#but i also love mysteriously magical hikari with spooky bullshit powers

i could unpack my giant pile of stuff in the living room or i could hash out some hikari headcanons and one of those options means i can stay on my couch

there are no bad pictures of hikari. either she has a sixth sense for when there’s a camera pointed in her direction or she’s just that photogenic, but there can be a blurry 3AM selfie that she’s barely in the frame of and she’ll still be looking flawless. it’s a mystery.

she makes a point to adopt the kind of cats that are sometimes seen as “less adoptable” - cats with FIV or three legs or neurological problems. it sucks that they’re so often overlooked and she loves giving them the good home they deserve.  

she and noriko end up going to the same college for elementary ed and room with each other. the first time it’s a total coincidence but they hit it off and live with each other for most of college. 

out of self-preservation, given her circumstances, she’s taught herself a lot about the occult and non-mainstream religions. has a healthy wariness of ouija boards and seances and the like, but also is a stickler about ~proper etiquette~.  

hikari is kind and generous and sweet and normally willing to let people borrow basically anything from her, from pens to much more expensive and important stuff, but try and take her pokemon yellow game from her on pain of D E A T H 

can and will sell you to satan for one corn chip strawberry ice cream.

gets some serious bedhead in the mornings, to the point where people look at her and taichi and joke about how they can suddenly see the family resemblance. 

she’s astonishingly good at poker and similar card games. her innocent face hides the fact that she can and will clean you out and will have a great time doing it. 

contrary to popular belief, would absolutely throw taichi under the bus for laughs in day to day life. her comedic timing is #goals. somehow nobody ever sees it coming even though it’s not exactly a rare occurrence.  

(that being said, try to throw him under the bus for something that’s not harmless and funny and she will e n d you. she’s very protective of her brother in her own way.)

hikari is well aware that she has some kind of supernatural power, and it unnerves her that she’s not sure of its limits. truesight, occasionally attracting eldritch horrors, the shenanigans she pulled in the sewers in Adventure where she lowkey evolved other people’s partners and the numemon worshipped her as some kind of deity - how far does it go, she wonders?

as much as she wants to know, she’s scared to find out.
