H A I R
- Kozakura has extremely long and thick golden orange hair that reaches down her full back in waves. She finds it annoying, but her mom has never let her cut it, so she's a bit attatched to it now. She often puts it up in a pony tail, but the elastics always break on her.
E Y E S
- Her eyes have always been a little larger then usual. They're amber in color and goes from a lighter shade to a darker shade from the iris.
H E I G H T
- Standing at an extremely petite 5 ft., Ko is often ridiculed for her height. She still holds hope that she will have a sudden growth spurt.
W E I G H T
- Ko weighs 95 lbs.
O T H E R
- Ko radiates a certain feminine and delicate look, and her tiny body frame has made her particularly frail. Her skin is pale, but has a faint soft glow from being in the sun (though, she's not in the sun very often.) Even though she's eighteen, some describe her as looking much younger, to Ko's dismay. Her mother always tried to make her feel better about it by telling her she'd be grateful for it when she was older. She has no distinctive scars or marks on her body, other then a daisy shaped birthmark on her right wrist, as well as the large back body tattoo she will have once the awakening of the reincarnated Gods happen.

P E R S O N A L I T Y
╔═══════════════════════════════════════╗
xxx✦ Innocent ✧ Short-tempered ✦ Selfless ✧ Lively ✦ Stubborn ✦
╚═══════════════════════════════════════╝
- Kozakura is quite the odd one. She hides what may be her true nature behind a jumble of protective barriers. This is partly because of her very delicate and youthful appearance. As she was growing up, people had a tendency to think of her as an easy target – some naïve girl that could be a play toy and would never ask questions because she was so pure. She used to be like that as young child but learned quickly that it was dangerous. She doesn’t want to seem like she can be pushed around, and has morphed her personality so she can seem as dominant as possible. In all honesty, she is still a very innocent minded person, so it makes some social situations quite difficult. She get’s embarrassed rather easily, and is a very popular target for teasing, as she lets it get to her. She can’t even take a compliment without getting flustered and defensive.
Throughout the years, Kozakura’s temper has increasingly been getting shorter. She is very passionate person, either loving something with all her heart or hating it with all her heart, but sometimes she just channels that passion wrong. Her friends used to say she was like a scrappy little kitten; aggressive, but still all too adorable to take serious. Of course, that made her temper rise a little more, but also caused the prominent embarrassment that was so easily shown by the vivid redness that wells in her cheeks. Of course, Kozakura isn’t an all around angry person. She’s actually quite a sweet and lively girl who's happy most of the day, it’s just she lets things get under her skin. There’s a big difference between her hot-headedness and her true anger. She’s a sensitive girl and when her true emotions come into play, she feels them with all her being and it shows to others.
This passion of hers makes her a very good friend to have and a very nasty enemy to those who engage her wrong side. She’s entirely selfless. She doesn’t want to see anyone hurt or unhappy who’s not deserving of it. Though she may not make a big deal out of her helpfulness due to her embarrassed nature, she would help anyone of her friends, or even a kind stranger, with anything they need and would protect them with all she had. Just as long as they don’t mention it, that is. If you're kind, it doesn't matter to her who you are, she'll be kind back.
Kozakura all around is just a very lively girl. She’s got a personality filled to the brim, and though introverted seeming at first, those she let’s into her personal bubble knows she’s quite the extrovert. She’s relentless and stubborn in her opinions, and it’s very hard to sway her attitude. This can get a little aggravating in itself for some people, as she can’t get out of her head and is hard to convince much of anything.

- Growing up, Kozakura had a very happy childhood. She would even go as far as calling it normal, but then again, who’s family is really normal. Ko lives right at the edge of a large city in Japan at her family’s shrine, passed down through her Father’s lineage. She didn’t always live there, however. When she was six years old and her baby brother Akira was just born, her paternal grandfather collapsed and had a heart attack. Making a unified decision, Ko, Akira, as well as her Mother and Father moved into the Family Shrine with her Grandfather in order to keep and eye on his health. She loved it there. There was a lot of open space, and it wasn’t too far away from the city for her too take a bus and go to school there. Her father was even able to keep his job at one of the local vet clinics. With the added space the shrine gave her family, her father had more leeway to bring home wounded animals and adopt them. He took full advantage of that throughout the years.
Kozakura school life was a little less normal. During elementary school, she was always kind and outgoing, easily making friends, but found out later that they often made fun of her behind her back and used her for whatever they wanted without her even knowing it. She was all too trusting. By the end of her elementary school years, she was pushed and shoved around and she finally broke. In middle school, Kozakura shut herself off from everyone and focused on her studies. She practically became a recluse and brushed everyone off with sarcastic comments. The only good thing that came out of those few years was the fact that she got quite intelligent. She was the top of her class. Of course, people from her elementary school still tried using her thinking she was the naïve little girl she used to be. One day after school while she was walking home, she was cornered by three boys in her class who attempted to rob her. She thought it was the most peculiar thing ever. She was a classmate of there’s, and one who didn’t seem like she had much money. She told them directly to get lost, but one snatched her bag out of her hand while the others held her back so she wouldn’t grab it back. Of course, she fought back, biting and kicking with all her might (which against the weight of the boys was clearly not enough). In the end, they freaked out not expecting her to fight back and literally tossed her away, taking anything of value in her bag. Being the sack of frail bones she was, she broke and arm and leg from the force of their toss. Thankfully, they were stupid enough to think she would willingly give them her money in the first place in fear, never to tell as soul. She easily identified them to the police. Even to this day, if she over exerts her arm or leg, they hurt and seize up.
Right before Kozakura was set to begin high school, something shattered her small little world. At the closing ceremony of her school, she unexpectedly got called out by the staff with an important message. It turns out that her mother, who didn’t have a job and just stayed home at the temple tending to it, went into the city for some milk and while crossing the street a person hit her with his car. She died in the hospital without Kozakura ever seeing her again. Her mother was the one person Ko could talk to without fear of judgment, and now that safety was gone. For a while, Kozakura could barely do a thing, but through the love and support of her family, she grew to be herself again. Partially.
High school wasn’t as bad as the rest of the years. She chose only a few quality friends, and although she’s still not fully open, she cares about them. Everything she does, she does in the hope her mother would be proud. It’s her motivation.

Wooden floors, walls and window sills...
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust...
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home...
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until you disappear
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust...
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees
By the cracks of his skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
Held on as tightly as you held onto me
Held on as tightly as you held onto me...
And, I built a home
For you
For me
Until you disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust.
