AU NAME: Hikari Kamiki
AU AGE: 35
PHYSICAL DIFFERENCES: Instead of her canon form of a wolf, Hikari is a healthy 35 year old Japanese woman, with long black hair and dark brown eyes.
AU HISTORY:
• Hikari was born into a very old, traditional, rich, distinguished, influential, etc family in Japan. Nobody really knows why she was born mute, and while a lot of her childhood was spent going to this doctor or that one, after a point she put her foot down, thinking it pointless to try and 'fix' herself. After all, her inability to speak had never stopped her from expressing herself in different ways, with facial expressions, energetic body language, and half-sounds from her throat. She learned Japanese Sign Language, and things got even easier after she made a childhood friend who usually correctly interpreted and voiced her thoughts for her.
• While this happened, her grandfather Haru "Shiranui" Kamiki took an interest in her, and started grooming her interest and creativity in drawing into a serious passion for the sumi-e (ink wash painting) arts, which he was already famous for. Though she suspected it was a way to negate the 'oddness' of her muteness in the eyes of the public, Hikari proved to be a natural artistic genius, and greatly enjoyed her lessons even so. Her earliest works sold at prices up to the tens of thousands, with price tags getting higher and higher the older, more skilled, and more famous she got.
• Because her family was so traditional, however, as well as protective of her, she was home schooled for many years, and lived a rather sheltered life. It was rare for her to leave the Kamiki estate or its grounds, and this became a source of much inner conflict during her teenage years. In one direction was the safety and stability of her home, the familiar traditions of the Kamiki clan. In the other, there was the great outdoors and thus the great unknown, the infinite possibilities and discoveries to be made. Hikari could never figure out which one she wanted more.
• Around the time she was 20, she agreed to try an omiai (traditional matchmaking custom) to find a partner. Many were drawn to her because of her family's wealth and her beauty, of course, but as for her? Hikari was drawn to only one man-- her future husband to be, who dazzled her with his deep love of life and traveling, his charm and kindness, and his ability to make her laugh. They honeymooned for months, going to different parts of the world and finally giving Hikari her first taste of what lay beyond the walls of her home, hand in hand with someone who made her feel safe and wanted. After the honeymoon, though, her husband had to return to his work and business affairs which kept him away from the Kamiki etate for weeks at a time. Their relationship remained as affectionate and strong despite this, and eventually Hikari gave birth to a son when she was 25. She and the other clan members raised him while her husband was away.
• She was very lonely without her husband there to enjoy parenthood with her, but distracted herself with her first child and being the best mommy she could be. Realizing that she was very well suited to motherhood she started musing over the idea of having another child. But her absent husband made that a bit difficult, so what to do?
• Adopt, of course. Her husband was fine with it, but her grandfather insisted against it at first, as heads of clans are wont to do. She was too stubborn for him, though, so he finally caved on the condition that he got to teach her new child sumi-e. Unfortunately for him, her first adopted child didn't take to sumi-e very well, but was discovered to be an excellent calligrapher instead, earning the nickname Yomigami in the household and in artist circles, so Shiranui was pleased and their family was happy.
• Hikari's heart was just too big for such a small family, though. She wanted so many more little children running around the halls of the Kamiki estate. The year after she adopted another child who already showed promise in kendo, and like his sibling before him he got the nickname Tachigami.
• Hikari continued adopting children like this, whether purposely through the orphanage or by the odd chance of encountering them elsewhere, until she has a staggering fifteen children, all making names for themselves despite their young ages. She loves all of them fiercely and takes immense pride in their accomplishments.
• Fast foward to when she's 35. Most of her adopted kids are old enough to be in college or high school now, and even her biological son is 10 and eager to follow in his siblings' footsteps. Hikari gets word from her husband that the new Kamiki estate in America, built as summer home for Shiranui in his retirement, has been finished, and Shiranui is planning one of the biggest family celebrations the Kamiki family has known to date there. So she packs her and her translator's and her first son's bags, tells her other children to come when they can, and then makes her way to Recollé. Where she's pretty much just soaking up American culture and being a lazy bum at the Kamiki estate when she's not churning out new sumi-e works inspired by her new surroundings.
