Butterfly

When Butterfly was ten, her family sold her to the geisha house, Hanano Okiya, to gain money to feed the family. Her hometown is in the North-East region of Japan and her family includes a mother, father, grandmother, older brother, younger sister and a younger brother who passed away before she was sold. Upon moving to Hanano Okiya, she was looked after by the older girls working there who watched over her like a younger sister. Ever since she was a child living in Hanano Okiya, she always played with Chinatsu Fukuzawa, a tattooist who lived behind the geisha house. She also had a long time crush on Chinatsu as well. She worked as a geisha-in-training until, one day, she was purchased by a rich foreigner that was one of Chinatsu's customers for 3500 yen ($300) when she was 15-years-old. Later on, when she revealed her true feelings to Chinatsu, and he realized his own feelings for her too, he bought her from the foreigner. After this happened, she moved in with him and stopped working as a geisha-in-training.
