to the Kyoto War Collage; Jiyuu branch to work towards becoming a equal in her new sister's eyes, so that when she'd meet her they could speak on a even level. She learned all she could and vowed to meet her one day, and learn more about their father.

With her history falling into place Hikari decided to take her father's family name, abandoning her mother completely. At this time she also took the time to dye the color of her sister's hair into her own as stripes and highlights, finding that it helped her feel a step closer to both Yuriko and their father.

The few months passed quickly, before she knew it she had graduated from her term and was awarded the starting officer rank of Shoi Kohosei. But then before she could request her first placement, the 5 XF along with the Outer Colonies of the Yugumo Cluster detached themselves from their mother nation and became the UOC. It all happened so quickly that Hikari was left stunned, but it was only when she looked into her sister's decision for guidance that she found her own answer and purpose, so following in Yuriko's footsteps silently Hikari became a member of the United Outer Colonies Peacekeeping Forces and transferred to a more useful Jiyuuian body, asking to keep the hair but forgetting to ask for the error in her growth pattern to be fixed.

Then once she was finished leaning and getting retrained as a UOC Cadet she placed her request to join Yuriko's ship, under the same family name of the father they both shared…
