Appearance:Personality: Although Kayumi really is pretty normal in most ways, she's actually an interesting person. First off, she is naturally rather affectionate towards the people in her life. She has no problem hugging, giving a small kiss, or cuddling with someone, whether in a playful or romantic manner. She's one of those people who is actually pretty patient, able to deal with a lot and wait for things to come. She's also realistic. She doesn't sugar coat very much and usually tells it like it is. Sure, there are times where she might keep something hidden because she doesn't want to hurt another or anger anyone, but usually, if she is asked, she'll tell someone like it is. Kayumi is a reliable person. If she says she is going to do something, as long as she remembers, she will do it. The bad thing is, if she tells someone she will do something, she actually might not remember it. She has a bad memory. She'll forget things like peoples names, locations, directions, promises, things she did, things she is supposed to do, and something as simple as where she put her pen. Either way, she is quite the motivated little lady. Because of her mother's constant pushing, Kayumi has no problem trying to be the best. She knows that there are people out there that are more skilled than she is and will do what she can to match and/or overpower them. This isn't in a competitive way, but in a way that she knows she has the ability to get better. Though, she isn't going to push herself to the point that it will cause her pain or suffering. She still knows when to stop.
Kayumi has an adorable little habit. When she is really concentrating on something, focused, and/or trying hard, Kayumi has a tendency to stick her tongue out. At times, this can seem childish and adorable, but can also cause a few problems in certain situations. She has likely just been lucky that she has no lost her tongue over the years. Unlike most people in the world, Kayumi is one of those 'unlucky' ones that that is unable to see spirits. She'll embarrass herself at times, accidentally ignoring a spiritual being, or wondering why someone is 'talking to themselves'. Kayumi also has absolutely no ability to fight. She doesn't even really know how to throw a correct punch. She's never really needed the skill, so she hasn't ever taken her time to try it out. Kayumi has a fear of thunder storms. Whenever she hears thunder, she gets so scared she runs and hides. Once she is hiding, she'll freeze and wait until the thunder stops. She can handle the rain. The lightning is alright, but still startles her, but thunder is something she just has no ability to handle. A few facts about Kayumi is the fact that she doesn't like smoking or smokers very much. She doesn't like people who get too close and then begin yelling at her. There are times that Kayumi will have a childish way about her. She'll puff up her cheeks, 'hmph' like a child, and act like a little brat. Usually this is to get her way or bug another person, but can also be something pretty cute at times.
Character Background: Through out Kayumi's entire life, she was pushed to be better and better. Her mother wanted her to be the best. Her mother wanted her to go to college, get a wonderful career, meet a good guy, settle down, have kids, and live her life in wealth. Her mother did this because she knew how it was to grow up in poverty and did not want the same for her little girl. Kayumi was able to understand the motivation and constant pushing that her mother did, but it felt like she wasn't ever accepted for who she was. If she got an A- on a test, her mother would say "Good job! Now shoot for that A+!" which would hurt Kayumi's feelings. It was like, no matter how hard she worked, no matter how good she did, she was never allowed to take a break and enjoy it. It was just "alright, what's next?" with her mother. When she entered high school, Kayumi felt worn down. It was finally the years that were really going to matter for college and she only wanted to tell everyone to leave her the heck alone and let her live her life. She began rebelling, despising her mother and her home. Her grades dropped, she stopped going to school every day, and began to have the reputation of the 'bad chick'. That actually wasn't the case though. When she would ditch school, Kayumi would go to the park or the day care to help take care of the children there. She volunteered there and played with them. This was her way of taking a break, but not falling in with the wrong crowd like so many other teenagers would do. That was something she was doing her best to make sure of because she still wanted a good life.
It was the middle of her sophomore year, Kayumi passing the previous year with a C average and not really caring. Her mother was panicking because she felt like she didn't know her daughter anymore. Her mother's mind was running wild, thinking her daughter was doing bad things and getting into things no person really should. One time, Kayumi's mother actually asked her if she was doing drugs. Kayumi denied this of course, mainly because she actually wasn't, and her mother did her best to trust her. A few months later, her mother became ill. The doctor said the stress had been getting to her for a while and that if things didn't change, her mother would die. Kayumi immediately switched up her behavior and went back to the way she was before. Her grades shot right back up and she soon became the 'smart girl' in High School. Soon, Kayumi graduated and her mother was much better. She was given a full scholarship to a good collage and immediately attended. She stayed in the dorms, hoping for a bit of freedom from her overbearing mother and was happy when she found it. Kayumi was the perfect student, but she became slightly distant, guarded, and secretive. Some people began calling her some sort of freak because she didn't care to wear make-up and do her hair every day like most girls did. Of course, Kayumi did not care and graduated at the top of her class. She was soon offered a job as the assistant for a huge company and happily took it. She quit a month later for a therapist job closer to her house.
For a couple of years, Kayumi spent her days listening to peoples problems and giving them advice. She learned quickly that she was actually really good at it and people began to flock to her whenever they had a problem. It seemed she was even making people's lives happier. One day, there was an incident where a woman broke up with her fiance and left him for a new man. The man attempted to sue Kayumi and lost immediately when Kayumi brought out the tapes of every single session she had with that woman. Kayumi was not stupid. She knew giving advice could be dangerous, so she let those who came to her know that she would record every single session she had with them. She would not allow her name to be slandered because someone took her advice and twisted it in a way that it should never have been twisted in the first place. Luckily for her, this was a good idea and it saved her on multiple occasions. It even got to the point where people decided that messing with her in that manner was just a waste of their money and time, so she was safe. Upon entering current times, Kayumi has come to give advice to a lot of different people. She even helped recuperate a young girl that had became suicidal and attempted to kill herself multiple times. Kayumi truly believes that her life is being fullfilled by helping those that come to her and wouldn't want it any other way.
Natural Abilities
Good Cook: Kayumi isn't one to brag, but she isn't bad in the kitchen at all. It all comes naturally. She is able to create a few dishes without recipes and is able to cook well. She doesn't burn the food and is able to evenly spread seasons. She isn't an 'amazing' cook, but definitely knows her way around the kitchen.
Soothing Aura: Although she does not know about it, Kayumi has an aura around her that creates a sense of calm, safety, and understanding within those that are close to her. This is one of the reasons she is able to give advice and help people so easily, her aura actually helps her do such, causing soothing feelings in the people she talks to. Places that she is in or around a large amount of time will sometimes inherit this aura. For example, people who come over to her home will feel comfortable, even if she isn't there.
