APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY
Appearance:
Nemuri, first and foremost, has the worst set of raccoon eyes ever seen on a living human thanks to her Quirk. Despite being out of school quite a bit she has "permanent finals week face" going for her. Other than her eyes she looks pretty well kept. Her hair is cut just to her chin in length and, though naturally black, is a bloody crimson at the moment. She prefers to keep it loose but pins it back with two large black clips when she'd working. The extent of her fashion sense goes to "clean sweater" and left at that--if it's comfortable and loose she'll wear it. She hates to wear things more form-fitting. Lastly she wears a pair of round glasses on her nose with simple silver frames. The glass itself has no prescription, but rather keeps her Quirk from getting everywhere should she sneeze. She keeps a cleaning cloth for it in her pocket at all times, made of a strangely strong, shiny gold fabric.
POSITIVE
✔ Humorous, Open-Minded, Protective, Charming
NEGATIVE
✖ Aloof, Foul-Mouthed, "Us vs. Them" Mentality, Insomniac
LIKES
✔ Coffee, Animals (Cats!!), Interesting People, Her Work
DISLIKES
✖ Not Sleeping, Low Days, Spicy Foods, Getting the Sniffles
Personality:
Nemuri is an individual who's nicer than she looks, but hard in the camp of "nice is not good". As a barista she's good at exchanging snarky comments and listening to stories, projecting a mostly genuine care for those she's tending to. Unfortunately that kindness only extends to those in the sphere of "her own"--Quirkless get none of her attention unless they put in an effort, and even then she'll be far faker with them than others. And doubly unfortunately her kindness also extends to those who have a less than positive reputation with the law. She sympathizes even with some of the most frightening characters in Japan, so long as they're the sort who keep their own "business" strictly out of her own. She'll treat them as nice as she does her other loyal customers, sure, but bring a fight to her and good luck ever coming back.
Her connections with her father's company, although strained, also gives her some decent reasons to make friendly with heroes, outside of just covering for her more shady clientele. If they purchase from the corp then, hey, more inheritance for her.

HISTORY
The Ogasawara family has been known in Japan since the medieval period, though most of their renown and fame has long since faded over time. Now they’re known throughout Japan as masters of the tactile industry. They provide for thousands of clothing stores, but with the dawn of heroes, they've become more focused in making Heroes’ costumes. It helps that the three sons running the business developed Quirks with applications to their industry! Sometimes fate is extra fortuitous in this way. Nemuri is the eldest daughter of the eldest son, thus making her the closest to inheriting once her father and uncles retire.
However, Nemuri isn’t exactly an ideal heir to the Ogasawara business; unlike other members of the family, her Quirk was more closely related to her mother’s--a simple emitter Quirk that used singing to put people to sleep. It didn’t have many practical uses. Nemuri, in turn, could create a sort of sand from her fingers and the corners of her eyes--not unlike tears--that also put people to sleep. It was an odd Quirk, but her parents both loved her nonetheless.
Tragedy struck, however, when Nemuri was only ten years old. Her mother was in a fatal automobile accident that left her comatose, and though Nemuri begged her father to keep her mother alive, at the chance she'd wake up...she never did.
It was a hard three years of grieving for herself and for her father, but after that time her father remarried to a woman who was an...interesting person, to say the least. Her name was Kin. Kin was notably younger than Nemuri's father and had a sort of blooming optimism that infected the home. Though Nemuri was at an age where she was quite rebellious, her new step-mother managed to chip away at her shell through endless perseverance. When Kin and her father had a baby together Nemuri gained a little sister, and soon, the family felt whole again.
Well...mostly. Nemuri still missed her mother greatly, a fact that Kin's presence didn't erase. As she grew older and began to mature, she felt like she wanted to experience life near where her mother had grown up; get to know the other side of her family a bit better. Her father and Kin thought this was a good idea, and so Nemuri spent her high school life living in Tokyo rather than in Yamagata (where the family's manor resided).
In Tokyo she didn't do much schooling as she did socializing, and in those years came to a disturbing realization. With her old money and respectful name, she and her family rarely faced prejudice the way Quirkers among the "commoners" did. She got hurt more than a few times jumping between a classmate with a Quirk and one without. The realization that she'd been living behind a wall, ignorant of how much people truly hated her "kind", made her sick. She had to do something to help.
But Nemuri's Quirk made for a poor vigilante, and heroism as a real, legitimate job was a few years away. So she asked her father and Kin for help. Under the guise of wanting to "make her own way" for a while, she used a fair bit of money to purchase a closed love hotel, and converted it into the "Black Sand Cafe & Inn". She hired on several Quirkers she knew from school, or friends-of-friends with Quirks of their own, and put word out that the rooms were available to those without safe places to stay--so long as they, too, had a Quirk. She wanted to make a haven. Wants to still.
It's a lot harder than it looks. Sometimes people take note of the staff being nothing but Quirkers. Sometimes people follow somebody to the inn, and Nemuri has to get police involved. Once or twice Quirkers in the shop would defend themselves--violently, even--and Nemuri would turn a blind eye to it for their sake. She's even bought weapons to hide under the counter, should they be needed.
For the last five years things have gotten better and worse. Heroes existing changed so much. Her father's company began to make suits for them, and gave more power to Quirkers she'd once known. But while it meant that some of the vigilantes she knew have gone pro, it also meant they'd have to arrest the ones who hadn't, if they caught them. The divide among Quirkers grew deeper. Were heroes sell-outs? Were vigilantes criminals? Did some villains have a point in all this, with how cruel Quirkless still treated them? Nemuri hated the discourse, so she kept neutral, kept silent, and kept her word to just protect Quirkers regardless of where they stand in this mess. Does that make her a criminal, for hiding these things? Probably.
But so many big business owners are criminals. She's just getting a head start.
