Background: Natsuki was the only-child born to Ichinose Maki and Ichinose Jyuuzou, president of Ichinose Electronics Inc, a major electronics company based jointly in Osaka and Tokyo. Natsuki lived in Osaka during her childhood, growing up in the family estate where she was tended by her personal maid, Yuma. Also living with the family was the estate's butler and chef, along with the security team consisting of one man on duty at a time accompanied by a doberman dog. The team took on rotating shifts, and there were about 6 of the dogs tended by the family. Natsuki especially liked the puppies when she was little, and even though Dobermans were considered vicious while on duty, Natsuki found them to be her best friends when she was a child growing up. Her early schooling was done at home by hired tutors when she was 5 years old until she was 6 and could enter elementary school. Natsuki seemed to absorb whatever the tutors could teach her like a sponge, storing the information for when she might need it later in her life. She wasn't considered a genius, but with her above average intelligence and her drive to work harder, Natsuki made it into a little private school in Osaka. She had a learning experience there, although her social side suffered a little not because of her parents pushing her but her own near obscession with learning. She generally didn't make new friends at school because of the way her strong opinions rubbed off on the other kids when she had a chance to criticize them. Her only close friends at the time were two girls, Tsukumo Marina and Yajima Kyoko, that lived nearby the family estate who were brave enough to invite Natsuki over and also friendly enough to avoid any lashings from her. Natsuki's father was a laid back person but also a hard working family man. He would spend the mornings at work in the main office of Ichinose Inc. based in Osaka, then have time afterwards to spend time with his family. He tended to take a relaxed stance when dealing with Natsuki and the way she acted, just brushing it off that she'll either grow out of it or at least go away some. He was a big sports fan, especially when it came to pro wrestling. Watching it on TV became a family thing once he convinced Maki, his wife, to watch it with him and Natsuki. He often bought tickets for the family and anyone else who wanted to go in the estate including Tsukumo and Yajima for sports events such as the Osaka Buffaloes baseball or when AJPW and joshi wrestling federations came to town. Her mother was a normal housewife who accepted what Natsuki chose for herself, disliking to push her daughter towards any direction that she didn't want to go. She would approve or disapprove of activites that Natsuki chose, but generally let her choose what she did and what school she wanted to go to. Natsuki picked up on the wrestling when she was young, often getting the younger security guards to let her 'practice' some moves on them when they were off duty but still at the estate. Her parents didn't mind this in any way, since it did provide for some conversation material which would hopefully provide her with an outlet for her with making new friends. As Natsuki was moving into 4th grade, Ichinose Inc. moved its main office to Tokyo and the family had to move out to where the office went since her father was required to be present in the main branch of the company. They lived in an apartment for a short while as a second family estate was built outside of Odiba where they would continue to live. During this time, Natsuki made some new friends in the apartment complex, named Shijou Kanako and Nanase Sakura. The two girls didn't know Natsuki was the daughter of the president of Ichinose Inc, and even after they found out, the friendship didn't change, continuing to visit each other but they did enjoy playing at Natsuki's new mansion. The family moved in along with the helpers and the dogs who continued to provide their support for Natsuki and her family. Natsuki's mother was looking into sending her to a private school in Odaiba, but Natsuki refused, saying she wanted to go to school with her new friends at Odaiba Elementary. So her new life in Odaiba elementary grade 4 started this day. Natsuki was awed at by her new classmates for being the daughter of the famous company's president and also for her Osaka-ben dialect. Natsuki fared fairly well with her new classmates until some of them did start to outcast her because she was the 'rich girl' and could get anything she wanted to, also telling her she wouldn't like the 'plain' things the 'normal' kids did. Natsuki didn't really care for them and those who did try and outcast her, she pretty much shut out of her life entirely. She made a point to the other students that they will be pretty much treated the same way they treat her, so to be careful what they do. Some did get the message and tried to make friends with Natsuki, where then Natsuki reciprocated the act and the friendships were quickly made mutual. The mutualness of those didn't last long as Natsuki quickly grew critical of her 'friends', starting to criticize their faults quickly losing them as she made them. Within her circle of friends, Natsuki got her nickname of 'Kansai' around this time coming from the fact that she was from that geographical area, and also her favorite wrestler. The now retired Joshi puro star, Dynamite Kansai. Natsuki actually managed to make conversation with her wrestling knowlege, as she also pulled in other kids to make fans out of them. She would go on to get to know these new kids, but the cycle would start again with the criticisms, and losing them. Natsuki found it pretty easy to adjust to life in Tokyo. The city wasn't that much diffrent from Osaka, except she did miss the food and humor in the people there. She explored part of Tokyo on her own, and she also enlisted the help of Shijou and Nanase to go visit the diffrent districts of Tokyo. Some of them like Shibuya and Akihabara overwhelmed her, but she did enjoy areas such as the amusement park in Odaiba with the big ferris wheel, and other quiet areas such as Nerima and the Harbor destrict. Natsuki would sometimes miss her old friends from Osaka and those times she would make plans to spend vacation time going to Osaka via Shinkansen once her parents thought she was old enough to let her go visit the city she originally grew up in so she wouldn't forget any of her friends nor the place she lived in for the first half of her life. Arrangements were made to stay at her friends' houses and also the houses of family friends, especially from her father's company. These were nice breaks she got to go on from the fairly stressful new life in Tokyo. Natsuki found Osaka more laid back in general and she was able to relax more in the familiar atmosphre of her hometown. Natsuki usually stays away from 'trendy' things, trying to set her own standards for fashion and popular phrases. This doesn't mean she doesn't like people who try to be trendy, but she tends to avoid using them just to fit in with the crowd. Her favorite activities are going to sports events in the Tokyo Dome. She would invite her closest friends to come along, paying for parts of their tickets if they couldn't afford going. They have seen games ranging from Pro baseball to even the NFL preseason games that occasionally come to Japan. She also likes to play video games, although she isn't the best at them and also use the computer, where she keeps contact with her friends in Osaka via e-mail and chat, and to also play games on PC. Natsuki's life was quite normal as she moved into Odaiba jr High in 2002. She was offered a place in a private school in Tokyo, but again, Natsuki refused in lieu of going to Odaiba jr High with her classmates from Odaiba Elementary who have also entered there. Natsuki seemed to change as the months went by, she was equally as talkative and opinionated, but her comments towards the other students have toned down, starting to accept more of her peers as friends in the recent months. She kept up her high grades in school with effort towards schoolwork. She started to make some new friends in Jr High, with one in particular being Shawna Roundtree. She pretty much forced the friendship upon her, but all came out for the better as the two started to get close as they did average girls stuff, like shopping, movies, sleepovers with Natsuki's other friends. Natsuki, like her other friends, pulled Shawna into her hobbies, especially going to watch pro wrestling. Her father was pretty into it and brought the girls along to the Tokyo Dome and Kourakuen Hall shows every time a federation would have a card there. Natsuki's high school education centered on business as she knew she would be inheriting her father's company at one point in the future, and wanted to be prepared for it. As her graduation was approaching the news about Shawna moving back to the US caused some depression, but being down herself was something she couldn't afford as she was approached with the decision of continuing to college or to take up a job while preparing to work for her father's company. During the off time she had, Natsuki went on to recieve formal training with a wrestling school while her father, unhappy with how the WFW and WWC were turning out, was making plans to start up a wrestling federation in the United States as part of an experiment to see how Japanese business practices would work in the US, and continuing his hobby of watching, and now running, Pro wrestling. Natsuki started to make arrangements to actually wrestle in the startup federation, but was surprised to find out that she was being sent to the US as deputy CEO of operations and liason to the Japan offices. She protested to her father about this decision, but with no avail as her father's word was final. Natsuki flew to the states to oversee the restarting of PWS, with a few ideas up her sleeve. Personality: Like the stereotypical rich girl, Natsuki can be very snobbish, selfish and talks down to those who she deems stupid, not worth her time, or those who she can't get along with, but makes a genuine effort to make friends at first. She simply reciprocates how she is treated by a certain person but can make it three times as worse. Natsuki has shown her true feelings of friendship to those close to her, but until it reaches that point, she still needs some work dealing with new people she meets. There also has been times where she has actively ignored people because of her opinions about them. Once Natsuki has advanced to jr High, her talking down and snide remarks to her peers have toned down, not often mentioning the things she has while she was in elementary school. She seems to have a broader heart now, accepting some who she has refused to be with as a possible friend now. She has a curiosity streak and whenever it hits, she will go to her father to try and get it or learn about it to the best of her ability. This applies to objects, thoughts, and places. Objects and places, she would go buy, see, or visit to learn about it. Even if it means renting a shuttle and going to space, which would be a little impossible for her, but the thought is in her head which she fills in by reading books about it. Very opinionated to the point she will debate petty subjects, always trying to win. If she thinks an idea or a person is wrong in a situation, she will start to meticulously pick apart the fault and push her own opinions forward to try and convince the other person that they are wrong. While she can be a loud debater in the presence of people, she is a rather quiet individual when she is alone and needs her time off from the stress inducing world. Natsuki shows unbroken loyalty to those who she accepts and those who accept her as a true friend. In no way will she break promises or let them down. Sometimes this could lead to others taking advantage of her, but her stance on shallow people hasn't let this happen yet. Natsuki also has a high sense of pride in her abilities and knowlege, she won't let anyone go that challenges it.
