CHARACTER INFORMATION
➤ CHARACTER NAME: Ouka Sakaki
➤ SERIES: Weiss Kreuz
➤ CHARACTER AGE: 15
➤ REFERENCE: I've looked, and this tiny paragraph is all I can really find about her, since Ouka isn't a main character and Weiss isn't that popular of a show. So I've written up a short history for her.
Ouka is the illegitimate daughter of Takatori Reiji and Sakaki Shizuka. Because Shizuka and Reiji never married, Ouka didn't learn the identity of her father until later in her life. She lives with her mother -- a restaurant owner -- and takes her mother's last name, but it is clear from how spoiled she is and how she acts so upper class (despite having a mother that is just the owner of one restaurant) that her father obviously dotes on her. He spoils her and gives her everything that she asks for without hesitation. This was not, however, always the case.
She has three half brothers -- Hirofumi, Masafumi, and Mamoru -- two of which are dead and one has been missing for years. However, while she is very close to her father, she does not actually know anyone else in her family. In fact, when holding a picture of her, Hirofumi did not even recognize her. And Ouka had no idea Mamoru existed until quite recently.
Since finding out who her father was, Ouka has had to work to obtain the level of affection he has for her now. He is, after all, a politician, and also was never really close to any of his sons or even his own brother. This is evident by the fact that Reiji was perfectly okay with sacrificing Masafumi, but was enraged when he found out that Ouka had been accidentally killed.
She is blissfully unaware of the atrocities the Takatori's have done onto others, and thinks the world of her father.
➤ CANON POINT: Mid Episode 11; at the party, she's gone off to look for Omi
➤ SEXUALITY: She's only ever shown a romantic interest in Omi, and she hasn't hit the curious-about-experimenting-in-college phase, so very likely heterosexual
➤ PERSONALITY: At first glance, Ouka is nothing but a spoiled brat. She's so used to being given everything she's ever asked for, that she rarely ever asks, anymore. She simply demands. And things always seem to end up going her way (occasionally, a little persuasion is needed. But she's Ouka, that should be persuasion enough, really.) She's not particularly vain, but she is quite aware of the fact that she is beautiful. Ouka does take care of the way she looks, and knows how to "dress to impress," so to speak.
The casual observer might think that Ouka cares only for herself. After all, with all that demanding, it generally gives off the air that she's a selfish little girl. However, -- and it may be a little surprising -- she actually has a very strong set of morals. She may be all about caring only about getting everything she wants on the surface, but when things get rough, Ouka is not afraid to throw herself out there to save the lives of others. She does care deeply for her friends (though it does seem that sometimes she has a hard time getting friends, seeing as how abrasive she can come off at times), and often worries a little too much over them. She wants the best for those that are important to her, but this occasionally can turn into her being just a little too nosy. Her morals aren't only displayed toward her friends, she can also be very selfless at times toward strangers: when she and Omi were captured as bait for a human hunting game, she risks her own life to shoo away some very aggressive dogs in order to save the stranger that they had been attacking.
Perhaps it is due to the fact that nobody has ever really said no to her before, but Ouka is completely without fear. She knows she is important, and thus, is not afraid to speak her mind or push past those who are less important. However, in this way, she is also very sheltered. She hasn't seen enough of the outside world and the cruelty that human beings can exhibit (ironically, a majority of which seems to be dealt by her own father.) Ouka has a very naive and childish way of looking at the world in simple black-and-white. This causes her to sometimes make some poor judgement choices without even a blink. In fact, there are times when she simply does not understand the situation at hand, and ends up taking a dangerous situation way too easily; there's always an almost-childish mentality of, "everything will end up alright, and someone will come and save me." Even when faced with undeniable danger, she still manages to remain fierce. (Though, a little damsel-in-distress when Omi is around never hurt anyone.)
While she doesn't seem to get along with any of the other members of Weiss, she does take a very noticeable interest in Omi, the youngest of the group and the one closest to her age and friendliest. At first, she comes off as incredibly abrasive, causing him to become uncomfortable (the jokes that Youji makes toward him obviously don't help.) She ignores everything that he tells her and pretty much forces herself onto him, making it very difficult for him to do his job as an undercover assassin. Even despite all of her aggressiveness, he manages to see the caring, beautiful person she is and falls for her.
(Then he finds out that they're actually brother and sister, but he still care about her anyways. Except before anything can be resolved, she accidentally takes a bullet that was meant for him. And dies. Later, he finds out that he's actually Mamoru. Who's actually her cousin, not her brother, because Reiji's brother had an affair with his wife. Buuuuut... none of that really matters here because Ouka doesn't know any of this \o/ tl;dr, Weiss is screwed up and Mamoru player will probably cover all that in her app.)
➤ POWERS: The power of screaming loud enough and for a long enough period of time to get everything she ever wants?
➤ PREVIOUS GAME MEMORIES: N/A
➤ SUITABILITY: She may be 15, and a little on the more sheltered side, but Ouka is very much self-aware and self-possessed. Later in episode 12, she ends up discovering (with a little manipulation and help) that Omi is her brother and also a "murderer" and was able to still hold herself together and try her best to make sense of all of this. Before dying in his arms and traumatizing him. Oops.
➤ FIRST PERSON EXAMPLE: Omi's birthday is in a week. [ Said as if you should know this. Really, why don't you know this? This is important information. ]
Of course, there will be a celebration. And you're all invited. [ No need to RSVP, she knows you all want to come. ] It will be at the attached address. I'll need the names to flower shops, caterers, and interior designers in this place. Only the very very best!
[ So maybe she hasn't planned this all the way out just quite yet. But not to worry, she's got plenty of time. As do you. For giving her information. ]
Oh, and of course, bring a present. It's a birthday party, after all.
➤ THIRD PERSON EXAMPLE: Here
Sidenote: While this is in brackets and more than 6 months old, it shows her being reactionary a bit more in-depth
➤ IF THIS IS A REAPPLICATION, WILL THEY RETAIN MEMORIES? N/A
