Biography/History:
Hikaru lived with her mother. Her father died in a crash when she was five. They said he died sleeping on the wheel and because he always worked, Hikaru really deosn't know who her father is. It hasn't been bothering her much either since her mom doesn't say anything about it. When Hikaru brings it up, her mom gets unhappy and angry - so she stopped asking. Hikaru's mom has the bright aburn hair too. Her eyes used to be green before she died and after she had, Hikaru had a roan red color that dwelled in the green - possibly from her cataracts bleeding as she had died. After her father died, Hikaru moved with her mother somewhere else. She had always avoided other people and didn't make many friends, but she felt better by herself.
They lived in a good neighborhood supposed. Hikaru played soccer from time to time - but she didn't join a team. She only went to a practice once just to see it. That's where she met her friend Kj who was one of the only people she hung out with. He was good in school, good marks and stuff. Her mom thought it would be nice for Hikaru to be around people that could help raise her grades and maybe get her into a few activities so she wouldn't be home alone so much. Hikaru and her new friend got along well. This was in third grade and by the time she was 16, Kj managed to get her into playing cello - in return, he had to do some martial arts with her. The music calmed her mind and Hikaru felt more open to doing new things. She had made a few other friends too, but Kj would always be the first to know when she was having a problem.
Her mother had always worked as a waitress in a restaurant as a part time job so she could finish some education. When she did, she was able to apply for a better job and she did. Hikaru was happy for her mom but was infuriated that there was a chance they might have to move again. Though the first time they moved she was okay because she didn't know anyone anyways, but now she had friends and people she cared about. They both got into a fight, but her mother made it clear that Hikaru could stay for a week, but she was not sure if they can stay any longer than that. As that was finished, her mother headed for the scheduled location of her new job. She was going to come back in a week.
Hikaru wasn't content about the solution, but also felt bad that she had to cause so much trouble. Her mom was in college for about 6 years just to try and get a better life for them both, why screw it up? She decided that maybe she can change the way people feel about her so she could leave and no one would care. She quit everything, her Cello lessons, Karate and ignored the people she knew in school. When she saw Kj moving around in the hall, Hikaru would walk as fast as she could. But she knew how Kj was and knew he was going to find her sooner or later and get mad. But maybe he wouldn't care was all Hikaru thought. Like she thought, in 2 days out of the 7, Kj managed to get into Hikaru's house through a unlocked window. He asked for answers but Hikaru didn't answer. For the next 3 hours, Hikaru was the one that ended up getting irritated and told her friend to leave. He told her that they were still going to be friends as he left. She hated that. It just made it harder for her to deal with the fact that she was going to move and someone will miss her.
For the next 2 days, Hikaru continued to ignore. When she saw Kj, he seemed to know that she didn't want to talk yet and just smiled and waved - then moved to his class. After school when she went home, she flipped on some music and decided to drown out some outside distractions. Hikaru decided that maybe she should just tell Kj what's up. It would save her the stress and she was already getting alot of it. Her grades are crashing and she misses the music. Hikaru headed out the door for her friend's house, doing a slight jog. While she was heading there, she sees a small girl on a red bike riding by her. A car came skidding by and slammed into a few trash cans. It came towards Hikaru and the little girl. She ran up to the kid and tried to pick her up so they could get out of the way, but as her fingers went through the girl as if she was made of thin air - Hikaru blinked in surprise. She didn't hear the car hit her and almost rip her apart as the music in her ears was too loud.
