Name: Mel Sagara
Age:17
Gender:F
Appearance: About 5 foot 3 inches. Very short pixie cut brown hair. Turquoise eyes that change to purple gray when she is very angry. Pretty with a very feminine figure, but is very much a tomboy.
Bio/History:
Her mother and father met by chance and gradually fell in love. They married and had her. At age three, she and her mother were both force-ably moved back into her paternal grandfather's estate. During the war a group of bandits attacked the lightly guarded estate. Mel was hidden in a closet where she witnessed her mother and several of the estate's maids being raped. Her mother was also beheaded. After this incident she was allowed to return home with her father. A few years later Sagara became the captain of the Sekihō Army, necessitating him to be gone for long periods of time. She ran the family's inn while he was away. While he was gone, her father's adopted brother Aoshi Shinamori would visit to keep watch over her. Often bringing along his ward Misao. Despite being traumatized and very fearful of most males, she ended up becoming childhood sweethearts with Sano. When her father was killed, her aunt Hatsu refused to allow her into the family estate. So Aoshi took her in. She was raised and trained along side Misao, until she was 12. Hearing rumors of surviving Sekihō, she started a journey to find them. Her search ended in disappointment. She reached a town only to discover the person she had heard about had died of a heart attack the previous month. She decided to return home and ended up running through the woods, trying to escape some nasty attackers. After a painful stumble down a mountain, all of her supplies were swept away by the river she fell into. She made the mistake of stealing a little food from a band of men. They gave chase when she refused their offer to pay them back with her body. By chance, she ran into Hiko in the woods, and he dispatched the pursuers. Badly injured and still in need of supplies, she took him up on the offer to follow him home. She lived with him for well over a year and even became engaged to him for a time. That ended when he violently attacked her one night. Once again she returned to the family the Oniwabanshu had created for her. She refused to speak about what happened on her journey. Hiding the fact she was pregnant until her changing physique gave it away. Even then, she refused to name who the father was. Aoshi allowed the town to believe he was the father, and even offered to marry Mel so that the child would be legitimate. She refused and several months later gave birth to her daughter. Years later, when Aoshi went missing, she joined Misao in the journey to find him. They separated to cover more ground and she ended up in Tokyo. Listening to the underground for possible word on Aoshi, she learned of the fighter for hire named Zanza. Momentarily abandoning her pursuit of Aoshi, she turned her attention to finding out more about this unusual character. Having a feeling it was someone she knew, she was proven right when she learned it was Sano. Before she could try to set up a meeting, she ran to the aid of a woman being attacked and was injured in the process. The woman happened to be Kaoru. In gratitude, she brought the girl back to her dojo to recover. Due to her past, Mel was very weary of most of the males, striking Kenshin when he tried to give her water. In time her fear faded a bit and her relationship with Sano was rekindled. They currently live in the Oniwabanshu's manor, where she acts as Misao's right hand and he does odd jobs for the clan. He has also happily adopted Robin, who calls him Papa Sano.
(sorry if this is too long.)
Family:
Currently pregnant with a second child. This one by Sanosuke.
Weapon: Several kunai are somewhere on her person at all times. She occasionally has a small sword or poison packets.
Strengths:Expertly skilled in Kunai and poisons. Has mastered Aoshi's techniques and has a some what mastery over her maternal family's sword style. Excellent in hand to hand combat and highly skilled in medicine.
Weakness: Has decent physical strength, but not particularly strong. Is only a little stronger than Misao. When she isn't fighting can be a real klutz. Somewhat susceptible to doubt, especially when it comes to her sword or parenting skills. Her daughter. Fear of males is crippling at rare times.
Special powers(i will accept a few of these but not a lot): Nothing in particular. Powerful, fast, and very intelligent, but very much in the human realm.
Extra: Has a pet tiger named Kiera and a large black horse named Moonshadow( inherited from her father). A very relaxed personality that is occasionally frazzled when the men in her life heckle each other too much. Compassionate and very caring. Often takes on maternal roles to her friends.
