Dear Diary
(This is the diary of a young girl named Hotaru Tomoe, who struggles with her feelings each and everyday. She pours her heart out into the diary, her pen poisoning the paper with her words. Hotaru keeps hunting for a friend, until she finds one; Serena (Rini) Tsukino.)
Dear Diary,
Hello, the name I was given by my parents is a beautiful one. It's Hotaru Tomoe, though in Japanese it's written as Tomoe Hotaru. The name meaning of my name is "Little Firefly of the Earth." Isn't that such a sweet meaning? I think it represents me well, being so specific and certain. So you really want to know about me? Well, here I go, I'll give you the details. I was born on the 6th of January, making me a Capricorn. I have many favourite things, like many other people, though my favourite things could be a little strange to the average person. For example, my favourite food is Nihon Soba (a type of noodle) and I positively hate milk! I have interesting hobbies, to me, they're interesting anyway. I LOVE collecting lamps and reading. My favourite gem is a fluorite and I love the colour purple.
To you, I may seem like a normal girl. But I'm not. I have the weird ability to heal people, actually just raise my hand to a few centimetres in diameter above the wound and a strange power takes over me, the wound suddenly healing over. I don't think that you know anyone but me who actually has that ability. Next to that, I have no friends. The reason being, my healing power puts them off and sometimes, when I don't even know it happens, I hurt people. I go near the person and they cry out in pain, claiming I've hurt them. And although they don't realize it, these words hurt me. I go home, after a weary day at Mugen School, bury myself in the knees of my crazy father and cry my eyes out. I love my daddy a lot. Some other things that I find weird about me is when I just collapse, gasping for air. Some say it's just a sickness, though I think it affects me in ways it might not other people. But I know it's real, something always trying to surface in my pure heart.
You may have noticed I haven't mentioned my mother, at least, not until now. It's because I don't have one. My mother died when I was very young, leaving me in the arms of my father, whom is the only person I have and I him. He's playing the part of my father and mother, which must be hard for him, as I am the only child in the family. I have a guardian, named Kaorinite. She has long dark red hair and piercing eyes. Kaorinite's really mean to me, and oh-so protective and I can't go anywhere without notifying her. It's horrible. It's like I'm a goddess, with a bodyguard. I think, that, I have described everything but me. Here I go.
I have chin-length hair, a black-purple in colour. My eyes are a purplish, violet maybe, colour. The skin on my body is uniquely pale, a tint of pink on my cheeks. I am thin, and short in height. I am who I am. I am Hotaru Tomoe, daughter of Souchi Tomoe and Keiko Tomoe.
But enough of that. You may think I am a perfect, ordinary girl, who has everything. As I said earlier, I have no friends at all. I wish I had a friend, someone to spill my secrets, someone who listens to everything I say, someone who believes in me. Someone who treats me like they would someone else, not like an outside. Someone who treats me like Hotaru. Anyway, I think I have given you, Diary, enough details today. I am sorry for placing a burden upon you, the burden of my feelings. You do not deserve that. I shall write tomorrow, or, perhaps, when I am ready to control my feelings and am ready to write again. Though, I have glued in a picture of me, Hotaru Tomoe for you to look at. I hope you enjoy it. Love you loads!
Your friend forever,
Hotaru Tomoe
