No Face
"No... No... I'm lonely... I'm lonely..."
Name: No Face - Kaonashi (Japanese Name)
Age: Unknown
Sex: Implied Male
Personality: Originally No Face had a lack of personality. In truth No Face, was nothing, barely in existance. After his first encounter with Sen he learned a form of kindness, along with the act of giving. No Face took that incorrectly though and attempted helping Sen, but for incorrect intentions, eventually that became greed after watching the bath house workers. No Face soon enough took on the act of giving for purposes of self-gain, and he had a greedy nature. Soon enough Sen gave him medicine and slowly as he regurgitated the bath house workers, he became his same emotionless self. After his journey with Sen to Zaneba's he gained the emotion of kindness and friendship, and love as permanent emotions. He also became calm, good natured, and took on the personality of Zaneba's kind and friendly side. At the moment No Face still lives with Zaneba and is helping her with chores and such within her home, He will always remember the kindness that Chihiro had shown him and how she made him who he is today.
History: The history of No Face is never told within the journeys of Sen, no one knows for sure who he was, or who he is... From the looks of it, he was a forgotten soul, a spirit that was tossed away, he has no identification beyond No Face, which is what he is, he has no identity. No Face was most likely during his lifetime a man or boy who had died, but no one had taken care to bury or cremate his body, he was forgotten and erased from history, from existance. No Face was given form as a spirit, but happened to be only a shade of what would be called a spirit. His fading spirit shows how faint he is. No Face eventually began to wander the spirit world in search for what he had never had in the real world, kindness, love, and friendship.
No Face as time passed crossed his ways into the Bath House within the spirit world. No Face watched aimlessly at the other spirits, but felt nothing from watching them, they too had died like him, or were never really alive to begin with, they were just there, they weren't human. One day everything changed, a human girl Chihiro arrived after an eternity of watching from the outside of the bath house, he had found a live girl, a girl with emotions, feelings, naiveness, shyness, cowardness, bravery, intelligence, kindness, and many things No Face had never gotten to experience within his life.
He watched her and once the day of rain had arrived, Sen had invited the lonely, empty figure inside the Bath House. No Face followed Sen at all times, not always visible, but always following, he attempted to help her out, and even gave her the bath token she had needed. Later he tried again, but she did not require aid. This gave No Face strange feelings for something to accept something so gratefully and happily one second and so ungratefully and unneedy the next. He wandered the bath house aimlessly again, this time he appeared again to a frog who was devoured, the greedy frogs personality and even appearances copied onto the No Face, soon enough more and more greedy came into the creature. But as No Face gained more possessions and food, he didn't feel true happiness. He began eating more people and destroying things unsure of why things were as they were. He then remembered the moments of true happiness and those were with Sen.
Sen eventually came back to No Face. No Face attempted to eat Sen, to take her as his forever, but with the medicine she had recieved he was able to be cured of his greed, the mystic powers of the medicine went beyond just physical injury. No Face chased Sen throughout the bath house, but at the end recovered and was removed of the greed and such of which the bath house was covered in. No Face followed Sen, this time with a will to find out how she was so strange. No Face followed her upon the train, the train was filled with strange figures, which in some way... looked just like... him... The train ride was long and empty, but eventually the group made it to the station. No Face was able to see friendship, love and kindness. He watched as Sen went to save Haku, even when there was nothing in it for her beyond saving her dying friend. He helped make the hair tie of friendship with the rat and fly, the four Zaneba, No Face, and the two cute pests, worked and made the hairtie, hopefully Sen would never forget them, the tie was imbued with No Face's, Bou's, Yu-Bird's, and Zaneba's care for the girl and for her to have safety until she was truely free of the spirit world.
No Face has missed Sen, but has become calm and kind now, so he waits patiently for Sen, hopefully she will remember the friendship tie and still holds it dear to her.
