Quiver

Working on it yet again. Maybe going to be a part of TheAlternativeRodo?

When a certain habit runs in the family, it's really hard for a girl that wants little to do with that sort of thing to get away from it all.

Meet Kimiko Qui'hovera, nicknamed 'Quiver' by those few she's managed to get close enough to call friends. The middle child of an upper-middle class family native to the Park (though now the youngest due to one particularly tempermental stint by her mother), she's a bookish sort. Not that the pic would tell you, but she's often in sweaters and jeans, particularly favoring things that are loose enough to keep things modest. For the chest, that's not a terrible problem, but for the hips and rear, that can be a bit of a task. Her older siblings and mother just don't understand, though, and keep trying to throw skimpier outfits at her in an attempt to push her into using her wiles to draw in prey.

Of course, let's address the elephant in the room. To say that Kimiko's the black sheep of her family's not entirely fair; she's very clearly made it a point that she isn't inclined to be prey, even if she does have a submissive streak in her romantic relationships. In fact, she's known to be capable of predation, as her romantic track record actually has proven. Whether accidents or self defense, most of her romantic partners (whom displayed dominant, potentially predatory traits themselves) seem to go missing, and most signs point to the obvious.

And as to the nickname? It's got a few connotations to it. She seems to think of it as something that started in a bit of a mean spirit, implying that she was simply timid and trembled at the thought of social interaction (when, in reality, she was simply more introverted and a bit more geeky in her pursuits than her siblings). Some think that the nickname came from what happens when an interested party gets a look at her hips. Others, however, just think it's easier to say than her last name, and she's oddly touchy about being called 'Kimi' instead of 'Kimiko', so it seems to be a cute enough nickname to use and she's grown used to it.

So, semi-reluctant, not overtly sexual (despite her assets), not exactly openly predatory girl? Check. She's more interested in gaining friends and maybe having a bit of romance, but, hey, things happen.
