Ayako Kobiyashi

Appearance
Standing at 5'7" tall, Ayako has hair that is Redish brown in nature (Maybe due to ancestors). Her eyes are brownish purple. She has a scar on her right knee from a fall in grade school off a jungle gym, this she normally jokes about. There's also a pair of scars on her left elbow and arm from a fall in a race.

Ayako isn't much for fancy dressing, rather she tends to remain casual dressing sporty casual with a bit of girly to her. Example would be, jean skirt with slip on canvas sneakers, semi dressy shirt with a hoodie over this.

Personality
Ayako can be seen as a bit nosy, well depending on who you talk to, a lot nosy. She is known by her past classmates for being an open, honest, loyal person to most people. She also can be a bit harsh at times depending on the situation at hand. For example if she feels that someone is in the wrong she will let them know about it directly. Most see her as kind, and compassionate to those she’s been friends with or is friends with. At times due to her past she can come off as a bit jaded if she feels that she hasn’t achieved something or finished something she started.

She hates it when others treat her with pity for any reason, and will tell them so to their faces. Ayako is known for being stubborn and not listening when things get her too worked up, or it’s something she thinks she’s right about, even when she’s wrong. Most see her over all as a nice person to be around though gets excited at the prospect of challenging someone who claims to be the best so that she can get better.

She can be highly competitive, to the point that she’ll challenge them to a contest, even when she knows she’s out matched. She prides herself in her way of doing things and doesn’t like when people try to tear her down. She can be brave when she wants, but at the same time she considers herself cowardly and hates herself for that. She puts on a face of confidence around other athletes but is mellower when it comes to people who aren’t into sports.

She counts Takuro and Hana as her closer friends, and then the others as good aquaintences right now. She's slowly learning more about others. Right now Daichi's the one that knows the most about her past.

Persona
Unknown future for what happens.

Current Persona
Atalanta ( GREEK MYTHOLOGY) - Considered the Godess of running. Atalanta was the daughter of Iasus, and King Iasus wanted a son. When his daughter was born feeling betrayed by the gods he left the baby Atalanta on a mountaintop to die, the jerkface. As it so happened her cries were heard by a she-bear who took the child in and cared for Atalanta until hunters found and raised her. By them she learned to fight and hunt as a bear would. She was later reunited with her father.

Having grown up in the wilderness, Atalanta became a fierce hunter and was always happy. She took an oath of virginity to the goddess Artemis. At some point in time when Atalanta was a young woman Artemis was forgotten at a sacrifice by King Oineus. Angry she sent a wild boar to ravaged the land, men, and cattle and prevented crops from being sown. Atalanta joined Meleager, the son of the king and many other famous heroes on a hunt for the boar.

Many of the men were angry that a woman was joining them, but Meleager, though married, lusted for Atalanta, and so he persuaded them to include her. Several of the men were killed before Atalanta became the first to hit the boar and draw blood. After Meleager finally killed the boar with his spear, he awarded the skin to Atalanta. Meleager’s uncles, Plexippus and Toxeus, were angry and tried to take the skin from her. In revenge, Meleager killed his uncles. Wild with grief, Meleager's mother Althaea threw a charmed log on the fire, said log held his life, which consumed Meleager's life as it burned.

After the Calydonian boar hunt, Atalanta was rediscovered by her father. He wanted her to be wed, but Atalanta, uninterested in marriage, agreed to marry only if her suitors could outrun her in a footrace. Those who lost would be killed. King Schoeneus agreed, and many young men died in the attempt until Melanion (or Hippomenes) came along. Melanion asked the goddess Aphrodite for help, and she gave him three golden apples in order to slow Atalanta down.

The apples were irresistible, so every time Atalanta got ahead of Melanion, he rolled an apple ahead of her, and she would run after it. In this way, Melanion won the footrace and came to marry Atalanta. Eventually they had a son Parthenopaios, who was one of the Seven against Thebes. Zeus (or Cybele, or Rhea) turned Atalanta and Melanion into lions after they made love together in one of his temples. Other accounts say that Aphrodite changed them into lions because they did not give her proper honor. The belief at the time was that lions could not mate with their own species, only with leopards; thus Atalanta and Hippomenes would never be able to remain with one another.
