Hikaru Kirishima

HIKARU KIRISHIMA

## Appearance

Given that Hikaru's physical appearance was so much like a female, her first presentation out in public, by a suggestion and a favor of Himuro, was a resounding success. Removing 'male' Hikaru's glasses was the only thing seemingly needed to transition Hikaru from male to female. Hikaru has a round face with a slightly pointed chin. She has soft, straight, pale lavender hair worn in a Beatles cut, but when re-combed, looks like a girl's pixie cut. Later, Hikaru wears her hair in twin tails, held with black tied ribbons. Her hair length is just above her shoulders, with attractive, slender bangs all the way around, and draping onto her forehead. In back her hair covers the nape of her neck. She was born with huge, expressive 'anime girl' eyes, so rare for a perceived boy. Her eyes are of a delicate maroon-purple coloration. She has dark, long, sexy eyelashes, also so rare for a boy, and thin, wispy eyebrows. Her ears stand out slightly, only adding to her cuteness. She has a small mouth, but with full, luscious lips. Her skin tone is very pale, like she has never been out in the sun, but even all over.

Hikaru never did develop a muscular body, as many boys want to do. But that was to her advantage as a girl. She has average shoulders, but longer arms and small hands. She has a flat chest, but her childhood friend, Himuro, buys her an 'A' cup slightly padded bra, and wearing it, gives her a hint of a bust. With the bra, she looks like a typical 'late bloomer' teen girl who has a bust, but is not well developed yet. She has a trim torso, with a narrow waist. Her hips and behind also look smallish and underdeveloped. However, she has long, lean, sexy legs, like an ice skater, and small feet.

In the story, female Hikaru is shown wearing four outfits. First is the dress that Himuro wanted for her to wear on the 'date' with him. She wore the dress specifically designed, created, and constructed for her by Himuro. It is a sleeveless dress that somewhat resembles an ice skating dress. The top part of the dress is styled like a bustier corset, with it being laced up the front. A Bow adorns the bustier between her boobs, and bows are at the top of her shoulder straps. The dress is sleeveless. At the back of the dress, there are bows at her 'wing bones' and a huge bow at the small of her back. The skirted part of the dress is a series of tiered ruffles that barely cover her behind, and went she moves, the ruffles are so short that it will often show her panties. Hikaru is wearing strappy pumps, with completely bare legs. She selected a large ribbon for her hair, and tied it into a huge bow. Finally, she has on a tiny, thin, but oh, so sexy choker.

Himuro also made a bikini swimsuit for Hikaru. The top looks like two hot pot holders sewn together covering the boobs, with a lacy strap looping around her neck. The bikini bottom has a ruffled, layered look, with huge bows on the hips.

When Hikaru is asked to begin attending school as a female student, she begins wearing the female school uniform to school every day. It consists of a dressy, short, puffy short sleeved blouse. At the front of the shirt at the base of the neck is a western style corded tie. The shirt is worn with a ruffled, tiered mini-skirt. Also worn as part of the uniform are knee-highs or over-the-knee socks.

Finally, for the performance of the Sleeping Beauty, Hikaru wears a very ornate, old fashioned, floor length, formal woman's ballroom waltzing gown. It is very intricate and detailed, tiered and ruffled, too much to describe here. Again, it seems that the dress was created and constructed by Himuro. He even made a lacy, authentic lolita headband for Hikaru to wear with the dress.

## Personality and Circumstances

Male Hikaru grew up knowing that they were different somehow from other boys, but as a child, could never "put 'his' finger" on just what was different. It was like Hikaru had a secret closet deep inside their heart and spirit. A closet that was always kept locked. Hikaru did not know for sure what was in the closet, other than speculation by intuition, but 'he' knew that it had to be something good. As the years went by, from childhood into the teen years, Hikaru was not all that troubled about knowing what was in the closet, or unlocking it to see what was inside. Hikaru was able to function fairly well social and emotionally as a typical teenage 'boy', despite their hidden and locked secret.

As Hikaru went from adolescent into the teen years, 'he' developed many good personality traits. Traits such as patience, the giving and receiving of friendship, self-worth, peacefulness, mildness, and kindness. Not much ever upset or distressed Hikaru; they would 'go with the flow' and 'roll along' with whatever circumstance or situations came upon them. Their friendship with Himuro continued, and over the years was deepened into an unbreakable bond. When Hikaru was in high school, an incident did come upon 'him', that was to have a profound and life-changing significance to 'him'. Hikaru's childhood friend, Himuro, on a whim by means of a prank, asked Hikaru to consider dressing in a teenage girl's fashionable dressy outfit, in order to help Himuro with a personal quest. Hikaru thought about the request for a while, then agreed to do so, but only for one day.

Little did Hikaru suspect or know, by going along with Himuro's scheme, that they would figuratively unlock the secret closet in their heart, and see what was there ! On the "date" with Himuro, the closet was indeed unlocked, and the good things hidden for so long were released. Those good things were first and foremost, Hikaru was confirmed in her heart that she had a female Gender Identity, therefore making her a male to female transgender teenager. But that was not immediately acknowledged. Hikaru instead embraced a female Gender Expression, by wearing the party dress out in public that Himuro had created and constructed for her. Hikaru's enthusiasm at being a girl was so spectacular, that for her this 'date' was no mere cross-dressing episode. The way Hikaru handled herself out in public, is was as if she had been raised a girl, and was a female socialite of long standing.

Also unlocked was the personality traits of self-determination and self-confidence, although it took a while for them to be firmly implanted into Hikaru's emotional and social circumstances. Hikaru did not do a private "Coming Out" to herself as authenticating her female Gender Identity until she was asked to begin going to school as a female student, and to wear the female school uniform ever school day. Finally, Hikaru did a public "Coming Out" as an authentic teenage girl the night that she played the Sleeping Beauty, and Himuro kissed her, thereby removing the curse of maleness and manhood from her that was placed upon her at birth. From that point in her life, and onward, she knew the full secret of the closet; she was destined to be a real, honest, authentic girl for the rest of her life !
