Poppy's Father

Basic Information
Current Date: 1968

Age: Unknown

Background
Poppy's father is the child of a Japanese immigrant couple, and tends to be a bit isolated and mistrusting of others in their small town. With his wife having died soon after giving birth, he's extremely protective of his only daughter, Poppy Knivesbane. He lives comfortably in a small town in Kentucky.

Poppy Knivesbane
Poppy's father holds Poppy as the most important thing in his life, in an extension to his wife, who passed away soon after giving birth to her. Having doted and focused on his wife for most of his time, he made sure to turn this attention to his daughter, giving her most things she wanted, within reason, and not minding that Poppy didn't seem to want much. He helped her keep up in school when ill, and tutored her often. Unfortunately, she ended up extremely isolated as a result of him not letting many boys in the house, whom she had more inclinations of being friends with. As an adult, he fully trusts her decisions, despite being wary of her chosen partner.

Chopper Knivesbane
He does not hold Chopper to high respect, as he had a habit of sneaking into his daughters room against his will as a child and teenager, usually tracking in mud or even bringing in bugs. They had a rivalry, that started with Chopper leaving a stick in Poppy's room, to eventually climaxing with Chopper managing to get in an entire tree branch. After that Poppy's father was extremely wary of him and the lengths he would go to. He internally blamed Chopper for a lot of Poppy's carelessness with situations, and letting things go too easy, which he saw as something to be detrimental to her health. After he left, he was silently relieved, and when his daughter came home after years of being away with just phone calls, being told that both of them had ended up engaged didn't make him like Chopper any more. After Chopper visited though, again despite his wishes, though across an entire country just to be next to her, he couldn't help but lighten up on him just slightly. Especially seeing the way Chopper doted on her just like he himself had done when she was younger.
