It’s hard to say who impacted my characters the most. But I’ll create a list of people and why they’re important to my characters in some way.
Koizumi Saiky:
The viper herself has had a lot of influence in her life and also developed in her own way. She adapted and changed depending on what she saw and how she experienced life, but there are many who influenced her and fueled her change. I’ll list some big ones.
Katakana Tasuichi (spelt it wrong) - Mocha:
One of the first people to come into Koizumi’s life and has been a bodyguard, student and friend to her. He influenced her in standing up for herself, and being there to support, and listen to the amount of drama she had going on. He also was someone who showed her how to not care, and be confident in herself.
Kurai Tasuichi (spelt it wrong again) - Min:
Good, old, Kurai. Another influence that’s been there from the beginning, not only is Kurai her closest friend, he is the most important person in her life. She learnt to become cold, calculated, secretive and selective with her trust. Koizumi has been with Kurai, like Kat, from the beginning. He’s her right hand in everything and if she does something, he’ll know about it. He’s not only someone who guides her through struggles in life, she’s one of the few people she sees as family who doesn’t share a name with her or isn’t blood related. If she’s cold or judgemental she learnt it from Kurai, and she also learnt to support and consider things carefully from him as well.
Sho Hirobayashi - England:
Her beloved boyfriend! Don’t test her commitment to him, you’ll be put to shame. Sho is the only person and will remain so to have a healthy relationship with Koizumi. He’s influenced her personality and ability to feel empathy for others. For someone so cold and calculating, it’s hard to see if Koizumi ever has a heart. Half the time she appears like a snake, and she makes her exit like one, acting like she just appeared and disappeared. Sho has helped Koizumi warm up to the public, to speak out more and be more vocal and confident in her own skin. He’s a polar opposite to her and it’s why it works so well, he’s helped guide her into speaking about her problems and secrets. To not only with himself, but with her get over their insecurities, be open minded and supportive of one another and their lives and challenges. Shos the person who’s helped to influence a better perspective on people and life, and he contributes hugely to her open mind in speaking to others.
Kaeda Saiky - Rex:
Kaede is one of her friends, and also a family member. She’s responsible for a huge chunk of Koizumi’s kindness and her compassion to others. Kaede is a complete bundle of joy compared to Koizumi so to have her in her life is a huge influence. She’s kind and caring, sympathetic and supportive of everyone. Kaede is the person who opens Koizumi’s eyes to those around her and to be more gentle with them.
Hanae Kaede - Mia:
Personal the******, supportive friend and her go to person. Hanae is one who also opens Koizumi’s eyes to the world and her perception of life. She’s kind, welcoming and respectful, something many people lack or don’t see often. Hanae pushes Koizumi in the right direction in life and helps support her overcoming trauma.
Seino - Jayla:
Her ghost bestie!! This man is responsible for all her manipulation techniques, skilful thinking and cruel nature. He only existed in October but he shaped her so much, she became more sided with yokai and cold towards everyone and everything. He also was the one responsible for her fighting with Sho almost all the time. Since his presence she’s become smart, manipulative and genuinely disgusted at the treatment people give yokai.
Kimura Saiky - RexHobo:
Her son and the one person who taught her to let go of things. He’s carefree and joyful, having fun whenever he gets the chance, he was the influence and reason Koizumi is as chaotic and fun as she is when she’s alone or having fun. Her son taught her how to have fun and stop being so serious in her life.
Shrine co-workers -
Sadly yes, the shrine has influenced her. They’ve taught Koizumi to become more social to them and others and to have fun. They will continue to do so with every passing and coming waves.
There are so many more names that influenced Koizumi. But these are the main ones, or ones I could recall.
Rini Koraru Sango:
There’s a lot of positive and negative with Rini. But the little rabbit herself has a few big names.
Kurai Tatsuechi (spelt it wrong) - Min:
Her rather intimidating friend, Kurai is a character who overlooks and takes care of Rini. He’s responsible for guiding her and helping her re-adjust to Karakura again after so many years. There’s more to their dynamic but it’s a find out ICly thing.
Neo Corvid - Neo:
The wonderful… ex husband. This is the most negative impacted character on her, he’s caused her pain, trauma and given her a lot of problems. He will not be spoken of, but he isn’t good or was never meant for her.
Snoobs Wigglesworth:
Chaotic and fun best friend, he was there for her, and they had a close bond. Both of them were chaotic and fun, learning from each other as they used to work together. Snoobs used to have her back and she used to have his, there was chaotic and they always had fun. He was the one to help her break lose of her connections.
There are so many more people who influenced Rini, but I’m getting tired, it’s late and there’s just so many more. I apologise for lacking in detail on these ones, I’ll get there anytime.
