[Character name] Saki "Hana-chan" Hanajima
[Age] 16-17
[Canon] Fruits Basket
[Point in time taken from canon] Volume 9

[Background] Here.

[Personality]
At first glance, Hana-chan looks like an indifferent and distant goth girl, stereotypically dark and gloomy. Unfortunately, her power of 'wave' does not help the situation any. But this persona was established because of her childhood where she was tormented by "voices" that invaded her mind and hurt by apprehension her peers demonstrated at her seeminlgy extraordinary behavior. Things got out of hand when a boy from her class forced her to eat a frog. At that moment she became so enraged that she put him in coma for several years with her powers.

Believing that it was her crime and her responsibility to atone for what she has done, Saki started wearing black clothes and black nail polish. Until she met Tohru and Uo, she continued to push through severe bullying. Of course, her personality remarkably brightened when she befriended her current best friends. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that they changed her dark and gloomy world into something warmer, kinder. Needless to say her two friends and her loving family who helped her pull through those dark times are very precious to her.

Saki tends to show her emotions very subtly, but that doesn't mean she isn't capable of bein emotional. Her actions or words show what she is feeling quite well if one is paying attention. Perhaps the only time she ever showed her emotions straightforward is when Yuki's fan club insulted Tohru and she insulted Yuki in return. However, she does have a keen eye for observing other people's emotions and is thoughtful/respectful of others. As she is well aware that people's heart can be easily hurt.

Typically, she likes to tease people with her powers or being suspiciously ambigious. The teasing's usual victims are Yuki's fan club - she gives them a taste of her powers - but usually, they freak out even though Saki didn't do anything at all. However, she does seem to enjoy spreading a little friendly fear in their hearts as she thinks "they are cute." She also likes to joke with her little brother, Megumi - which at most times, doesn't look like jokes.

However, the most importnat point to Saki is that although she does have mysterious power and have gone through a lot in her short life, a large part of her is still a teenage girl who likes to goof off during marathons, eat her favorite food, and joke around with her friends.

[Abilities]
The nature of her wave power isn't explained in-depth. She had it since her birth and learned to control it before enrolling in high school. I am assuming she is like a human radar where she can intercept other people's "waves" and emit a strong wave in return, often causing headaches Saki's comical victims experience. It is said without doubt that her powers can be extremely fatal to the receiver when used without control. However, she isn't likely to use it to such extent, unless the situation is that dire.

Usually, Saki uses her abilities to find people. It's quite effective when trying to find someone but the areas to cover are large(i.e. school).

[Other important stuff]
*Black makes her feel at ease.
*Has bad grades. So bad that her mother cried. This improved when summer break rolls on by. Since she didn't want to take remedial lessons over the summer.

[Sample post]
[First Person]
- If you could have any super ability, what would it be and why?
*She thinks about this a for long moment as if she is very serious.* ... A beam that makes a hot meal out of thin air. It'll be very handy.
- If I offered to save your soul for a price, would you go with it and why?
I would refuse. Something like 'soul' ... it shouldn't be saved by someone else. They can help, but in the end, you need save yourself.
- What is more important to you: having friends or living on your own? Why?
Comparing the times when I did and did not have friends ... I would have to choose having friends. It's much more fun that way. *she calmly closes her eyes and smiles.*
- You are on the verge of death. You know there is no way to survive and there's no coming back. Choose any of the following to answer: What is your last wish? Your last regret? Last thoughts? How do you feel? Who is the last person you think of other than your killer?
I would probably regret ... not telling him that I am sorry for what I've done. I haven't mustred enough courage to tell him that yet. *a pause.* And wonder if Megumi will be okay on his own. My, talking about my own death is rather depressing.
- Murder. What is your opinion?
It's horrible deed, and murders should atone for it. .... Even if they didn't mean to.
- You have two options: either save your friend who is hanging from a cliff, or chase after the bad guy who put them in a position. If you choose the former, the bad guy will get away and it will be hard to catch him. If you choose the latter, the cliff will crumble and the friend will fall to the spiky rocks below. What do you do and why?
You do realize I don't need to move at all to catch the bad guy right ...? *There is a dark aura looming over her as she gives a glance. Or maybe it's our imagination. It's rather hard to tell.* As I am helping my friend, I'll just give them a 'taste' and they will think twice before doing something like that to my friend again.
- You are suddenly told you are the child of an ancient prophecy to save the world. How do you feel? Will you embark on your journey? Or would you rather shove it onto someone else and run away? Explain.
... That would explain a lot of thing actually. *Saki looks away with her hand over mouth thoughtfully. Is she joking? Maybe or maybe not.* It's hard to answer that kind of question ... But since I have many things I want to protect in the world, I guess have to start the journey. How troublesome.

[Third Person]
The ice cream here didn't taste too bad.

She concluded as she walked around the city, a popiscle in one hand. It had been about a week since she arrived to Somarium. The world of dreams was an interesting place; it was no bigger than Tokyo but contained many extraordinary people. Even she looked like slightly dark teenage girl when standing next to some of the citizens here. And for some reason, Tohru and some of the Sohmas were here. She wasn't complaining about it though. She was glad she wasn't completely alone here.

So it wasn't so bad.

Saki continued eating her ice cream, expressionless as usual. She stopped in front of the traffic light as it turned red (... come to think of it, they have cars here?). Her mind on its own record thought of her family back home. Megumi might like this ice cream. Mom and Dad might be wondering why she's sleeping in. Grandmother must be out with her friends. Those kind of thoughts kept popping inside her head.

'I must be homesick ...'

She gave a small sigh and finished the popiscle. But she couldn't go back home yet, she conclued yet again. Now that she knew Tohru was here, she needed to make sure she would be safe. Kyou Sohma wouldn't treated her badly - she knew that, but she couldn't help be worried about Tohru's well-being. The other girl's caring personality must have been rubbed off on her. She was uncertain and even a little fearful of Somarium, but knowing that Tohru was here made her stronger.

When the lights turned green, she walked forward.

First, she needed to find more about this place.

[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] Well her best friend is in Somarium, and I have always wanted to play her with a good cast. Never got around to it until now. sob.
