Background:
Hayato Ichiyagi is the son of Fusako Ichiyagi and Daiki Sugasaki. He was born with love and care. He grew up in a Wizarding household, and both his parents are from pureblood families. The marriage started beautifully— with some objections— but it decayed quickly. The Ichiyagi clan is a prominent pureblood clan in Japanese wizarding society. Their history can be traced back to the Sengoku Period. The long line of the ability to foresee the future had turned the tables in the turmoil and maintained the family influence into modern times. Following the Peerage Act (Kazoku-rei 華族令), the Ichiyagi family was ennobled with the title of Viscount. The Sugasaki clan, on the other hand, was the Ichiyagi family’s retainer clan.

In 2014, Hayato was born in Ehime, a beautiful place surrounded by the ocean and mountains. The first five years in Hayato’s life were eventless. The Ichiyagi family provided them with a comfortable environment. They lived in a traditional mansion near the shrine operated by Fusako. Daiki was busy with his business in Osaka. From time to time, he would come to Ehime visit his wife and son. Fusako’s two elder siblings and their families lived near them. Sometimes Fusako was busy at work, her sister-in-law would help her take care of Hayato. When he was a kid, he loved meeting his cousins. The Ichiyagi Clan values family greatly, so they prefer to educate their descendants on their own before they go to Mahoutokoro. Hayato learnt English and how to play the violin from several private tutors. At the same time, he was exposed to equestrian and Japanese Archery (Kyudo). Although he doesn’t remember much from that time, he still treasures it.

In the Ichiyagi clan’s former territorial extent, they own a shrine managed by Fusako. She is a gifted Herbologist who knows all the herbs and plants in that area. Daiki is an entrepreneur. He started his own company, selling magic-related material and potions. Soon, after he gained enough money, he wanted more, more than being an appendant to Fusako, a perfect heiress. In a business trip to Kyoto, he met a geisha. They fell in love quickly. A year later, Fusako and the geisha gave birth to their children, which were Hayato and Hizuki.

At his five-year-old birthday party, everything changed. Fusako brought a boy his age to their house. His name is Hizuki Sugasaki. The boy looked like him, also like his father. Fusako soon divorced Daiki, yet she took the boy into their house. At first, it was awkward between Hayato and Hizuki. Hizuki was quiet and timid, and Hayato, on the other hand, was really outgoing and confident. He quickly knew that Hizuki was his half-brother. He didn’t ask further questions because he knew how he should perform.

After their divorce, Fusako acted the same as before with the two boys, didn’t show her preference, and being a great mother to both of them. As time went on, Daiki cut all his connections with the Ichiyagi Clan and built his own company in Osaka. He rarely saw or visited Hayato and Hizuki. Yet Hayato wanted to meet his father; one time, he ran away with Hizuki, trying to go to Osaka by themselves. The plan didn’t work out because the townspeople recognized them easily and sent them back to their house. Fusako knew she couldn’t keep them apart, so she asked Daiki to visit the boys regularly. Afterward, Daiki would take Hayato and Hizuki to Osaka for a week every month. Their father spoiled them with new toys and trips to all the theme parks.

When Hayato reached the age of seven, he and Hizuki both received the notice from Mahoutokoro. They went there and studied together. Besides studying, Hayato enjoys surfing and playing drums, as well as the obligatory archery and foreign languages studies. Though practicing violin to him is an obligation, the pure pleasure when he plays music is real. He gradually realized the burden of being an heir in a well-known pureblood family in Japan. He needs to attend traditional rituals and ceremonies at the shrine and go to Tokyo and Kyoto for the events held by former Kazokus. Having more awareness of how power and money worked in society, he put his childish and soft-hearted nature aside, starting to wear a social mask whenever he interacted with others.

Appearance:
As Fusako and Daiki’s son, Hayato inherited both of their delicate features. The beautiful black round eyes and lips that always smiled are from his mother. His eyes are so pure and innocent that if someone looks into them too closely, they will be drawn into them. As for the features from Daiki, a straight, chiseled nose and strong yet lean frame, the resemblance can be recognized by anyone who has met Daiki. The features on his face are big and expressive, perfectly sculpted. His appearance is an amazing mix of his parents.

His fluffy black hair shines under the sunlight. Hayato usually styles his hair into a casual look; this is his rare free interpretation of his looks. His skin is tanned because of his love of outdoor activities, which he always enjoys.

First Instance of Magic:
The day Hayato and Suzuki ran out at the age of six, trying to go to Osaka on their own, he showed her magic talent for the first time. After they’d been brought back to the Ichiyagi estate, Hayato was extremely upset. Hizuki stayed on his side, wanting to console him, but it didn’t work out. Fusako noticed his emotion and called them to the drawing room, asked the servant to prepare tea and Hayato’s favorite wagashi (Japanese sweets) for them. Hayato sat on the zabuton (seat cushion) quietly, not quite like himself. Hizuki sipped tea at the side. When Fusako opened her mouth, ready to say something. Suddenly, the teapot started emitting smoke and trembling. It seemed to be spoiling by itself. Eventually, the teapot exploded. Fusako pulled two of them aside to keep them safe. Hayato’s gaze was still fixed on the fragment of the teapot, face red, as he got pulled away. At that moment, Fusako realized his silent anger cast the magic power on the teapot.

Special Race (if applicable): Seer
The long line of seers in the Ichiyagi clan can be traced back to the Sengoku Period. The ancestors of the Ichiyagi family were vassals of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. They have several Seers in the long course of clan history. The clan served as a military strategist for the influential families that sought their help. They honed their abilities of prophecy and vision, and also studied maritime affairs as their territory was near the Seto Inland Sea, a significant trading location. Even when the generation didn’t have any Seers, they could still use their knowledge to plan and strategize for those families and regional factions. Century after century, they had become one of the important pureblood families in Japan, expanding their power as far as East Asia.

Ever since Hayato was little, he had been taught what a Seer would feel and sense. The last Seer of the Ichiyagi clan was his uncle, Fuga Ichiyagi; his talent was discovered at an early age. He has outstanding intuition, just like his uncle. At first, Hayato couldn’t tell if the haunting feelings were his intuition or a coincidence. He somehow dodged a fairly large number of dangerous situations in his life by his frighteningly accurate intuition. Yet he was still doubting whether those were only him being lucky or not.

Until the day he turned five, Hayato dreamt of another boy who looked like him. His father held the boy’s hand and gave him to his mother. A Geisha-looking woman stood on the far side, seemingly crying. She was so beautiful that Hayato couldn’t forget her face. The droplets of tears streamed down her white-painted face, turning into pearls of white. The dream was too vivid, but he forgotten most of it, and only remembered the face of the Geisha-looking woman. On that day, the Ichiyagi family was busy preparing his birthday feast; they needed to entertain approximately several dozen people. Hayato had a bad feeling as soon as he woke up. The birthday feast hadn’t even started, Fusako came home with a pale boy, Hayato knew his name afterward, Hizuki. Hizuki looked extremely similar to Hayato, but with a completely different demeanor. The elders in the Ichiyagi family seemed outraged as Hizuki showed up at the house. Fusako was busy discussing the matter of the boy. The birthday feast was canceled. Hayato and Hizuki were left alone together. Hayato suddenly thought of the dream as he looked into Hizuki’s eyes. The geisha woman had the same eyes as the boy. Hayato understood something vaguely.

He didn’t realize he might be a Seer after this incident. It was when he had another dream that he finally noticed the possibility. He consulted with his mother first. Fusako knew he had the Seer ability as Hayato described the dreams he had. Then Fusako sent him to Fuga’s place. His uncle explained the importance of being a Seer in the Ichiyagi clan for him and taught him how the ability works. At that moment, he knew he was a Seer. But he wasn’t sure how to carry this weight of responsibility on his shoulders.

Mental Description:
Hayato looks warm and gentle at first glance, yet if someone gets too close to him would know that he is warmthless sunshine. It’s easy to approach him, but it’s hard to earn trust from him. He wears his social mask all the time; only when he is with his family and friends does he show his true self. His heart is very soft when he faces his loved ones. To them, he is a symbol of loyalty and sweetness. Another occasion people can see his true self is when he plays music or surfs. At those moments, he looks like a wild eagle; he doesn’t hide his passion and love.

Due to his family’s wealth and social status, Hayato is a bit arrogant and naïve at the same time. He won’t be intimidated by his peers, even when meeting the seniors. Trusting his ability, which comes from years of hard practice, he has enormous confidence in himself when competing with others. In his mind, the world is a giant playground. Though it is not the same case when the object changes to his family and friends. He constantly doubts the stability of his relationships with them. His father's leaving scared him from a young age; he believes it was his fault that his parents divorced.
