psychology.
[/font][/center]THE POSITIVE: Kourin is a very bubbly and friendly little girl. She always has a smile on her face and is a faithful optimist. She is endlessly curious and always has her nose in something. She has unshakable faith and perseverance (but what some call perseverance, others call stubborn- or pig-headed-ness). She is eager-to-please and loves to of use. Nothing fulfills her more than putting a smile on someone's face.
THE NEGATIVE: That is not to say that Kourin is perfect. She is extremely passive and if you push her, she'll just go with whatever you say. She is easily frightened and bullied. Perhaps due to her youth, she is dreadfully proud and hates being wrong. She tends to judge by appearance. She is also a bit of a spotlight hog, as she craves attention. She is extremely impulsive. She hardly ever speaks and even she is performing, to hear her sing is unusual. She is extremely shy and frightened of basically the whole world.
DELIGHTS: Kourin loves candy and bright colors. She loves the seasons spring and winter. She loves listening to fairy tales, having a special love for all things romantic. She holds a special place in her heart for the ocean, despite only having seen it once. But the one thing she loves more than almost anything else in the world is entertaining.
DETESTS: Kourin has a deep-seated distrust of men with beards (though this is less of a dislike and more of an irrational and wholly amusing fear). She greatly dislikes thunderstorms and the season of summer. She doesn’t like being alone, which leads to her sometimes being a bit clingy to people. She doesn’t like being reminded of what she doesn’t have. She dislikes being made fun of or watching other people being mocked.
THEIR STORY: Kourin is a born spirit, the offspring of two demons. She was born in the snowy northern mountains of Kiba but she did not remain there for very long. She was actually raised by her father, for her mother was a woman who did not take to the wandering ways. As soon as Kourin was old enough to live without nursing, her father, a carver by the name of Gen, took his daughter and left. Kourin never found out if this action was accepted or approved of by her mother, for she never saw the woman again.
Though she occasionally grieved not knowing her mother, Kourin enjoyed the wandering life as much as, if not more than, her father. She loved seeing new places and meeting new people and most of all she loved to perform. Though he was not a performer himself, her father encouraged her passion and often called her his "little songbird". They traveled all over Kiba and often to other countries as well, leaving Kourin as a deeply cultured and happy child.
When Kourin was a young child, she remembers seeing the ocean. She can't recall exactly when or why she was there, but she holds the image it left in her heart forever. Even after all these years, she still feels a call to the wild blue that she has yet to satisfy.
But shortly after she reached her second decade, Kourin and her father were in an area near her birthplace and, for sentiments sake, agreed to go and visit the town of her birth. As they traveled the mountain, however, a blizzard and an avalanche separated them. Kourin woke up days later in the village, but there was no news of her father; apparently she had stumbled into the town alone, calling out for her papa desperately. She still had her belongings: the one bag she carried on her person which contained her outfits and a flute her father had crafted for her as a child. Though people searched, there was no sign of Kourin's father anywhere and they were forced to admit that he was lost forever in the storm.
Kourin has hardly spoken a word since that time. Her optimism, however, shines as bright as ever and she still faithfully believes that one day she and her father will be reunited. It has been five years since that incident and Kourin is still searching, listening closely and watching carefully for any sign that he might be alive, looking for her as desperately as she is for him.

[/font][/center]ABILITIES: Kourin has the ability to produce and control small flashes of color and light. She usually uses this in her performances and the lights can vary from lots of tiny dancing dots (like fireflies) to large and elaborate illusions (which take a lot of concentration and a lot of time).
She also has a small amount of control over ice and snow, though this power is something that she is still striving to perfect. She can, at this point, do no more than more snowflakes around or use a bit of water to form a small wall of ice (and by small, I mean about a foot square).
WEAPONRY: The only thing Kourin carries to defend herself a little bitty knife and it’s mostly for show (or something). Even if the situation required, she probably wouldn’t be brave enough (or think things through enough) to use it.
