Character History:
Here! Personality:
Hanyuu presents herself as a shy young girl. She stutters, mixes up her words, and is afraid of standing up to people. However, she's able to gain more confidence when pushed and can stand up for herself. She can be very happy and playful, as she enjoys joining in with her friends in their club games and teasing Keiichi. She also acts very childish, using childlike terms, along with her verbal tic "auau," which she uses for all emotions. She loves sweets and often gets very excited about them, but hates anything spicy or alcoholic. Hanyuu appears very weak, which causes people to think she's cute, tease her or even bully her. She mainly just accepts it because they're friends, and she doesn't think she could really do much about it anyway. Once she gains more confidence around people, though, she can become much more outgoing.
However, Hanyuu is more than just a cute little girl. She is the shrine god of Hinamizawa, also called "Oyashiro". She took the sins of man upon herself and had her daughter kill her to cleanse the sins of the village. But Hanyuu is a weak god, so when the people of the village became sick from the Hinamizawa Syndrome, she could do nothing but apologize. Because of this, she doesn't hold much confidence in herself and thinks she's useless. She's always saying, "I'm sorry," when she feels like she's letting someone down. She's also very pessimistic, often seeing the worst sides of people and growing discouraged at the murders that occurred at, what she thought was, her own fault. She can get serious and looks down upon humans when she becomes more god-like, calling people, "Child of Man." This is a rare side of her, but if people threaten to hurt those she cares about, she will not hesitate to bring this side out.
Even though she has seen so much, Hanyuu still cares very deeply about the people in Hinamizawa. Her most cherished person is Rika Furude, who she thinks of as a daughter, and was the only one who could see her up until she took on a human form. She also loves Rika's friends very much and always wanted to be able to join their Games Club. Hanyuu has a motherly side to her as well. She taught Rika how to cook and sew, as well as other things to do around the house when Rika's mother did not. Hanyuu was a mother once, so she likes taking care of children and being around them. She only wants a life where Rika and her friends can live happily together.
Extra:
Character Abilities: Hanyuu, while weak, is a god. She is able to drift in and out her human form and her spirit form (while in her spirit form, only Rika is able to see her). She is also able to manipulate time, making it repeat and stopping it altogether. Her powers have gotten weaker as time went on, so she will not use her powers much, if at all.
Possessions: The clothes on her back and a cream puff.
Anything else: Not that I can think of!

Communication post. Log/Prose sample:
Hanyuu watches as she always has. Only Rika can see her and she is unable to be useful, so she must watch. She must watch as her people die and blame it on her. But it is her fault, isn't it? Because she isn't strong enough to protect them.
But that doesn't matter, because right now her people are playing Old Geezer and having fun. The smiles on their faces, their yells and cries of joy delight her so that she joins in too. Even if they cannot hear her, she laughs with them and looks at their cards, trying to tell the others what to grab.
"Hauu, good job, Mion," she claps as Mion plays a good game; Hanyuu is now invested in it.
Rika laughs and claps as well, though Hanyuu knows that laugh is meant for her outburst. They cannot hear or see her, but she is playing along with them like she has always been a part of their club. And she has, because she has always been watching over them.
Rika looks over to her when the others aren't looking and shows her a small smile, and Hanyuu smiles back. She only wishes for the day when she can really be a member of their club.
