Chiisai
Meaning: Small
Chiisai personally chose Chii from the vast selection of pets at the emporium in her first year. The owl was particularly enthusiastic at the prospect of a new owner, and knocked its cage over in its exuberance. The sight was a funny one, and the small, saw whett owl was rewarded with a new owner and a perfectly fitting name.

Fox Club || Hana did not fail to catch the curious teacher's interest in her very first year at Orion, and, after displaying impressive talent and untapped potential, he decided that she was worth 'collecting' for his little get-togethers.
Duelling Club || Although, in most cases, conflict isn't something that Hana particularly enjoys, she was urged to attend the club by her DatDA teacher, Professor Maddox. She chose to give it a go, and found herself enjoying the thrill of the duel, as well as the different skills and techniques it taught her.
Astronomy Club || Less out of adoration for the subject and more because of her personal love of stargazing, Hana finds the night sky beautiful, and the company -typically- pleasant.

Hana is, in many ways, what you might expect of a Centaurus. The house's motto 'We seek enlightenment' is perfectly fitting, in more ways than one. Hana enjoys learning, and has an impressive knack for storing away even the vaguest and most forgettable pieces of trivia or lecture in the vast library that is her cloudy-skied psyche. She is inquisitive, the sort to ask questions when she doesn't understand, rather than stand back in silence, concerned over what her classmates might think of her if she shows herself actually, heaven forbid, enjoying a school lesson. She is a paradox in that, when in a class, she can be quiet, fascinated, and conscientious, but when among her friends and family, she is bubbly and bright, one of the late night's constellations. She doesn't really like being the center of attention, but doesn't shy away from spotlight if she feels she would benefit the most from such, and is perfectly content with public speaking and the like. Although she can chat to those she knows, social situations are certainly not her forte, and if the conversation turns to something she isn't particularly learned in, such as idle gossip or celebrity-related rumors, she will quickly fade into the background, or even stray away from the source of her ineptitude in search of something or someone a little more suitable to exchange pleasantries in.
Romantically, she is hardly a professional, as she possesses a certain naivete when it comes to the art of flirting. She herself is pitiful in such an area, both due to her lack of experience and also her lack of interest. She can't recall ever having a crush, save for the occasional fluttering in the gut, an ailment that has not occurred in the past three or so years. As for flirtations directed in her direction, they tend to go right over her head, much to the ire of her friends, who often shun her on being quite so dim as to not notice when someone likes her.
Hana is a kind individual, possessing a number of traits that could easily paint her in the form of an ideal mother, or older sister. Perhaps this comes from experience, what with her having her own younger sister, who she adores. She is compassionate, easily able to show and feel sympathy towards the plights of others, and protective when it comes to those close to her, unafraid of standing up for them and their pride if such a thing is threatened through bullying, threats, teases, or insults. She can be quite unintentionally frank at times, saying things like their are with well-meaning bluntness. She starting to get better at knowing when to hold back, but at times her factual nature kicks in, and her tongue slips back into its slightly brutal habit of telling tings exactly how they are.
From her diligent and studious side comes an unexpected hint of competitive stubbornness, and if challenged, be it in banter, skill, or something else entirely, she is not the sort to give up or ignore, her playfully persistent edge taking control of her personality. She is quite sarcastic, particularly around those she doesn't get along with, and enjoys the exchange of snark and witty banter. She is endlessly curious, and always following her feet, wherever they may guide her. Although she tries to be clever and calm, when her feathers are ruffled, her minuscule levels of recklessness can suddenly be magnified, and her clumsiness becomes significantly more notable.

Hana is a typically amiable individual, loving nothing more than laughter, and being able to smile. Because of this, she is drawn to those with a good sense of humour. She strongly values loyalty and honesty, and is extremely close to her family. She adores music of almost every genre, but her favourite is stuck rather permanently in the eighties, although she also dapples in the seventies, nineties, and occasionally classical music. Although she isn't all that good at writing, she enjoys reading poetry, and finds solace in poring over a good book of some sort or another, especially when comforted by rainy weather, perhaps with a few pounds of thunder. She likes mysteries and riddles, and solving such things is something that she would certainly do more often, if only she could find such things in need of solving. Although she is pretty awful on a broomstick, she loves watching quidditch, perhaps whilst nibbling on either strawberries, or, better yet, chocolate. She enjoys almost all of her classes, particularly DAtDA, CoMC, and Transfiguration, and could spend the entire night stargazing. She enjoys travelling, especially with pleasant company, and, is often found singing to herself when she thinks that no one is around.

Hana isn't really the hateful sort, nevertheless, there are a number of things in particular that get under her skin and rub her up the wrong way. These range from tiny pet peeves, such as loud chewers, and crude humour, to characteristics that she finds painfully aggravating, such as extreme arrogance, pretentiousness, or selfishness. She isn't fond of conflict for the most part, save for duels, so long as such are done for enjoyment and learning rather than with actual malice, and she isn't particularly fond of hot weather, preferring the Autumn rain or Winter snow to burning, Summer sun. She will not stand for prejudice, bullying, or judging of any kind, be it based on appearance, gender, race, or anything else. She gets extremely freaked out by horror movies, and can't sit through one without either covering her eyes, screaming, or asking endless question along the lines of 'the murderer dies, right?' and 'Why is she going into the house alone?!'. She isn't particularly fond of uncomfortable silences, and boredom is, for her, the equivalent of the cruciatus curse. She doesn't like wearing high heels, although that's mostly because she looks like a newborn giraffe in that she seems to loose control of her legs, and ends up waddling when she wears them.

ā Babbles when nervous, excited, or flustered ā Looks down at her feet when feeling guilty or shy ā Sings or hums to herself often without realising ā Bites her lip when thinking, wondering, or pondering ā When it counts, Hana is a conscientious and diligent student, a pleasure for any teacher. However, there are moments, particularly when there is something else on her mind, that she dozes off, and ends up staring off into space, lost in her own little world ā When she's annoyed or stressed out, she has a habit of muttering to herself in Japanese, and occasionally uses Japanese insults only to pass them off as something else if question by the target of her disdain. Particular favourites include 'manuke' (clueless, loser (literally "out of rhythm" or "missing a beat")) and 'kusottare' (literally "shit drip") ā

If this doesn't occur, then the opposite tends to, and silence blooms between her and her acquaintances, making the air uncomfortable ā Lying; Although she's good at telling liars from the crowd, she isn't all that talented at the art itself ā Potions; It should be simple enough. Get some ingredients, put 'em in a cauldron, cook 'em. And yet, Hana always ends up blowing something up. ā

Jiro Hamasaki | Father | Alive | 45 | Muggle |
Kaede Hamasaki | Mother | Alive | 43 | Pure-blood Witch |
Yuki Hamasaki | Sister | Alive | 7 | Witch |
ļ¼Øļ¼©ļ¼³ļ¼“ļ¼Æļ¼²ļ¼¹
Hana's parents met in a typical way, interacting for the first time all thanks to chance, when Yasuda Kaede -as she was before her marriage to Jiro- whilst interning at the Ministry of Magic, accompanied Uesugi Junko, and two other members of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office, to investigate a cursed set of encyclopedias purchased by a rather naive high school teacher. This teacher was Hamasaki Jiro, and he was instantly drawn to the young witch. He found her mysteriousness perplexing, and she found his bumbling nature endearing. Although his memory of the deadly hardcovers was made to fadeinto oblivion, and thus his first memory of her, she found herself eager to run into him again, and thus stationed herself at his favourite coffee shop.
Obviously, the pair grew closer, and after three years of dating, they got married.
However, there were certainly bumps along the road to their holy matrimony, one of which was, obviously, Kaede's magical abilities, which she revealed a year after meeting Jiro. He, surprisingly, took it rather well. At least, after he'd woken up after fainting from shock. Nevertheless, the most notable problem was in fact Kaede's heritage, and her legendary family name. The Yasuda family, a renowned line of extremely talented and prideful pureblood wizards, had never before had their 'blood mix' with that of a muggle, and Kaede's parents forbade the relationship without a spark of hesitation. Even after Kaede married Jiro, the Yasuda's refused to acknowledge them as a couple, and continued to express their disgust and disapproval at obtaining such an in-law.
About eleven months after their marriage, Hana was born. Hana grew up in a loving environment, despite the antagonistic behavior committed towards her family by her, well, family. However, when she was about eight years old, a fire broke out in her home, and she was lucky to survive. The fire, although they lacked proof, was undoubtedly caused by the angry Yasudas, and so Kaede and Jiro decided to move as to see the last of them. They moved to Australia, and three years later, Hana received her invitation to attend Orion Academy.
The typical excitement followed, purchasing her wand -which didn't take long, as the second she entered the shop, one wand in particular began to shudder and convulse, eager to escape its confinement. She purchased her owl, who she adores, and all of the necessary gear.
And when the Sorting Hat was placed on her head, her nerves gave way to euphoria, and, after listening to the musty old thing ponder between Centaurus and Pegasi, grinned to hear it finally choose the latter.
