History

Childhood

Kiriko Hidamari was born and raised on New Tokyo with her older brother Kotaro Hidamari, by their mother, Mikoto Hidamari, and their father, Toru Hidamari. Formerly Toru Itou, Kiriko’s Father was a strong supporter of the Emperor and his government’s efforts in the War against Bretonia, after the rest of the Itou family had lost faith in their Emperor and government they joined the Blood Dragons.

Toru's Wife was heavily pregnant with a baby girl (Kiriko) and pre birth scans detected abnormal symptoms in the unborn child. Knowing that his child would be unfit for a life in space, and torn between his birth family and his own family, Toru broke off ties to the rest of the Itou family to protect his own and settled down on New Tokyo.

Kiriko was born a normal birth however suffered from an affliction similar to Anaemia, the Hidamari family was not very wealthy, this meant that not only was treatment for her condition firmly out of reach, it also meant that her food intake was incredibly low, bother her height and her weight were -and remain to this day- many many years behind where she could have been potentially in a more wealthy house hold.

Kiriko's Education was extremely limited, due to her sickness and the poor financial situation of her family. Kiriko's parents couldn’t afford to pay for her to attend a Kindergarten, as Men were more important in society the father deemed it more pressing for Kotaro to be schooled so he may become successful and look after Kiriko some day. Kiriko's continued to yearn to be able to attend but her health made it difficult to discern whether such a move would be good either financially for the parents, or Physically for Kiriko. at the age of 6 Kiriko seemed to make leaps and bounds in her sickness recovery, however she still had the occasional blackout causing herself harm, this did not put her off wanting to go to school, to prove she could be strong like other kids. Mikoto and Toru worked extremely hard every day for the entire year in the hopes of not letting down their little girl and enabling her to attend school for the first time, giving her a chance to get somewhere on her own within the harsh Kusarian life. Their efforts paid off and Kiriko was able to join Shin-Reimei (lit. New Dawn) all Girls Elementary school on september 2nd 808 A.S.

Due to her financial background and the political situation of Kusari's women and men being treated drastically different, being sent to an all Girls school was much cheaper than being sent to a mixed school like Kotaro attended. Kiriko’s physical appearance was still far behind other children she saw around, being shorter and scrawnier than everyone else became very self conscious very quickly, panicking herself. Making herself sick with worry and self doubt Kiriko had a panic attack and blacked out, collapsing during the opening ceremony, never again being allowed to return due to rapid decline in her health.

Knowing how hard her mother and father worked to get enough money to pay for her to attend school, and then again being sick enough to not attend, brought Kiriko's self confidence to a all time low, and she found it hard to even so much as look in the face of her parents as she gradually became sicker than ever. Her mother often comforted Kiriko and told her it was alright and that Kiriko did her best and she was proud of her, her father said the same things, but it was much more obvious of the pain that the loss of money had caused him, he was thinner, making sure that his family ate before him at all times. Kiriko would cry herself to sleep in her mothers arms in sorrow, her brother Kotaro would always try and cheer her up by telling Kiriko stories of school and what it was like to wind up the teachers and the horrid things he would do to the girls, like showing them bugs and worms. Kiriko liked to hear him talking about all the things she couldnt do with a smile sharing his experiances with her at the end of everyday meant alot to Kiriko. her health recovered only fractionally enabling her to walk and move on her own without aid for a few minutes at a time. Kiriko remained that way until her life was suddenly and dramatically changed forever.

Adolescence

Kiriko is still growings, and still learning about the galaxy and how to fit into it. She has little to no knowledge of adult relationships, reproduction or dating; and due to security measures in place on her AI companion "Cly" it will not answer any question that she might have on such subjects, as its creator believes that Kiriko should remain un tainted and inocent of the vast crudeness that can be found in space.

The Dark Star Syndicate & Her fatal condition

The DSS are the very reason Kiriko is in Bretonia and the very reason she is still alive today. After the Kusari Prison ship was ambushed by undercover Hogoshan fighters posing as blood dragons, deep in the Kanto asteroid field, Kiriko managed to get into an escape pod with a older woman who fell unconscious receiving a head injury just as she entered the pod.

A covert Syndicate convoy comprised of the DSS Octavian, Isocrates, Ares and Alexandros, were smuggling goods to planet Leeds from Kusari, they were passing the area of the debris and heard a faint cry for help and then silence, a few kilometres away from the wreckage a dim beacon was echoed onto the Isocrates. The Captain of the DSS-Isocrates, Captain James Villia decided to aid the person that was in distress, tractoring the pod aboard.

Kiriko had been adrift for 20hours by the time she was rescued, and her condition was critical. When the crew of the Isocrates broke open the pod Kiriko was unconscious her illness blacking out her mind, they were astounded by the sight they saw, a girl barley in her teens just lying there over the body of an old woman, dried tears clearly visible on her face, they were taken hastily to the medical bay however the woman was too far gone and died later on. She was with was given a Bretonian burial in space to honour the dead, even if it was a Kusarian, she was clearly too old to have been a soldier.

Kiriko remained unconscious unable to find a way to help her she was presented to chief medical officer, Doctor Karl Ackerman. The doctor performed a long series of tests discovering that her heart simply wasn’t working as fast as it should be doing, causing all her other systems to function slower. Doctor Ackerman also discovered abnormally and dangerously low levels of vital nutrients in Kiriko's blood.

He knew that unless something was done in the next hour, there was no guarantee she would be able to wake up again, her slow moving pulse was starving her body of the oxygen it needed and her nutrient levels were clearly apparent in her appearance, her ribs were clearly visible, her body was almost skeleton like, bony and devoid of any fatty tissue required for healthy growth of somebody her age.

Dr Ackerman consulted the captain, who came down to see how the 'prisoners' were doing, and was shocked to find an old woman, covered in a sheet, and Kiriko, a girl who barely looked 10. He didn’t like the look of things, Kiriko lay naked in lab as the Doctor spoke about her conditions, the captain asked Dr. Ackerman "save the girl, Karl, I don’t want this child to die.. Just looks at her, it’s like she’s never eaten a solid meal in her life, do what it takes".

Kiriko was prepared for immediate surgery, if it hadn’t been successful there was no guarantee she would have ever woken up again. The only thing aboard the Isocrates that could be used for a condition as severe as Kiriko's was an old C-MI, a Cryer Pharmaceutical medical enhancement, designed to automatically feed a patient with doses of medication throughout the day, until the medication required changing with a new source.

The C-MI arm implant is connected directly into the veins and arteries that run along the arm of the patient and fused in place by connecting it to the bone and skin with finely tuned nano machines. on the surface it appears to be a large metal plate pressed flush with the surface of the skin, there is a small hatch on the front inside of which contains the insertion matrix and medicinal delivery array. The operation was a success and her pulse returned to normal eventually she opened her eyes into the beaming light of the operation table lamp.

Due to the extreme circumstances in which the C-MI device was used, and also the age of Kiriko when it was implemented, it caused her mild discomfort at all times, and great pain when her medicine had to be changed. Over the years as she has grown slowly, and C-MI device has not been changed and so it causes her immense pain due to being essentially too small for her, touching the C-MI plate fused into her right arm can cause her incredible agony.

Due to the nature of the medicine inside the capsuals for the C-MI, causes her almost to be addicted to them, in the subconscious sense, and in actual fact, the reason the C-MI model was discontinued, was due to unknown detriments to patients after a certain time, eventually causing more harm than they cure.

Personality traits and personal relations

Clytemnestra "Cly"

Anybody that has been around Kiriko for more than 10 minutes will probably note the odd relationship to an unknown person constantly referred to as “Cly”. The Clytemnestra is Kiriko Hidamari’s custom built Artificially Intelligent B-294-L series “Hussar” Light fighter craft. The central AI unit is announced “Cly” for short. Kiriko refers to ‘Cly’ always as “she” and treats the artificial intelligence with love and respect at all times, without exception. To Kiriko, ‘Cly’ is just as real and as much of a friend as anybody else can name from their human friends, and this is reflected in their communication with each other.

In most ways ‘Cly’ does not communicate in a way that would denote any sort of emotion, yet from Kiriko’s perspective things that ‘Cly’ does are just as human, life like and thoughtful as any person she is likely to meet elsewhere. Her mother Shizuma Sakaragi used her skill in electronics to separate the ‘Cly’ AI unit from the Hussar, placing it in a Palmtop computer, enabling Kiriko to take ‘Cly’ everywhere and anywhere.

Cly never leaves Kiriko’s side even for a moment

Shizuma Sakuragi

Shizuma Sakuragi had lost both her parents when she was still a child so she grew up in an orphanage where she was bullied alot. Over the years she developed her fighting skills and she attempted to join the KNF. Having to work almost 4 times harder then all the men to prove herself she finally made it to the naval forces where she has been for almost 7 years. But she was never involved in any of the major operations because her superiors weren't too happy with her, she developed her bomber skills until she was caught in an unfortunate collision during a training. Her superiors who were waiting for her to make a mistake all this time used this chance to have her discharged.

She left Kusari and bought herself a Roc on Freeport 6, she continued her journey all the way to Bretonia where she and Steve Holloway, a guy she met on her first day in Bretonia, worked as guns for hire but eventually they grew a part and Shizuma met Kiriko and Leonardo on almost the same day. After a couple of months she and Leo agreed on adopting Kiriko as their daughter and once they found out Shizuma was pregnant Leo also proposed to her.

9 Months later not much was left of this family life, Shizuma found out that Leonardo was still secretly using cardamine and she threw him out of her house and because she didn't want to raise 'their' child all by herself so she hired a nanny whom is practicly raising the young Hera while Shizuma is off planet patrolling Bretonia. Her evenings and days off she spends with her two daughters, Hera and Kiriko

Alice Techler

Alice Techler is a pirate come freelancer that Kiriko met on her first days in space after being in hospital for months after the collapse of the Dark Star Syndicate. Eventually Alice Techler became like an older sister figure to Kiriko, and was responsible for giving Kiriko her first taste of Beer when aboard the Junker Base "Trafalgar".

Alice was granted a room in the home of Shizuma Sakaragi and Leonardo Ramirez, the 'Home in the Sun' as it is known, A residence on Gran Canaria. Now able to live with Kiriko and two others, things seemed to be paradise. Unknown to everyone at the time, Alice was still in some dodgy business with a criminal mastermind known as Tony Sentero, who prowled in space aboard a Dometricus Yatch.

When Alice knowingly lead Kiriko to Leeds and convinced her to leave Cly behind, promising to Kiriko that she would get to ride in a luxury yatch if she behaved herself. Kiriko followed her onee-san willingly into the hands of Tony Sentero, forgetting about her condition and that the medicine was with the Clytemnestra taking off and heading out into space.

The Yatch cruised around Sirius with Kiriko aboard staying close to Alice at all times, not aware of the deception at hand. Back on Leeds the Clytemnestra had sent out a warning ping to Leonardo and Shizuma, the ping was carried on the emmergency frequency but carried no information, just a constant ping with a location pointing to the Planet Leeds. worried about the girl they had come to see as a daughter, and knowing that Kiriko and Cly were never seperate if they could help it, they both set out at full speed to find out what was wrong.

Now in omicron Delta, Tony Sentero had made his intentions clear, he did not intend to retrun to Leeds, and rather liked the idea of having the two girls as permanent residents aboard his ship. Alice was horrified, as she had not agreed to the stated terms however Sentero was ruthless, he didnt really care for what she agreed in. Kiriko's health began a slow decline, without her medicine slowly her body began to close itself down. After Alice attempted to fight Sentero he had them both locked into the brig. The pilot of the Yatch did not agree with the treatment of the two young girls, but as usual Sentero did not care.

Sitting in the dark a tearful Alice cradled Kiriko as her health steadily got more serious, talking with Kiriko in an attempt to helped her stay conscious, appologising continuously to her for what she had done. Shizuma and Leonardo had traced the Yatch through Alices ship and information retrieved from the Clytemnestra, a chase ensued accross the galaxy, out of the omicrons, through the sigma's across Rhienland. The two freelancers caught upto and stopped Sentero in the Texas Debris Field and demanded that they release the two girls, Sentero attempted to bargain with the two freelancers but it was not going to work. Shizuma used an information warfare attack to shutdown the Yatch's power and lighting, using the confusion to board the craft killing anyone that got in the way.

It was at this time that the Pilot "Jack" took his own stand and killed Sentero once and for all, opening the brig and releasing the two girls. Alice tried to help Kiriko to escape, but she could not do so alone, Shizuma arrived and saw the state of Kiriko and knew it was bad, she picked up the child and told Alice to come too. They ran back to the docking bay, Shizuma entered the bay turning to find Alice. Alice pushed her into the bay and locked the door behind her, sealing herslef inside the ship, with kiriko now a critical condition shizuma knew that she didnt have time to go back, and strapping Kiriko into her Roc Bomber co-pilots seat the two freelancers raced accross the galaxy in order to get home and give kiriko the medicine she needed before it was too late...

Alice dissapeared in a sence of self punishment at her actions towards Kiriko and was never heard from again, her room in the house remains untouched, in the hope she will one day, return to the family.

Mason Hargreaves

A Secretive man, He is based on planet Leeds somewhere on the lower levels of Holbeck city.

Mason is a mechanical wiz and a long time hater of the war in Bretonia, he Is the man Responsible for creating the Clytemnestra AI using a disabled AI Core the Isorates once found near the corona of a Star in the Independant worlds. He configured the AI from its formerly hostile setting to be one that could benefit Kiriko the most, turning the AI into a companion, giving it the ability to understand and correct her speech should she make any errors, offering translations if kiriko needed them, performing analitical sweeps of system data and turning them into an understandable report for Kiriko to read.

Mason never fully believed that Kiriko should have been allowed to have a ship of her own, but due to the stubborness of Captian Villia all he could do was make sure her life was as comfortable as possible.

Mason is still stationed on planet Leeds, and is one of the few locatable members of the Syndicate trade fleet, He updates the Clytemnestra AI periodically over time, resulting in 'Cly's ability to perform basic emotions in response to situations or speech.

Junkers

Kiriko has a steadily growing distrust and gradual dislike of Junkers in and around Bretonia, when on patrol Junker marked vessels are often caught with Highly illeagal materials, such as Artifacts and Counterfiet Software, Using their unique likeability status with bretonian lawfuls to escape unwanted attention. Kiriko has learned not to trust these people more and more, as behind the scenes they cause more damage than they appear to clean up, in their New London scrap harvesting operations.
