Character information... meet my made-up characters... so that you will understand the story clearly... and also a little background about the story too...
*Sayaka Nakashima*
Half-Japanese half-British. A very talented woman who plays the harp, the piano and the violin and studies in Seiso Academy. She loves to sing as well. She came from a family of very talented and well-known musicians who play various instruments. Although she knows that she's got talent, she never really like to show it because she doesn't want her potentials to be exposed. She believed that her music is only offered to her long dead family. She also believe in fairies because of the stories his brother had once told him.
Ever since her family died when she was young, some of her aunt (from her father's side) called her 'bad luck' and 'the weak link' and they despised her. She was taken in by her aunt Serenity (from her mother's side) after her family died and treated her like her own daughter and she treated her aunt like her real mother.
After this bad experience, she went with her aunt to New York to forget the bitter sadness, and also to treat her sickness. She blames herself for the death of her family especially her older brother so she urged herself to play more violin than any other instruments because it was once her parents' dream for the four them to become a quartet who plays the cello, the viola and the 2 violins, and before they died she made a promise that she will continue their dreams and she never breaks her promises.
She also had some bad experience in New York which also convinced herself that she really is the one who brings bad luck to everybody she knows. So she went back to Japan but aunt still went with her, because she was really loved so much by her aunt. This was the time that she studied at Seiso as a first year student.
She likes to stay away from people and doesn't want to make friends because she doesn't want to bring them her 'bad luck' and she doesn't want to be sad if she ever leave them because of her sickness. She is very independent and a loner. But when she met Len, Kazuki and Azuma, she tried to show them her sunshiny part of personality and tried to make some other friends, and some enemies too....
*Sojiro Nakashima*
Sayaka's older brother (7 years older than Sayaka). He is as talented as his parents. A very caring and concerned brother for Sayaka which made others jealous of Sayaka for having such brother... not to mention handsome too. He is said to be the heir of the 'Nakashima's fortune', the 'golden dragon' violin which was handed down to every eldest son from generation to generation.
He loves practicing in woodsy places for he believes that it is the place where the fairies love to stay. One day when Sayaka went along with him to practice in the woods, Sayaka found one of the fairies and tried to follow it. The fairy, unaware that it was being followed, went flying across the cliff to the other side and accidentally led Sayaka to the cliff. It's a good thing he saved her in the nick of time. Unfortunately he is the one who fell and died.
*Hiroko Nakashima*
Sayaka and Sojiro's father. He believes that every children surpasses their parents and also believed that his own children can be greater than him one day. He always told his children to enjoy playing music and not only think of it as something to boast about. He is very well-known together with his wife and he plays the cello, the violin and other stringed instruments.
He was once the rival of Destiny (his wife) since they were both equally talented. They met in Britain and were forced to compete with each other but they both withdraw saying that it is pointless to compete since they're really both good at it, and they really loved each other.
He died in a car accident together with his wife. They died when they went to Sayaka's school talent show after some press conference. It was raining so hard, they were racing to the talent show because they don't want to fail their daughter who was waiting for them to show up and support her. They were going so fast that the car slipped due to the heavy rain and they crashed.
*Destiny (Harlington) Nakashima*
Sayaka and Sojiro's mother. A British woman who once studied in a well-known British school for musically talented scholars. She plays the piano, and the flute and other instruments. She was famous during her days.
She was given the name 'Beethoven's heiress' because of her exceptional talent in playing the piano and was nearly deaf herself. Other than playing instruments she also has a talent in writing. She wrote a novel entitled "The soul of my Harmony" which is still music-related.
After her death, she became a legend all around the world. Her music and her writings became an inspiration to those who want to play music despite of their incapability.
*Serenity Harlington*
Sayaka and Sojiro's aunt, Destiny's younger sister. She's the one who took care of Sayaka when she became orphaned since she's the only one who accepted Sayaka. She loved Sayaka and she never ever see her as bad luck but as the greatest gift she had ever received.
She used to play some harp, but she changed her mind and didn't go along with the family business of musicians and decided to live a normal life. She's the only one who knows about Sayaka's sickness and tried to keep it between the two of them because she doesn't want the others to stay away from Sayaka.
