An emotional, shy young Japanese woman whose life was pushed off track with the car in the accident that killed her first and last love and handicapped her.
Hisa has always been extremely shy and empathic; she is always willing to lend a hand, comfort others, and thinks of those around her before herself. Known to keep giving beyond what she can, Hisa is also known to overreact, especially where emotions are concerned. She is meek and sensitive and easily manipulated, her biggest flaw being her incredible ability to trust and the benefit of doubt she gives to each and every one around her. This can make her seem sometimes innocent or naive, though that is far from the case. She loves animals and children and takes on a predominantly maternal role with those around her once she can get past her initial timidity.
Hisa carries no weapons as of yet; however, her pacifistic nature would probably prevent her from having any at all.
Instead of a purse she walks around with a fanny pack, which contains all her essentials like a wallet, ID, license, etcetera.
Hisa grew up in Japan, born to loving parents in a middle-class home. However, when she was fourteen, things started to go awry. Her first and last boyfriend had been older then herself, and they had been driving. But Jiro had had an addiction to danger, and despite Hisa's pleading for him to slow down, he disregarded and ended up in a crash with herself riding shotgun as the only other passenger. In the end, Jiro died, and Hisa was left alive with the only major injury being the loss of the use of her left hand. Not only did it hamper her for being left-handed and not being able to pursue her dream to become a famous manga artist, but Hisa blamed herself for the whole accident.
With the immense happiness their daughter once bloomed in ebbing away to be replaced with despair, Hisa's parents' marriage declined in condition until finally they got a divorce, which further plunged their daughter into a depression.
In an attempt to escape her troubles, Hisa diverted off of her initial course to finish college and moved to the U.S. when she was eighteen. There, with her high school diploma in hand, she got work as a waitress at a bar and then later at a nicer restaurant, a little Japanese place, where she made a meager living for one off of generous tips, living, if not happily, in resigned contentment.
However, it was ultimately the fact of Hisa's blatant refusal to ever set foot in a private vehicle again that killed her.
