I'll be the calm
I will be quiet
theme song;; Thousand Eyes by Of Monsters and Men
personality;;
Hotaru is very little like Maggie, despite their close and long-lasting friendship. Firefly is in fact the other boy's opposites in many ways. Where Maggie is quick to anger Hotaru is slow; where Maggie throws himself recklessly into fights Hotaru prefers to take his opponents apart methodically. Hotaru seems to never be a hurry, despite Maggie's heckling, and he never needs to actually raise his voice; the majority of the gang is unusually frightened of him, and jump to do what he says without hesitation. Hotaru has proven that he has good 'intuition', and the gang trusts his feelings now. Maggie affectionately calls Firefly their little sibyl, which Firefly mostly ignores. He can't really explain it; he simply knows sometimes that going down that alley is absolutely the wrong way, or that they shouldn't target that stranger on the corner just because. He is widely listened to now, and has kept the gang out of a number of sticky situations. It is through this that he earned his place at Maggie's side.
Firefly was mildly perplexed by Vassilios when he first arrived, and by extension Maggie's obsession with him, but he recognized Vas far faster than even Maggie had expected and realized what his friend was trying to do. Maggie will vehemently deny that he has any soft spots to his heart at all; but he's a sucker for someone in trouble, and he's taken Vas quite firmly under his wing. Firefly has been roped into this as well, by merit of being Maggie's closest confidant. He's become closer with Vas as well over the boy's stay with the gang, and has gotten used to having one or the other at his side or back. He's got a way of knowing who is approaching him without seeing them, and can startle the kids sometimes by saying unceremoniously a great secret or great prophecy. Vasillios is mystified by him, and how he knows the things that he does. Hotaru does not have a satisfying answer, and seems not at all curious in figuring out how he does what he does. He has a habit of running his fingers through his hair when he's thinking, or divvying it into great, thick braids. Since joining the gang, Vassilios has learned to braid too.

I lie awake and watch it all
it feels like thousand eyes
occupation;;
lieutenant of a scrappy street gang Maggie's right-hand man/maybe sibyl Hotaru serves to support and bolster Maggie, and has done his job well. He's the only kid capable of really bringing Maggie back to earth; of making the boy forget a dumb idea, of making him calm down when he's been roused to blind anger. They complement each other well, despite their enormous differences. Hotaru has dreams and feelings, and translates this into suspicions in the real world that sometimes keep the gang out of trouble. The kids have learned to listen to him, and no matter how vague his warning is ("turn around if you see water today, Peter") they always obey. They've learned their lesson over witnessing the fates of those who don't. Firefly frequently seems lost in thought, and has a soft, unhurried way about him. |
trivia;;
-he doesn't consider himself psychic, no matter what anyone says -he just has feelings sometimes -and dreams occasionally -and frequently he just knows secret things about folks but none of that means anything -Hotaru doesn't remember where he came from or who his family is -he's actually a witch, he just doesn't know -he's been with Maggie for a couple years now and the gang a bit longer -he's always reluctant to fight, and it is hard to get him angry -he allows Maggie and Vas to braid his hair but no one else gets to touch it -when he uses his magic, he smells vaguely of sunshine and warm grass |
