Character: Sohma Hatori
Series:
Fruits BasketCharacter Age: 27
Job: Psychotherapist
Canon: Fruits Basket narrates the story of Honda Tohru, and her misadventures while living with the Sohma family. A family that is wealthy and well-known across Japan -- not to mention, occasionally incestuous. But wait, that's not all there is to them! For many generations now, they have been cursed by the vengeful spirits of the Chinese zodiac. And so, whenever thirteen unfortunate members of this lineage are embraced by a member of the opposite sex, they turn into their animal counterparts.
Hatori is the resident physician of the Sohma clan. His true talent, however, lays in his ability to erase people's memory; a skill that comes in very handy whenever the Sohmas find themselves needing to cover up the secrets of the curse. The phrase "cold as snow" has been used to describe Hatori many times before; and though he may act serious and distant most of the time, deep down he is someone very considerate, gentle, and caring -- sometimes to the point of selflessness. Hatori has a very special, ironic, and subtle sense of humour, and he often teases people by making deadpan remarks, or in Shigure's very special case, by deliberately missing when he gives him shots.
Hatori is cursed by the dragon of the zodiac, but due to special circumstances, he turns into a seahorse instead. That's right, folks! One of the only two species in the whole animal kingdom capable of MPREG!
Sample Post:
While it is always appreciated to receive a warm welcome upon one's arrival (especially in the middle of the winter), I do believe you may be taking the definition of 'warm' one step too far. Have you ever considered changing the diet of those firebreathing ducklings to something perhaps... less flammable?
But more to the point, my name is Sohma Hatori, and I have been designated as Camp Psychotherapist. Fundamentally, my job consists of improving people's mental health by aiding them in dealing with difficult memories. I would also like to clarify that even though my area of expertise is biological medicine, I am quite... experienced -for lack of a better word- with psychotherapy itself. So as long as everyone is willing to cooperate during our sessions, this should not be a cause for concern.
I have been reviewing the serious pol-- ... the files I received upon my arrival, and it has come to my attention that a number of you may be suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, due to the nature of this place. From what I gather, a number of you have been exposed to things such as: childhood trauma, sexual abuse, natural catastrophes, violent attacks, near-death experiences, and... cannibalism (even though the baby was okay), among others. This is something that I cannot help but find worrisome, given that I will most likely have to tend to the majority of you at some point. So in order for me to make better and more personalized diagnoses, we shall have a brief session now.
First, we will start with talk therapy. I would like for you to tell each other about your camp experiences. For example, if your first encounter with the undead involved unnecessary gnawing, like mine, or the number of camp infections you have contracted during your stay. This will allow you to find other people who have been in similar circumstances, and get together in groups to discuss them. Venting should help you relax, and start working on getting over any traumatic episodes you may have suffered.
I will be walking around, listening to your conversations, and if there's anything you would like to share directly with me, just-- ...oh? Pardon me?
...
Well, if that's how you want to begin. Please, show me on the anatomically correct doll where the lake monster touched you. And for the last time, Madam. No. I am definitely not interested in carrying your baby tentacle monster, no matter how 'traditional' you may claim it is.
