Sometimes seems to shut the world out. Someone who manages to be lonely even in a crowded room. Bright, but with a brittle quality. She has thin, clever fingers equally adept on an instrument or healing a patient. Her smile brings to mind not the rising of the sun, glorious, changing everything, but a shooting star, glorious still, but doomed to end in darkness.<br/>She has dark, mysterious eyes, often seeming to be looking at some inner scene, and soft, feather soft hair. Her skin is flawless and her features carry some of her great-aunt's beauty.<br/>Kimono:  a deep, lovely brown with elaborate tan embroidery of her family's lands. Upon her chest rose a painstakingly detailed cherry tree, a singing sparrow centered precisely upon her heart. Stitched in the same lovely tan was an elaborate phoenix, crossing over her shoulders, its head wrapping down her right arm, its beak clutching the void symbol. The feathered tail adorned her left shoulder and upper arm. Her obi was in a color that was as close to gold as her family could manage, with flames and feathers embroidered across it all in deep red.</div></div><br/><strong>Time:</strong>1120 - Crane Town, Day 1 – Arrival<br/><br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Kyou<br/><br/><strong>Musical Inspiration:</strong>Blackbird, (http://youtu.be/lwhbcdbkeXY) by Alter Bridge<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Blackbird lyrics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Blackbird from Alter Bridge's album Blackbird<br/><br/>The willow it weeps today<br/>A breeze from the distance is calling your name<br/>Unfurl your black wings and wait<br/>Across the horizon it's coming to sweep you away<br/>It's coming to sweep you away<br/><br/>[Chorus:]<br/>Let the wind carry you home<br/>Blackbird fly away<br/>May you never be broken again<br/><br/>The fragile cannot endure<br/>The wrecked and the jaded a place so impure<br/>The static of this cruel world<br/>Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day<br/>Long before they've seen their day<br/><br/>[Chorus:]<br/>Let the wind carry you home<br/>Blackbird fly away<br/>May you never be broken again<br/><br/>Beyond the suffering you've known<br/>I hope you find your way<br/>May you never be broken again<br/><br/>Ascend may you find no resistance<br/>Know that you made such a difference<br/>All you leave behind will live to the end<br/>The cycle of suffering goes on<br/>But memories of you stay strong<br/>Someday I too will fly and find you again<br/><br/>[Chorus:]<br/>Let the wind carry you home<br/>Blackbird fly away<br/>May you never be broken again<br/><br/>Beyond the suffering you've known<br/>I hope you find your way<br/>May you never be broken again<br/>May you never be broken again </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Character Pictures</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff383/Idariel1/Sparrow600full-ichi-screenshot.jpg)<br/><br/>(http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff383/Idariel1/Sparrow4ichi4-1.jpg)<br/><br/>(http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff383/Idariel1/Sparrow3ichi_01.jpg)<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff383/Idariel1/Sparrow2ichi_mb01.jpg)</div></div></div><br/>Chiyu paled and her breath caught. Speak to her mother? What decision? She could not fathom what that letter might contain save a pean of hate or a demand for wealth her family could not possibly pay. Neither such seemed to call for a decision. She dreaded being called upon to furnish details of her brother's shame. At the least, the letter contained a demand for that. It was owed, to Jiro-san and his family. Dark, pain-filled eyes remained fastened on Jiro for a full two breaths longer than was strictly polite before she glanced down to find her fingers absently soothing over her father's sparrow.<br/><br/>She did not pass out, nor even tremble very much at all. Another breath and she felt she might look up again, having composed her features. She did not think his father could command her death when Moto Ikari had … not. But she owed something there as well, for the grief of Jiro's sister and anger of his father.<br/><br/>When she glanced at Jiro again he was still composed and distant, like his form of address. Distant, though still polite. Whatever decision the letter called for could not be too dreadful or concern him, else surely he would be more insistent about delivering it.<br/><br/>With a deeper, shaky breath she turned her attention once more to the conversation and people around her, forcing memories of her brother into hiding.<br/>
