Skylar "Sky" Senpuu
Song Bird
Sky's cottage, better known as 'The Senpuu Cottage', has been in the Senpuu Family for years.
Here, Skylar was born, and resided with her mother before death separated them. There are no other houses, nor people, for that matter, within a fifty mile radius.
The only other building, as pictured above, is a storage shed, in which Sky keeps her 'witch-like' belongings, such as potions and the like. There is a spell scroll on the shed's door to keep the unwanted out.
The inside of the cottage is small, yet cozy. The entrance is of normal stature, along with the room it leads to.
There is a small hallway before arriving in the main room. Various picture frames hang on the walls, mostly clippings from newspapers. Clippings about the DWMA, a couple of Death Scythes, such as Justin Law, along with a description of their heroism, pictures of Lord Death, and a seemingly large amount of deeds reported to be accomplished by Death the Kid (before and after he enrolled in the academy, in which a couple academy ones also feature a little of Maka, Soul, Black Star, and Tsubaki) reside on the right side of the hall.
Upon the left side reside the same. Newspaper clippings, however these had headlines of the many 'bad-doers' that had been causing chaos. Among them where Jack the Ripper, and a few other famous, and not so famous, baddies.
None of the clippings on either side of the hall are relatively new, the last one on the left being a headline of Asura and alongside him, Arachne. On the right side, however, was a bold headline that stated the defeat of the maddened Kishin. Also, a large picture of Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Liz, and Patty were on the page. A smaller picture next to the larger one shows Lord Death standing on the DWMA's grounds commending the three team's efforts.
The main room is the largest room in the house. There sits a neat little fireplace, with a mantel, and a few black and white and faded photos placed upon it. The largest frame is in the center, which contains a picture of Skylar's mother holding Sky when she was just an infant. Despite the fact that this is the largest picture on the mantel, it is relatively small, about the size of a large man's fist.
Directly in front of the fireplace stands the couch, a bit small in size, but big enough for three people. On each side, comfy chairs with a bit of a large cushion on them are placed. A small side table is placed on the opposite side of each chair as well.
There are two open doorways on each side of the room leading to other rooms.
The door to the left leads to the kitchen, which is no larger than a one-person college dormitory. On one wall hangs various pots, pans, cooking utensils, and two aprons. One apron is larger than the other, and seems not to have been used in years. On the opposite side stands the sink, with a little window over it. To the left of the sink, the oven, a few overhead cabinets, and the refrigerator are placed ever so neatly. The fridge is directly on the left when entering. Within the cabinets closest to the fridge, dishes and glasses of all kinds have their place. The cabinet next to that, which is closest to the oven, contains various spices and such to make a fine tasting meal.
To the right of the sink is a long counter with thick drawers that contain towels and cloths for cleaning and the like. Another thinner drawer sits above the thicker drawers. This is where the silverware and other eating utensils are kept. To the further right, the counter cuts off, leaving a bit of an open space. Located to the left of said open space contains a rather seemingly large closet. This would be the pantry. It always seems to be well stocked with a variety of non-perishable food-stuffs.
If one doesn't wish to go to the pantry, the right would be the convenient route to where dining takes place.
The dining room is the second largest room in the house. Though they never had any guests, Sky's mother insisted on a somewhat large place to eat. The table in the center of the room can accompany six people. After walking into the room, a small window is in the high-middle of the first wall to the left. A picture hangs on the wall directly center of the of the wall across from the kitchen entrance, followed by a wall to the right which leads to a brief hallway.
After making one's way out of the dining room and into the hall, straight leads to back into the main room. To go right brings you passed a decent sized, and well kept bathroom.
Within the bathroom stands a large mirror hanging above a medium-sized sink. On the other side of the sink stands the toilet. Across from the toilet is the shower, also decently sized. Next to the shower and across from the sink, a smallish closet is located. It's contents contain towels, cloths, a few cleaning supplies, and the laundry basket.
Passed the bathroom stands a single, somewhat lonely looking door. Upon the door, which is always kept shut, hangs a small, yet noticeable sign that reads 'Skylar's Room'. Just above her own name is a faded, unreadable word, most obviously meant to be a name, and a plus sign next to it, which is only slightly faded.
Beyond the door is a small room. It can only fit a simple dresser, a bed for two, as long as the two snuggled in close, and a bedside table. Upon the table is a lamp and a clock. The dresser stands directly on the left wall, after walking in, which contains underclothing, tops and bottoms that need not to be hung within the closet. On top of the dresser is a medium sized mirror, a hair brush, a few hair ribbons and a small chest. Within the chest contains few items, however they are far too precious. Most are jewelery that Sky's mother wore regularly, along with formal and festive jewelery. Only a couple of rings, and one set of earrings belong to Sky. The wall across from the door has a long in width, yet small in height window, which has curtains partially open during the day. The bed is placed to the right of the windowed wall, along with the bedside table on its' right. To the direct right, after walking in the room, is Sky's closet. Obviously, clothes are stored in such a small space, along with three brooms, each one larger than the next. Like the apron in the kitchen, the largest of the brooms seems not to have been used in years. The second broom however fits Sky just fine. The third looks like it was made for a child. This one was Sky's first ever broom. Her mother never had the heart to dispose of it, and neither does Skylar.
Now, on the left of the bed is something unnoticeable at first glance. Upon studying the space closely, there is a door that is blended into the paint of the wall. Likewise, on the outside, the door is also painted to blend in with the side of the cottage. This is an emergency entrance and exit that Sky's mother insisted on having. It is rarely used.
Finally, after one exits the bedroom, there is a door directly to the left. This door conceals a staircase that leads to the attic, which is well kept and cleaned on a regular basis. If one were to walk in, they would see a light bulb hanging in the center, but reachable from the door. To their left, a few old pictures of Skylar's parents before their daughter was born hang upon the wall. Her parents look happy in them. However, her father's happiness disappeared when Sky was born. There are a couple chests filled with her mother's old clothing, and a couple crates on top of the chests. An old fashion 'stove' of sorts, that opens in the front to which wood can be added, is located to the very right of the chests. Skylar always keeps it ready for use. The center wall isn't much to look at. No pictures adorn it, not even a window to let in the light. Instead, a large, empty dresser stands next to a medium sized desk. Despite the fact that the desk hasn't been used since Sky's father left, it is still well stocked with paper, a few erasers, a box half full of pencils, a small pencil sharpener and a small dried up bottle of whiteout. Crates containing books stand on either side of the two pieces of furniture. Lastly, the right-hand wall is where the only window is located. Like everything else, it is kept clean, and lets in what little light it can capture. Under it, a bed sits, pressed up against the center of the wall, kept fresh and dust free, despite that it isn't made. An empty crate stands on each side of the bed. On the left crate stands an old lamp, in which Skylar checks the bulb every so often and replaces it if needed. However, the crate to the right holds nothing.
Finally, one can exit and go back down the stairs into the main parts of the cottage.
This concludes the tour of The Senpuu Cottage.
