THIS IS NOT AN ESSAY.

This is a really old headcanon list back from the first time I tried to app Benkei (so about that old dup), made with input from Nishi and SLIGHTLY UPDATED. Like, I had to only change the part about knives and yanquis. That was it!

- Benkei didn't start out with Air Trek as her pair of wheels: she started out as a motorcycle enthusiast in the Yankis of Kansai. ACTUALLY NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT IT MAKES MORE SENSE FOR HER MOTHER TO BE THE EX-YANQUI ONLY.

- Her father, a mechanic didn't exactly stop this and neither did her mother, an old gang hand herself, although she's now a hairdresser and she did manage to drill a love of some of the girlier things in life into her.

- Benkei has dinner with her parents every other weekend when she's in town. She doesn't smoke her pipe in the house and wears a decent skirt and a real shirt, but she does keep her AT on and has gone straight from dinner to a battle before, but not recently. People seem to have gotten the point.

- She has a few part time jobs: some nights she works in a bar, and when she wants, she tunes up motorcycles, and sometimes AT, although rarely on anyone else then her own. She designed her own boots and the Panther.

- Benkei is a Edo/samurai era shows enthusiast. She also doesn't mind wrestling and was a bit of fan of Rika. But the samurai shows will always be her first love.

- She doesn't like knives and chains very much (for simple combat), because they're inelegant and a crutch to boot. For the tough situations, well. It never hurts to have a backup plan!

- Benkei punched Yoshutine into a wall the first time they met, walked out on him the second time and started listening to him the third time, but only because he started acting seriously. Previously, he was just the neighborhood arcade champion, and known letch.

- However, they found they could bond over black and white bushido films, on Saturday mornings with popcorn, strawberry pocky and beer.

- The names, incidentally, are intentional. No, you don't get to know their real ones.

- She doesn't like skirts as much as pants because have you tried to wear a skirt on a motorcycle?

- She got the pipe from a smoke shop that with an older man as a shop owner. She traded three kisses to get a good discount and then ignored the shopkeeper. She only smokes tobacco in it, and only a very mild blend. She smokes Marlbros if she's smoking cigarettes.

- Benkei can drink people under the table if they stick to beer, wine or sake. Mixed drinks are her downfall, however, and she's known to be spectacularly wasted after the third.
