Character: Kohaku
Series:
WishCharacter Age: At least over a hundred years, looks around 16~17.
Canon: One day a surgeon named Shuichiro saves an angel that is being attacked by crows in a tree. The angel Kohaku, being very grateful, tells him that he will get one wish, any he wants, and the angel will fulfil it. The problem? The man says he doesn’t have any wish at all, so the angel decides to stay with him until he can come up with one. Aah~ the typical Magical Girlfriend plot setup… just without the girl part and it’s done by CLAMP. This means there is loss of an eye, more foreshadowing than you can shake a stick at, unexpected endings and keywords like WISHES and PROMISES<3? Mostly though Wish consists socute.
Being an angel, Kohaku is extremely naïve and trusting of people and has a heart of gold. Kohaku always tries really hard to help people, especially if they’ve done something nice, even though helping usually equals “making the situation worse”. Like all other angels, Kohaku gets along very well with trees, animals and motorbikes and can talk with them and understand their feelings. Kohaku is supposed to try to blend in with humans, but usually fails spectacularly by floating in the air at all times and not understanding basic human things like porno mags or keys. The fact that Kohaku is forcibly turned into a tiny chibi every time the sun sets doesn’t help much either.

Excuse me, could you tell me where I am? I need to get back to the train station and I seem to have gotten lost. I’m sure I was just supposed to fly second to the right, and straight on till… Hm? Y-you don’t look too healthy, if you are feeling ill, you should take a rest! Or maybe I can help you? I’m sure there is something that I could do! Oh, I know, I learned that healing summoning before -- that could probably help you! Eh? Why are you looking so worried? I promise you, I’m pretty good at curing spells! Oh healing winds, blow your powers into this arm!
Waaaah! I-I’m really sorry about that! I promise I have no ideas why it just fell off like that, that spell usually works! Honestly! I… I’m useless even at fixing simple things like this… So if there’s anything else that you want just tell me! I understand if you blame me! Maybe you need some kind of medicine, like they have at hospitals… Is there anything I can find? Brains? I… I really don’t think that’s for eating, Mister... Oh! Look at the clock! If I should be able to help you I’d need to do it before the sun sets, because it’ll be hard for me to help you when I’m tiny.
Ah, I know! Let’s ask one of the residents, they would know more than me. Perhaps some of the trees would be able to tell what to do! They seem to be pretty loud in this place; though I’m sure they are all very nice. You should try to talk to them sometimes, they would be really happy you know! Like this one over here, isn’t it pretty? It even has cotton-silk flowers growing out from its branches. Hmm? I’m sure I saw flowers like these while doing the laundry before… But what would people on Earth do with that? Wouldn’t the tree be happier with it?
Oh yes, I needed to ask your help, Mrs. Tree! I was wondering what was wrong with this person and thought you might know. It would be very sweet of you if you could tell me since I’m in a hurry. Huh? No one can leave here? But that’s… You say that I could sleep here in your branches? But what would I be able to do in return for you? And in just a few minutes I’ll become very tiny and I’m sure you wouldn’t have any use for that at all…
Eh? “A chibi is fine, too”?
