History

Pre-Yuriba

Natsuki Kuga (玖我 なつき Kuga Natsuki) is a high-school student from Fuuka Academy. While she might seem a normal young woman, she's anything but. Her mother was killed when Natsuki was young, resulting in a deep-seated vendetta that Natsuki had against those who perpetrated it. She also discovered that she possessed special powers as a HiME. HiME refers to the ability to create solid objects from photons, as well as the females who wield this ability. It stands for Highly-advanced Materializing Equipment. It is a backronym of hime, the Japanese word for princess. All HiMEs have an identical birthmark shaped like the HiME symbol on various points of their bodies, usually the part of their bodies governed by their astrological sign. HiMEs typically are associated with a classical element or some other theme.

HiME are protected by a guardian being, called a Child, who can be summoned to aid the HiME in times of need. The Child is born of the bond of love or friendship the HiME shares with another and if the HiME or her Child are killed, the person the HiME cares for the most dies. The stronger this bond is, the stronger the Child becomes.

Natsuki and another, older classmate named Shizuru Fujino shared this bond and served as one another's most important person. Shizuru, because she befriended a withdrawn and bitter Natsuki not long after her mother was killed, saving Natsuki from becoming a dark and anti-social person. While Natsuki's feelings were platonic and friendly, Shizuru genuinely loved the other girl, resulting in a conflict when these feelings came to light. Eventually, Natsuki accepted these feelings, however and grew closer to Shizuru.

The defeat of the HiME's foes resulted in a loss of their innate powers, however, though Natsuki herself has trained extensively in martial arts, which she still practices actively. Her arrival to Yuriba is part of a sort of soul-searching sabbatical.

Yuriba

Natsuki has been around for a little while, now. At the least, she's been around for a year or so, though she hasn't had the drive to seek out any permanent residence or employment. She spends a good deal of her time around one of Yuriba's many beaches, swimming, or at the hot spring. She's acquainted with the spring's most notable patron, that being Coral. Beyond these faces, she's less knowledgeable about the rest of the island. She was notably absent from Yuriba during the 2012 eruptions, and all of the subsequent chaos that followed. She was disappointed in this, however, as she has made note that if she had been present, she would have done all she could to help.

She has taken up residence at the Crimson Rose and Sword, and currently rents one of the suites.

She's recently run into Shizuru on the island, and the shock has left her wondering where she's going to go in her relationship with the other girl, though she's content to go as slow as she needs to do so. A recent talk seems to have pushed this forward a little, though Natsuki seems to be anything but pleased with the developments. A tense atmosphere tends to be present whenever the two happen to meet.

Physical Description

Natsuki is a fit, athletic young woman with a slender, swimmer's build. None of her curves are excessive, but she has a lean and healthy appearance that comes with being an active teenager. She's an avid swimmer and rides motorcycles, participating in racing on occasion. Her hair is a bit of a point of pride, long and colored cobalt blue, she tends to take good care of it whenever she can manage to do so.

Romantic Interest

Natsuki is still figuring out where she fits on the romantic spectrum. She hasn't officially come out as a lesbian, but her dislike of men is a bit well-known back home, which leads some to make assumptions about her. Her fairly recent exploration of these feelings with her friend Shizuru aside, she's still exploring her sexuality. There are a couple of people, however, to whom Natsuki would consider herself both intellectually and physically attracted. Undoubtedly, even as she tries to find a sort of balance in this part of her life, she is a bit on the timid side.

Of note, she's been seen hanging out with Haley and Vivian Li Carter. The former relationship has blossomed, where the latter hasn't gotten much more serious than friendship. Still, Natsuki seems more than content with both. She has been shocked, however, by the appearance of Shizuru on the island. She had a confrontation with Shizuru, which has all but eliminated any chance of a romantic relationship, though there's still the possibility of the two salvaging their friendship. During the Halloween party in 2013, Natsuki met Kirika. She seems attracted to the other woman, who is a little more bold and outgoing than Natsuki is. Seeing as Kirika is newer, she's taken it on herself to show her around the island.

Needless to say, she might be headed towards a more closed relationship status, depending on how any future developments with any others progress. She has, if anything, found herself to be decidedly lesbian. She's never had much interest in men to begin with, and events on the island have more or less cemented her preference for other women.
