History

Spoiler The Real World Nimori was born and raised in the town of Watari, within the Miyagi Prefecture, she was given what could be considered an average, if not somewhat difficult life from an early age. Born to a family tied to a balance of ancient customs and traditions, with the drive to live in the newfound world of technology and development, she was engaged with a number of experiences from a young age. Attending both cultural festivals that were considered to be slowly dying out, as well as new events focused on the modern world's enthralling features, Nimori found herself always involved in something. Living in what would be considered a middling class lifestyle, Nimori spent her early days living with her family; her mother, who worked at a local travel experience for tourism and fishing, her father, who spent most of his days diving into the technological world of security and safety for online devices, and her older sister (Akane Ashigawa), who was two years her senior and her closest friend. While considered a normal family, Nimori found herself the target of bullying more often than not during her schooling years; a fact that came about due to her own disability - a birth defect that had left her deaf and incapable of common communication. Through various events, continuous transfers between schools and shifting of areas in the hopes of finding somewhere she could fit in, Nimori found herself losing the will to live. It was following a final event - one which left her sister tormented and her mother broken from anguish - that had pushed Nimori to the online world. Pulled from her regular classes and transferred to an online school, she found herself ostracised in truth from those around her - left only to engage with her immediate family. In order to find some means of social engagement, Nimori found herself delving into the various aspects of online communities; joining forums, various groups, and eventually online games. It was during these online games that she found the truth behind her interests - roleplaying games, which allowed her to become someone else entirely. Nimori dove into the various fantastical worlds, excited and determined to leave herself behind in order to become someone else - someone who didn't have the disabilities and issues that she faced every day; a hope that relieved the pain, if only for a short time. With the announcement of the virtual world of Sword Art Online, Nimori felt a single glimmer of hope - an area that would provide her the possibility to leave behind a limitation, and allow her to express herself as many others had. A world where she wouldn't need to communicate through signs and written word, where she wouldn't have to worry about the scars of bullying and the impacts of limitations on her chances of making friends.     Entry & Exploration Sword Art Online turned out to be both the freedom and escape that Nimori had been looking for in her attempt to escape the real world. As she had entered the world of Aincrad, a new discovery lay upon her - the ability to hear things. Where once silence had filled her ears, Nimori found herself capable of not only noticing the harsh vibrations that normally came across as sound for her, but also the minor details that would be lost to her disability - a true capability of hearing. While it was imperfect, and unknown to her far from a true normalcy, Nimori found herself ecstatic at the discovery. Her first few hours were spent exploring the world by herself, silently greeting and passing by other players - with out a single word spoken. She quickly fell in love with the game, finding new pathways to explore and an entire world that allowed her to be someone else - someone other than who she had been in the real world. Through careful movements and testing, she quickly learnt the basics of the system that allowed a player to engage with the world, moving out of the Town of Beginnings with a light heart, and quickly becoming proficient at the most basic aspects. Nirmori found the world not only an escape from the place that she no longer desired to be - but also a beautiful one, which she could appreciate and love with the hopes of a fresh start. Excitement, hope and happiness flooded her for the first time in a long time, and Nimori found the darkness within her heart left behind as she traversed the various grasslands and walkways alone, content for the time to simply experience the world as it was. As evening slowly approached within the game, and Nimori noticed that hours had passed already as she freely moved about, she made the hard decision to return to the real world - if only to eat and take care of her basic necessities, before returning to this newfound paradise. Her excitement and hope slowly faded away, however, upon the discovery of a singular fact - the button used for signing out, her one way out of the world, appeared disabled. The panic and fear was slow to approach, and Nimori sent off numerous messages to the administrators, without any response. As her nerves began to take hold, and a true fear spread through her, Nimori found herself transported from the grasslands she had found refuge in during her attempt to log out, her body instantly joining the masses within the Town of Beginning's main square. As questions rose around her, and individuals nearby turned to her and others for explanations, Nimori found herself wondering if she hadn't made a mistake joining this world - a question which was slowly confirmed, when the announcement was given.   The Announcement & Aftermath The announcement and confirmation of their circumstances left the ten thousand players in a panic - a mass of emotions rolling over each and every single one who had been gathered and informed. Nimori was no exception to the experience, and she found herself moving through the crowd in a daze as she tried to understand what was occurring. The true horror, was yet to come however, as she approached a single individual who appeared outwardly calm and in control. Whether through blind fear, determination, or pure desperate hope, Nimori reached out to the individual with intent, speaking for the very first time since entering the game. Fresh horror engulfed Nimori as strangled gasping sounds escaped her - words that came with little in the way of coherence or truly comprehensible annotations. The player before her, once calm and controlled, stared at Nimori with a concerned, almost horrified look at the thing in front of it, and Nimori found herself fleeing with a newfound fear. She was reminded, in that moment, that although her hearing had returned to a degree, the years of relying upon non-vocal forms of communication had left her without the ability to perform a basic action - that of performing the sounds required, and measured, in order to speak to another person. Once more, Nimori found herself ostracised; stuck in a world where she had been given a partial gift, and yet left with no way to properly engage with those around her. Present Day It had taken Nimori time to overcome the discovery of her limitations before she had made a return to the world in earnest. Calling it, within her mind, the Dark Days, Nimori had turned away from the world of Aincrad in the hopes of discovering exactly where her limitations lay. Although she had regained some of her capabilities to hear, it was imperfect. Nimori had spent may days discerning exactly where the extent of her newfound capabilities could reach, only coming to the conclusion that she was able to hear - to a degree. Enough that she could understand what others said to her, so long as they weren't too far away, and that it was more comprehensible if she was looking directly at them. Although disappointment had swelled at her discoveries, she found herself realising that she had at least gained something - although she couldn't directly speak with others, a skill which she knew would take time to develop, she could at least hear what they had to say. It took time for Nimori to overcome the horror and disgust that she had felt following the announcement and the associated discovery of her own personal faults, but eventually she had made her way back into the world of Aincrad - learning that several floors had already been cleared while she had hidden away. In every corner she traversed, she came across players determined to push forwards, to find a way out - beacons of hope in an otherwise dark and despairing world. She still wasn't entirely certain as to why, but something about the depression that she had encountered in others had affected her. Surprised, due to her history, Nimori had found herself instead focusing on gaining hope and drive, pushing outwards in an attempt to escape the world that had trapped her once more. Although she knew what awaited her in the real world, she found herself joining small groups of individuals looking to reach the frontlines, in the hopes of maybe helping others escape. Each day was a battle for those around her, but Nimori found herself struggling where others weren't - her hearing impairments still limiting her capabilities, leaving her with disadvantages that others never had; an uphill struggle that was made only worse by the semi-gift that she had been given.  Time passed, and although Nimori fought her way through the first few floors, she found herself lagging behind - her abilities hindered as she tried to rely on senses that she had little experience with. As days slowly turned into months, and then years, Nimori found herself reaching the edges of despair, and although she continues to struggle forwards, she finds herself uncertain of her own skills and capabilities...

Virtues

Flaws

Spoiler Honesty. For better or for worse, Nimori believes that honesty in entirety is the only way to communicate. Although she sometimes finds herself revealing too much information to others, she has always worn her heart on her sleeve, leaving secrets behind and providing others with the truth - whether they want to hear it or not. Although commended for her honesty, many have found the habit to be detrimental in their dealings, both for themselves and for Nimori.  Loyalty. While she has always had a troubled past with creating and maintaining relationships, Nimori believes that loyalty to those whom you partner is paramount. Nimori has, during her time in Aincrad, developed the belief that those who agree to spend time with her are worth protecting. When given the opportunity, Nimori has proven her loyalty through her determination to help and protect those who trust her, as few as they may be.  Bravery. While fear may surround her heart, Nimori is generally the first to step up and face danger when it presents itself. Capable of pushing down the fear that grips herself and others, she often attempts to instil her bravery on those around her - generally through her sheer presence. Though it may not be obvious through first interactions, Nimori has proven her bravery in various minor fights that she has engaged in, as simple as they may be.  Selfless. Distaste and disgust for her own existence have lent Nimori a single beneficial cause; a selflessness that cannot be rivalled. While she cares little for herself and her own wellbeing, she is often seen giving to and for others without hesitation. This selflessness, although considered a virtue, has left Nimori abused by many others; her smile never broken regardless of how she's treated.

Spoiler Self Loathing. Although she has never told another living being in Aincrad, Nimori holds a hatred for her very existence. While this hatred is hidden behind her false smiles, it is one which reaches to her very core. More often than not, she acts out in ways that are purposefully meant to harm herself - ways in which are often mistaken for bravery, loyalty, or a desire to protect others.  Communication. Due to the years of impairment that Nimori has experienced, she remains incapable of speaking in a truly coherent manner. The few times she does speak aloud, forgoing sign language in a desperate attempt to get her point across, her words often come out slurred and barely comprehensible. This has left her unwelcomed in many parties, due to the limitations it provides in combat and exploring.  False Happiness. Times over and again Nimori has been complimented and praised for her eternal happiness, and the way she seems to approach every aspect with a smile on her face. While the pain within is hidden from those around her, Nimori has never once shown a single sign of the depression she feels every moment. Instead, she focuses on keeping her appearance one which helps those around her; smiling even when they pain her. Stubborn Determination. No matter the challenge that Nimori faces, she does so with pure determination to over come it. What many don't know, is that she does this in order to help and appease others, going so far as to give up for herself that which could benefit another. More often than not, this has been mistaken for her selfless and caring nature, a mistake which leads to a darker secret.
