Hello everyone! I'm Tiffany and I'm ~*~new~*~, complete with sparkles and energy and earnestness. I'm twenty, a junior at a university somewhere on the east coast, and an Anthropology/Asian/Pacific-American Studies double-major with a minor in English (previously a major: dropped because I SERIOUSLY CANNOT STAND OLD ENGLISH, I APOLOGIZE A THOUSAND TIMES OVER. DO NOT HAVE THE PATIENCE NOR THE INTEREST TO PUT MYSELF THROUGH IT AGAIN). Feel free to add my cdj millefeuilles or contact me via g-mail (cakemixing) or aim (sesame milk tea). I'm available ALL THE TIME because I'm on my last week and a half of vacation, but come the start of the new semester, expect to see me during the evenings. ANYWAYS, ENOUGH BABBLE ABOUT ME. HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN.
No, this is not Mr. Saito – it just looks like him. But vendors, merchants, and market-goers might want to take interest in Yoshinori Hashimoto! Yoshi's a merchant too, and he comes from a long, long line of merchants: if you go up far enough on his family tree, you find out that one of his ancestors was lucky enough to marry a merchant's daughter and it goes on from there. Thus, Yoshi's been all around the world and raised by various families; he's fluent in a number of languages as a result, such as Chinese, Japanese, and English. He spends most of his time in the Hashimoto family home in Sapporo, but thanks to portals and things like that, he's pretty much everywhere.
A few notes on his personality as well: Yoshi, to most people, comes off as a surprisingly easygoing man. He's rarely perturbed and seems to maintain a sense of calm no matter the situation. Very difficult to rile him up. Harmless. My whole concept of him was this sort of affable zen uncle, which he pulls off very well – but it's not him at all. Beneath the surface, Yoshi is as conniving as the next merchant, ambitious, and a family man (note that lower-case F; he's loyal to things outside of the merchants). He's also marionnettes's second-cousin (her father being his actual cousin) but in lieu of the Iwakura fail, Yoshi's taken up the mantle in being a caring family member for Marion and views her as one of his own.
I think that's everything so I'm just going to say I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY WITH YOU GUYS. I'VE BEEN STALKING SINCE FOREVER.
