Mari Oharu

Name: Myrhee "Mari" Oharu
Gender: F
Age: 21
Birthday: 8/26
Sexuality: Probably goes both ways. She isn't sure herself.
Special Characteristics: A pair of antlers that can be hidden at will

Personality: At face value, Mari's personality reads closely to that of an open book - everything is as you see it. Her emotions could paint her face in neon colors just by how audacious she is in both speech and expression. Though the life of a keeper was nothing more to her than a dull day-job, she managed to sustain her youth in the form of a distinct sunny temperament that usually had no visible end to it. Many are often deterred by her intense passion and tirelessness, but there are a good few who don't mind her energy even if it was unbecoming.

Miss Oharu isn't likely to vomit rainbows however, since she too has her own grievances. These sort of down-times aren't a secret either, having been the sort to fashion her sadness across her person at level easily discerned by those who care - though she hesitates to let others trouble themselves with her sorrows. She likes to think that there are things that everyone has to brave alone so the skin on their backs thickens in retaliation, and she abided to this principle since her days in the slums.

Mari isn't spineless, but she isn't an immovable wall either. She'd no sooner cry for someone else than she would for herself, since the only emotions she'd come to resent were self-pity and helplessness. This was partly the reason why she'd left her old job to pursue wizardry - to find better footing in a society that consumed the weak like cattle. While it can be observed to be out of character, even small skirmishes set her veins ablaze with the blood of a fighter, unwilling to meet defeat.

Of course, the largest deciding factor that did lead to her change of heart was the absurd pay opportunities that adventuring provided. To the world, avarice is the root of immorality. But for Mari, it'd been her lifeline that gave her a face to brandish against the unforgiving nature of poverty. Hence, any shame she'd have had concerning her openly known love for money has since then turned into fine dust. So as it stands, Mari isn't the sort to be scared of a little show and if it happens to be something of interest, it's likely she has a lot to say about it. Likewise, she appears to have no qualms about voicing her opinions on things she finds disagreeable and will not hesitate to spark lengthy (yet amicable) discussions with regards to hot potatoes and boiling tea.

On that account, Mari is still remarkably considerate. There is no amount of coin that she'd exchange for the people she'd come to find home with. Her party members would be pleased to know that she maintains a good head on her shoulders, and will knowingly work with the team out of respect for her comrades-in-arms. Oh, but she dare not take an authoritative position in a group. As her ex-boss puts it: "You're too impulsive when you're in charge!"

Likes:
✦ Money - Making money, collecting money, counting money...and then donating some to the poor. Her parents would have wanted it that way.
✦ Indulging in good food - There wasn't much to put on the table prior to her employment, so having the capacity to provide herself with luxury eats help to wash away the memories of eating nothing but a lean, watery stew and stale bread.
✦ Freebies - Poverty and scrimping is a time-honored, mutual relationship that helped the less fortunate to survive, so they were taught to make do with whatever they could lay claim on especially if it wasn't attached to a price tag.
✦ Reading - Words were Mari’s first currency, while books were her first banks. The entire world felt like they were at her fingertips so long as she had pages to flip.
✦ Math - Who else wouldn’t love the one thing that allowed her to appreciate how much money she had?
✦ Luxury Baths and Perfumes - Mari has had an acute sense of smell for the longest time, and has come to appreciate the scents of that money could buy you. Though she doesn't mind getting dirty, she does mind when she can't smell good immediately after.

Dislikes:
✦ Poverty - It goes without saying that a girl with the typical rags-to-riches story would come to loathe the very thing that caused her needless suffering.
✦ Alcohol - As if triggered by a conditioned response, Mari has a perchance to become very agitated once any sort of booze comes close enough for her to get a whiff.
✦ Thieves - Many a poor men looked to crime as a means of putting food on the table, but her father loathed all manner of stealing, and so shall she - especially if they dare smother their sweaty hands on her money!
✦ Smelly smells - If things smell unpleasant for most people, chances are it'll smell twice as worse for her.
✦ Dirty money - The only sort of coin that'll end up in her pockets are the ones made from hard work and legal process.

Motivations:
✦ Money - People like to label her obsession as excessive or unnatural, but only Mari understands what she and her family had undergone. Money is power, and she's willing to keep working of it if it meant giving her parents and siblings better life experiences.
✦ The Fam - Every letter she'd gotten for the past few years are like little candlesticks in a dark room. When the distance from her and home start feeling further than it already is, her siblings and parents somehow always manage to warm her spirit with their writings.
✦ Magic - The whimsies of wizards always confused her when she'd still been a keeper until she was able to witness their feats in real time. What else could've eventually compelled her to change careers if not for the spontaneity of magic?

Fears:
✦ Bankruptcy - The luxury connoisseur is nevertheless careful with her urges. Empty wallets are notorious heart breakers after all.  
✦ Manure - Woe were the days when she shoveled poop for a living. After several hours of rinsing herself down, the smell would trail her like loan sharks after a vagrant. Never again.
✦ Loss - Her tiniest sister nearly fell out a window if it weren't for her father's reflexes. She still blames herself for that what if, and perhaps will never reconcile with the weight of loss that befalls her, no matter who or what.
