NPCs of Hitorashi Kanon

[Hitorashi Kanon]

NPC's Name: Yoshito Ryuu

NPC's Gender: Male

NPC's Age: 16

NPC's Status: To put it simply, Ryuu is Kanon's brother by adoption.

Any Other Notes: When he was six years old, Ryuu had gone through a tragedy in his life. His mother and father had passed away due to illness. Being that the Hitorashi's had been so close with his family, they had made Kanon's mother and father Ryuu's godmother and godfather. Thus, Ryuu was to live with them. This was stated clearly in their will. From now on, Yoshito Ryuu was to live with the Hitorashi family as their son.

It took two years for a friendship to form between the new brother and sister, but, by age fourteen, Ryuu had become good friends with the fifteen-year-old Kanon. He always had decent confidence in her vocal abilities, but, of course, he would coat his pride with sarcasm most of the time.

By chance, Ryuu had become friends with a boy who's family was in the career track of street performance. They would travel from place to place, performing for villages along the way. The boy's name was Motoki Kei. Kei and Ryuu became very good friends. Soon enough, Ryuu brought up the subject of Kanon's singing. Coincidently, the troupe was looking for a new vocalist. Kei told Ryuu that he would have Kanon sing for the troupe's lead vocalist, Jeisho Seiko.

Ryuu had no doubt that Kanon would be accepted into the troupe. This would mean she would have to leave her family--including him. He gave her a silver locket before she went to audition. Inside the locket was a picture of himself. The two joked that they shared one personality trait; the two were rather egotistic.

Ryuu had always been the more sarcastic of the two. He would joke on occasion, yet, he could tell when Kanon was at her limit and would stop before she murdered him. The two were great friends; in all actuality, they were brother and sister, too. Kanon has been gone for two years now. Ryuu has stayed in Konohagakure the entire time. He now has an appartment of his own, but, it's not too far off from the Hitorashi household.

Ryuu knows that if Kanon were to come to Konoha, he'd see her. He doesn't worry about her never coming back, for, that would be foolish. After all, the troupe had to pass through the Leaf Village sooner or later.

Yep. They all start with "K", and that makes me happy. xD Well, that's it for Ryuu as far as I'm concerned. =P]

[Hitorashi Kanon]

NPC's Name: Motoki Harosheim

NPC's Gender: Male

NPC's Age: 43

NPC's Status: Harosheim is the leader of the Motoki Performance Troupe. He is the husband of Reiko and father of Kei.

Any Other Notes: Harosheim, the male leader of the Motoki Performance Troupe, is very encouraging of his acts, yet, he's also very rough on them. He drives them to practice hard and do well for shows. He's kindly when they do a good job. He often is very rewarding and offers good incentive. He pays his performers, but scantly. He believes that his performers should earn their own pay in tips and such. Granted, that's incentive for them to work hard, but, it's also a reason to be a bit sore toward Harosheim.

He tells his performers to address him as either Harosheim-sama, Haro-sama, or Sensei. He seems very stern and bland upon appearance. He likes to seem as if he's very professional. To the majority's surprise, when in the privacy of the Motoki Troupe's tent, he can be rather funny, occasionally making jokes to lift the spirit of his underlings. He's often teased by his wife, Reiko, and

NPC's Name: Motoki Reiko

NPC's Gender: Female

NPC's Age: 38

NPC's Status: Reiko is the wife of Motoki Harosheim and co-leader of the Motoki Performance Troupe.

Any Other Notes: A loving mother, a caring wife, yet, a strong leader. Reiko is the female head of the Motoki Performance Troupe. She tends to treat the troupe members like her children--no mater what age they are--and tends to become defensive over them. She can be very strong when she wants to be, and also very delicate upon will. She dances with the troupe when they practice, and sometimes even for the shows.

She tends to baby her son, Kei, which she knows gets on his nerves. She can't really help it, however, being she just wants to be there for her son to catch him if he falls or to patch up his wounds.

In front of crowds, Reiko can be very charismatic. She has a dazzling smile, and her eyes seem to twinkle when she's happily taking a bow, or talking about how the troupe has been a crowd-pleaser for generations and has provided the talented youth (no matter how old that youth be), with endless opportunities to let their talents shine.

[[Once again, I can fill in for Reiko when needed. If anyone wants to play her, she's open for RP as well. Contact me-- kat, kat2, kanon.]]

NPC's Name: Motoki Kei

NPC's Gender: Male

NPC's Age: 18

NPC's Status: Kei is the son of Reiko and Harosheima. He is also the heir to the Motoki performance troupe.

Any Other Notes: Being his mother and father are the heads of the troupe, Kei always seems to be pushing himself. He wants to become better and better. His goal is to be a good leader for the troupe, and finds the best way to accomplish this will be to master all of the acts, or, at least get a good idea of what occurs during the acts.

He helps out with vocals on occasion, but is often jokingly ridiculed by the Motoki Troupe vocalists, being he isn't nearly as good as they would want him to be. This often gets him angry, but, he never loses his determination to be the best vocalist he possibly could be.

More so often than he sings, Kei dances. Kei isn't too bad in the dancing field and his help there is often appreciated. He loves to watch as the vocalists roll their eyes in disgust as he earns applause from the crowd.

Still, more than anything, Kei is learning the business from Harosheima by talking to him often and asking questions whenever the time seems right. He gets a bit mad at Reiko when she babies him, but can't help but turn to her for advice on how to boost one's charisma.

Kei's best friend is Yoshito Ryuu, whom he hasn't seen in quite a long time. He met Ryuu when the troupe was in Konoha. The two hit it off very well. When Ryuu told him that he had a sister who could sing, Kei was quite interested, being that the troupe needed a vocalist at the time. Of course, his ego soared when he found Kanon, thus, solving the troupe's problem with the lack of a vocalist. He and Kanon became friends, and the two often talk.

[Hitorashi Kanon]

NPC's Name: {Katainu} Tsukomei

NPC's Gender: Female

NPC's Age: 23

NPC's Status: Head Vocalist of the Motoki Performance Troupe

Any Other Notes: Tsukomei is an odd girl. Her family didn't want her to join the troupe, saying that they were nothing but a bunch of uncivilized cattle. She simply laughed, patted her mother on the head and said, "Well, Katainu-san, thanks for nothing." She then stole the bottle of sake her father was holding, drank it down, and ran off with the troupe. Of course, she dropped her clan name, being she found it to be a disgrace. "Ple~ase. The fat man and old hag didn't do anything but bring me into existence." That being said, the other troupe members began to reconsider allowing her to be part of the group.

This all changed when they heard her voice.

Tsukomei has a beautiful voice. "When she sings, even the most sickly of flowers bloom again!" Reiko once told Kei when he asked why his father let her join.

When Kanon sang for Tsukomei in hopes of joining, the odd girl stood up from her chair and applauded. "Behold! The new singer of the Motoki Troupe! You, my girl, are gonna be my apprentice." This confused Kanon rather much.

From then on, Kanon and Tsukomei became like sisters. Tsukomei does everything she can to show Kanon the way of the business. She likes Kanon around, yet waits for the day that Kanon will surpass her singing abilities.
