Koumori

Koumori Ritoru Koumori was born to a loving single mother. When Koumori was a young child, her mother would take her to the field not far from their home, where they would have picnics and play outside in barely tamed nature. They would spend all night together, enjoying the wonders of the outdoors and telling stories. Koumori’s mother would tell her about when she was giving birth to her in mid spring and how a shooting star fell that very night. As it fell from sky, she closed her eyes to make a wish for her baby girl, and as that very star fell it landed upon her eyes, giving her a glimmer of hope and warmth and the fierceness of fire and wit. These stars in each of her eyes were granted to her to guide her in the night, leaving her with a natural asterism, so her mother told her. She took this to heart and dreamt of traveling among the stars her eyes beheld. Growing up, Koumori would frequently venture to that same grassy field she knew all too well, to look up in wonder of the vast sky above in the midst of nightfall. She dreamed of roaming the galaxy just like in books she read, the dangers and excitement of the unknown world above dancing in her head. She would listen to the soft whispers of the wind caressing the tall grass and read her books under the night sky. As dawn would break, the stars twinkling out and leading her to dreamland, she’d smile whispering “Adventure” as she drifted off into her slumber, laying cozy on her blanket. Older, but still young at heart, Koumori’s sense of adventure was one thing that never vanished. The world might have opened her eyes to many things just like in books, but this only made her strive to be stronger and stay true to the warm and witty person she is, to achieve her dreams of roaming the skies and becoming a Bounty Hunter.
