Personality:
Shy, Quiet, Artistic, Creative, Kind, Caring, Exciteable, Secretive, Thoughtful, Abrasive, ResponsibleMeet Kimiko! She is a young adult with many responsibilities that often put a strain on her life. Despite sacrificing her personal goals, Kimiko would never complain about it; that is just the way things have to be and she understands that. Having an outstanding artistic ability, Kimiko is often spending her free time creating paintings or sculpting creations of various sizes and ideas. Though when she isn't getting her art on, Kimiko can be seen either at the library or with her friends. Despite being shy and quiet, Kimiko has managed to form lasting friendships with a few people. She believes that her loyalty, kindness, and thoughtful nature has achieved her friendships that are so meaningful. Often times, Kimiko is thrilled about going on friend-dates (that is what she calls going to the movies, dinner, or anything else really with her besties), that she spends the entire day getting ready and baking goods for her friends. However, despite Kimiko's friendly nature, she can be a bit abrasive at times and heartless too. On occasions, Kimiko gets into this mood where she doesn't want anything to do with anyone. She just was her day to be over and to be curled up in bed with a nice book. Some people described her as harsh or secretive because she refuses to let people in during those times, but real friends know they just have to let her do her thing for a bit and then she'll come back to her perky self.
History:
Kimiko Elaine Underwood was born three months prematurely. Her parents, Ed and Mio Underwood feared their second born would not make it a week in this world, so they prepared for the family to come to visit her before she passed. However, despite the diagnosis, Kimiko survived and gained strength slowly. After nearly seven months in the hospital, Ed and Mio were able to take their child home with them. Kimiko was unlike any other child the Underwoods had, she was calm and quiet. They often had to check to make sure she was still breathing since she'd sit still for so long. Mio often described her child as "talking with angels." Her quietness seemed to follow her all throughout her life. When Kimiko turned five, she began to attend school in Rosewood (a K-8th-grade school). She often was bullied and picked on for many different things, mainly because she was too shy and quiet to speak up for herself. She was an easy target.
It wasn't until fifth grade that Kimiko made friends, however, she was two years older than Kimiko and would soon be going to high school. Amara was kind to Kimiko and taught her how to stick up for herself, Kimiko was grateful for such a caring friend. When Kimiko entered high school, she was a little different. She was still quiet and shy around certain people, but she was also very abrasive and blunt towards others. No one seemed to bother her anymore unless they wanted a favor. Often times, Kimiko would agree to help, but other times when she said no she would receive hurtful retorts. Kimiko spent most of high school dreaming about escaping high school, but during her sophomore year of college, she wanted nothing more to be back in high school where her father taught.
Ed Underwood was diagnosed with a stage 4 glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor that affected the spine as well as the brain. He was quickly hospitalized and passed away three weeks after his diagnosis. Kimiko became reclusive for quite some time, hating the world more than usual. It was months before Kimiko showed back up to school. It took her two best friends, Jasper and Amara, to get her out of her house and back to doing what she loved. Kimiko created a powerful piece of art for her father and ended her sophomore year of college on a high note. It would be two years later that Mio, Kimiko's mother, fell severely ill and was bedridden due to an unknown disease. Kimiko, needed to provide for her three younger siblings, quit school months before graduating and took up a full-time position at the library. Her older brother helped a lot since he was a lawyer, but Kimiko knew she had to work too and take care of the children, while he took care of their mom.
Secrets:
- Kimiko has never dated someone, and since she is saving herself for someone special, she is a virgin.
- Kimiko smokes weed to help her through her depressive episodes. It helps her to get up and working during those weeks.
- Kimiko was in the middle of making one sculpture and one painting of her two best friends when she quit art school. It was going to be her final project at the school. The sculpture depicted Amara as a greek goddess, holding Kimiko's favorite flowers (orchids) in one hand and Jasper's favorite camera around her neck. The painting depicted Jasper at Kimiko's favorite spot in town, wearing the jacket she bought him as a Christmas present, surrounded by orchids and Amara's favorite pair of heels were lying near the park bench he sat on. The painting and sculpture are not finished, but the design pages for them are.

What is she struggling with?
Kimiko is struggling with a lot of different aspects of her life. She feels like a failure for dropping out, she is struggling to make enough money to stay afloat sometimes, she is bipolar so she struggles with going from manic to depressive episodes. She has anxiety, which doesn't help anything. She really doesn't want to lose her mother and hopes the doctors can find out what is wrong and cure it.
Is it a secret?
Hell no! Try hiding your mother being placed into a nursing home from a tiny ass town. If you ain't telling anyone, one of the blabbers mouths at the home is! Kimiko does, however, suffer through her bipolar disorder alone. She hates bothering others with her problems.
