Kazumi Tamaki

Kazumi Tamaki, 512 AC

"You can't give up now!!! Can you imagine how many books are gonna be at that winter festival!? They might even have a book about the giant flying birds that the humans of the previous age used to ride, to get from continent to continent!"

"I believe in you! But only if you believe in yourself."

"When I grow up, I'm gonna collect plants and flowers and publish them into the best plant and flowers encyclopedia the world has ever seen!"

## Overview

Kazumi Tamaki is of Asiatico descent, and for this reason is notably different in apperance from the rest of the populace in Caribbea or Colombo, which consists primarily of Europas, Amurcios, and Caribbeanos. Her name is notably of Japanesa origin, which were the rarest subgroup even amongst the Asiaticos, as generally speaking they are nearly unheard of, and thought to be extinct. However, in her day to day life Kazumi is most affected by the fact of her Blue and Green eyes, which sets her apart even further as during her early life in Colombo, having blue colored eyes was the sign of a bad omen due to its association with the "destructive" Western seas. Although this sentiment doesn't exist in Caribbea, where the seas are calmer, Kazumi is still looked upon with suspicion. Regardless, Kazumi retains a carefree, joyous, and happy exterior, being fairly outgoing and her curiosity is unmatched, and only temporarily quenched by books. She has a special interest in the technology and achievement of the humans of the previous age, and spends many hours a day researching such, accompanied by more interests in Botany, Marine Life, and Psychology. Typically in her day to day life she wears a casual dress shirt and typical Caribbea dress, alongside typical purple ribbons (common for females in Caribbea). Kazumi is fairly short, standing at 5'2, and usually has her hair in a bun, and usually is seen wandering around while lugging a handful of books, finding the best place to read. Besides this, she alsohelps Anicka frequently run daily maintanence tasks, and she dreams one day of attending university in the famed Treasure Ports in East Caribbea or Cubano.

## Early Life

Kazumi's early life remains fairly muddled, however it is known that she and her sister, Keiko Tamaki (who were both orphans) were initially captured by sex traffickers due to the fact that they were "Asiaticos" (a group of people from what was once known as Asia in the previous age, and due to their rarity in modern times they are often exoticized and prized as escorts), but managed to escape and go into hiding in the countryside, where they eventually lived out of cave in the forest growing a small number of crops nearby. The crops they grew were a rare type of fruit, and because of they were highly prized for their flavor, they were often to subside by exchanging these fruits for a large amount of bulk crops like potatoes, wheat, and so forth. They spent two years like this, until Kazumi and Keiko met Anicka one day in Panamico while they were on the way to barter for groceries, and they eventually befriended each other and made a determination to escape to the North in Caribbea, where they would have a better chance at life. Ever since this escape north, where Keiko was unable to make it across the border, Kazumi and Anicka lived together in the countryside of West Caribbea, eventually growing as close as family and making a goal to one day move into the Treasure Ports of East Caribbea where they can eventually live a life away from the hardship they suffered all their life.

## Trivia

* Kazumi's hairstyle is inspired (more like ripped off) by Mitsuha's hairstyle from the movie "Your Name."
* Originally, Kazumi did not exist as a character in the original "Pacific Arc" in "2052," and Anicka was primarily self motivated as a result.
* Kazumi's name was chosen because Howard likes the sound of "K" in Japanese, especially the word "Kaze" (meaning wind).
* Kazumi's MBTI might be ENFP.
