Umi, while still nervous, manages a weak smile when she is hugged. After concentrateing for awhile, more memories shifted into place and she replies.
"Her name is Hikaru. She, Fuu, and I have been through alot together. We used to be normal girls, and we had never met each other before one day a couple of years ago. We were all the same age and in the same grade, though we went to different schools. Somehow... all three of our schools had scheduled field trips to Tokyo Tower on the same day. And that is where we met for the first time."
Umi pauses, obviously caught up in thought... after awhile she continues.
"Then there was a bright flash of light... and all three of us were pulled out of our world and into another. In this new land Cephiro, we learned that we had been brought here to become the legendary Magic Knights and to save the land from dieing."
She sighs, and looks sad for a moment... obviously all of her memeories of that place were not happy ones. She glanced at her glove, which was gold trimmed and had a blue gem set into the back of it. Besides this odd piece of clothing, she looked like a normal sixteen year old schoolgirl dressed in a blue seifuku.
"In our time there, we became the best of friends. We fought and bled together, and we wouldnt have thought twice about putting our lives on the line for eachother. I had friends before then... but Fuu and Hikaru became closer to me than any of them had ever been. Anyway... that is why I am so worried. Fuu is hurt... and no one has even seen Hikaru..."
She looks down for a moment, face unreadable, before looking up at the trio and giving them another weak smile.
"In any case... being hurled into new lands unexpectedly is something I have had experience with. And at least here I wont be fighting monsters on a daily basis... if what Amy-San says is true."
OOC: Whoo! Huzzah for character biographies! And I managed to finish all of Magic knight Rayearth season one and some of season two... so at least I know what I am talking about.
I also aged Umi from 14 to 16. She was 14 when this series started... and I figured that /some/ time had to pass during everything that went down in the two seasons. Besides... a couple of years would give her time to fill out a bit.
Did I just day that?

Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil...prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...
