Character Kinomoto Toya
Series Cardcaptor Sakura
Age 17
Canon Cardcaptor Sakura is the story of a burgeoning magician chosen to reunite and revitalize the Clow Cards, a powerful set of magical elements that come to life at their master’s will. Toya... is not the master of the Clow Cards. He’s her older brother.
Knowing that Toya took on the role of protector to his younger sister Sakura after the death of their mother, one might expect the boy to be unusually serious and mature for his age. However despite his protective streak (easily a mile wide) Toya is still very much a typical teenaged sibling- often as not he can be found teasing and complaining about his baby sister, and his nickname for her (Monster) really sums the relationship up-- unless of course she happens to be in real trouble.
Apart from family matters, Toya is best known for his excellence in athletics, the ability to hold down multiple odd jobs outside of school (which serves the triple purpose of taking some strain off his family, giving him an excuse to keep an eye on Sakura when she's out, and providing him with some cash on the side for a really sweet bike), and his kindness in the face of even the weirdest of occult creatures. This is the one time at which Toya's levelheaded and gentle center really shows itself: he doesn't judge you based on your differences. Heck, you can even become his best friend.
You know, I’ve had a lot of first days, on a whole lot of jobs, but this one’s pretty unique. Is it too much to ask whatever happened to orientation? Honestly. I show up, shake a few hands… and the next thing I know I’m back out the door with a box under one arm, a manual in my hands, and my motorcycle under my butt. Okay, so it’s kind of nice to ride some place where the Monster's not going show up and maybe hurt herself, and it’s really nice not having to walk… but I could’ve waited another hour or two to get a clue. And what kind of door to door salesman needs his own bike? How far apart are these doors, anyway? And the woods. Where the heck did the woods come from? I've seen a lot of parks around home, but this is different. This is really freaking dense and if anything happens to my bike the first time I'm offroading which by the way you're supposed to have a dirtbike for-- well there's a few other people I might just pitch off the road. Over a bridge. Maybe a nice cliff.
Then there’s this product.... It’s not like I’m picky. If people want to buy something, sure, I’ll sell it to them. But radio buttons? How much demand is there for spare parts like these? I don't care how good this training manual is, they're kidding themselves if they think I'm gonna make a killing. But fine. Let's see what the wonder book has to say.
When making your first pitch, try using one of our catchy slogans!
Okay, uh. Geez. I would, but this one doesn’t even make sense. Radio Buttons: For all the times when you just don’t want to put your tick in that box.
..........
I have no idea what they were thinking.
Maybe I can do this my way. Nice, comfortable, helpful. “Hey there! I don’t suppose you’re a music lover. Ever gotten so into it that you just twisted one of the buttons right off looking for the perfect song? ...shyeah, I didn’t think so. But if you ever do, I’m there for you.”
Okay. Theirs might’ve been better. Or maybe not. What else’ve they got?
Let the customer sample the product. Tell them this may be their only chance to do something that isn’t abstaining abstinence.
.......
Pretty sure they were right the first time, there. Sheesh. I mean, not that I was planning on going "Hey, sir-or-ma'am! How do you feel about pushing my buttons?" to the first person I met, but now it's just a big FAT no. It's like the world's biggest slice of no-cake with no-sauce and no-whipped cream with a... radio button on top. Yeah.
Hey wait a minute, don't they call them dials?
