Born to Hiroshi Nakamura and Akane Kobayashi, Kiyoko grew up spending most of her time in Osaka, only leaving her beloved home to attend school at Mahoutokoro when she became of age. She considered herself "ordinary." Both of her parents graduated from Mahoutokoro, both of them loved each other, treated her with love and care, and though they were demanding in their expectations for her (specifically in academics), they had never once left her side when she needed their support the most. Okay, sure, her family's wealth was also a nice add-on, but that wasn't her main concern.

Growing up, Kiyoko spent most of her time 'nurturing holistic growth,' as her parents liked to call it. That, for the most part, meant academics for her, but before age eleven there really wasn't much to learn. Or perhaps it only felt that way because of how exceedingly fast she learned. Learning fast meant more free time, and more free time meant time to do things she enjoyed. She picked up hobbies like cooking and knitting, and finer arts like embroidery or weaving. She would also have her designated afternoon "tea-time," which was usually with her parents, or her nanny when they weren't home. Kiyoko meticulously practiced tea-pouring, tea ceremonies, and the rich history behind it, which she found to be rather relaxing, as opposed to boring and dull, which is what she had initially anticipated.

When she turned eleven, she was finally old enough to attend Mahoutokoro formally, which is where a new era of her life began - one away from the comfort of her home, plunged into a vast and exciting new world that she brought her never-ending positive attitude to as well. All the while she kept up well, regularly updating her parents on her academics and asking for help when she needed it. Setbacks where inevitable, and she, like many of her other classmates, experienced those particular nights drenched in tears and a stressed mentality, but like her classmates, she persevered. Eventually, in her third year, she would fly from her parents' nest completely, joining her fellow students to live at the school, for what purpose? To "lock in," as the mumajin kids of similar age liked to say.

Since, well, her birth, Kiyoko had been known to laugh. In fact, she hadn't even cried when she first exited the womb, when her mother first held her in her arms. She preferred laughter. It was a strange thing that fascinated her parents, but neither complained. They were relieved that their daughter was joyful, and hoped that joyful exuberance would benefit her later down the line.

So, then, the sound of little Kiyoko's laughter became commonplace in the household. The girl only ever cried when she needed to be fed or a diaper change, and even then her cries were soft and moderate. It was a placid afternoon, and her nanny had been in the living room cleaning up a prior snack mess and fluffing up the pillows again. Little Kiyoko, aged five, was in her playroom, fiddling with building blocks, when she first spotted it. A butterfly. For some unknown reason, it delighted her. Perhaps it was the vibrant blue of the insect's wings. Naturally, the girl began to laugh.

In fact, she laughed so hard that some neighbors swore they heard the faintest trace of her sounds. Of course, the butterfly had been startled away, but what then captured her attention was something much more fascinating:

Her building blocks, floating, suspended midair.

Kiyoko stands at the moderate height of 5'2, sporting long, dark brown hair that is moderately golden at the tips. Her eyes are large, round, double lidded, and nearly as brown has her hair. All auspicious qualities, her nanny says. Her usual attire consists of an arsenal of cute shorts and tees (totally not from Uniqlo...it's a good brand, alright?) and occasionally, overalls. She also experiments with cargo pants and off-the-shoulder shirts, which have been her new obsession. Her hair is kept usually in twintails, tied low, but that was mostly in her younger years. Most recently, Kiyoko has been experimenting with other hairstyles like braids or ponytails or a hybrid of both.

Kiyoko is, in essence, a concentrated ball of pure positivity. Some even swear she has sunshine in her pockets. She is almost always smiling, laughing, or making someone else smile and laugh. Yet, her positivity is not boundless in a way that almost makes you uncomfortable: it feels like just enough. She has other emotions, after all. Moreover, her positivity does not, in any way, make her a pushover. She knows when to be strong, when to stand tall with her head held high, when to be cold and when to be harsh. There's a bit of everything. her laughter doesn't make her weak to criticism or harshness, in fact, she faces it with resilience. She laughs, she doesn't cry. (Okay, she does, like all normal people, but she's not a pushover - let's just make that clear.)
