Scan Ohana
Autumn action by Kurihara Akane
Photoshop CS5

For this challenge I chose Ohana from Hanasaku Iroha. She has many ideals, and also a strong sense of justice to support them, which often clash with the ideals of the people working at the inn, especially her own grandmother. She has a great desire to help others, but most of her efforts are not appreciated as she does acts on her own. Later on though, others are able to see how true her heart is. As a result of her mother's poor parenting, she made herself became independent at a young age and grew up with the mentality of relying on herself only. She can do housework by herself and also cook well because of this. Since she started working at Kissuisō, she has realized that she must now rely on others also to get through life's difficulties. Thus, she becomes more stronger in the series. She has a lot of zeal and enthusiasm and she's quite cheerful as well. The goal of her life is that she wants to shine.

Expert form hanasaku iroha wikia, lol!
