Moki Kagawa

[Moki Kagawa]

Only Skin Deep

Name: Moki Kagawa. Moki doesn't have a middle name due to her Japanese heritage (pretty much nobody has one). Her first name was designed by her parents and she has never met anybody else with the same name.

Birthday: July 10, 1994 (age 14)

Height: 5'1"

Weight: 106 lbs

Appearance: The phrase "good things come in small packages" comes to mind. Everyone thought Moki was going to be tall when she hit her full adult height of 5'1" at the age of ten. But four years later, she hasn't grown since, and is now considered one of the shortest among her classmates. She has a small build, and was rather a bit too skinny until recently when, much to her relief, she filled out a bit and stopped looking like an underdeveloped beanpole. She looks a bit younger than many of the other fourth years around the castle due to her small stature, but acts her age or more mature (most of the time). Her hair color fluctuates, thanks to her love of hair dye, but is usually a shade of brown, give or take some highlights. Her eyes are dark brown, almost black.

Looking Back

Hometowns: Oxford, England and Osaka, Japan. She was born in Osaka and lived there until she was 6, at which point her family moved back to England, where her mother is originally from.

Bloodline: Half-blood on her father's side.

Family History: Moki's mother is a British Muggle with a love for the supernatural by the name of Mona Jamison. She received a degree in anthropology from Oxford University and spent most of her young life ghost-hunting in her free time. When she was 22, her paranormal interests brought her to Japan, where she met Taiki Kagawa, a bartending wizard working undercover for the Ministry of Magic. He was amused by Mona's undying love of magic and the two hit it off right away. After a relatively short time, they were married and Moki came along only 8 1/2 months later. She is still not sure which came first - the wedding or her conception. She is an only child, and sometimes got lonely when she was young, although she enjoyed spending time with other neighborhood children.

Wizarding History: Moki displayed magical powers from a very young age, a fact that delighted her parents. She always knew about Hogwarts, her father's alma mater, and looked forward to being able to go there her whole life until finally she was old enough just four years ago. Moki loves school, but even more than that, she loves how much there is to do in the castle - mostly mischief-related.

No One Like Me

Languages: Moki learned both English and Japanese from the time she was very young, so she never encountered any language issues, although when especially excited she has been known to lapse back into Japanese, as this is her first language.

Disposition: Cheerful, but mischievous. Some would say Moki is easily amused, as she finds utter delight in the smallest of things. However, this makes it easy for her to entertain herself, and her presence is usually appreciated by others (assuming she isn't trying to practical-joke them). She loves cheering people up and making trouble around the castle. Moki can also be a bit of a flirt, although she is usually just considered to be "cute" by the objects of her affection - in the aw-cheek-pinch-pinch kind of way. This somewhat annoys her, but she's very go-with-the-flow, so romance may be waiting around the corner.
