Wiki Page
Miki is the only child of Single Mother and Noodle/Chinese restaurant Owner Onimaru Makiku. Unable to completely deal with her energetic and easily distracted daughter, Makiku would resort to violence in an attempt to keep the young Miki in line. In school, Miki was completely disinterested in her lessons, having more interest in bullying older boys, often to the point of causing severe psychological damage to them later in their life. Her lax attitude in school gained her some enemies amongst the students who thought her presence was an insult to those who were trying their best in their studies. This would especially become an issue when, at the age of 20, Miki began to work at her mother's restaurant as a server and delivery person, as one such enemy, Kannazuki Megumi, ran the bakery across the street.
Jealous of the success of the Onimaru's restaurant, Megumi would attempt to discredit in Miki as a good employee by challenging her to various battles and competitions. However, since the near clockwork conflict between Megumi and Miki plus the constant corrective violence dished out to Miki from her mother was the driving force behind the restaurant's popularity, there was little she could do to stop people from visiting the restaurant.
Personality: Miki loves a challenge, especially ones that involves kicking someone in the face, as that is something she is especially adept at. Whenever she sees the chance to solve a problem, she will usually attempt to create some sort of competition to sort it out. Whenever she see a physical challenge that needs completed, Miki is always willing to lend a hand or just butt in and take over if the hand isn't exactly appreciated by those she helps.
When she is in competition mode, Miki is able to maintain a veneer of complete seriousness at the challenge at hand-- no matter how absurd. Often times, when she spots an opening or has somehow found an upper hand again her competitor, she will smile like a demon, letting her aura of confidence radiate out in order to dishearten her opponent. Miki will always put her full ability into a challenge, even if her opponent may not be up to the same level as her, which can often lead to broken bones and unacceptable casualties. However if the challenge involves something that Miki is not particularly skilled in, such as being graceful, a proper lady, or anything where she can't just win via some sort of application of brute athletic skill, she will easily reach the end of her short patience and become visibly frustrated. Miki will always persevere to the end, attempting to finish as fairly as possible, waiting for a later date to exact an appropriate revenge.
Miki is always willing to help those who seem to be in need and appear to be helpless, such as children. Usually she finds herself most helpful when attempting to avoid completing some other less important task, like work, since usually there is something there that she finds much less boring. Other ways she sates her short attention span and complete disinterest in her responsibilities is to find local thugs to terrorize, beating delinquents straight, forcing people so settle their differences via a silly competition, chasing dragonflies, or just attempting to bully her enemies for a laugh.
When dealing with her enemies, Miki is rarely the first to resort to violence. Miki always waits to find a solid justification (in her own mind, that is - once Miki labels someone as an enemy, most everything they do that inconveniences her becomes solid justification) before whipping out the vicious blows and righteous kicks. If for some reason she cannot find justification, she will attempt to goad her enemies to give her justification via a cunning plan. Unfortunately, Miki is not the best architect of cunning plans and usually finds the tables easily turned as her plans backfire like an old Ford. There are some occasions where will Miki will resort to violence first, usually if her short temper is triggered by a slight to her (which also includes praises to her enemies) or someone attempting to annoy her.
There are times and tasks where Miki is able to competently and gladly perform as asked. In these times, she comes across as a happy, energetic, and perfectly sociable young woman who is occasionally driven to episodes of clumsiness as her high spirits get the best of her. She becomes her most prim and proper, however, when under the influence of alcohol. Once she crosses over the tipsy barrier, she morphs from her violent, aggressive self into a proper, respectful, and polite-to-the-point-of-servile lady.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Chariot
Justification: Miki is obsessed with winning, even if the odds aren't in her favor. She will always strive to see that she is victorious in everything she does, finding ways to overcome her weaknesses and utilize her talents in the most efficient way. Unfortunately, she is often blinded by her obsession to win, and will often do so at the expense/wellbeing of those around her, whether it is someone competing against her or just a bystander. She will also make nearly everything she does into some sort of a competition, where she will obsess over winning even if the victory is meaningless or interferes with her responsibilities.
Samples:
First Person Sample: [On the other end of the phone is the voice of a young woman. She sounds somewhat embarrassed.]
"Does anyone know where this is? The last thing I remember is throwing the white-haired guy through and my mother yelling at me before everything went black. I know my mother threatened to ship me overseas a few times but I'd never though she would do it."
"Since I'm here, I guess I might as well keep busy. Anyone need a poster girl or delivery girl? I'm the best one you'll ever find! I guarantee I will bring in a ton of customers!"
Third Person Sample: Miki stands at the entrance to an alley, clenching and unclenching her fists. In front of her a dog stands, half a pizza dangling from it's mouth. Behind it, the end of the alley she had cornered it in. "So you think you can stop me from delivering that pizza, dog?" she says in a tone that not just threatens, but promises to bring terrible pain upon the listener. Slowly the young woman moves into a fighting stance, closing her eyes, and relaxes into a zen like state. She waits, calmly, until the dog decides that it's safe to move.
At that moment her eyes jerk open and she leaps at the thieving beast, her face painted with an evil grin. She brings her foot down a second too late to meet the dog, but not the unlucky garbage can behind it. As the dog bolts down the alley with the pizza in its snout, Miki turns and runs after it at top speed, hollering that it will give that pizza back and that she will not lose to another dog ever again.
