Tomie Kawakami (Ray)

## Tomie Kawakami

This image doesn’t even come close to conveying her true beauty.

### Current Hair Color

Shiny, glossy, ebony black. “Why would I make my beautiful hair uglier? Why would I make it look like.. well, yours, for example?”

### Skin Tone

Shimmery pale white in the winter, light shiny olive in the summer

### Eye Color

One deep bloodred, one sapphire blue with light purple flecks in it

### Disabilities

Tomie isn’t diagnosed as a psychopath, but shows some signs of sociopathy. She also seems to hold some unchecked trauma from a past life (see, in Kawakami lore her father Hokari had a girlfriend named Tomie Tanimura who was a traumatized pretty girl shaped into a money-hungry tyrant who also happened to be descended from a god. After Tomie was exposed by Hokari for being the greedy witch that she is, Hokari killed her, but her spirit lingered and possessed his new wife Kokoro’s unborn baby, who would grow up to be Tomie).

### Fashion Style

Typically fashionable and pretty, accentuating her beauty, but sometimes more gothic and vampiric, depending on her mood

### Accessories

Tomie tends to wear a lot of pearl jewelry and earrings especially, and usually polishes her nails

## History

### Date of Birth

Friday 13, 20XX (that’s a fancy way of saying we don’t know what year she was born!)

### Siblings

Tsuneko; there may be more, but typically just Tsuneko Kawakami

## Personality

### Intelligence Level

11 out of 10 for her manipulation skills, acting abilities, and general iconic superiority

### Likes

Herself, pretty things, being admired, people “on her level”, her family (when they do what she wants), ugly people getting hurt, death

Ugly things, being disliked, people not on her level, her family (when they don’t do what she wants)

### Personality Flaws

This is Tomie we’re talking about. She doesn’t have any (according to herself)

### Personality Strengths

She’s charismatic and can be intuitive about people she actually cares about, and will fight for what she believes in

## Communication

### Accent

Tomie’s voice is very sultry and gliding, seductive and cool, and very unique. She has an American accent but can easily switch to having a Japanese one, especially while she’s speaking Japanese

## Abilities

### Physical Weaknesses

She’s much better at fighting with weapons than with her hands, and prefers to taunt people rather than actually fight them most of the time

### Intellectual Strengths

She’s a good manipulator, a born seductress, and a good liar and convincer, and she knows how to make you love her

### Intellectual Weaknesses

Sometimes she miscalculates her opponents as weaker than they truly are

### Social Strengths

Due to her beauty, many people fall in love with her or are jealous of her, and because of that can easily get where she wants socially

### Magical Powers

Many! One time she had magical, destructive, venomic blood, another time she had durability and an immunity to pain, another time she had supernatural beauty (even more than usual), another time she had a siren-like singing voice, and currently Ray wants her to have Pyrokinesis and also talk to animals because why not

**Tomie Kawakami** is one of Rayvena's most popular OCs, used in a variety of roleplays and fanfictions. She is characterized as a sadistic, misanthropic beauty queen who hides her monstrous nature under her pretty face, evoking love and terror.

## Development

Rayvena initially signed up for two roleplays on the Harry Potter wiki when she started out. For both of those, she made an OC from scratch: Tomoko Ellise Potter, the younger cousin of Harry Potter. In one of the roleplays, the patient, sweet, albeit picked-on Tomoko had a villain arc as Shioko, only to be rescued by her ship and turned good again. Tomoko wildly fell out of use gradually. At one point, Ray signed her up again but with the nickname Tomie for a new roleplay and eventually just made her given name Tomie. For a demon slayer roleplay, Ray decided to give Tomie incredible beauty to make her more formidable, and because the Potter family did not exist in demon slayer referred to her as Tomie Kawakami. Eventually, she began signing her up as Tomie Kawakami, adjusting her character to be a more vain, evil beauty, and these days she stays that way.

More recently the Kawakami family and the Marleck family have been noted to have characters who are parallel to one another; Tomie’s parallel is Eris Marleck.

#### Former Names

Tomie has gone through many names before. In order of use, her names were:

* Tomoko Ellise Potter
* Tomoko Shiakil Ellise Potter
* Tomoko Potter
* Tomoko "Tomie" Potter
* Tomoko "Tomie" Ellise Kawakami
* Tomie Kawakami
* Tomie Esha
* Tomie Evelynn Kawakami

## Backstory

Tomie's parents, Kokoro and Hokari, are both of Japanese descent and had a happy marriage, with the both of them being wealthy, attractive, and in perfect sync with one another. When Kokoro became pregnant, they saw it as an incredible blessing and named her Tomie, aptly meaning "blessing". However, even in the womb Tomie was a naturally monstrous yet beautiful creature, formed from the most negative parts of her parents, who charmed the doctor as her mother had a C-section, shocking him enough to cut Kokoro, which caused Hokari to panic and for Kokoro to have a lasting, ugly scar. However, Kokoro knew what Hokari didn't: that Tomie meant to do that. She spent her childhood at odds with her mother, manipulating her father, and when her first sibling Toru came along, Tomie's treatment of them drove them out of the house. Her second sibling, a brother named Takashi, was as monstruous as Tomie and almost as attractive, and the two proceeded to make their parents' lives living hell with their constant bringing in admirers only to throw them to the side.

The youngest Kawakami sibling, Tsuneko, resembled Tomie greatly, which obviously angered Tomie, but Tsuneko's personality was kind and sweet, the ray of sunshine the Kawakami parents so desperately needed. Tomie, however, couldn't stand that someone looked that much like her and constantly treated Tsuneko terribly, which in most roleplays led to the creation of Tsuneko's other half, Tsubame, who is rude and seductive like her more monstrous siblings.

Tomie's adulthood depends on the roleplay, but suffice it to say that in each one, she presents her manipulative, vain, sadistic, and seductive personality and often flirts with several admirers, playing with people's hearts and minds. In some roleplays, if pushed too far, Tomie presents an insecure side of herself, but depending on the particular roleplay this may be a manipulation tactic.

## Appearance

Tomie's appearance is the most noticeable thing about her due to her beauty. She has pale, shiny skin, pearly, long black hair, and heterochromia: one deep blue, mesmerizing eye with indigo, grey-blue and purple flecks in it and one red eye with brownish-red and blackish-red flecks in it. Her skin is virtually flawless at all times as well and she seems to get more beautiful the more you look at her. She is also typically tall, at about 5'3 at shortest and 5'9 at tallest, which usually depends on her age. She is also curvy, yet skinny, and despite sometimes being tall has an air about her that makes her look petite next to a taller guy.

## Personality and traits

Tomie Kawakami is a highly flirty woman who sees herself as above almost everyone else in beauty, talent, intelligence, and otherwise. She will only truly fall in love with someone she sees to be worth her time, but occasionally seduces and manipulates others for her own amusement. She isn’t particularly fond of murder and bloodshed, unless it’s being done to someone who *dared* to disrespect her or who is much uglier than her to the point where she has harrowing hatred that will only be solved by their death. Although she does manipulate people into thinking she’s nice most of the time, she’s generally cruel. Upon rare occasion has Tomie genuinely said or done kind things and actually meaning them.

Because Tomie is so good at manipulation, it’s a no-brainer that she’s pretty smart as well; she loves to read and write and is exceptional at it, she’s rather good at math despite her distaste for it, and she has a good memory. Due to her experience with manipulating and speaking to a lot of people, Tomie also is intuitive, especially about those she knows well. Tomie has an interest in snakes, especially poisonous ones, and squids, as well as traditional Japanese yōkai, but her main interest is always herself.

> —Ray describing Tomie’s laugh

Tomie has a variety of odd physical attributes that reflect her personality. Being extremely emotive, her eyes (especially the red one) shine during intense bouts of emotion, and her laugh is described to be like the tinkling of little bells. She also tends to subconsciously hum a somewhat seductive tune or flip back her hair a lot.
