Tatsuma (Taht-soo-mah)
Age: Physically 16. + 1 Human-year
Hight: 5'11
Interests: Climbing trees, tasting new things (especially sweets), exploring, sporty competition, practical jokes (but usually just to get upset reactions out of people she enjoys teasing) Snooping~
Transformed from a black "daisy", Tatsuma has the talent of focusing her energy into destruction. She hasn't found much reason to trust many people, since being run from Yoruki's village, but always finds reasons to pick fights with them (Especially when she is mistaken for a boy).
Tatsuma's fiery instincts to protect her loved ones go far, although she's also careless and often inconsiderate. For her, life is either a game or a battlefield. You fight to protect yourself (even emotionally) or dedicate way too much time into messing with your friends! She sticks with Sikue, who she sees as a sister, and Yokiro, whom is a favorite target of hers. Her feelings on Deshin and Seshun, however, are questionable.
Sikue (See-koo)
Age: Physically 16. + 1 Human-year
Hight: 5'7
Interests: Warm-hearted cartoons/stories, singing, scenic locations, humans and human-stuff, and a still developing love for literature (writing and reading)
Transformed from a white rose. Her abilities are focused more on healing and protection. Although she gets tongue tied when actually trying to talk to them, Sikue has a fascination with the human way of life. Her soft-heartedness sometimes stretches to a fault, making her gullible or easy to take advantage of, but that does not necessarily mean that she cannot put up a struggle.
She's often exasperated with her flower companion, Tatsuma, but they rely on one another. As for Yokiro, she can't help but be interested in everything he does. ( "I-it's just because human's are fascinating! o//,//o" ) She has a passion for learning.
Yokiro Antory (Yo-kee-row An-toh-ree)
Age: 18
Height: 5'11
Interests: Sleeping, actually getting to eat, superheros, sword fighting (though he sucks at it), group games, slightly in architecture and foundation structures, dogs and small animals, ~family~
Not far from being an 'average guy', Yokiro left home to live on his own when he turned 18, pursuing his promise to his older brother to learn to fight his own battles. With a lack of success in his small Samurai training class, he'd returned, disappointed, to his shabby cabin, to find Sikue and Tatsuma there. Since meeting them, he's taken on new priorities as mind boggling threats come at him and the flower girls.
Despite his efforts, Yokiro always has been a bit of a coward in a fight. He has his eccentric moments, but overall, he's friendly and easygoing as long as he can put up with Tatsuma's jokes. He gets along well with Sikue. ("What? Who told you?!")
Ginari (Gee-nah-ree)
Age: Physically, 23. Aged 2 human years
Height: 5'8
Interests: Enjoys sweets, dragon folklore, and has a secret admiration for soapy romance stories.
Transformed to a benta (human-hybrid) from a dragonfly. Ginari was Zesh's first creation and, from him, was granted the ability to create dragons. She'll pursues her orders in hunting down the flower benta, but has a strong desire for freedom.
She's has a protective and motherly relationship with Mae, and is also forming a keen bond with Tōcko, as they find they have a lot in common. Recently, though, she's been acting a little strange...
Mae (May)
Age: Physically 5. Aged 1(1/2) human years.
Height: 1'6
Interests: Chasing birds, pretending to be a hero, roughhousing, spreading his wings in sunlight, staying up late...
Transformed from a kitten to a benta, but with the transformation fractured by a feather in his fur. Mae's regularly playful, as any child would be, but surprisingly understanding for his age, with the situation he is in. He tries to escape occasionally to meet the other benta and make sure they're safe. He was a close playmate of Kannae's.
Tōcko (Toh-ko)
Age: Physically 29. Age 4(1/2) in human years
Height: 6'5
Interests: Ginari, freedom, and taking naps in fresh green grass.
Once a brawling tom-cat, Tōcko shares the same mother as Mae. He hasn't been a benta as long, which leaves his english very broken, but his intentions are straight forward and he's skilled at reading what people are saying. Being fierce and with an independent nature, there is a lot to be said about his feelings towards his master.
Zesh
Age: ?
Height: ?
Interests: Benta. Collecting souls he can control...the obvious bad-guy stuff.
The one who has began the 'chain of sin' and who first sent Ginari to hunt the flowers.
Seshun Antory (Seh-shoon)
Age: 20
Height: 6'
Interests: Fantasies, trivia, deep cultural + historical entertainment like dancing and theater, reading, beenton, lap cats, invigorating challenges, the un-tamable, traveling
Yokiro's older brother who moved out, hopeful to live a fulfilling life, and was actually extremely underwhelmed with what the world in their small island has to offer. Now he's stuck with the job of moving imported goods. He enjoys company but enjoys the quiet even more-so. Seshun's language and wits are articulate, and it's enough to get on Yokiro's nerves when Seshun outshines Yokiro as the 'perfect child'.
Seshun just seems to have his own moments of misbehavior, but is better at not getting caught. ( Rumor says he secretly has womens' clothing in his closet! Dun dun dun! )
Kenber Omnson
Age: 15
Height: 5'6
Interests: Flashy clothes, flowers, veggies, medicinal herbs, etc... girls, hugs, friendship
Traumatized by the murder of his parents as a child, he grew into a troublesome thief. After a dangerous run-in with a crazed lunatic, he was forced to face that his own actions were hurting others and made a promise to better himself.
It was after that he became the assistant to Janice Boshey with tasks she was too old to do on her own. It may not be evident at first, but once he becomes friends with our protagonists, his true self emerges as a goofball who loves to flirt and make others laugh. Deep down, the poor guy is pretty clingy and eager for affection.
Janice Boshey (Jan-ees Bow-shee)
Age: 83
Height: 5'3
Interests: Gardening, has a special interest in plants and herbs, mysterious questions of life, fluffy things...
Janice Boshey was evidently a bit of a "wild child" in her younger years, but has settled down and lived happily with her family until all had passed but her grown daughter, who lives a long distance from her. (2 sons passed at young ages and her husband passed 5 years before she's introduced in the story) She spends her life in her gardening business, creating remedies and medicines from the plants as well as decorative arrangements. She's become rather overbearing, but maybe she just really likes to have company, being an empty nester.
Yoruki Marter (Yo-roo-kee)
Age: 24
Height: 5'10
Interests: Spiritual types of things, children, adventure movies, and has a thing for cooking (but Deshin prefers she stays away from the kitchen)
Yoruki is a gentle and welcoming soul with a bit of a mischievous streak. She Found Sikue and Tatsuma while they were still new to being 'human', and took them in as if they were her own children. She'd tried to keep them from being found, but in the end, the flower girls fled soon after she was married to Deshin. She'd always hoped they would be safe in their absence.
Deshin would describe her as a naïve dreamer.
Deshin Marter (Deh-sheen)
Age: 23
Height: 6'1
Interests: Wood work, being a good husband (he tries too hard), and trains
A more private individual, maybe even a little shy, Deshin is drawn to Yoruki's bright shining nature. He works as a carpenter. While Yoruki insisted on keeping the strange flower girls, Deshin kept a suspicious eye on them, knowing very well they weren't human and could be a danger to his fiancé/wife. A bit overprotective and irrational, his heart was at least in the right place.
He was regretful of his treatment of the girls soon after he saw the damage done with turning the townspeople against them. He's certainly not keen on trying new things. A man of method.
Kannae (Kahn-nay)
Age: 13
Height: 5'1
Interests: Playing with Mae, not much else known
Transformed from a mouse after Mae and Ginari, Kannae had a strong sense of righteousness, but wasn't aware enough of how cruel the world could have been.
Currently, his spirit is still trapped inside of Zesh's staff.
