Is the Character in a Gang/Law Enforcement Agency/ Citizen:
Citizen
State your Industry and Occupation:
Sex industry, ‘Call girl’
Personality:
Miwa is a quiet, sensitive person. She thinks about others often, trying constantly to better their lives. However, she often does this at the expense of herself, be it physically or mentally. For example, she left her family in Japan to allow herself to become a sex worker in order for them to have received money. Despite this, she is strong willed and a hard worker.
She knows how to play games in order to survive, having had to deal with being beaten by pimps or customers in her early days in the trade. She is also very insightful, and able to see or sense people’s motives. She is able to see how things are connected, and applies it to her solutions. However, she is also very sensitive, and considered to be a ‘bleeding heart’ type of person. She is willing to give the shirt off of her back to another one of ‘her girls’ in need, because they are all in this shitty world together. This is especially true for children, as she hopes that none of them ever have to be subject of her type of life. Unfortunately, this sometimes clashes with her sense of survival and causes stress on herself. However, just because she is sensitive, because of her life, she has become numb to her own emotions. She often ignores them or avoids relationships with others, afraid of getting close to them because of the betrayals from her past.

Background History:
Miwa was born in Fukuoka Japan, the second youngest child in a family of six. Her mother had originally been going to school for nursing when she met Miwa’s father, whom owned a bar in the city. They fell in love, and eventually her mother got pregnant. She dropped out of school, and had Miwa and her siblings. However, when Miwa was four, her father had left their family one day without a word. Her mother and older siblings were dumbfounded, it was only until later was Miwa informed that her father’s bar had been floundering and he had been using what was left of the family funds to pay for prostitutes and alcohol. This left Miwa’s mother forced to get a job as a part-time kitchen hand. They struggled deeply, and were even stuck on the streets once or twice.
Miwa’s oldest sibling, her brother, dropped out of school when he was fifteen and also got a job. Eventually fifteen became a magic number, each of the children either leaving home or finding employment at that age. However, none of them ended up having the same fate as Miwa. Miwa, considered a pretty girl even at the tender age of fourteen, caught the interest of some people that her brother knew. They told her brother that they were ‘recruiters’ for an okiya and that they were willing to pay their family money for Miwa to be allowed to go off and train as a geisha. In a tight spot, and hoping for the best, they allowed it and let Miwa leave with them.
The first few weeks weren’t bad. Miwa was put up in a decent hotel room shared with three other girls from poor families. There they stayed, being brought food and such while they waited to be taken off somewhere else. However, eventually came the news that they weren’t going anywhere, and that they were costing money. They began to be ‘trained’ as sex workers. Miwa, being only fourteen, was the youngest in the group and while she didn’t have actual sex with anybody she was ‘taught’ how to please people, as well as forced to do other acts until her captors deemed she was ‘old enough’ so that THEY wouldn’t feel morally corrupt.
After a month in the hotel room, they moved the Kabukicho district in Tokyo where her and the other girls stayed in a two room apartment. When Miwa was fifteen, she got a job at a ‘snack bar’ where she was told to say that she was nineteen. She then stayed there for a while until she was ‘old enough’. Her virginity was sold to the highest bidder when she was only sixteen years old.
These acts continued for a while until she was eighteen years old. Miwa had been starved, beaten, and raped more times than she could count. However, over the years she learned how to cope, how to become stronger. Finally, she met a man whom she found to be kind, who ‘bought out’ her pimp, and told Miwa that he was helping her and that he was taking her to America.
This, however, was not the case.
Upon her arrival in Hawaii, she was told to go by a new name, “Luna”, because “Americans don’t like exotic names.” Much of her life was the same, only now she was on the streets. The man was just as bad as the others, sometimes even worse. He would emotionally manipulate her and use her for his gain. However, after about a year of earning her boss’ trust, she began to work her way up. Some even considered her ‘successful’. However, Miwa knew that this was not her reality. Her only reality now is survival.
