Hitomi Numachi

Hitomi Numachi is the Governess of Andamooka, Najer and the adoptive daughter of Lady Aisuru Numachi and Techno Numachi.

Early Life and her discovery of Najer
Hitomi Numachi was brought into the Numachi family at a young age after being found alone and abandoned in the mountain town of Yamagake. Out of sympathy for the young girl the Numachi noble who saw her brought her with them back to the regional capital (at the time) of Ieon. There as she grew up she became firmly integrated into the Numachi family as if she was one of their own as well as learning skills that would help her later on in her life such as swordsmanship, politics, and the arts.

Closer to the present day Hitomi set off other lands in search of adventures, when she stumbled into a man with piratically welcoming tone and and a large smile. As von Sturgeon and Hitomi walked through the deserts of Najer she becomes attached to certain sights she saw, and places she visited. After asking Dmitrio if she could stay and build a town he graciously agreed, and gave her access to the Island of Andamooka Major.

A Story of her Childhood
Hitomi sits atop, Mt. Yuki Overlooking the Sakura Flats as she watches the serene wilderness of the stars above her and the Sakura petals falling. This is her space, a place where she can come to calm down and watch as all the world revolves around her. She can feel the cool wind on her skin and a light sprinkle of sea water brought up by the wind from the ocean below. She is tranquil as she recalls what has just happened.

Hitomi gets up off the Dojo’s floor as she tastes the slightest blood in her mouth. She turns to find her opponent antagonizing her with various insults, provoking her. She reaches for a Bokken and begins charging at him only for him to dodge the obvious and telegraphed attack. She falls into the wall of the dojo and as she gets back up, she stares her opponent in the eyes as he continues to barrage her with insults hoping to provoke her further. in one fluid motion as he is Laughing with his friends, she lands a precise attack that hits his head and knocks him out cold.

Hitomi feels the familiar presence of Alexander behind her. He asks her what happened this time as he sits on the ledge with her. He knows that she only ever comes here to cool off after being Angry or annoyed. He has brought some bandages and begins to tend to her few wounds as she continues to recall what had happened.

After running out of the dojo in fear of what she had just done and the fear of killing someone on accident, she ran through Sakura city looking for somewhere to hide after she had assumed the bully’s friends had called some kind of law enforcers to catch her. Her fear of the disappointed look on her mother’s face drove her to where she is now, atop Mt. Yuki with her brother. He was the only one who could help her avoid further confrontation and calm her down after being so angry and afraid.

She coughs up a small amount of blood, trying to hide it from Alexander but fails to close her hand. He asks if she felt all right, but she said she was fine. Assuming that it was just blood that she had accidentally swallowed during her fight. Alex responded with a small nod knowing full well she was being stubborn not worrying about her health despite her young age. after being helped up by Alexander, they both returned to Sakura Castle. Hitomi did as much as she could to avoid people, especially her mother. However, those she could not avoid saw her in bandages and had a worried but un-surprised face as Hitomi often got into fights, however none appeared as badly as this one. With her finally in her bed, she went to sleep hoping she would not be in trouble for anything tomorrow.

The next day she woke up early and without much sleep. She was hoping to wake up and sneak outside with out any notice. However, a samurai was standing waiting for her to leave the castle. She recognized him and realized he was the boy’s father. He had a disappointed look on his face and did not speak. He only gestured her to follow him, to which Hitomi did. The man had brought he to his house. The one with the large Sakura tree outside. She entered the house to she saw the boy on a straw bed. The Samurai said, “Look at what you have done!”, he continued “you could have easily prevented his death if you had just held in your anger!” She took a step back slowly saying “no, no, no” before Screaming “NOOOOO!” and crying on the ground.

In sweat Hitomi wakes up. She feels herself and winces in pain as she holds her wounds. She gets out of bed and rushes to her mother asking for forgiveness. “Mother, I please ask you to forgive me, I did not mean that boy’s death” she cries. “I was acting out of anger and was not thinking about my actions”. Aisuru Numachi turns around to find her daughter crying and groveling on the ground. She leaned down and told her that she had heard of what had happened and that He was only down for a couple minutes. The crying stopped, to only be replaced by sniffles as she realized she had not killed anyone. “S-S-So he’s alright?” Hitomi asks. “Yes” her mother replies, “He is alright”. “However,” She continues, “that does not mean that you are off the hook.”. Hitomi continues to sit there holding back tears. “I want you to apologize to him.” Her mother says. Hitomi agrees and proceeds to the boys house, the one with the large Sakura tree. She pauses when she see’s his father, still slightly traumatized from her dream. She sees the boy siting down sipping tea. She sees a large bruise near to his eye, where he had been hit by the training sword.

As Hitomi approaches him she can feel the atmosphere change as they both awkwardly stay silent. After a few moments Hitomi begins, “I am so…”. Shes cut off by the boy, “No, it was my fault.” He said, “I should have never provoked you the way I did.”. Hitomi replies “And I never should have acted the way I did, It was stupid of me”. After talking for a few more minutes, both agreed that they were both to blame for what had happened the night before. At which point Hitomi returned home to and report to her mother what they had both said. After feeling satisfied that the situation had been resolved Aisuru sent Hitomi off to continue her training and studies.

Life as a Numachi
From the day that she was brought into the Numachi Family Hitomi had always been close to her brother Alexander. As for he was the one who had first seen her on that Bridge in Yamagake, seemingly abandoned. However close they were however they seemed as if they were polar opposites. Her being the hot headed fighter and him being the cool tempered noble. This would come to define their relationship as every time Hitomi got scratched up Alexander was there to help heal her wounds. As well as whenever Alexander needed some motivation or felt down Hitomi was always there with her very Enthusiastic Emotions to cheer him up.

The Events of 9/6/21
At the time of the coup, Queen Aisuru Numachi was visiting Najer as part of a diplomatic effort to bring Asarakaen and Najer closer. She, along with Hitomi, were sitting at a bar in Kijaro enjoying their time among the many folk of Najer. They were drinking, laughing as Hitomi recounted stories from her adventures. The arrival of a Asarakaeni messenger would break this warm peace however. As soon as his boots crossed the threshold of the bar, the mood was shattered, Aisuru's face suddenly turning wrought with nervousness. The letter was addressed to Aisuru with the word URGENT painted in a thin red paint on the front, bearing the unbroken ministerial seal of Alexander W. Numachi, the Minister for Economics and Hitomi's brother.

Dear Mother,

''I shall be straight to the point. There is a coup ongoing in Polskrige. Leon Olsen-Tanaka, the Magistrate of the Colonies, has declared Kardovia to be the Second Plagatéan Empire, and is set on claiming his rightful place as Tagavor both here and there, threatening military action. Simulami backs him. I am here in the Senate, as involved as I can be with the negotiations. We need you here. I bid you a safe journey home, so that we may even dare to hope of picking up the pieces when you arrive back on Sakuran soil. Too much longer, and you may be expected to sign an end to the negotiations upon your arrival, though you may already wish to as I write this.''

Your son and your loyal servant, now and forever,

Alexander W. Numachi

(P.S. Send Hitomi my warmest regards. Under different circumstances, I was planning to sail to meet you both today.)

Shocked at the contents of the letter, Aisuru set it down on the table and Hitomi quickly read the letter, the gravity of the situation dawning on her. She summoned two Kijaro Guardsmen to accompany them to the port, with a fast return paramount.

Events of 9/27/21
After a day of grueling work and political issues Hitomi finally had some time to catch up with the Emir, Dmitrio von Strugeon and Governor Dragontypes. When what was to interrupt their delightful conversation other than the sound. *Clip Clop* *Clip Clop*. Hitomi's head shot up much to the confusion of the Emir and Governor. *Clip Clop* Clip Clop*. It’s getting closer she said. *Clip Clop* *Clip Clop*. Before finally she turned around and saw a Plagatean messenger, she began to grip her fists. She walked up to him and he handed her a letter with the words URGENT writing on the letter. She gripped harder. Opening the letter in the forum with the Emir and Governor present she read, and sat there for a moment. Before ripping the paper in 2 letting out a loud a ferocious scream as she reached for her blade and cut a near by flag clean in two. Shocked at the out burst both von Strugeon and Dragontypes asked what had happened she gave the ripped letter to them as she stormed out of the forum heading north.
