Personality:

Kaori is mostly optimistic, social, independent, freedom-loving, good-humored, honest, straightforward, scholarly, enthusiastic, charming determined, and loyal. She is often called “bouncy” by her friends because she seems joyful all the time. She is also warm, caring, and will help out anyone in a bind; Kaori is seen as a good companion. Even though she is a scholarly girl, she feels knowledge is best derived from experience and not books alone. In dealing with the situations in her life, Kaori does well. She adapts to change very well and is willing to travel at anytime.

On the other hand, she is also self-indulgent, a bit argumentative, talkative, careless, irresponsible, slightly superficial, tactless, and restless. The slightly-superficial part of her comes from growing up in Tokyo where fashion and appearances are key. Kaori is not so superficial that it REALLY matters, but there is just a hint of it in her. She is also pretty tactless when talking to people, in that she forgets sometimes that what she says matters or can hurt someone. Being blunt like that comes from her being restless and impatient and that she is so blindly optimistic she doesn’t think before she says something all the time. Somewhat fickle, romantic relationships are hard for her, but if she found the right mate she would be totally committed.

Character History:

Kaori was born in Tokyo, Japan and raised there until she was 8 years old, at which point they moved to London, England. The reason they came was so her mother, Saki, could get treatment at St. Mungo’s for insanity. Kaori’s father admitted her mum and then had to care for Kaori on his own. Her mum is still in St. Mungo’s and her father transferred to the London Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes.

Thus, during the day as a child Kaori would have a nanny and a tutor would come to home-school her a few days a week. Kaori and her father are close only in that they are family and they get along, but they do not have real conversations or anything. By the time Hideo gets home from work Kaori is already done with dinner and onto other things (homework, hanging out in her room, etc). It is more of an acquaintance type of relationship but they are happy enough and get along. Being the happy person that she is, Kaori is optimistic and takes their relationship for what it is. She also knows that her father is torn up about her mother and he was raised traditionally in Japan (in a suburb prefecture of Kyoto) so he does not show emotions as she does. They love one another and live peacefully and that was what really mattered.
