Author's Note and Character Profiles

Hi, I am known as BlueSoulKLH64 at Fanfiction, and Katara in my stories as the author. Well, for those of you who watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, Katara is one of the main characters. Although I can't water bend, one of Katara's powers—as myself—is having an alter ego who favors water elements. Even though it's similar, I still call Katara my own.

Hailey Ishtar- for the record, I had to ask permission of the 'real' Hailey Ishtar to write this. Hailey Ishtar is a made up character which I did not make up. Maybe a few of you had read The Rose Trilogy by Hailey Ishtar. (She had a different author name which I can't remember at the moment, but now she's Mazakai.) Although I can't release names, Hailey is a real alter ego of one of my friends. I took the character from her, and made a different story out of her. You will notice that in all fanfictions about Hailey that she will always be paired up with the one and only Seto Kaiba. (Hints the name Hailey Kaiba!!!!!! Actually, in this one she stays Ishtar, but there are others where she's Hailey Kaiba.) It has something to do with the actual person who just happens to be OBSESSED with Seto. So her ground rule is basically that she gets him and no one else in the story. Of course I bend it in any way possible, but still…

The Himura Family- For the Rurouni Kenshin fans out there (And Samurai X fans) you will know that Kenshin Himura, Kaoru Kamiya, (Kaoru Himura when she's married) and Kenji Himura are actual characters on the show. Again, they did not have another girl called Katara Himura; I made her up. I think it was fun working with two different anime shows and combining them into one. For a heads up in the future, let's just say that Hailey and Kenshin hit it up (not romantically) and you'll see the differences of the two shows clash into one. Oh, and you'll notice that I have Kenji being evil. Kenji is mischievous in Samurai X, so I just amplified his character a bit. And it helps that it was based off of a boy I know who acts like him.

Kenji Himura- oh boy, I had a lot of fun with this character. I based his attitude not only after the real Kenji Himura, but also off of an ex-boyfriend of mine, and a current boyfriend of 'Hailey's.' Scratch that, they just broke up for the…third time! Well, I started writing about him after we had broken up, and even though my best friend is going out with him, I still write about him being this evil antagonist. She has even given me ideas willingly to write about him! To me, the guy I based him off of acts like Kenji, so it only made sense to make the part his.

Katara Himura- this is more info on Katara. She's really older then Kenji in my story, though if this were real, then she's be younger. She doesn't go to school because she was home schooled and got a basic high school graduation over with when she was sixteen. After that she started studying swordsmanship from her mother and father. She's best friends with Hailey because of their 'backgrounds' and that's just been one of the few you'll find they have in common.

The Millennium Items- For the record, this is called a fan fiction for a reason. I do not know if the spirits of the items are as old as I saw they are or if they are the incarnations of whom I say they are. I just made a guess, and I had to make it work with the story. So for those who actually know who goes where, feel free to contact me with the truth and we'll see what we can get done.

Zach Fromm- Zach Fromm is an actual person. I mean that's his name and everything. You see, when I started this story, I was in a production of The King and I, and Zach Fromm just happened to be the English Diplomat, Sir Edward Ramsey, that comes to Siam and sees Anna… I think you get the idea. Well the 'real' Hailey happens to have had a relationship with Zach, so I had to put him in there somewhere.

Emily- Emily is another real person, I was just smart enough to put her as a pen pal so there is no last name really. In real life, Emily just happens to have feelings for Zach. And she's one of my best friends, so I had to put her in. you'll notice that there are a lot of names that aren't from an anime story mentioned for a disclaimer. Chances are that I made them up and they're really my friends. Like Jillian for instance, Mokuba's girlfriend, she's one of my friends and I wanted to put her in.
