Difference between revisions of "Dona Kimura"

DAIYA: Kaya Matsutani (JP), Megan Hollingshead (EN)

Few people in Seven Sisters High School haven't heard the rumors surrounding Dona Kimura. A self-styled "witch", the girl is known for her barely-concealed misanthropy, disturbing passion for the occult and fixation on a handheld mirror she always carries on her person. Her antisocial behavior and overweight body have made her a prime canditate for mean-spirited gossip, earning her the nickname "Donuts". One particularly well-known rumor spread about her several months ago, however, has spawned a Shadow within Dona who, unbeknownst to all (including herself), periodically takes over her body. In this state, she is known as Daiya Kagami, a girl whose cheerful, whimsical personality and impossibly attractive body could not be a further cry from that of her original self. While to most she seems innocent, if quirky, very few people know that there is much more to her than meets the eye...

DONA:

• Lecture: "The oldest discovered mummified human corpse was a decapitated head dated as 6,000 years old..."
• Stare: "....."
• Breakdown: "D-don't call me that..."
• Curse: "...Watch out for bugs."

DAIYA:

• Kid Around: "I'm totally a reporter from Coolest Magazine, and I'm here to interview you!"
• Tease: "Remember to drink your milk, and I'm sure you'll grow up sooner or later!"
• Praise: "Brave /and/ smart! That's so great!"
• ????: ??????

• As of writing this, no one really has much of a reason yet to see a link between Dona Kimura and Daiya Kagami. Why would there be one? They're completely different in so many ways!
• According to the rumors, Dona Kimura is a weirdo who keeps snails in her pencilbox.
• Daiya Kagami has a trio of groupies following her everywhere! Their names are apparently Keiko, Aiko and Yuuko.
• Dona is part of the occult club, but keeps to herself most of the time. Daiya is part of the swimming team and wants you to know it, even if her presence at practice is sporadic at best.
• While Daiya was originally a third-year to Dona's second, hilarious antics involving Principal Hannya prevented the former from graduating. The two are now both third-years, though apparently not in the same class?
• ...In fact, no one knows for sure exactly which class Daiya is in.
• After a heated political campaign, Daiya lost the presidency of Seven Sisters High's student council to Naomi Suzuno. She still has a seat as vice-president, however, and hopes to make the most of it!
• It's said (though thankfully not widely rumored) that Dona Kimura getting better-adjusted may or may not somehow end the world.

A few months ago, a rumor circulated about how Dona Kimura, whenever she looked at herself in the mirror, turned into a beautiful but wicked witch. Kotodama being what it is, the effect was one none could predict: Now, whenever she looks at herself in her mirror, Dona turns into the seductive and whimsical Daiya Kagami, a Shadow taking human form to act upon Dona's desires and fantasies.

One could say Daiya acts as a form of split personality, who shares her body but looks completely different thanks to the Shadow's influence. Dona isn't consciously aware of her little escapades as Daiya, but Daiya perfectly knows what she is and which rules govern her.

When using her powers to their fullest extent, Daiya turns into a form referring to herself as the Wicked Queen, inspired by the stepmother of Snow White from the well-known fairy tale. The mirror connection is obvious, but her cruel, vain, jealous and capricious nature suits Daiya to a tee.

Most people with Resonance-sensing abilities will find absolutely nothing strange about Dona Kimura. Attempts at concentrating on her specifically, however, will result in the odd feeling of their attempt to sense her being deflected elsewhere. Only those with the most acute detection skills will notice a trace of a frightening power dormant within her. Inversely, she has no sensing abilities to speak of in this form.

Daiya's Resonance, similarly, seems virtually inexistent without a bit of focus and skill, but there is a lot more to see beyond the veil. It calls to mind the sight of extravagant fabrics, the feel of fingers running through soft hair and the enticing taste of sweet, fresh fruit. Focusing on it further, however, may cause one to notice that feeling goes much, much further, like the endless corridor that stretches through two mirrors facing each other, inviting one to lose themselves in it for all eternity.
