2. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Sharon is a petite lady, standing at only 4′11′’ or 152 cm. She is very much self-conscious about her height and will often try and look for ways to make herself taller.
While her short frame may cause her to come across as childish, her figure is very curvy with most of the weight going to her chest, hips and thighs area. However, she also has a bit of a pudgy - but very soft - tummy. (Side note: She absolutely hates it when people squeeze her stomach and will SCREAM when someone does it.)
Her most notable feature has to be her long, strawberry blonde hair. While not bright pink or fuschia, it has a distinct pink tint to it, matching with her overall pink and red aesthetic. In length, her locks rival those of Rapunzel and while this means a lot of extra time spent in the bathroom every morning, Sharon has not be able to bring herself to cut her hair.
While we are on the topic of hair, you will also never see Sharon without her trademark strawberry-shaped hairclip. Aside from being a reference to her favorite food, it also holds a lot of sentimental value as is it one of the few mementos of her parents which she has left.
Sharon’s face is round with squeezable cheeks and soft features. Her nose is on the smaller side, but she has large, brown eyes which can make for a powerful weaon at times. She may not be physically strong, but do not underestimate the puppy eyes.
Her fashion style is very feminine and features a lot of soft, pastel tones. She likes various shades of pink and red, but will occasionally switch it up with a light blue or purple. She prefers to wear skirts and dresses over pants and likes to pair them with a cute cardigan. At home, she will occasionally wear an oversized hoodie to simply lounge around in.
3. PERSONALITY
You could say that her personality matches her physical appearance in the sense that it could be summed up in one word ーー soft.
On a surface level, Sharon is a kind and compassionate girl who is always there to lend others a helping hand when they need it. She is patient and soft-spoken and perhaps a little too forgiving, strongly convinced that everybody deserves a second chance.
However, her personality is very much the result of her past trauma. Sharon struggles with a lot of self-esteem and self-image issues, which subconsciously pushed her to sacrifice her own needs and well-being for the sake of others. If she is not being of use to others, she struggles to find worth in her existence. While this may come across as noble, it is also extremely dangerous as it makes it very easy for those with bad intentions to manipulate her and bend her to their will.
Once she learns to accept herself more, you will discover a new side of her. She can be surprisingly stubborn and perhaps even a little cheeky when she wants to. If in a relationship, it it not uncommon for her to display somewhat jealous behavior towards those who show (romantic) interest in her partner. While she would never grow violent as a result, she will become very pouty and grumpy.
Last but not least, it has to be said that she is not the brightest bulb of the batch. This reflects in her grades, but also in terms of ‘life knowledge’, Sharon will often make somewhat questioning decisions or come to weird conclusions. While some may say it’s part of her charm, you have to be ready for these ‘big dumb’ moments.
4. BACKSTORY
Sharon is the only daughter of Takeshita Ayumu (武下亜勇夢) and Tanaka Sachiko (田中幸子), born as Takeshita Nozomi (武下望未).
Her name is a combination of the words for ‘hope’ and ‘future’, because her birth symbolizes the message her parents spent their whole life trying to show to the whole world. Unfortunately, their lives were cut short when they died in a car accident, but they always believed that their daughter would carry on their legacy.
The relationship between her parents was ‘forbidden’ and shunned by their families on both sides. After all, her father was eldest son of the Takeshita family, Japan’s most famous family of Vampire Hunters and her mother was of Vampire blood. By falling in love with her, Ayumu went against everything his family had ever taught him. However, he never felt at home in that family in the first place since he did not share their philosophy that all Vampires (or demons in general) are heartless monsters. While Sachiko was skeptical about his true intentions at first and feared he was only trying to get close to her to eventually take her life, it was those genuine feelings of him which ultimately won her over.
The two of them cut ties with their respective families to be happy together and the result of their unusual love was their pride and joy. Their literal ‘hope for the future’ ーー Nozomi.
What could have been a happy family abruptly came to an end on one stormy night. Ayumu and Sachiko left the house by car after Sharon begged the two of them to go buy her favorite snacks because she ran out. Unfortunately, they did not make it back alive. Sharon continues to blame her own selfishenss for her death, which eventually became the trigger for her to start leading a self-sacrificing life in hopes of atoning for killing the people she loved most on this earth.
Sharon was then brought to an orphanage and was given the new name ‘Sharon’. It was at this orphanage where she spent most of her childhood. Unfortunately, she was never chosen, delivering a huge blow to her already low self-esteem. Eventually, she gave up on being adopted and instead took on a semi-caretaker role, helping out the other caretakers to look after the youngest children.
By a cruel tiwst of fate, it was the orphanage which had become her new home which eventually betrayed her. The orphanage had strong ties to the local Church, the very same Church which had made a contract with Karlheinz to regularly send a ‘sacrifical bride’ to his sons and in return, the Vampires would not cause any trouble in the city.
Sharon was chosen as one of those brides and brought to the Sakamaki manor. What she hoped would be a new start, would turn out to be a horrific nightmareーー
!! SPOILERS FOR FUTURE ROUTE CONTENT BELOW !!
It will eventually be revealed that her parents death was not a ‘simple’ accident. They had planned to meet up with Ayumu’s father even before Sharon asked them to go on an errand for her. The store just so happened to be on the way there, so they hoped to kill two birds with one stone.
The young couple hoped his family was finally ready to listen to them, but alas, it was all a trap set up by Ayumu’s younger brother (the father of Sousuke), who assisinated both of them.
5. TRIVIA
~> Sharon was originally created as a MC for the Mystic Messenger fandom. However, her backstory has been almost entirely overhauled to fit the DL universe.
~> While Sharon has some demon/Vampire DNA in her, she does not display any of their traits of abilities yet. It would however allow for a possible ‘awakening’ under the right circumstances. (Or at least a higher rate of succes compared to a regular human)
~> Sharon always carries a bag of her favorite strawberry milk candies with her. She will hand these out to anyone feeling down in hopes of cheering them up.
~> In her canon story, Sharon falls in love with Sakamaki Subaru but I am open to other ships (both with canons and OCs) on this blog!
