[/size]Height: 5'6"
Weight: 131 lbs.
Hair Color/Style: Blue; cut short, just shy of her shoulders, bangs to the left
Face Claim: Aqua, kingdom hearts: birth by sleep
Brief Overview: Standing at 5'6" and often wearing a warm smile, Aqua is a very approachable person. She seems slight, almost dainty, but years of exercise have given her the strong, if thin muscles of an athlete. Aqua's love for the outdoors also shines in her sun-kissed skin. She has short, choppy blue hair and eyes of a very similar color, usually bright with excitement. Her face is heart-shaped, with thick eyelashes, thin, naturally arched eyebrows, and somewhat thin lips. Between her cheerful disposition and warm appearance, Aqua has little trouble making friends.[/left][/size]

[/size]Likes: Meeting new people, intelligence, naivety, those willing to learn, teaching, being outdoors, rain, swimming, people that are passionate about what they do, doughy foods
Dislikes: Obstinateness, failing students, ill manners, bickering, confined spaces, picking on the weak, lulls in conversation, being idle
Overview: Aqua Kohyuga is - first and foremost - an incredibly kind person. She has a tremendous heart, one that she often wears on her sleeve, and she has no hesitation in reaching out to help others for nothing in return. Aqua is the kind of person that gets pleasure out of making someone smile, whether student or peer, and would never ignore someone in need. She is directed by a strong moral code, one of clear right's and clear wrong's and enjoys the age old idea of justice. This, however, combined with her strong-will, can often cause her to butt heads with people that don't share her convictions. But Aqua enjoys competition, not making enemies, and she is willing to listen to all sides.
Reliable and sturdy, when she says she'll do something, she'll do it. She has a passion for everything she does and when she lacks it, it shows greatly. She often expects everyone to share her same enthusiasm for the things she loves, which can cause friction with, for example, students that are unwilling to learn. She is a terrible liar and can be flustered easily, but Aqua has a tendency shake all things off when they make her uncomfortable. Often this is her own downfall as even very important things that make her feel suffocated will be pushed to the back until she has no choice (and no way) to deal with them.
Having had a passion to learn since she was born, Aqua is intelligent and eager. She never turns down an opportunity to learn something new and is always striving to push herself forward. Not surprisingly, she has a tendency to overwork herself and, while aware of it, has to be forced to slow down, whether by colleagues or by the collapse of her strength. She enjoys meeting new people and making friends. Those that give her the time of day are quick to realize her compassion and devotion to those she calls friends.
To top it all off, she is modest to an almost alarming degree; Aqua rarely needs reassurance that she is good or that she has helped someone. She has enough self-confidence to keep herself going but will never brush off praise as redundant.

[/size]Mother: Meg Kohyuga
Father: Erik Kohyuga
Siblings: Holland Kohyuga, elder brother
Home town: Traverse Town
Overview: Born to Meg and Erik Kohyuga, Aqua lived a modest life in the second district of Traverse Town. She was the second of two children, her elder brother Holland coming five years before her. As the baby, she shadowed her elder brother, trying desperately to emulate him despite being half a decade his younger. Her excitement to follow in his stead proved both amusing and irritating to Holland, and his stern attitude created a rivalry (albeit friendly) between the two of them. Holland and Aqua's competition only excelled Aqua further, teaching her how to deal with stubbornness, how to win, how to lose gracefully, and how to argue rationally. All of these traits would help her in the future and Aqua is not above giving her brother all the credit for them.
As hinted above, Aqua tried to hang out with the older crowd, even from a young age and pity for Holland often allowed her to stay. When she was finally forced to hang out with her own age group, her experience with others had led her to be a leader. Despite her willingness to take charge, Aqua retained an attitude not to leave others behind, and her pure hearted kindness made her reach out to everyone around her. She made friends easily and her desire to absorb all the knowledge around her made her a quick study and an ample student. She took great interest in history from a young age, amazed at everything that had come before her and saddened that everything could be so easily forgotten.
Aqua excelled in school and in her social life and after high school she followed her passion to teach, landing a position in Twilight Town. While she had loved the position, her hopes to extend her reach set her sights on Kingdom University. Aqua fretted over her first interview, questioned how well she did, but when she was invited back to Kingdom University for a second interview, she put everything she had into it. The call back, offering her a teaching position was one of the biggest breaks in her career. But more importantly, Aqua was honored to teach at such a prestigious school and immediately accepted the position.
She is a fresh face on the staff, only a few months into the job, but her joy for teaching has not let her go unnoticed.

Roleplay Sample:
It was easiest for her to just ignore everything around her. She walked with her head down, listened to her own breathing, watched her feet, left right left right. It was easier if she pretended there was nothing. Because that's how she was supposed to see it: as nothing. She wasn't supposed to be amused when someone in her class acted foolish. She wasn't supposed to be irritated when someone couldn't grasp a concept and her teachings couldn't move on. She wasn't supposed to feel excitement when the grip of her keyblade manifested in her palm. She wasn't supposed to feel anything.
And yet she felt everything.
Inhale. Exhale. A voice reminded her to remember her place.
Minka sighed. Even after. What was it now? Three? Four years? She still couldn't quell the spark of emotion at, well, everything that happened around her. In fact, it may have become harder, surrounded by humans like herself: girls who laughed and cried and blushed, boys who hollered and flirted and boasted. Her only reprieve was this: walking alone, ignoring the world, hoping nothing would --
Break in.
Minka felt the danger before it happened, her forward footsteps stuttering into a retreat. Immediately after, the place she had been standing in was filled with a stumbling girl. Minka, too surprised to quell the feeling of both shock and curiosity, tried to find what had caused the blushing girl to fall away. As the interruption ran back to her friends, Minka found the boy, the source of her embarrassment, twirling by the fountain. Minka blinked, watching as he lept, then turned to the small crowd that had stopped to watch, most of them in stupefaction.
Then he began to sing, soft and pretty, and Minka felt the tension in her shoulders easing at the sound. They did not sing often on her homeworld but when they did it was of hymns of praise or in denouncement of their natural emotions. It left her feeling homesick, and Minka lowered her head, thinking of her mother. Sadness washed over her, then anger, than guilt. She tried to console herself: they are only memories of the one who bore and raised me. I am allowed to remember. But she knew it was just remembrance. It was love, and it was loss.
Minka brought herself back to the present, pushing the thoughts away. She could remember later. Unfortunately, the ease of forgetting the thoughts of her mother was only so easily done because she realized that all of the bystanders, save for her, had moved on, no longer content with watching this boy show off. She was alone, the one-woman audience for the brash boy. "Oh," she muttered softly, suddenly frozen to the spot. Her body told her to leave, leave now, before he noticed her, but all the different directions it wanted her to run left her confused, unable to follow the order.
