Perfect match for those kimono and obi depicting all-season plants (chrysanthemum, pinks, cherry blossom and maple leaves) kusudama.

Kusudama (flower ball, lit. ”medecine ball”) were originally kind of potpourri pouches which were hung on Tango no sekku (5th day of the 5th month, today held in May as Kodomo no hi). Kusudama would be kept until the 9th day of the 9th month (Chrysanthemum/double ninth Festival) and then replaced by chrysanthemum flowers.

Auspicious goshiki no ito (five long dangling ribbons) were used to close and hang kududama. In rich households, the ornamental pouch would be made of luxurious Nishiki brocade. Inside, you could find jakō (musk/incense), jinkō (agarwood), chōji (cloves), kanshō (a kind of honeysuckle?), ryūnō (kind of camphor), etc. All those elements were thought to ward of evil and prevent illness.

Overtime, the pouch slowy became a kind of flower arrangement. Because of their auspicious nature, they are often found on antique girl and women garments.

^let me know if you’d like to be added/removed! Xx

You frown watching your younger brother bully your guys’ cousin. Harry has never done anything wrong, yet Dudley and your parents are absolutely atrocious to him.

“Dudley, knock it off.” You hiss, making your way over to the two.

“Why should I? You’re not mum or dad, y/n.”

“I’m still older than you, Dudley. Knock it off.”

“I’m just playing.” He whines, going to start terrorizing your cousin again.

“C’mon, Harry. Let’s go outside. We can go down to the park?” You suggest, holding your hand out for your younger cousin.

“I’m telling mum that you’re not letting me have any fun!” Dudley pouts as you lead Harry outside.

“Go ahead, brat face. I’m not scared.”

Once you and Harry have gotten to the park you let out a sigh. Everyone in your family drives you absolutely crazy. Well, everyone besides Harry. In all honesty, you and Harry were closest to each other than anyone else.

Sure you were only two when Dudley was born and then Harry showed up on your doorstep, but you felt responsible for your younger cousin.

Maybe it was because you could relate with him not having his parents. Technically you still had your parents, but in all actuality you were just as alone as him. They didn’t care for you even though you’re their oldest. They routinely pushed you aside as they did with Harry in order to please their little baby Dudley.

“Y/n, you’re going to get in trouble for this you know....” Harry trails off.

“I don’t care, Harry. There’s no reason for Dudley to be so mean to you and I’d rather take whatever my parents dish out than see you miserable.”

“But you don’t deserve it.”

“I can take it, Harry.” You smile, starting to swing beside him.

~.~

It’s hard to imagine that that was only 9 years ago. Honestly, it felt like a completely different life. You suppose it could be since shortly after that Harry had left for Hogwarts and you moved in with your best friend.

With Harry gone and having found a safe home with a friend, you didn’t see the need to stay with your parents and endure their abuse. A few short years later you emancipated yourself and changed your last name. You didn’t want any association with your birth family, and they didn’t mind one bit.

Since leaving you’ve been having a great life. Sure you had the same ups and downs as everyone; drama with friends, stress over school and grades, problems with boyfriends and dating, but it was still a lot better than having to deal with it on top of your parents toxic environment.

You hadn’t heard much from Harry since he left, which upset you a bit, but you figured he had probably found a better life too. You had gotten a few letters the first few months he was away, but they soon dwindled down to nothing. In all honesty you hadn’t heard a word from him in just about 8 1/2 years.

You were sure he had graduated by now and you only hoped he was doing well. You hope he found a job and had kept his friendships, maybe has found a girlfriend. You truly only ever wanted the best for him, but you weren’t going to lie and say that it didn’t bother you not hearing from him.

You often wondered if he had truly cut you off that easily, if maybe he grouped you in with your family even though you had always fought them. You knew that you weren’t anywhere near as interesting as whatever witches or wizards he met at school, but you had been a main part of his life before he left. You had been his friend. You hoped he hadn’t just blocked you out of his mind, but it was always in the back of your thoughts.

“Oh my god, I’m so sorry!” You exclaim as you run face-first into somebody, both of you stumbling backwards, but you’re the only one to lose your balance. You feel a hand reach out and grab your arm as another reaches around to catch your back.

“Why are you apologizing when you’re the one falling down?” You hear the person ask, amused as they chuckle at you. You recognize the voice as male, which only furthers your embarrassment.

You’ve never been good at interacting with guys. You always get far too flustered and awkward, which is probably why you’ve only had a few boyfriends to this day.

“Are you alright, love?” The man asks as he steadies you back on your feet. You nod, straightening out your clothes before looking up at whoever you had run into.

You have to remind yourself not to drop your jaw when you see him. The first thing you noticed about him was his height, he had to be a good foot taller than you. No wonder you lost your balance; you had practically run into a wall.

Secondly, you noticed how fiery his hair was. Sure you’ve seen ginger-haired people before, but you swear his was the brightest. It was honestly quite mesmerizing and you had to force yourself not to stare.

On top of that he was just extraordinarily attractive. His eyes were a gorgeous shade of brown, almost looking like pools of maple syrup. Even though you could see mischievousness inside them, his eyes were also surprisingly caring and comforting. And then his smile was so bright and sweet. You felt intoxicated by the man which is why you couldn’t help but flush when he smiles at you, quirking an eyebrow at your lack of response.

“You sure you’re alright?”

“Positive. I, uh, well. Thank you, I guess, and I am sorry for running into you. I guess I wasn’t really paying attention to where I was going.” You stutter, chuckling a bit at the end to try to play off the fact that your heart is racing a million miles a minute and your palms are starting to sweat.

“No worries, darling. In all honesty, I wasn't really paying attention either.” The man chuckles, smiling at you. “Maybe I could make up for it over lunch? That is if you haven’t got anywhere to be?”

You smile, chewing on your bottom lip as you nod.

“S-sure. I haven’t got anywhere I need to be right away.”

“Perfect. Well, let’s go then, yeah? I’m Fred, by the way.”

You nod, smiling as you chuckle at how excited this guy seems to be over the smallest things. He was so collected and confident, you honestly wonder why he would even bother offering you to lunch, but you weren’t going to complain.

“Y/n. It’s nice to meet you, Fred.”

~.~

You sigh, attempting to swallow your nerves. You and Fred have been dating for about four months now, and you’re finally going to be properly introduced to his family. You’ve met his twin brother, George, and you’ve heard more than enough to feel like you know his parents and other siblings, but you haven’t ever met them.

You were honestly surprised when he mentioned he’d like you to meet his family. For a few weeks you had been suspecting that he was hiding something, but you had no idea what. Sure you had plenty of possibilities cross your mind, but you hadn’t ever asked about any of them, not wanting to come off as insecure or bossy.

However, it had been getting harder and harder to ignore when he’d start talking about something and then would abruptly stop as if he was going to say something incriminating. Not to mention the fact he’d use words that you had never heard of and couldn’t find in any dictionary. Add all of that to how confused he seemed at the simplest of things, you were honestly starting to wonder what he could possibly be hiding.

You hear a knock on the door before you hear the click as the doorknob is turned. You smile, knowing it’s Fred.

“Hello, princess. How are you today?” He asks, walking into your bedroom and smiling at you.

“I’m...alright. I’m a bit nervous in all honesty.” You chuckle, turning around to look at your boyfriend.

“No need to be, love. I just know they’re going to love you. You’re honestly the sweetest person I know. Not to mention how gorgeous, kind, and smart you are. You tolerate my personality, but you also compliment it to no end, which my mum will adore. I promise you, hun, you have no reason to be worried.”

You smile, rolling your eyes at him as you blush. He always knew exactly what to say to comfort you and to make you flush in a matter of seconds. It’s one of his favourite things to do. He loved seeing your cheeks flush a light pink when you get embarrassed.

“You’re too sweet for your own good, Freddie.” You chuckle, moving to put in your earrings.

“That’s why you love me, though, right princess?”

“One of the reasons.” You smile, blowing him a kiss in the mirror.

He watches as you finish getting ready, only really needing to put on your jewelry and grabbing your jacket. Before long he’s leading you out to his car, ready to drive you over to meet his family.

Sure there was no reason for you to be nervous, but he had every reason to be. He hadn’t told you anything about him being a wizard, afraid you’d get too freaked out and leave. He was way too in love with you to risk you leaving him.

That's part of the reason he suggested you meet his family. He can tell you've been getting suspicious of something and he doesn't want you to think he's cheating. He thought maybe if you met his family, you'd feel a little better about what he actually is hiding.

Having you meet his family brought on a whole different wave of worries, however. He had asked them to pretend to be muggle just for the night, but he knew it would be hard seeing as he finds it hard to keep pretending.

"Freddie, love. You look worried." you point out as he drives, after a good few minutes of no conversation.

"Worried? No. Tonight will be really nice. I'm excited for you to meet everyone."

"You can be excited and worried at the same time, hun. Are you afraid I'll embarrass you? Or that I'll embarrass myself?"

You gasp as he swerves a bit, taken aback by your question. Why would he ever be embarrassed by you? As he's said, you are the sweetest person he knows and he would love to be able to show you off, its just he's more worried about his friends and family embarrassing him.

"Princess, I could never be embarrassed by you. I love you more than anything. No, I'm actually afraid that my family will embarrass me." he confesses, sighing.

You smile, squeezing his knee with your hand.

"That's what family is for, Freddie. I couldn't imagine introducing you to my family because I know they'd be more than embarrassing. Not to mention how much it'd ruin my mental health to be near them."

"You know, you've never really said much about your family. Why is that?" he asks, looking over at you in curiosity.

"Well, because it's really complicated. See, I left my actual parents and younger brother when I was fourteen. They, to put it lightly, were the worst people I've ever encountered in my life. I ended up emancipating myself and changed my last name. You've met my sister before, yeah?"

You watch as Freddie nods and you smile. He could be a really great listener when he needed to be, which is one thing you absolutely loved about him. It was really nice to cuddle up with him after a long week and tell him about what's happened.

"Well, I call her my sister, but in reality we have no relation to each other. I moved in with her and her family after I left mine, and her parents were kind enough to let me change my last name to theirs when I emancipated myself. They never adopted me or anything though, so I guess when you look at it, I don't really have a family. Just one I've made for myself."

"I never would have guessed that, princess. It makes sense now that you've never talked about them."

You nod, shrugging. It's nothing you were embarrassed or ashamed to admit, but it certainly wasn't something you would share with just anyone.

~.~

You sigh as Fred pulls into the driveway of his house. You smile at the cute, odd-shaped home and only hope that his family will like you.

He's mentioned how his family is a little odd, but how sweet they are. You can tell by the way he talks about them that he's really proud of them and it warms your heart. You figured that if you love Fred, then you'd love his family, but that didn't do anything to calm your nerves.

"You ready, princess? I just know they're going to love you. Besides, you already know George so it's not like you're not going to know anyone else."

"I know. I'm ready." you smile as he takes your hand. He places a kiss to your knuckles before opening the door and leading you inside.

You're immediately enveloped in warmth and the smell of baking and cooking. You realized this is exactly what you picture home smelling and feeling like, even though you've never had any experience with it before.

"Fred, dear, Is that you?"

"Yeah, mum. Y/N is here with me."

"Oh, perfect! dinner is just about done!" You hear the woman reply as she comes into view. Just like Fred, she sports fiery red hair as well. You smile and blush a bit as she greets you, wrapping you up in a hug right off.

"It's so nice to meet you, dear. Fred has told me so much about you, but he lacked in informing me of just how beautiful you are. No wonder he fancies you so." she chuckles.

You look over to Fred who has a light blush starting on his cheeks and you smile, hugging his mum back.

"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley. It's wonderful to meet you too."

"Oh, call me Molly, dear. There's no need to be so formal. Come sit while I call everyone else down."

You smile, happily following her into the kitchen as Fred follows you, wrapping his arm around your waist.

You look around to see family pictures and homey knick-knacks all around. You wondered if this is what a family home is supposed to feel like. You remember your mum having pictures around, but they were mainly of her, your dad, and younger brother...if your parents even got in on the pictures. Normally there were pictures of Dudley everywhere.

"How are you feeling, love?" Fred asks, leaning over to you and resting his head on your shoulder.

"Good." You smile, bringing a hand up to run through his hair. He smiles, letting out a small sigh as you play with his ginger locks.

"I love the atmosphere here, Freddie. You can tell you guys are really close and share a lot of love for one another."

"Yeah? I've always liked it here. I'm glad I get to share it with you." he smiles, kissing your cheeks just as his mum comes back into the kitchen.

"It's so nice to see you so happy, dear. I mean, you were happy about opening up the shop, but it's really nice seeing you share life with someone." Molly smiles, watching the two of you happily.

"Thanks, mum. I'm really lucky to have met Y/N. I don't think anyone else could keep up with my antics as well as she does." he jokes to which you roll your eyes at.

"Y/N?"

You turn at the call of your name, wondering who would be calling you. The only other person you knew that would be here is George.

You nearly gasp when you realize it's your cousin. There's no way to stop the dropping of your jaw, which is why Fred turns around to look at harry confused.

"Harry? What are you doing here?"

"I, uh, well, I'm dating Ginny." he sputters, just as shocked as you are.

"How do you two know each other?" Fred asks, looking between the two of you. You turn your attention to your boyfriend who looks thoroughly confused.

"Harry's my cousin...from my family, not my best friend's." you state, clarifying the relation.

"So, you're parents are?"

"Harry's Aunt and Uncle." you finish for him.

Fred still looks completely confused, but he seems to understand how you're connected. You can see his mind slowly connecting the dots and filling in the blanks.

Harry continues to look at you surprised, as you do to him. You honestly never thought you'd see him again, not after he cut you off when leaving to be a wizard. It wasn't his proudest decision, but it was his decision nonetheless and he had to acknowledge that.

"Freddie!" you gasp, your mind finally making an important connection.

He jumps as you turn to him, surprise covering your face.

"What, love?"

"You're a wizard, too?!"

you watch as he opens and closes his mouth, trying to figure out the right way to say this. He never would have guessed you knew anything about wizards and magic, but you must have seeing as you're related to Harry. That still doesn't give him the answer of if you're cool with it or not.

"How would you react if I said yes?"

"What do you mean? I'm not going to run off, if that's what you're worried about. I just, I never would have guessed."

Fred lets out the breath he's been holding, feeling the weight on his shoulder from the worry melt away to nothing.

"Uhm, well, I am. Surprise, princess."

"Well, that's lovely to have out in the air. I know it's been worrying you to no end, dear." Molly states, attempting to move things along.

"Dinner's done, if we're ready to eat."

~.~

You smile as Fred's siblings talk about their day, enjoying that they don't have to lie about what they do now. You have finished dinner awhile ago and have been sitting around the table just talking. Your head is still buzzing at the newfound information, but really all your focused on at the moment is how seeing Harry again has made you feel.

At first it was a total shock and you were a bit excited, but now as the night has progressed you've only been spiraling into a pit. Harry hasn't said much directly to you, and it makes you wonder what you could have done. Have you done anything, or has he really just ignored the fact that you're related?

"You're not saying much, princess. Is everything alright?" fred asks, leaning closer to you so only you can hear him.

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm good, freddie. Just still surprised is all." you smile, trying to convince him.

He frowns, looking over your face as you almost immediately seem to fall back into your thoughts. Something is bothering you and he needs to know what.

He's aware of how much of a shock it is to find out your significant other is a wizard, but he's hoping it isn't too much of a shock that you decide you can't handle it.

"Let's go sit in the living room for a bit, yeah? I think we need to talk."

You shrug, nodding slightly as he stands up, holding his hand out to help you up. You smile at everyone as they look to the two of you.

"Keep talking. Y/n and I just need to talk privately real quick."

the rest of his family nods, including harry and ron's girlfriend Hermione, who you found out is a friend of Harry's from school.

You follow Fred into the livingroom and smile when he pulls you onto his lap as he sits on the couch. He wraps his arms around you tightly, burying his face in your neck. You press a kiss to his temple as you rest your head against his.

"What are you thinking about, love? Honestly." he asks once he looks up at you.

You frown, trying to figure out what to say. There's so much going through your head right now and you're not sure what you should mention first.

"How do you feel about me being a wizard? It's not...upsetting is it?" he asks, hinting at his biggest fear.

You shake your head, smiling at him.

"No. No, it's not upsetting at all, hun. I just, never thought I'd meet another one, much less be dating one. I'm not upset about it at all, though. In fact, it explains why our relationship has always felt so magical to me." you chuckle, causing your boyfriend to roll your eyes. He knew you had a love for bad puns.

"You're such a bloody idiot sometimes. I love you more than anything, though." he smiles, kissing you as you smile.

"I love you too, freddie."

"Well, if it's not about us being wizards, what's got you thinking so much, princess?"

You sigh, frowning slightly as you look over at his family...well, more like your family.

"Honestly? Its about Harry. I haven't seen him, or even heard from him for about nine years now. It's just really odd to see him after all this time, especially since he's so different now being a wizard and just grown up and everything. I mean, I grew up with him, freddie, and I feel like I barely know him."

Fred nods, realizing now why you've been so distracted. He can't imagine what it's like to find out your cousin, that you haven't seen or heard from in years, is friends with your boyfriend.

"And i don't know, I guess I'm a little upset about it all too." you confess.

"Upset about what, love?"

"Well, Harry and I used to be really close. I'd protect him from my parents and my brother, usually getting the wrath of it myself, but it didn't matter. At least I'd done something to upset my parents to receive their abuse. I couldn't stand to see Harry being treated so terribly for just, existing."

"So I protected him, and I always thought we were really close. Then he went off to school and just...forgot about me. Or so it seems, anyways. I got a few letters the first few months after he left, but then he just stopped sending me anything. I always wondered why. Did he just not care for me anymore? Did he want to forget me along with my family, even though I had never been like them?" you ask, finishing your thought to Fred.

He frowns, tucking some hair behind your ear as he gets you to look at him. He hates seeing you worry over such things. He could understand how upsetting it could be, but you shouldn't have to worry yourself out over it.

"Princess, I know it's confusing, but I'm sure Harry had his reasons. I doubt it had anything to do with you being related to your parents though. He probably just got busy with classes, and when he had the time, he probably just didn't know what to say."

"Yeah. I don't know. I've just, I've worried about it for years and just ignored it. It's really hard to ignore it when he's sitting at the same table as us, you know?" you chuckle, trying to seem like you're okay.

"I know, princess. Maybe you could try asking him? I know I'd sure love to know why he's never mentioned you. Maybe I would have run into you sooner if I knew there was a sweet and beautiful muggle out there."

You roll your eyes, smiling and shaking your head at the dork you have for a boyfriend as he chuckles, pulling you into a hug as he presses a kiss to your lips.

"I love you, princess."

"I love you too, freddie."

RECS FOR AKI

i hope the children are sufficiently sunshiney. note that while i’d never rec anything i didn’t enjoy, this is definitely more focused on if i think you’ll find a sunshine than plot so please look at the plot to see if you’re interested.

sunshine children anime

EDENS ZERO - this is the first time i’ve reced something ongoing on one of these but shiki is just such a sunshine i think you’ll like him

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun - literally the whole cast but especially wakamatsu

GREAT PRETENDER - not your traditional sunshine but i think edamura has enough sunshine elements for you to like him

Ouran Koukou Host Club - i refuse to live in a world where you haven’t experienced the living sunshine that is honey-senpai

Arslan Senki - by the creator of fma so you know it has to be good, the titular arslan is a sunshine prince

Godzilla: Singular Point - MEI IS SO CUTE I WANNA SCREAM EVERY TIME SHE’S ON SCREEN and she has a cute puppy ai sidekick

Karin - i’m not sure if she meets your sunshine qualifications but karin is so good she deserves to

Nagi no Asukara - this anime actually made me so sad but manaka is super sweet and when hikari’s not angry at the world i think he counts

Akagami no Shirayuki-hime - shirayuki is super sweet and hard working and i think she counts

Kekkai Sensen - it’s been a minute but i remember leo being a sunshine shounen protagonist

Ao no Exorcist: Kyoto Fujouou-hen - i know you saw s1 but s2 is more faithful to the manga and you get to see more of sunshine boy rin okumura

Hataraku Maou-sama! - i can’t believe i’m saying this: literal satan is such a sunshine boy

Hataraku Saibou - the red blood cell is such a cutie

Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu. - literally the whole cast is sunshiney but especially the op protagonist maple is

Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne - the manga is way better but idk if you prefer watching or reading but maron is my favorite ms protagonist ever. not your traditional sunshine who’s always able to stay positive instead it more focuses on her trying her best to stay positive despite shitty things happening.

Little Witch Academia - i prefer the movies to the tv series bc the tv series is a little too clearly made for kids but atsuko is v sunshiney

Ookiku Furikabutte - i mean finish daiya but also MIHASHI MY SWEET SUNSHINE CHILD

Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta… - katarina my sweet oblivious sunshine child

Shadows House - don’t let the horror genre scare you it’s super cute and emilico is such a sunshine child

Yuri!!! on ICE - you don’t need me to tell you about the sunshine that is katsuki yuuri but i’ll tell you anyway

Yuru Camp△ - nadeshiko is the protagonist i want from all sol anime

Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic - aladdin is sunshine, though as with much shounen ignore the boobs

Prince of Stride: Alternative - not like the best sports anime ever but i think you’ll like hozumi

Shokugeki no Souma - i feel a little weird recing ecchi but megumi is a good sunshine child if ecchi as a genre isn’t a huge turn off for you

Wan Sheng Jie - it’s like five minute shorts and neil is so cute i could cry

Owari no Seraph - the manga is so much better heads up so if you’re up for reading rather than watching do that but yuu is a sunshine protag once you get through his “rawr must kill all vampires”

no sunshine children but watch anyway

Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch - honestly i just reced this for everyone so i felt like i had to. there is no sun here, just pain. still good though

Soul Eater - if patty were less violent she’d be sunshine and lbr i love this anime

Zankyou no Terror - i feel weird calling terrorists sunshines but i think you’ll like twelve

Gin no Saji - i can’t pick out a particular sunshine child but i think you’ll like the cast they’re all good kids

Noragami - i don’t think yukine counts as sunshine because he’s a little too moody but i think you’ll still like him

Amagi Brilliant Park - honestly i just think you’ll like the mascot character designs, super cutesey

bonus: manga with sunshine children

Black Clover - it has an anime but i haven’t seen it but asta is a good boy

Blue Lock - if you can get to hiori

SPY×FAMILY - anya my sweet baby angel esper

Iwashigahama Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (鰯ヶ浜日本女子プロレス?), IJWPW for short, is a women’s only or “Joshi” professional wrestling organization headquartered in Iwashigahama, Japan.[1] KNOWN MEMBERS: -RAINBOW MIKA: Rainbow Mika (レインボー・ミカ Reinboo Mika?), real name Mika Nanakawa (七川美華 Nanakawa Mika?), also known as R. Mika, is a video game character from the Street Fighter series, first appearing in Street Fighter Alpha 3. She is a Japanese professional wrestler from the Iwashigahama Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling organization, trained by the domineering Yoko Harmageddon. -YAMATO NADESHIKO: Yamato Nadeshiko (大和ナデシコ?) is a character in the Street Fighter series who first appeared on the cover of Capcom's Secret File from the arcade version of Street Fighter Alpha 3. Yamato's name is actually the Japanese phrase for the concept of the "perfect" or "ideal" woman. Yamato is a hot-blooded female wrestler from the IJWPW, and R. Mika's former tag team partner. She is also the sole daughter of a family that runs a long-established inn.Her hobbies include tea ceremonies, flower arrangement, and archery.

-SUNRISE NISHISENBA: Sunrise Nishisenba (サンライズ西船場 Sanraizu Nishisenba?) is an ace wrestler from IJWPW that Harmageddon had invited to join. She was notoriously clumsy in her debut. As her chokehold is weak, she prefers to use brute force and throwing techniques. Her special move is the Lariat Tequila Sunset (ラリアット・テキーラ・サンセット Rariatto Tekīra Sansetto?).

-MAPLE STORM: Maple Storm (メイプル・ストーム Meipuru Sutōmu?) is a IJWPW rookie. Despite being new to wrestling, she is a former athlete that was part of a women's football team in Canada and participated in the professional league, but the team was disbanded after a scandal with the coach. After watching a Japanese DVD with Harmageddon Yoko, she was impressed with her and decided to join the IJWPW. She is still studying Japanese and became good friends with Nadeshiko. Her special move is a strong tackle named Klondike Gold Rush (メイプル・ストーム Kurondaiku Gōrudo Rasshu?).

-RAIKA: Raika (雷華 Raika?, "Thunder Flower") is IJWPW's tag team champion, along with her sister Fuka; they are known as the Furai Shimai (風雷姉妹Furai Shimai?, "Wind-Thunder Sisters"). She has high stamina and jumping ability due to training at high altitudes. Raika can speak Japanese, English, Korean and Spanish, and has deep ties with South American and North American organizations. Her special moves are Denkō Enzuigiri (電光延髄斬り Denkō Enzuigiri?, "Lightning Medullary Slash") and Nadare-shiki Reverse DDT Raijū (雪崩式リバースDDT 雷獣 Nadare-shiki Ribāsu DDT Raijū?).FukaEdit

-VIVIAN NISHIKI: Vivian Nishiki (ビビアン西木 Bibian Nishiki?) is a remarkably conspicuous gimmick-based wrestler who likes strange things. Making full use of foul play and rough fighting, she defended her IJPWP championship three times. Despite her strangeness, she is quite popular. Her special move, 16 Knots (16ノット 16-Notto?) involves continuously hitting the opponent with a barbwired bat. Her father, SASA Nishiki, plays an active part in the CWA.

-PEPE ISHIWATA: Pepe Ishiwata (ペペ石渡 Pepe Ishiwatari?) is a masked and painted fighter that keeps her identity secret. She used to live with her Hawaii-born grandmother, but moved to Japan and joined IJWPW. Despite her short size and rudeness, she is a skilled wrestler with great wrestling techniques. Her special move is the drop kick Shock Cone (ショックコーン Shokku Kōn?). She also has a powerful back throw. -YOKO HARMAGEDDON: Yoko Harmageddon (ハルマゲドン陽子 Harumagedon Yōko?), real name Yoko Harumage (春髷陽子 Harumage Yōko?), also known as Demon Coach Yoko (鬼コーチ陽子?), is IJWPW's representantive, a heavyset woman often seen carrying a shinai (bamboo training sword) who used to be a famous wrestler herself. She was forced to retire years ago due to hurting her neck and waist in a match against Black Widow (German Androgynous CWA fighter revealed to be female in Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II). In Street Fighter Alpha 3, she appears in some of R. Mika's victory animations. Harmageddon also writes Mika a letter encouraging her to press on towards her wrestling career with confidence, enduring the hardships that continue to come her way just as Yoko did. Yoko reveals that she had a wrestling colleague who talked with the same brusque mannerisms as Mika, and only refers to said colleague by her nickname, "Frisky".Yoko's first name in kanji roughly means "bright child", and is cosmetically identical to the kanji combo for "proton", read as "yoshi" instead of "youko".

What motifs are Tatsuha and Yuriha wearing? What about their kanzashi?

I was wondering how long it would take for this answer to come up, but I’m always happy to answer it ^^Let’s start with Yuriha!The main motif on her kimono is tabane noshi (束ね熨). They’re celebratory paper strips that often accompany announcement gifts. The flowers and plants on her kimono include: peony, bamboo, plum, maple leaves, chrysanthemums, irises, and pine. In the background you can see lines and clouds. These are kasumi (霞), which is a haze or cloud associated with dreams and new beginnings. The base motif on her obi is kikko (tortoise shell). Inside the shell sections are karabana, decorative “imaginary” flowers that were imported from China. Around the karabana are phoenixes, chrysanthemums, butterflies, plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, and bundles of rice. Her kanzashi are chrysanthemums and maple leaves. Now, Tatsuha!Although not exactly easy to see as they’re on the hem, the main motifs on her kimono are flower carts and palanquins, which are traditionally symbols of nobility. The flowers and plants on her kimono include: plum, bamboo, pine, peonies, willow, maple leaves, bell flowers, and bush clover. The bottom also features rocks and a gentle stream, which will bring in new energy. It may seem odd that bell flowers and bush clovers, traditionally summer motifs, are present on a non-summer kimono, but this piece is truly an all-season kimono featuring motifs from each of the four seasons (which is pretty rare).Her obi features beautifully embroidered butterflies and phoenixes that are flying around carnations. Once again, carnations (nadeshiko) are a traditional summer motif and this is not a summer obi, so why are they there? Traditionally in Japan girls are meant to embody the ideal of Yamato Nadeshiko (大和撫子), which is something I’ve spoken about before (or you can read about it here).The kanzashi are the beautiful and elegant suzuran (lily of the valley) and waves.
