Hisako is a transfer student at Ashinaka Highschool. Originally from England, she moved to Japan a year ago, and is now working as a relatively well known novelist under the name of Red Robin. A child prodigy, she is well known for her entralling mystery novels. Her novels pay for her rent and personal expenses, being estranged from her family and living independently at her own insistence. She's the clansman of the JUNGLE clan.
Hisako hasbright red hair and deep turqoise eyes. Her attire of a red sweater complements her hair, and she is rarely seen without it over her uniform or anything she chooses to wear. A round green pendant hangs on her neck, once belonging to her Mother. Standing at a height of 5'5, Hisako is quite small in size, her flexibility allowing her to squeeze into small spaces.
- Music | "It helps to block out the noise of the outside world for better immersion into more pleasant realities. When I turn on the music everything becomes crystal clear, I don't know how I could live without it."
Reading | "It's one of the ways to learn new things and expose oneself to the wonders of literature. Each book is akin to travelling to a completely new dimension, following the footsteps of the character onto the path of adventure! I'm getting excited just thinking about it, I'd have to stop at the library again today."
Detective stories | "There is logic and quick wit behind every tale, the journey is absolutely fascinating, and good ones have you hooked every step of the way. I just adore mysteries."
Writing | "I wonder if I'm being a little inconsiderate, but someday I hope to document the things going on now into a novel. Mysterious deaths, a phantom killer, the tensions rising between important factions... And oh, the three heroes that try to unravel the mystery behind it. But will they make it in time to prevent an all out war? Well... I hope so. Nevertheless, it's an enthralling plot line."
People | "Talking to new people never fails to amaze me, they each have their own tales and personality, each of their lives can be written into wonderful tales. If possible, I'd like to make friends with the whole world and write our stories together. Haha... that's a little ironic, considering the things that are going on now, isn't it?"
Hates:
- Lies | "It's not that I mind being deceived, it's just that... the reason behind such deception must be an awfully sad one, don't you think? I wish to become the person no one would lie to, because they'd know I'll be with them no matter what. That's... possible for someone like me, right?"
Fire | "When I was very small, I accidentally scalded my finger when I tried to touch a flickering flame. I've been afraid of it ever since, it's just so wild and impossible to control. I suppose it can work both ways, both harmfully and beneficially, but it doesn't give me the peace of mind to be around..."
Spicy things | "Blehh. Who would like torturing their tastebuds voluntarily? In the end, the only thing I can't get used to is wasabi."
Being seen as a burden | "...It would only be selfish of me to ask for what I want and not think of anyone else. I don't want to hold others back just because I can't move on."
Abandonment | "Ah... No comment."
One thing you find out about Hisako immediately is that she's fiercely determined. There seems to be a fire burning in her that gives her the confidence she needs to try anything despite the risk of failure, the fighting spirit behind her usually distant eyes is unmistakable and impressive. Hisako will never give up on something that easily, always thinking of new plans and other alternatives to do it. When you think she has forgotten she brings it up again, the problem broiling in her mind for ages and ages until she solves it. She's never one to bow her head to crises, instead taking it in stride with the excitement of gaining new experiences.
There's a side to her that still believes in magic, believes that there exists good and purity in everyone she meets. The side that wants badly to help and be of assistance to as many people as she can, so that everyone could be happy. Her idealistic side wants and tries hard to believe in the good of people, and the things that could be possible instead of distrusting them and thinking of the situation negatively. However, her more cynical side believes otherwise, seeing the reality in all it's ugliness. It gives her some shaky ground on her beliefs, and sometimes Hisako doesn't know which side is actually her. She still thinks idealistically most of the time, but her sentences usually trail off to an unsure "...right?"
She might not seem to be attached to reality most of the time, but once you get her excited there is no going back. When it comes to the subjects she loves like stories or mysteries, Hisako is a whole different person, going on and on for hours about her Favourite books and how they inspired her.
There are some times she stares into space, her head in the clouds and completely detached from reality. She has a mind palace of her own, built out of the stories and adventures she had seen and experienced through books. It's where she retreats to whenever she starts feeling sad, her fantasies a place where she could feel secure.
A few weeks after that, Hisako was brought back to England by her Father, only staying for her Mother's funeral. Her Father never really forgave her, for reasons Hisako could never blame him for. Her parents were deeply in love, and Hisako took after her Mother with her large eyes and fair skin, her existence was a reminder that her Mother was never coming back. Her Father simply elected to ignoring her presence altogether, refusing to remember anything that reminded him of his late Wife. He changed Hisako's name to Alice the times he chose to look at her, immersing himself in his work and only leaving money for meals on the table.
To say that did not affect Hisako at all would be a lie, but the only one she was willing to tell herself. Learning to adapt quickly, Hisako slowly grew to enjoy reading. It was one of the only ways she could escape her life for a short while and live in the shoes of others, pretending that she would have a happy ending no matter what. It was what kept her strong throughout the times she questioned if her existence was a mistake. Hisako was forced to grow up quickly, to learn how to cook and take care of herself. She was determined to live on for her Mother, keeping her jade pendant with her as a memento. She never got to know her Mother, but she believed the woman loved her, if anyone. It was during that period where she got into writing the moment she knew how to at the age of five. Already perusing Long novels, Hisako was a child prodigy. She read her first series of Detective stories, the Sherlock Holmes series, when she was merely 4, and fell in love with the mystery genre ever since. Her first publications were traced neatly from pencil with a pen she found while she was searching the house, written under the pen name of red robin to hide her identity. She mailed them to a magazine for children at first, and received her first submission fee. That was when something clicked in her mind. Hisako understood from that moment on that she could make a living out of her stories, that she didn't need to stay where she was forever. From that moment on, Hisako made plans for her future, studying on the things she would need for potential escape. It was as though it was your typical 'run away from home' situation, but Hisako was serious.
She decided to move out once she reached the age of 16, insisting that she would live independently and rid her Father of her burden. Hisako had already planned most things out, her novels receiving quite a lot of fame, enough to support her living expenses. However, one thing she has not expected is the things going on in the city. Once she heard of the clans, Hisako wanted to join one herself, choosing the JUNGLE clan for their hacker identity and mysterious background. She picked up the ropes easily, quickly rising up the ranks as a clansman. Currently staying with Ketsu when she was offered a place after not being able to find another residence, Hisako is still eagerly trying to find the identity of the JUNGLE king.
