The Omamori Clan 🎋

One of the minor sorcerer families in Japan, but they are still plenty well respected. Especially since they rank just below the 3 Major Clans.

Gifted with the power of chance, something we as humans so desire, their technique Seal of Fortune is cherished among their lineage & even envied by outsiders.

Like most sorcerer clans, if there were more than one child it was most likely the eldest child would inherit the technique. However, it took a different turn as it was a daughter that took up the technique as well as the family name.

The most powerful ancestor known throughout the Omamori blood line, the Lady Fortune. The only female sorcerer that has inherited the Clan’s technique: there has never been another female heir until the birth of Miyoko.

Thus granting Miyoko the title of the Clan’s heir and as the next Lady Fortune. Miyoko is known very well throughout the rest of the clans because of this. However, due to traditional values, the Omamori deal with a lot of criticism for having a woman as heir.

Unsei Omamori

Age: 47

Cursed Technique: Seal of Fortune

Likes: Sake, dice games, & Ahmya’s cooking but mostly her motsuyaki

As head of the Omamori Clan, Unsei is quite prideful in his skills & powerful strength regarding his technique. While to the public he is prideful & rambunctious, he holds a deep sense of love for his family & proudly states how wonderful they are. However there are times his arrogance gets the better of him & his wife often keeps him in check.

Ahmya Omamori

Age: 42

Cursed Technique: Paper Doll - Resembling Washi Ningyo dolls, she is able to summon & control these little paper than can easily be hidden from sight. Making it useful for stealth & surprise attacks.

Likes: Origami, kaninabe, & doing her daughter’s makeup

Regal & strong willed, Ahmya is well known throughout the Jujutsu World not only for her husband but for her status as the 2nd head of her Clan. She was married into Omamori Family by her parents & despised Unsei for when they were younger, but seeing Unsei’s kind heart she eventually fell in love with him. As it was him that gave her a position & never saw her as an object nor trophy. However, a good smack to the neck often keeps him in line.

Kenji Omamori

Age: 15

Cursed Technique: Paper Doll

Likes: Omurice, pretty girls, anime

The second oldest: Kenji sees himself as a “handsome & reliable young man” but in reality he’s just a skirt chaser. However, he knows his mother & sister disapprove of this behavior so he often pulls the “innocent child” routine when they’re around. Despite this, he admires his eldest sister to an incredible extent, however he struggles knowing how sometimes he wishes he were born first.

Shō Omamori

Age: 13

Cursed Technique: Paper Doll

Likes: Daifuku, manga, video games

The youngest: Shō is often a very quiet & timid child who stand out in his rowdy family. He’s always had trouble making friends especially outside of his status so he’s often seen clinging to his brother or sister. Like Kenji, he admires his sister to a great extent but ends up following her like a lost little puppy. He doesn’t speak much, one might think he’s mute.

Major Secrets

Since people were curious, here’s a list of the cast’s major secrets.

Abel Dumont

Abel killed his brother in order to prevent him from whistleblowing about his company's illegal activities.

Abel’s company is involved in various criminal organizations as a means to bolster his own financial gain.

Alise Pavlova

Alise Pavlova's long-term fiancé was caught cheating on her with one of her celebrity clients. He was her only partner in life, as well as her closest childhood friend. 

Despite her outward appearance, Alise grew up in a low-income family that struggled to make ends meet.

Azami Otomachi

Despite being advertised as such, Azami Otomachi does not make every Omamori case sold at the Amida Shrine herself.

Clove Rosenburg

Clove Rosenburg contributed to the unhealthy home environment that eventually led to her elder brother’s nervous breakdown and subsequent disowning from the Rosenburg family. She did nothing to help him and benefitted from him leaving. She’s too cowardly to attempt to find out what has become of him after over a decade of his absence.

Eun-mi Choi (cw: drug use)

Eun-mi’s talent was bought for her.

Eun-mi indulges in designer drugs.

Jia Li Stroelat

Jia Li is not royalty and never has been.

Jia Li suffers from fibromyalgia and an unknown skin condition, making her physically weak and sometimes mentally unstable.

Juniper West

Juniper almost destroyed two people’s lives in order to become popular. She feels like it was a disgusting act that has now placed limits on what she feels comfortable writing about.

Kenji Kobashigawa

Deep down, Kenji isn’t exactly the tough as nails badass he puts himself out to be. Anything that might make himself seem “weak” in front of others is promptly hidden away and replaced with a façade of strength and aggression. Many of his interests fall under this category.

In his mind, the main reason his crew stayed by his side all this time was because of his toughness, not despite it, so he’ll do anything to keep that image intact, as to keep them by his side for as long as possible.

Kourou ʻŌpūnui

Kourou ʻŌpūnui worked as a scam-artist for nearly 6 months, performing fake seances and palm readings. This ended when one of his customers had a panic attack caused by him messing with her for fun.

Miel (cw: suicide)

Miel accidentally hurt his former friend in a fight, giving them a knee injury that ruined their future as a dancer.

Miel attempted suicide when he was 18 via carbon monoxide poisoning.

Mitzi Mae

Mitzi Mae is not a real person. They are a celebrity persona Amaryllis made up thanks to a belief that they were destined to live life as a humdrum nobody. Amaryllis is horribly ashamed and insecure of their true self, believing themself to be an awful, selfish person who can’t be salvaged by any means. They were a highschool menace, starting drama and underage drinking and smoking just to get a kick out of life. After running away from their family in pursuit of freedom and fame, they began to go by Mitzi as an attempt to turn over a new leaf as a better version of themself.

Amaryllis ran away from home after they were offered the chance to make it big from the Majoris-Maroune family. They also made a failed attempt to fake their death, but that didn’t really go anywhere. This left their aunt at a loss and their family’s shop risking bankruptcy.

Morticia Bates (cw: eating disorder)

Morticia Bates has bulimia, and has for years. Her mentor actively encouraged her to develop it, in fact.

Jessica Penn, despite posing as a mere mentor, is Mortica Bate’s birth mother, with Harrison Penn as her father. Morticia’s lineage was kept a secret so she could be part of a long publicity stunt, meant to keep Jessica relevant and create the perfect protegee.

Redd Wells

Redd got fired from his first job for arguing with a customer. He still believes that the customer deserved it, but it’s embarrassing when it puts him in a negative light like this.

Reiko Eigawa

Reiko Eigawa has falsely reported multiple missing persons as deceased, effectively helping them fake their deaths.

Ren Nakajima

Ren pushed a girl named Reina down a flight of stairs as revenge for tormenting her during high school. She was never caught for the incident and it was deemed an accident.

Ren’s hat is a memento that used to belong to her father, who passed away when she was just 10 years old.

Seisei Ichijiku

Seisei has an intense case of existentialist thought, causing him to worry over many issues.

Seisei has a debt worth over $250,000.

Truth Maxence

Truth has never received a hug from either of their parents. They hate that they crave something as simple as this. It means so much to them, but they simply have never gotten this type of loving affection from the people who are supposed to show that to their children. 

Truth is actually a government agent, not a conspiracy theorist.
