Full History:
Sora was born on the 17th of June, one in a set of twins. Her twin sister, Sara, was the better one of the two. Perfect at anything she does, Sara was the one to achieve top grades, the first one to master an ability. She was strong and reliable, unlike Sora who was born with a weaker body. As a result, Sara was always the one to protect Sora, speaking up for her shier sister and shielding her from danger. Sora lived most of her childhood largely dependant on Sara to be there by her side, and her big sister was her only sun in the world, the only one she could depend on without a second thought.
She didn't realise when she realised that her feelings toward her sister was more complicated than one of purely love and admiration. Being the prodigal child of the family, her parents doted on Sara. She was the one who shined the brighter of the two, and often got gifts and rewards for her brilliant performance in school and in sports, leaving Sora in the shadows. No matter how much Sora tried, her sister was somehow always able to surpass her effortlessly. It wasn't that their parent's weren't supportive of her as well, but Sora always felt useless. She was unneeded and the unnecessary one of the two, no matter what she does she always needs to do better. Sora didn't just want words of encouragement from her parents, she yearned for their acknowledgment as well.
It was because of such a wish that she began trying to practice in secret, picking up a number of other abilities and trying her best to make people acknowledge her no matter what. She became quite skilled in a variety of things, from sewing and cooking to fighting and reflexes, but none of it ever caught their parents' attention in comparison to her perfect sister. And yet, she couldn't say that she hated her sister. Sara was always there for her when she needed it, the one who wiped away her tears when she was upset and the one who took on all the blame for her when one of their pranks went wrong. Yet despite it all, Sora felt a sense of unjust. Her talent could never outshine her sister's perfection, until the fateful day.
They were only 11 when they met with an incident on their way to school. A flowerpot fell from the sky, right above Sora when Sara noticed and shoved her out of the way, only to be hit with the pot in Sora's place. Despite being rushed to the hospital, one of the shards was embedded deeply into Sara's right eye, making her permanently blind. Because of such a thing, Sara was unable to keep up her performance, her partial blindness proving to be a great hurdle for her to get across. It was an incident that impacted the both of them greatly, but Sora felt the most guilt. It was partly because the fact that her sister was hurt was for her, but mostly because of the unforgivable thoughts she had when her sister was blinded.
Thank God... I can stop trying now.
In order to make up for her crime, Sora tried doubly hard for the both of them. She focused on the skills Sara used to be good at and refined them to higher levels, supporting her sister at the same time. The protected had to become the protector, and despite being initially unused to the change Sora warmed up to her new responsibilities quickly. To make up for all the times she has been helped, she began to try her best to help others, her sensitivity and skill causing her to solve a great deal of troubles for her family and friends.
Four years passed since then, and Sora got the invitation to join the school as the SHSL Helper. Taking her leave from her family, she vowed to do her best in the school, but it seems that fate has played yet another cruel joke on her in the form of a talking bear.
