Kiriko Hidamari was born and raised on New Tokyo by her mother and father, Mikoto and Toru Hidamari. Formerly Toru Itou, Kiris Father was a strong believer in the Kusarian governments efforts in the War against Bretonia, after the rest of the Itou family had lost faith in their Emperor and government they joined the Blood Dragons.
Toru's Wife was heavily pregnant with a baby girl (Kiriko) and pre birth scans detected abnormal symptoms in the unborn child. Knowing that his child would be unfit for a life in space, and torn between his birth family and his own family Toru broke off ties to the rest of the Itou family to protect his own and settled down on New Tokyo.
Kiriko was born a normal birth however suffered from an afliction similar to Anaemia, the Hidamari family was not very wealthy, this meant that not only was treatment for her condition firmly out of reach, it also meant that her food intake was incredibly low, bother her hight and her weight are many many years behind where she could have been potentially in a more wealthy house hold, Kiri's appearance is that of small child, and her age isnt that far off, she desperatley tries to keep this as much of a secret as she can, but every so often this becomes impossible to maintain, especially in the public eye.
Her Kusari tongue is the cause of no end of ammounts of trouble in Bretonia, she was rescued from a burning village on New Tokyo where her family fell victim to the Kusari Emperor's soldiers after her parents were alleged to be working against the Emperor and the rest of Kusari, rescued by a band of Blood Dragons, she stayed with them and even learned that they were infact all that remained of her family, the ship and its crew lived a peacful life as Blood Dragon outlaws, however they were scorn by the rest of the Blood dragons for never openly opposing the Emperor, when the TeruTeru was in New Tokyo a fake distress beacon on the BLood Dragon frequency was picked up in the asteroid field behind planet New Tokyo. all they found at the destination was a Kusari Cruiser ambush. Kiri was thrown into an escape pod before the ship finally cracked killing all of its crew, drifting in space and without medicine Kiri's fate seemed to be sealed, 23 hours later a Golden Crysanthemum patrol found her and took her in.
Still physically weak she was not expected to live to see her 10th birthday, being tormented and bullied by the other GC girls who ended up having to do things in her stead because Kiri was too ill. at only the age of 10 she requested to be able to fly, she was denied and meraculously managed to survive the harsh treatment from her peers despite her condition untill the age of 11, already failing suicide a number of times as well as her inability to accomplish tasks the other girls found easy she gained the name "shippaisha-chan" or "Failure-chan", wanting her out of their hair she was given a fighter to call her own, when the GC patrol she was with got ambushed by KNF forces the remaining GC's thought of her as "disposable bait" using her to cover everyone elses escape, Kiri fought against rediculous odds merely trying to stay alive rather than attack, unknown to Kiri all the GC's that were with her had fled, just as her ship was about to crack the DSS vessels Isocrates, Alexandros and Octavian appeared and fought off the remaining Naval Forces. Kiri cried and whispily called out for help. Unable to bring himself to leave the pilot drifting in space whether she be Kusaria or Bretonian, Captain James Villia of the Isocrates ordered her immediate rescue, Kiri's ship was severed by the Octavian's mining laser, and the cockpit section was brought aboard the Isocrates, despite the tough battle she had faced kiri only sustained minor injuries, however her illess had caught up with her.
Unconscious despite being patched up, Dr Karl Ackerman -Chief of the Isocrates Medical team- understood her affliction, she was fitted with a large metallic implant that covered most of her upper right arm, due to the complex nature of the blood vessel systems in the human body the implant goes deep into her arm, however on the curface appears to be nothing more than a skin tight metal enhancement of somekind. This implant took readings of her blood and used special Cryer pharmaceutical Capsules to slowly or quickly release the vital minerals she was missing into her blood over a period of 6 hours, Kiri dislikes the implant but she knows its what keeps her from seeing the Reaper, if her medicine is not administered Kiri can fall into a coma like sleep, this is normally where she see's the Reaper as it calls her away, she knows if she follows him then she will die.
None of the crew from the Isocrates could believe how young Kiri was, even thought she lied about her age medical examinations proved her words false.
Despite their best efforts Kiri rarely spoke, holding too much of her past with her. Since flying a ship alone at her age is illeagal in bretonia, James Villia had his chief engineeer Mason Hargreaves extend his knowledge of Artificial intelligence into more combat purposes, with the success of the Testament Drone AI Mason was confident that he could create an Ai compatable with Bretonian fighter technology, after a great deal of flight and control surface calibrations, voice recognition, combat analysis and situational awareness test, the Testament AI Mk2 was completed, and in the spirit of the Syndicate naming fashion, the Ai was dubbed by James Villia "Clytemnestra" or "Cly" for short, the only thing Cly could not do on its own was fire its weapons, feeling more at home inside the fighter craft Kiri soon began to speak to the fighter as if it were a real person, quiet nights on the bridge of the Isocrates were always met with the quiet tone of Kiri's voice over the radio, as worried captain James wondered if she was still alright, Kiri confides in the Clytemnestra and believes that it is the only thing that would never hurt her, like symbiotes they rely and protect eachother, for the sake of their survival.
Present Day
With the relative breakup of the Dark Star Syndicate, Kiriko has been wondering which way to go, but always retains the hatred for the entirety of Kusari inside her and wishes to prove that dispite her born heritage she can still serve the Bretonian Queen and maybe one day will earn her right to fly in peace within the Bretonian Nation, protecting that which protected her when she was in most desperate need of salvation, both mentally and physically.
She currently resides with her new family on Gran Carinara in Omega-49 and is now a member of the Bretonia Police Authority

Hey Cly.. I guess I've not been with you for a while huh... gomenasai ne.. Ive been in the hospital, youre probably thinking "again?" right?
I hoped they treated you ok, Im still fixing you so I guess not, it may take a while to work out all the kinks but ill get you back to normal dont you worry, and I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to protect us both from that woman..
that Sakura-san called me a traitor, if only she could know... maybe then she wouldnt hate me... if only people could know how this all came to be I wouldn't be scorn, I find myself fighting against things but I have no idea why, Cly. My Illness... for so long I've been fighting against it... surely it would be easier to just let it kill me... but I get scared... when I can feel my life falling away...and the claws of the Grim Reaper beckoning my soul.... Im a real coward Cly..
if it wasnt for Leo and the Speranza we'd both be dead now right? You remember Leo dont you? Im starting to wonder if I should just throw myself into the Leeds star.. But I wouldnt want you to suffer the same miserable fate Cly you deserve more than that.. And me, but I love you too much to give away, youre worth any amount of money to me, Cly....
Inside the hospital on Leeds was horrible, I got my own room, too keep me safe from the rest of the Bretonian.. women many had lost husbands, brothers and sons to the war, if only they knew how much id lost because of the war... they wouldnt hate me, but they cant help it... they see my face and its reason enough to blame me for it all... Leo must have threatened the medical staff... I had an armed guard at my door at all times... was that to keep them out, or to keep me in? no dont answer that.... Leo is always so worried.. Same with Benjamin-senchou and Robert-senchou...
They all worry so much about me, all I do is cause trouble for everyone..
as I looked out of my hospital window all I could see were endless smoke stacks pumping out industrial fumes... the doctor checking up on me once a day to see if I was still alive so they could give the bed to sombody "more deserving"
Im sorry this is a sad message Cly, but this is how I feel... coming out of the hospital you could sense their relief, on the shuttle bus people gave me a wide birth, if it wasnt automated I doubt id have been let on, and then here I come to find you in pieces still from the fight..
Leo didnt come and see me... I guess I shouldnt be surprised, Im just a nuisance after all, but it made me sad, I have nobody else apart from you Cly.. I know you would come and see me if you could... I was cold and lonely.
Cly... you dont think Im a nuisance right?
*short pause*
As you know Im training to join the BPA, but I dont even know why anymore, without you I cant even read the Bretonian characters... Ive got Bretonians on one side, silently saying "get out" and Kusarians calling me a traitor, even passing merchants say "so youre a traitor?"
I need somewhere to belong... Im... tired of being alone, Cly, every time I gain something its gone soon after... Leo's got too many of his own worries to deal with; did I tell you he will be a father soon? I cant keep bothering him for ever... all I ever wanted was to be able to stand on my own 2 feet, and thats one of the things Ive never got..
I keep getting a stomach turning feeling I'll be called to a disturbance via BPA orders and forced to fight one of the few friends Ive made, Aoyagi-san he is a known Gaian, Techler-san.. a known pirate, I... may even end up fighting Shizuma-san.... I..I dont want to fight them, Cly... I... but if I dont... if I am ordered to, and I dont... what will...happen to us?...
*sniff* look Im crying again... Im so weak, its always been that way, I wish I had your strength Cly, what do you say to leaving with me? Cly... we will leave for an unknown place, as far away as we can go...
That way Leo, and anybody else wont have to worry about us any longer... we will cause nobody trouble ever again...
Hey Cly sorry I left you alone......... you probably no...Noticed, we on a Junker base... hyaha..ha ..aha, Dont worry dont worry... Im not going to......to scrap you ehehe
I had some of Techler-sans drink... i feel funny, my head is spinning and i...feel heavy...
Guess what... ehe, Leo wants me to come and live... with him and Shizuma-san and Techler-san... maybe...........maybe we dont have to go...away after all...
Shizuma-san said I could come and live with them... but it didnt sound...like she wanted me to... if i cause trouble for them we can always go back and sleep under Derby-san *giggles*
she said.... as long as I dont touch Leo... I can stay... Im going to need to be carful... I dont want her to... hate me... I like hugging Leo, it feels so nice... his heart beats so strongly..
ah what am i saying... dont record that bit ok?..
.....
.....
Ne... Cly... what should I do.... I dont want to keep it a secret.... but if they found out how old I really was....... Im such a.. a coward.... I dont want them to think I cant do things... I drank Alices drink, so I think they will not notice for a while yet.... if the... the BPA found out... they'd surely never let me join....
I showed them my a... arm implant just now too..... I was scared Cly... I didnt want them to think I was... a freak...
uuh my head feels so heavy... let me close my eyes for a bit....
Hey Cly... hope you werent too lonely here without Neko-kun...
I had to bring him with me or i wouldnt have been able to get to sleep, i was worried about you though, shi-nee told me not to worry because Ali-nee's Sabre was here with you, that made me feel better..
ah! ne ne Cly... I had pizza last night... its was sooo nice... sort of wierd though... it was bread with tomato sauce and other things on it... cheese and stuff... Im sure youd like it too...
Well, hyaha actually it might make you sick...
Im here to get my medicine before I fall down again... and make everyone worry about me... hey got into a jacuzzi today with Ali-nee and Leo-nii...
it was very wierd and I was worried my implant would hurt because of the bubbles, it was alright though... hey can you swim Cly? you look a little bit like a fish hyaha im kidding im kidding... im sure youd like the jacuzzi but then...i guess not, hyaha youd get even more sick than eating the pizza...
Leo wouldnt look at me when I got into the jacuzzi and demanded that I sit down, I think he might be getting ill, he was going redder and redder by the second... and then I shouted at him, I thought he didnt like the implant in my arm even though I didnt choose to have it...
you know the one Ackerman-sensei put on me when James Villia-senchou rescued me from Kusari and brought me here?... well this was way before I knew you, but now you know.....
mmm...its starting to hurt a little, I think I might be growing out of it.... but Its still a little early to make any serious moves...right? he..hehe.. its going to hurt getting a new one.. and... im scared Cly....since im a coward I dont like pain... even though.. im sure my dad would say I deserve it... if.. if he was still alive................................. if he saw me fight...for Bretonia......... he'd hate me for sure........................
....
..
*sniff* I need to do... do my medicine now Cly..ok? i'll talk to you again later ok? bye byee
Hey.. Cly..... here we are..... back where we should be, I guess it wasnt meant to be, I hope Derby-san doesnt move...hehe.. could be... bad for us..............
I made shi-neesama and Leo-niisama angry again... it was because... beacuse of that Indigo... that reaver ship.. he wanted our blood Cly... hes so scary.. and he doesnt stop, after I found out that the BPA had accepted me I was so happy.. but...to join them I... I had to make you take your guns off... everyone decided to come with me to New London to collect my Uniform, Liscence and Badge... and at that moment... he came again... and he nearly killed Shi-neesama.... again Cly.. we had to watch... we had to watch sombody try and take another loved one away from us.... I knew you didnt want to let that happen so we tried our best, but our best... isnt enough somtimes... even against all 4 of us he didnt flintch... he didnt make a mistake... im scared Cly... what if the others come... i know there are more of them, what if they are even worse than Indigo..... we wont be able to do anything again..... *sniff* will we have to go through it all again Cly? ... i dont wa..want to watch it anymore...... and i promise you Cly... i wont take your arms away ever again... ive got our guns back... if anyone tries to hurt us we will punch them as hard as we can...right?
...I turned the radio off.... so that I dont hear Leo's angry voice on the radio.... the shadows underhere are really peacefull arent they? .... just like old times.... alone.... well just the 2 of us........ Leo went back to Gran Carinara... and Shi-nee went after him.... i dont know where Ali-nee went........ and here we are........... *sniff* maybe we are the only family we will ever have Cly... just me and you..... *sniff* its for the best right?
.............

ne...Cly... If the police find out how old I really am.... they wont let us fly together anymore... im scared you will get taken away..... and... they might even try to take me too... take me to.... to an orphanage...... I'd die Cly... I really would this time... you werent born yet... but before i was rescued.. i was a GC... do you know them?... no i suppose not... but they are pirates... and i was picked up by them.... for 2 years Cly... they would pick on me... called me a shippaisha-chan because im so weak..... I dont want to go away from tousama and okasama Cly...... if they come.....if the police come...... will you help me Cly?... i untied your arms remember..... if ... if it ever comes to that.... will you be on my side?...... I know Hargreaves-san has been sending you things too..... you seem to get smarter everyday.... im glad... you are my best friend.... and you deserve the very best.. Cly........
ne..... I have somthing else to say too... somthing wonderful.... happened yesterday... you remember Shizuma-san dont you... I think you do.. well..... she let me... she let me call her... mother....... I know shes not.. my real mother... but... the way I feel.. the way she makes me feel so safe... i feel invincible in her arms Cly.... like nothing bad could ever get me again........
I'm not....... Insulting my real mother... am I?... she died a long time ago, I will never forget her... I still love her very very much......but.... if i think about her... i just see her die.... i dont want to watch her die again over and over... the image still clear in my mind even 6 years on....... am .....am I allowed to move on now.. Cly?..... do you think im allowed to have a new mother.... Leo asked why I call him "big brother" if shizuma is my "mother".... I didnt know... I guess I was too embarassed to call him... to call him "tousama"... and then he said it Cly.. he said it would make him very happy if I did......... to call him "father" instead.... I was so happy Cly.. i didnt know what to ..say..... I'm finally part of a real family again, just like Shi-kasama... when im with Leo... when i listen to his heart beat, if he hugs me...if he stokes my hair and tells me "its ok"... I feel.... like I am unreachable Cly.... like nothing can ever happen to me when im with him.... and.... I'm sure unlike my real father.... Leo seemed to be proud of me for joining the Bretonia Police.... Leo wont hate me for being..... over the otherside of the fence will he Cly? I mean... I mean it wasnt my choice to come to this place.....
but im glad.... somewhere deep down in my heart... im glad....... to have a new family again Cly....... we arent alone any more...... we dont need to be alone anymore.... we have a new mom and dad now... and ...and they love us very much I think...

I couldnt believe it either at first... but its true... we didnt go into any of those shops.. mommy said that they are too stuck up and she'd rather stab them all.... I was a little worried so we went to a bigger and more friendly shop.. and I nearly got lost again... but i didnt! i didnt get lost.. hyaha..

she had a new ship too... it looked ..Kusarian, but.. but im just so glad she alright, im so glad, I wanted to hug her Cly.. and not let go.. The last I remember seeing her, she was holding me in her arms with tears in her eyes shouting... Just before the Reaper came again, she was calling me away from him, and I was following her voice, running as fast as I could, then she stopped calling, and everything went...dark.... then i felt his cold hands on my heart, finger by finger they touched my soul, wrapping.. coiling round me... then I heard Shi-kasama and the reaper stopped, mommy was calling me... so I ran again, the reaper right behind me every step of the way Cly.. I dared not turn around... Im not strong enough to face him.. alone in the darkness, then the reaper began to slow down getting further and further behind me, I ran faster and faster, as fast as i could Cly.. as fast as I could.. and when I got away from him, i openend my eyes but.. everything was white... everything.. I was in heaven.. im sure of it... but.. you...*sniff* you werent there with me.. Cly... what will happen to you... when I am gone... im sure it will be someday soon.... i mean... im nearly 15... and they said i wouldnt live till I was 10.. so.. that must mean ive not got long really... its already past time.. and im happy to have met you and everyone, but im scared of the clock I have over my head....
