This is to help out our entering Shinsengumi characterHistory
-------
The background we are working with (agreed upon both players of Susumu and Ayu) is that their father was a doctor (but he is the person with the link to their clan), and their mother wasn't exactly specified.
(This is still to be resolved in game. Part of
development thread here.)
For the sake of refreshing folks memories, Ayu disappeared from the compound for unknown reasons late spring, well before the events of Ikedaya. To date, we have been playing that Saitou and Okita don't know why, although they may have various suspicions. (See
these journals for a partial explanation.)
What the Shinsengumi should know about Ayu are the basics: she cooked for them, and her food was generally considered very good :D. Den-mother describes her fairly well.
What I could not gather from PMK is how well people understood her "real job." I think most did, although it was never discussed openly as Tetsunosuke was not clued in until much later. (Tatsunosuke did realize it fairly early on, when Ayu dressed Tetsu's scratches.)
Hobbies and interests:
---------------------
Her hobbies and likes: Less so from PMK, but just things that I think most observant Shinsengumi would have noticed.
She
likes loves children, likes animals, flowers, artistic artifacts, asking questions, looking at things, and is generally inquisitive, although sometimes won't express her questions.
Enjoys stories, being taught various things, tends towards medicinal applications sometimes (although that might have been more due to the fact that she was one of the few women around).
Ask away, Miburo-players, if there is anything else you need or want to know.
