Description

EDIT2: fixed some stuff about the name. Her real name isn't Chizuru, of course and she has adopted many names over the course of her afterlife.

EDIT1: Kamiko now knows about Chizuru, and they are good buddies. /dies


For :icontatakai-club:
Not a proper character, just a 'side OC' 


This is the reveal of a new(ish) character, and the background behind Chi-tan.
I just wanted to flesh her out a little more, and give her more meaning than simply 'Kamiko's favorite doll'. 
So here is her story! Please enjoy.

If you have any questions or are confused about anything in her story, please ask me!

Isobel Reyne was once a powerful witch of 11th - 12th century Europe, although her beginning was similar to Kamiko's.

As a child, she had shown much potential for being extremely powerful, and for this, she was cursed by an older witch, worried that she would be overtaken in the future. This curse made her body into that of a child's, forever. However, Isobel's personality continued to grow, and despite any and all setbacks, she continued on to become a mighty witch, respected by many, despite her childish appearance.

As someone so revered and wise, Isobel was forced to behave as wise and mature as possible, in order to negate her appearance. Inside, she often wished that she could relax, but if she was to have the respect of others, this was not possible.

Eventually, she died, however that damn curse prevented her from passing on correctly, and she remained on Earth as a spirit. As a spirit, all her inhibitions were released, and she reveled in the freedom of death, as well as releasing her inner, zesty personality.

She wandered the earth for many centuries, occasionally befriending the living, or other spirits, and helping them to pass on.
As time wore on, she adopted many names, settling on 'Chizuru Tomomiya' when she decided to spend some time in Japan.

Kamiko Chiya was not born with her power to control dolls, at least, not fully. However, she was born with the potential for many different powers, and a keen sense of the supernatural.

With her secluded upbringing, Kamiko's loneliness radiated outwards, and as a spirit, Chizuru could feel this. Sensing the anguish of someone so similar to herself, Chizuru decided to aid the girl throughout her life, and thus awakened Kamiko's powers. She also possessed the body of the first doll created by Kamiko.

---

They can also speak to each other, although Kamiko is currently not aware of Chizuru's past, or the fact that she is a human (ish).

Chizuru plans to reveal herself to Kamiko very soon, so that they can be friends and partners. It will also enable her to possess the doll in a very different and advanced way, harnessing Kamiko's power. She will be able to transform the doll into what appears to be a small human, thus temporarily regaining a proper body, meaning she can speak properly, and interact with others. She will not have any powers, of course, but she will still be able to follow Kamiko's orders. If she is harmed (badly) in this state, she will revert to doll form.

She can switch freely between the doll & humanoid form, and her spirit can also leave the doll, although this changes very little, as the doll can still be controlled by Kamiko. This does enable her to 'scout' for Kamiko though. 

---

Chizuru has acquainted herself with Temperence, the companion of Sakura, and they have an uneasy relationship, often chatting together (in plush form) whilst their masters are spending time together.

Despite being very old, and wise, Chizuru likes to appear younger. She speaks well, but is argumentative, and fairly similar in personality to Kamiko. She is often conflicted though, as she wants people to respect her and her knowledge. As a result of this, she will commonly switch between childish and wise personalities/ways of speaking.

---

As Kamiko grows older, and begins to rely less on Chizuru, she will eventually take her leave, going off as she has always done, and assisting other people.
