Character: Himemiya Chikane
Series: Kannazuki no Miko
Character Age: 16
Canon: What magical girl series is complete without lesbian priestesses battling the forces of evil in space? Certainly not Kannazuki no Miko, the tale of Japanese schoolgirls Himemiya Chikane and Kurusugawa Himeko, whose connection with one another is enough to not only transcend the boundaries of status and gender, but also to entice the powerful and destructive group known as the Orochi to try and kill them. On the eve of their sixteenth birthdays, Chikane and Himeko discover that their lives are about to change drastically, as they are revealed to be the legendary priestesses of the Sun and Moon, destined to gain miraculous powers and protect the world from its destruction. Thrust into positions of power they never dreamt possible, both girls soon discover that they have another obstacle to overcome along with everything else: their intense feelings for one another.
Beautiful, graceful, talented, and quietly reserved, Himemiya Chikane is widely considered to be the princess of Ototachibana Academy. She excels in both academics and extra-curricular activities, practicing such talents as piano, archery, and charming pretty girls with her smile. To the outside world, Chikane's wealth and good looks make her a model student. Inside, however, she is conflicted by how everyone seems to treat her as though she is perfect. She rarely confides in anyone, and though she may put on a polite face and show kindness to others, no one in her life will look at her beyond her accomplishments and good looks. It's not until she meets Himeko that Chikane learns how to show how she really feels: sad, lonely, but with a deep sense of compassion for others. After discovering the honest kindness in Himeko, Chikane begins to open up and trust others, as well as beginning to believe in herself.
Sample Post:
That was quite a fall you took. Are you alright? Here, I'll help you walk. Just grab onto my shoulders -- and don't worry about getting my uniform dirty. You can't help your skin condition, I know. It's just the way you are. I know what it's like not having the power to change your problems... it's frightening, and a lot of times you want to run away and hide, but if you can embrace all the things about you, troublesome or not, you'll grow into a stronger and better person. Do you think you can do that, GrYaargh-san? I'm willing to help you every step of the way. I may only be a girl... but if I can help someone overcome their problems, I'd like to think that maybe, just maybe, my life has gained some meaning.
Though... perhaps I've presumed too much. My apologies. We can talk about all of that later. If you're still hurting from the impact, it might be best to have a doctor look at you. You don't have to be shy about your problem; doctors are there to help people, aren't they? It's their job. We must all admit that we need help sometimes, otherwise there will be obstacles we'll never overcome. It's not a bad thing to depend on others, I think. After all, it's when we make friendships and acquaintances that we learn new things about the world, and how other people have experienced it. The pursuit of knowledge is a noble thing, don't you agree? But, I've gotten ahead of myself once again. Ha ha, I suppose we should take care of your leg first. I'm not a physician, but I do know basic first aid. Maybe it would be best if we got it bandaged, to keep the swelling down. I don't know how far it is to the nearest hospital, and we don't want your condition to get worse. Here, lie down, okay? I don't have a first aid kit with me, but if I rip my skirt, I can use the strips as makeshift bandages. It'll have to do for now. Don't worry about my skirt, I don't mind being a little exposed. What's important is that you're okay.
There. Is that too tight? You can tell me if I'm hurting you. I want to become the kind of person you can trust, GrYaargh-san. Not just as the person you fell for -- literally -- but as a person who helps others. I know I must not be very capable, but as long as I try, I think I can make a difference in the lives of others. ... Maybe that's arrogant of me, to think I can do that. You're the person who knows yourself best, aren't you? I'm sorry, GrYaargh-san. Let me just tighten your bandage a little bit so it doesn't fall off, and then we'll --
-- GrYaargh-san! Are you okay? I-I didn't -- I didn't think I'd tied it so tight your whole leg would come off! I'm so sorry! We need to take you to a doctor right away! I'm sorry... I shouldn't have thought I could save you... and now I've only made things worse. Maybe this is how it should be -- maybe it would be best to not interfere in the lives of others, to let them learn how to cope with the hurdles life presents to them on their own. No... no, it doesn't seem right. It isn't right to just leave people who need help all on their own, when they're crying out for salvation and no one will listen! I've lived too long ignoring the needs of others, and it's nearly cost me everything. Never again will I abandon someone who needs my support. Don't worry, GrYaargh-san. I vow that I will save you, no matter what it takes. I promise. Even if it's selfish of me, and even if I end up making things worse for you, what truly matters is that I tried, didn't I? Yes... I tried. I've tried so hard, and I've gotten so far, and in the end... I will make it matter.
