Name: Hayashi Setsuna
Called: Hayashi-sensei (Japanese students), Miss Hayashi (foreign students), Setsuna (colleagues and acquaintances), Secchan (close friends and family)
Nationality: Japanese
Religious affiliation: Buddhism
Age (upon AA entrance): 25
Birthday: May 17, 1981
Hair Color: Black (strands turn somewhat brown or blue when shone by sunlight)
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 5 ft. 8 in.
Weight: 110 lbs.
Teaches: American/European English language and culture, Japanese language and culture, Kyudo (Japanese art of archery)
Alice: Ice Control – To put it simply, Setsuna has the ability to manipulate ice in any way possible. However, she would still need to extract a small amount of water particles from her own body and then fuse it to a larger amount of water to make it ice. This is not to be confused with water manipulation though, as she can only extract water from her body if she wishes to create ice. After using the ice, it’s up to her whether she’d leave it as ice or change it back to its water form. That means that the extracted water from her body will also go back inside her. Setsuna never got to master her craft in her earlier years due to her studies, but the percentage of her alice mastery goes up due to the free time she has on her hands lately.
Abilities: Setsuna has total control over her ice creations due to the fact that when she was still a child, her father had her train her alice. Setsuna could simply extract water particles from her body and use that small amount to create ice; in other words, she doesn't necessarily need to fuse it with larger amounts of water. The size and weight of her ice creations depend on how much water she used. Since she can control ice, she is also able to manipulate its temperature and solidity, but keeping in mind that the ice might melt or shatter if she manipulates it too much. What’s more, her creations has become stronger as the years pass by, so even though it’s ice, it would be somehow hard to break. She can also manipulate existing ice, either by just mentally summoning it or merging water particles from her body on to the existing ice.
Drawbacks: This ice manipulator has quite a difficulty in controlling existing ice especially when she simply chooses to summon it. The larger the existing ice, the harder it is for Setsuna to manipulate. Also, because she has to take water out of her body everytime she uses her alice, she becomes slightly dehydrated; thankfully, as the years go by, the amount of water she needs to take out to use her alice becomes smaller and smaller. Of course, although she has control over ice, she is still vulnerable to the cold and will eventually get hypothermia. But once again, as the years go by, her vulnerability to the cold has dropped to match the frequency of her alice usage.
Appearance:
Standing 5’8 in height, this 26 year-old woman is taller than most Japanese women her age. She has slightly squinted brown eyes and black hair which is common for Asians. Setsuna’s skin color is just fair, although it’s not really silky smooth because of her extensive kyudo training way back her childhood. She likes to wear many kinds of lipstick to emphasize her plump yet beautiful lips. Whenever she smiles, her cheekbones show.
Because of her tall frame and thin body, most people think that Setsuna is anorexic, but that’s not true—she’s just what most people call ‘born thin’. She maintains a healthy diet and exercises everyday to keep her satisfying figure.
Clothing: Although she’s not much of a fashionist, Setsuna has a really good grip of what clothes look good on her. Basically, she wears what’s comfortable. At times when she’s just spending time, she wears simple tees, denim pants or shorts, and of course, sneakers or flip-flops. Her choice of clothing is rather casual that she can’t easily blend with the bold and flamboyant fashion evident of the people within the academy. When teaching, she wears semi-formal outfits, usually short-sleeved blouses, slacks, and short-heeled sandals—of course, at her height, it’s better if she just wore short heels. During her kyudo trainings, she wears her ‘kyudo uniform,’ which consists of a pure white keikogi, a navy blue hakama, and tabi to match her traditional wooden sandals.
Setsuna dresses casually most of the time, but she does know how to wear formal and elegant clothing. Actually, she has a number of long gowns, dresses and high-heeled shoes stacked in her closet. Not only that, she has a lot of traditional Japanese clothing in her wardrobe, and she is never hesitant to use them especially during celebrations.
Personality: Being a Taurean, Setsuna is truly the human equivalent of a bull. She’s very stubborn, persistent and determined, particularly when it comes to making choices. Once she has made her decision, nobody will be able to change her mind. Having a placid personality but most of the time making reckless things, one may say that she is a walking contrast. She is never afraid of saying what she wants to say, especially when she believes she’s right. Some of her bad traits are laziness and clumsiness, but it seldom shows.
Whenever she faces her students, she becomes a whole new person. A childish Setsuna would never surface, but a capable, intelligent and dedicated Hayashi-sensei does. She had always been strict with her students, but that’s just because she believes that when one has good authority over students, the students will easily learn. When the classes are finished though, she is not that hard to approach. She’ll be back to her friendly, optimistic yet clumsy self of hers.
Other traits:
- a lover of beauty and art
- likes to pamper and be pampered
- patient
- usually of cheerful disposition
Background: Coming from an age-old clan of ninja warriors gifted with rather powerful ‘abilities’, Setsuna didn’t quite experience a normal life. She is the third child of the Hayashi family, which comes from Toyama in the island of Honshu, Japan. Her father, Hayashi Katsushiro, is a reputable swordsman and martial artist and her mother, Kudo Sayo, is a renowned kyudo teacher in Toyama as well as a loving housewife. Their family earns a living through Katsushiro’s martial arts school, Sayo’s kyudo lessons and the income of Setsuna’s older siblings. Toyama Science Institute, where Sayo taught kyudo, is where Setsuna graduated elementary and high school from. Because the Hayashi clan is one of the most famous and powerful families in Toyama, it also implies they are one of the wealthiest too.
Katsushiro and Sayo required their children to learn at least one kind of skill or martial art at a very young age. At the age of 5, Setsuna started learning martial arts and Kendo under her father. But as time progresses, little Setsuna found herself more inclined to her mother’s kyudo than her father’s traditional martial arts. Since then, she trained under Sayo, alongside her older sister Nadeshiko. Sayo is a gentle mother, but when she faces her children as their kyudo instructor, she is as strict to them as she is with her other students.
The physical training Setsuna and her siblings went through was not only because of their family’s pride, but it would also pave a way for the children to control the ‘hidden abilities’ they’ve been blessed with. Katsushiro and Sayo were aware of this, having special abilities themselves. Everyday after training, Setsuna and her siblings would run to their father to start practicing their abilities. To hide these practices, Katsushiro had a room in their house built only for this reason. Eventually as the children entered junior high, the practices became irregular due to the fact that they are getting busy.
When Setsuna entered her freshman year in high school, she became team captain of the kyudo team in Toyama Science Institute, taking over the position her sister Nadeshiko held. She reached the National Kyudo Competition during her final year in high school, but then she was diagnosed with symptoms of Japanese encephalitis and had to be confined two days before her last game. She came in second in the rankings, but had she been able to compete in her last game, she would’ve been the champion. After two weeks of treatment, she regained her health and came back to school as if nothing happened.
Setsuna’s parents sent her to America to study college. She took up Bachelor of Arts in Language and Cultural Studies, taking a double major in English and Japanese. After three years, she got her degree and worked in a local American high school for two years before going back to Japan. The reason why she went back to her home country was because she heard about a school who admitted extraordinary children which had similar abilities to her. Upon arriving at Japan, Setsuna arranged her papers to work for the said school, and that school is Alice Academy.
