[History]: here

[Personality]: 

Minori. That's the name of a peculiar young woman, who is known as a "holy woman", in the place she's from. Raised in a temple, Minori actually isn't very religious. She believes in spirits of the dead coming back in the form of trees, or animals, or perhaps even a rock. She is always grateful to those that help her, and believes in being nice, and that being nice will reward you, one day. It might not be rewarded right away, of course, but with patience and good deeds, you'll one day reach your wishes or dreams. So Minori is a very kind person, who dislikes seeing people get hurt. She has often made it her business to stop fights, and she does so by talking. She really dislikes using violence, and thinks that disputes does not have to be solved that way. Because what she most of all believe in, is that people are actually nice, deep down. Sadly, she has yet to prove this, but that doesn't mean that she'll top believing. She thinks that one day, the world will be at peace, and people won't fight over every little thing. And this comes from a woman who lives in a country that was filled with feuds when she lived there. Dangerous lies and fighting is something seen every day. Her heart is very pure, though, and maybe that's why she still can believe in people, even after she's been proved wrong.

Minori is a woman who has a great deal of determination, who wants to fulfill her wish of saving her village, no matter if it takes time, or how many obstacles she has to overcome. She's a woman who trusts rather than don't trust, even if she sees proof of her belives being wrong. Because she is incredibly sure that no person is completely evil, and that everytong can feel a little kindness to at least someone, even if not everyone can feel kindness toward everyone.

Even though she is kind, though, she doesn't think that pranks in all good faith and that doesn't hurt anyone, are completely alright, without your karma being damaged, or without it coming back to bite you in the rear. Not badly, at least. She loves having fun, see, and it's one of her goals in life. To have fun, and live a cheerful, bright life. If she sees someone gloomy, she can't help but try to cheer them up, even if it might involve pushing them into a river, or throwing a fish in their face. Her sense of humor can be a bit peculiar, too. She loves jokes, and when she laughs, she really laughs. Her laugh even sounds really odd and funny; uhyahyahya! it is. That might not seem very ladylike, though, and not many believe her when she tells them that she actually is regarded as holy in her village. Not even her best friend thinks that she's in any way holy. But then he's her favorite victim, because she thinks that he's way too gloomy, and needs to smile more. A goal is to make this best friend of hers, Hikae, a cheerful man, who can smile from his heart. No matter how long it takes, she is determined to make this happen, and she's sure that she will manage. She's stubborn, after all, and will not give up even if people tell her otherwise.

She's cheerful and it seems as if she's almost always smiling. She does love a good laugh, after all, and she prefers being cheerful, over being upset over something. She loves adventures, and by traveling, she has seen so many amazing things. She wishes to always travel, even though she has a set goal that she wants to reach, with the trip that made her leave her village. Because her village was in trouble, she decided to go and find the Kokonotsu, God's Treasure, and to use it to save her village. Because the Kokonotsu is supposed to grant a wish of yours, any wish, and she doesn't mind putting herself through hardships for the sake of others. But sometimes, she's a bit too little un-holy-like. Because she likes to gamble. And she's good at it, too. She's won many matches, and she's even won part of the Kokonotsu through gambling. She doesn’t consider gambling a bad thing, and doesn't consider it a game where you trick and read your opponent. Even when she does just that. Because to her, it's a game of luck, and luck gives you ways to win, right? It does help that she has exceptionally good ears thanks to an ear cuff she wears, though. After all, it's luck being able to hear the way the dice falls inside the little basket, right?

But she's also good at talking, and then I don't only mean in a joking manner. After all, she has managed to convince people to give er trade her Kokonotsu treasures, and she has been able to stop fights just by talking. She's a skilled diplomat, which is surprising for everyone when the side she always shows is her laughing side. She doesn't like being serious after all. But if she has to, she will be serious, and she will be a mediator between arguing parties, if need so be. Because fighting is boring, it's much nicer to get along.
