Villager: Houjou Satoko
Theme: WILDCARD - Sister
Other: It has been MONTHS since anyone wrote something here. The story is told from Shion's POV, but it's about Satoko. Spoilers if you don't know the truth about the twins.

She was ridiculously cute. She had the spunky personality you saw in anime. She loved her older brother and would do anything for him. Including, Shion realizes, endure abuse at the hands of an uncle she wasn't even related to. She was relieved that Houjou Teppei had been arrested. If he hadn't, there was no telling what Shion would have done to him. If she had killed him and gone to jail, there would have been no one to protect Satoko. Well, Satoko would have had Mion and the others, but Satoshi had entrusted her with Satoko.

Besides, Satoko needed an older sister figure like Shion. Keiichi often let her get away with setting traps because she was small and cute. But Satoko herself said that she'd be 13 soon. She was an early bloomer. She wouldn't be able to use her age as an excuse for much longer. Shion's taken it upon herself to ensure that Satoko grows into a proper young lady. And really, who could do it better?

Satoko tries to speak formally, but does it incorrectly. She's a fiesty tomboy. Shion knows that she's got a lot of work ahead of her, but she's a tough girl. She can handle it. A few trips to the stores in Okinomiya, a few bonding sleepovers, and Satoko will be a lady before she knows it.

Sometimes she gets frustrated though. Satoko respected Shion, but that didn't stop her from setting traps for her. And whenever Shion got angry with her, Satoko started crying. Sometimes she gets so frustrated, she wonders if it's really worth doing this for Satoshi.

When Satoko comes up to her and calls her "Nee-Nee", Shion realizes that it is.
