"We don't need any parents. After all, we're wild animals."

Ever since the beginning of her schooling at Ohtori Academy, Kozue Kaoru was seen as the inferior to her twin brother Miki, forever destined to live in his shadow. Once she entered middle school, she changed this dynamic by cultivating a scandalous reputation of collecting boyfriends as if they were cheap jewelry, casually adding and discarding them on a whim. While she has a few casual friends, most people are afraid of forming close friendships with her because of her legendary vicious streak. A self-proclaimed wild animal, she has little respect for anyone's power or position, and is willing to suffer disapproval from everyone, most especially her twin.

Background

My twin sister and I used to play with the piano like a toy, in that garden, ever since we were old enough to understand such things. Our playing always used to surprise the grown-ups of the neighborhood. Now I realize all my happiness rested in that garden but... I ruined it.

Well I never had the talent, or the interest. When I was very young, there was a boy next door who often gave me love letters. He always said, 'I love your piano playing.' He had the mistaken idea that I could play the piano well. Since I'd always played with my brother, people thought I was as good as he was. He was such a genius that no matter how much I played, he could cover for it. But when we had a concert... he came down with a fever, and it all fell apart.

Without warning, she fled into the dark and hid. For some time after, she wouldn't say a word. After that she stopped playing the piano.

It came out that I couldn't do anything by myself.

Until then I never realized how much I loved her playing, and how much I loved that garden. No matter how much my technique improved, I couldn't capture that quality of her play. And that's all I continue to play for.

I really haven't thought about that in a while. I remember there was this girl who always came to watch my brother play. Maybe she enjoyed coming more after I was gone?

Rumors

An Ohtori girl who crossed her had an unfortunate accident down the stairs, then later went missing.

It's said one of the most popular boys at Infinity confessed to her at lunch, and she rejected him. A few swear that only a few weeks before, he tripped and broke his arm in an argument with her, but surely that was just an accident. If you'd had seen what happened that day at lunch you'd know there's no way foul play was involved.

She's said to be using enthusiastic Ohtori fashion club volunteers as her personal assistants, but some say she's dating them.

There's been an unusual number of sightings of her in Ueno as of late, particularly near an old concert hall. Is this a secret spot of hers to get away from it all? Or a choice location for a scandalous tryst?

The Kaoru family lawyers are thought to be heavily involved in Tsuru's business dealings.

The more scandalous rumors involve her being seen on a date with a Yakuza kyodai.

Expelled from Ohtori: The reasons for this are sealed, but rumors go from as tame as 'too many tardies' to 'caught in lewd acts in the music room' all the way 'blew up the pool'.

Abilities and Powers

Swimming - Kozue typically enjoys swimming, she's a former ace on the Ohtori swim team.

Emotional Power - When it comes to sexual maturity, Kozue doesn't seem like someone who can exist at such a young age. She wields emotional power that is both envied and hated by her peers and even some adults. And yet at what cost did that come to someone so young?

Pianist - While her public front is that she's a hideous piano player compared to her brother, it's simply that she doesn't want her skill compared to his. As a result, she plays the piano in private where it won't be overheard- and always just for herself. She stays in practice but she doesn't quite have her twin's dedication to it...

Stair Mastery - +10 to all checks involving grappling or shoving near stairs.

HiME - Kozue is a HiME, her HiME mark is by her left shoulderblade, one of the parts of the body governed by Gemini. She used to take care to keep it covered, but now after being outted she's rather brazen about it.

Element - Her Element is a Kusarigama. The weighted end it is larger than normal, and has retractable blades that can be revealed as a surprise mid swing. The chain itself seems to extend into the handle of the sickle itself and it's range is deceptively large. It can seemingly grow just as long or retract to be just as short as she needs to be.

Child - Her Child is Cassandra, which has the distinctive look of a mechanical armored swan with a few peacock attributes at the crest upon the head when summoned. It's wings which look deceptively thin and delicate are heavily laden with razors and are actually the strongest part of the Child, battering and rending anything that tries to come close. However, most of it's powers go into water manipulation directly controlling and shaping it, and altering both surface tension and pressure. While Cassandra can create water, she does her best work next to a source of it, her movement relying primarily on waterskimming rather than flight or ambulation.

Relationships

Managing her Social Life.

Sayaka Miki - Her Knight. The two are different as different can be but the emotional intimacy between them is one of the driving forces of her life right now. So much has fallen apart but because of her she's optimistic about their future... together.

Miki Kaoru - Her big brother. She loves him as much as she hates him, she'll never forgive anyone who harms him. In her exile the two may be further apart than ever - yet for the first time in her life she believes that their relationship might come to be more than mutual discord.

Tsuru - The Couturier. A bargain struck and dreams shared, all to become someone who cannot be refused. The most trusted advisor Kozue has - and now her refuge from Ends of the World.

Nori Ankou - The Red Twin. Resentment has finally boiled over between Akamira and Aohime, and their feelings of jealousy might drive their future of reactions.

Mai Tokiha - The self-sacrificing waitress. Despite the two never getting along, she feels an enormous sense of gratitude towards her. However it's not so enormous that she'll let it distract her from her goals.

Mikoto Minagi - The adorable berserker. Despite having an almost childlike innocence about her, she feels most people underestimate this girl and her intelligence. She doesn't hold the same illusions, she's seen her in an uncontrolled rage.

Natsuki Kuga - The Conspiracy Theorist. She just can't stand how uptight and self-righteous this girl is, but sometimes she can be useful.

Shizuru Fujino - The Vice-President. Dangerous and sadistic. The two understand each other /too/ well now.

Utena Tenjou - A Normal Girl. Did she really deserve to fall like that? Kozue would like to believe that it's not about deserving anything, but what Utena said to her before makes her wonder...

Anthy Himemiya - The Rose Bride. She understands more about why she tried to learn that song every time she meets her, but now she belongs to Araki...

Setsuna Higashi - The Sheltered. How can you not know what that is? At least you're away from that overprotective family of yours.

Setsuna Meioh - The Wrathful. Losing her temper has never cost her more dearly...

Mysterious Counselor - Kozue doesn't remember well what happened here, only that she dreads thinking of Nemuro Hall. The strong temptation to do something horrible to someone she cares about wholly disconnected from this experience - or whoever was directing her in that booth. She normalizes the experience as seeing one of many bad counselors in her life.

Sailor Uranus - The Soldier. There's a lot she'd like about her under many other circumstances...

Sailor Neptune - The Ruthless. Far too perceptive and far too dangerous in her limited exposure.

Kasagami Araki - The King. Exiled from the King's court, she'll not soon forgive how she gloated over her when she was at rock bottom - and believes the circumstances of her arrival are greatly suspect.

Zoisite - The Petty Pianist - Dead and gone. Her only regret is she wasn't the one to put him in his grave.
