"BLOSSOMING
BUSHIDO"
What is it about?
Blossoming Bushido follows
the intersecting lives of an awkward, emotionally withdrawn 5th grade girl, and
a samurai of high intelligence and superior killer instinct. Their stories will
crosscut between concurrent story lines with the point-of-view switching between
the 5th grader and samurai as the story sees fit.
When Felicia
Fabian, ten-year-old suburbanite with a blossoming set of problems, from being
at home with a tattle-tell little sister, to being invisible to boys, mean
girls, and fractions at school, goes into the hospital for surgery to remove an
eye tumor, she never imaged just how much her life would change. As the voice
that everyone jokingly says they have in their heads for Felicia becomes
real, now she shares her body with the soul of Kazuma, a Meiji Era
samurai who escaped damnation of the Underworld, and for the sake of Felicia's
mind, body and soul she must form an uneasy alliance with Kazuma in order
to survive to the tender age of eleven.
Character Studies-
this how I start, trying to figure out the look of the characters in the story.
These are the characters
studies of the three samurai that appear in the novel.
