Character Name: Hamada Kanako
Biography: We all heard fairy tales starting with “Once upon a time” and end with a cute line like they “lived happy until the end of times” but not my tale. To fully understand my story, I have to start explaining what led me here.
My name is Hamada Kanako, first daughter of Hamada Eiichi and second heir of the Hamada family. My family made a fortune working for Samura… and their allies. The Hamadas are a close knit family mostly driven by money. They also are traditionalists and one of them is to have arranged marriage with business partners to seal the deal like they say.
Unfortunately for me, I was promised to Hitoshi, the heir of Yagumi's family. From my tender age I was groomed to know my place, never talk if i’m wasn’t invited to, serve my husband-to-be. Today, i call it slavery but back then, i was only a young flower who was eager to fulfill her role into the family.
At the age of 12, i was sent to the Yagumi family to continue my “bride to be” education and meet the boy who i would spend my life with. Hitoshi was 4 years older than me but already looked like a man. The first time we met I knew I would never love him and I feel like he felt the same way.
For the next 6 years, I was initiated to my new family business. Soon, I realized that I was more than only a future bride, I was literally a hostage in some sort of sick power game between some of Kusari's lower family. For many traditional families, it’s not unusual to exchange one sibling or arrange marriage to seal a business deal. It’s a way to ensure the deal will be respected.
The day of my 18th birthday, i’ve been today the wedding would be held the day of my 19th birthday. I wasn’t thrilled much there was nothing between Hitoshi and me. Every single time we were together, he bullied me, threaten me. I knew it wasn't going to be the fairy tale my mother told me.
During the 3 years the marriage lasted, it was an abusive one-sided relationship. For him, it was a burden to endure. Neither of us could ask for divorce because of the tradition and the dishonor it would bring upon our families. The little shy boy I met a decade ago was in reality a monster. Often, when he was drunk after hanging with some shady hogosha’s affiliates, he would come home with a hooker. This was when I was in a good mood. Most of the time he simply gave me a beating because for him, I was worthless.
One day, after the doctor told us we wouldn’t ever have a child because I was suffering from infertility, he beat me so hard that I got disfigured and spent weeks in hospital. I decided that I wouldn't let this ever happen to me because next time I could die. I bought a gun from a more than questionable man. That same night, he came back home with yet another hooker. I couldn’t take it anymore. I waited until both fell asleep, sneaked in the room and put a bullet in his head. At that moment, I never felt so free of my life. His favorite next to him was only a collateral damage…. Well I try to convince myself it is.
With the few ressources i had back then, I jumped on the first ferry to liberty. I was free and I was hoping I could have a new beginning there. I was wrong, while the ship was cruising in Shikoku, the news of the murder popped on the screen. I couldn’t hide and was thrown in an improvised brig. So much for the fairy tale and seemed like it would be the end of the line for me.
Destiny being a bitch, the ship was intercepted by, to my huge surprise, a fearsome women gang. Their leader, Kimiko, thought freeing me on Ames would be the right thing to do. Curiously, I felt attracted to that woman. Maybe it was her charisma or the way she was looking. Over the following months, she was coming on Ames, paying simulator hours so I could eventually be of any use as she liked to say.
She never fully told me what her work was exactly but some men on Ames told me she was an Golden Chrysanthemums affiliate. We became close friends… maybe to close for me to share the details. Few weeks ago, I started to fly an overused Blossom fighter she bought me. I will never know for sure what I was for her. Maybe a student, maybe a lover or maybe only another of these poor kusarian girls.
Few days ago, while I was resting in Morioka, one of kimi wingwoman woke me up. Kimi was killed by kusari navy forces on her way back. Once again I am alone but she helped me carve a path. Some would say i’m here because i don’t have nowhere to go and others might simply say i’m an opportunist but me, i’d rather say the fairy tale isn’t over yet.
Reasons for joining inRP: Kimi being dead, i realize that i still have a family who i will protect and who will protect me. I can't go back now. The fairy tail will go on and i want to see how deep the rabbit hole goe. (oorp: someone gotta watch on@"Exterminator")
