Who do you personally cast as Harumi if she were to (hopefully) be playable? Me, I'd pick Sumalee Montano. Because 1) since she's the voice and mocap of Yuna in Ghost of Tsushima, it would be cute if she ended up being Jin's husband in another universe, and 2) because I think she has the range and capability to pull Harumi off. She's played so many badass characters like the aforementioned Yuna and Arcee from Transformers: Prime. Just listen to them both and tell me that’s not Harumi. Arcee’s snarky personality can also be for her more funnier interactions with Kuai Liang and Smoke 🤪
Also I kinda ship Jin and Yuna so it would be funnier if they end up becoming partners in two franchises 👀
Hi, Anon!! Thanks for the ask!!🩷
I went after Sumalee's work as Arcee and Yuna, and oooh I can definitely see our vision, and I loved it!
I totally see Kuairumi in Yuna and Jin! Him being more reserved and doing his very best to look always so composed and in control, but just not being able to keep it together when he's around the pretty girl🤭 it's cute!
Meanwhile, she's more open about her feelings and makes sure he knows how much she cares for him!
It's an undeniably cute dynamic!
As for her work as Arcee, I believe Harumi would save the snarky attitude for her enemies and be more of a tease towards her friends!
Especially towards Kuai, who's completely out of his comfort zone and having to take a role he didn't want to nor was prepared to take!
She would tease him and make little jokes just to light up the mood. He would pout at her comments and, for a moment, would just forget about all his problems. It helps, even though he doesn't realise right away!
So, Sumalee is definitely a great choice!🩷
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Now for my personal choice:
See, I'm Brazilian, and most of us take pride in our voice actors and the amazing work they do!
We have so many iconic voices, Guilherme Briggs, Flávia Saddy, Miriam Fisher, Marcio Seixas, and so, so, so many more!
So when I think of a voice for Harumi, I can only think of Brazilian voices for her. My personal favourite being:
Guilene Conte!
Here's a little compilation so you can hear her voice!
Her work as Rochelle from "Everybody Hates Chris" is LEGENDARY to the point whenever we hear Rochelle's actress, Tichina Arnold, speak in English it just feels sooo wrong!😂😂
Her works as Sarah Lance and Capitan Amélia were great, too. She has a really strong voice, fitting with a leader, I can definitely hear her commanding her warriors in defence of the Shirai Ryu!
She would also go personally to Kuai's defence when a student tries to be too bold on him, talking back and acting disrespectful, she would snap at them Rochelle style and make them wish they were never born (that definitely extends to Bi-Han), lol💀
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
In a perfect world, Sumalee voices Harumi and Guilene does the Brazilian dub!👀💕💖💞💓
@madamealtruist you're the pro when it comes to voice acting. Please, girl, do share your thoughts when you're back!💕

Alluring. (5/5)
With: Detective!Bucky x Witch!Reader.
Words: 3,632.
<<
All the amazing time you had banished like thin smoke in the air.
Yasmin was desperate and confused about how the frog grabbed Jack's ring.
Barnes went mad to the hotel, the last time he felt so welcomed it was way before he was an adult. And even if forbidden any interaction with witnesses or suspects, he loved the morning he had. You were very nice, the girls likes him and he felt, peace.
And by your reaction, you knew who the pedant belonged to.
And then, he acquired a proof of Yasmin's involvement in Jack's missing, and you, he scoffed thinking of how naive he was.
It was forbidden to spend time with the suspects, he needed to make questions and leave, not having breakfast!
Which made you guilty for hiding information and protect a suspect from the law.
The education and gentleness you showed him were probably to mislead him.
As Bucky grabbed the letter you've sent to Yasmin before Jack disappeared, you walked to the hotel he was staying.
Lying farther wouldn't help, and lying to him seemed even more... tainted.
You asked about him in the reception, and even if the impolite old man didn't tell you which room the detective was staying, the fact that it only had a room being rented you knew it was him.
Taking a deep breath you prayed that whatever occurs won't take your daughters away from you.
Four knocks met the door and it opened with a surprised James Barnes.
"Hi, can I come in?" You asked in a small voice.
Bucky's face kept stoical, professional, as he should have been the whole case.
Years of professionalism to be dragged out of the window with such ferocity.
James nodded and you walked in the small room, files placed in the bed, you spotted a familiar one and retrieved the paper with your words on it.
"What is this?"
"Yours."
"Yes, and why do you have it?"
"Because it speaks of a disappeared criminal, so it's the government’s property now." His voice was still composure and you threw the letter back at the mattress.
"Jack Rollings is dead." You confessed.
"Who killed him?"
"Me."
"Why?"
"It was self-defense, and I assure you that. I never killed anyone before. He was abusing Yasmin and one night, she called me asking for help. That he was out of his mind, punching her, obliging her to do... sex." You took a deep breath at the mention of abuse. "I mean she won't agree with this, will only say that he wanted to have more sex and that was okay. And when I drove to get her back home, he placed a knife on her neck, he was drunk and probably on drugs too, I had to drive his car whenever he told me to or else he would kill my sister. As you know, I know how to deal with plants and herbs, and has a herb called belladonna which Yasmin used to calm him down times to times, so there was a small quantity in his car. He made me stop to piss somewhere in the road and dragged Yasmin by her hair, so I wouldn't drive away with her, which trust me! I would. So in an instinct I grabbed the herbs and placed in one of his alcohol bottles, the quantity I placed wasn't to kill him, I just wanted him to pass out so I could run away and press charges against him. But maybe the belladonna mixed with some other drug and he died, overdose probably. Yasmin started to yell and say that I would lose my children and they can't be without me, trust me I know how it's to grow without parents and they lost their father already they don't have to lose me too." Tears started to fell from your eyes and Bucky grabbed a box of tissue handing it to you. He kept silent, waiting for you to finish the story. "You've done your research, therefore, you know how people in this town call us witches. Part of that is true, but I never did any sort of black magic, but with Yasmin yelling and the idea of losing my children I got desperate. I drove back home and I and Yasmin did a ritual to bring him back, and it worked."
"He got back to life?"
"Sort of, when you do magic that involves dark elements, it doesn't work as it should. Bringing someone back from the dead it... it's terrible."
"And you did it."
"Yes, I mean it was a raper and abuser, who bad he could come as? He... did, he woke up but his eyes were blank, he grabbed Yasmin by the neck and strangled her, he was stronger than before so I hit him with a pan over and over. And he died, again, so that time we buried him in my yard. I don't know how that bird held his pendant, I really don’t. But that is the truth, I know enough about the law that the fact that I lied with make things worse, and... and do whatever you have to do."
Bucky kept staring at you silently, hundreds of thoughts running through his head. Yes, you could have fixed this, going to the cops and explained what happened.
But as you lied to a federal and had a body in your yard, it made things worse.
His chest was beating in disappointment, you didn’t deserve it.
He should take you out of his room, or put cuffs on you and take you to his city, but instead, he sat in the mattress by your side.
"I don’t believe in magic, but I don’t believe you would kill someone. Am I wrong?"
"No. I swear for my life that it was self-defense."
"Alright. I..." He took a deep breath, and for your surprise, he chuckled. "Magic uh?!"
"Yeah."
Seriousness found him again, he had a job to do. "Listen, I have to take you and Yasmin back with me, and found lawyers to the two of you."
It was inevitable, then you had to prove for the judge. Which was impossible.
You looked down at your hands and glanced around his room, clearly to avoid him.
"I, uh, I-" He stuttered. "Well, I wish things were different. I really do."
Looking up at him you realized how blue his eyes were, up close, a hint of grey making them even more charming.
In a trance, you pressed your forehead against his, he was pulling you to him, and you didn’t know why.
Buck forgot all of his police speech and grabbed your cheek placing his lips against yours.
Your surprise was momentanous as you quickly got engulfed at the feeling.
Your hands found his neck and after what seemed like seconds you were straddling him. Bucky gripped your hips and pulled your body closer to his, while you were lost in the moment you realized how stronger his left grip felt, you broke the kiss and looked down at his hands, he always wore gloves.
You touched his hands and pulled the material off of his hand, the right on was normal, flesh one. And the left was metal. "What?"
Bucky looked at his hand and worried that your face was of disgust.
While you thought about the spell you made years ago, and like a flash, you started to rememeber the items. Blue eyes, bake a cake in 10 minutes, like children, like animals, you wouldn't be able to lie, an arm metal arm like Robocop, a man of justice.
You got in your feet and left the room in a rush, he couldn't be! It was a spell, an ingenious spell.
Bucky saw you leaving and looked at his arm in disappointment. "I lost it in a war."
…
That couldn't be happening. You were a kid! A mere kid that made a stupid spell, and you were very clear in what to pinpoint how your "prince charming" would be like.
It couldn't be real.
It couldn't be James Barnes.
As your steps lead you home, your thoughts were running a mile per hour. You kissed him. The detective that will put you and your sister in jail.
Reaching your house you heard shouts, Amélia's shout.
Your heart broke and you ran to her reach, going up the stairs you saw Iara crying in the floor and Yasmin desperately looking at Amélia.
"What is happening?"
"Is Jack! He is using her!" Yasmin yelled and your eyes filled with water, fear filling your being.
Amélia was in bed, sweating and shaking. "Leave her alone!" You shouted and tried to touch your child.
Jack's almost transparent figure got out of her body and stared at you, his eyes filled with mockery. "Little Amélia was so nice seeing me in the yard, how could I not take advantage of that."
"Get out of my daughter's body!" You shouted and Jack's kept hurting your daughter.
The door downstairs was beat and after a couple of seconds Bucky came to the room, you looked at him confused and him, even out of breath, stopped his steps and stared at Amélia. "What is going on?"
Amélia looked at him and smile. "Oh Detective Barnes, came all the way over here just to find me?" Amélia's lips formed into a mocked pout.
"Jack?!" Bucky was wide-eyed.
Amélia grabbed your arm and you cried at how hard her grip was, Bucky ran to your reach and held her arm pulling her away from you, an instinct of protecting you rising on him, but as the metal hand touched her skin, she screamed, and Jack's transparent spirit got out of her.
Yasmin looked at Buck's arm and knew it was because of the metal.
"Y/N! Ghosts don't like metal!"
You looked at Buck and back at Amélia.
The girl fell in bed sweating.
"Sweetheart, hey hey." You called her and was relieved to know Jack wasn't inside her.
For now.
She started to cry and you hugged her firmly. "Shh its okay, baby."
You looked at Buck who was still shocked about the whole thing. You grabbed Amélia's face in your hands and looked at her deep in her eyes. "Listen, you stay here with Bucky and me and Yasmin will grab aunt Bim and aunt Mira. Okay? He will protect you and I'll be back. Alright?"
She seemed unsure for a bit but nodded, you held Bucky's hands and tried to regain your breath. "Listen, the metal in your arm will hurt Jack if comes around again, I need to place his body on fire so his spirit will be gone. Alright? Please, I- I know it's a lot to ask but please just... protect her for me."
Buck could say no and that he had a job to do and take the body back to his city, he could run away from the mess and avoid all of the baggage.
But how could he say no to you?
"Of course." He held Amélia's arm and you grabbed Yasmin's hand, Iara was still crying so you kneeled in front of her and dried her tears.
"My love, do you want to go with me and aunt Yasmin or stay with Amélia and Bucky?"
"I want to stay."
"Alright then. Be careful." You kissed her forehead and looked back at Amélia who was almost sleeping duo exhaustion.
Since Yasmin came back and the aunt knew something was going on they left the house and stood in a cottage in the woods.
You and Yasmin ran to them but since the family bond made them feel your distress they found you in the middle of the path.
"Hey, so, listen-" You took a deep breath, oxygen running away from your lungs. "There is a ghost of a really bad man and he possed Amélia and we need to place his body on fire!"
They nodded instantly and went to the house after you. "He possessed little Amélia? Oh I will burn him with salvia!" Bim yelled.
Back at home you and Yasmin ran outside getting the sholves and started to take the earth out of Jack's burial.
Finding his body you and Yasmin looked at him on the floor and the aunts came running with salt, gasoline and some herbs to make sure he will be gone.
Forever.
You and Yasmin got out of the whole and you held the salt throwing it on his body.
The four of you started to recite a expelling spell and the winds started to go faster making the leaves in the floor flown.
Yasmin threw gasoline on his whole body. And your aunts threw the herbs. You grabbed a match and lit it letting it fall on Jack's body.
Since the quantity of gasoline it got fire instantly.
Jack's spirit got back to his body and he yelled in agony. As the fire grew bigger and the chanting louder Bucky and the girls came downstairs to see what was happening.
The fire grew taller before dying completely.
The smells of burned flesh was heavy and you coughed looking at your aunt to be sure it was done. They smiled at you with a nod and you let a relieved sigh.
You and Yasmin placed the earth back to the body, when it was done, you kneeled in the floor hugging your children, you looked up at Buck and he gave you a small smile trying to tell you that it was okay.
Buck left after a couple of hours and hugged your children and hugged you briefly saying that he had to go, but for you do not worry.
Seeing him leaving made your heart break, there it was, the agony you always tried to prevent.
A Month Later.
After placing Jack's body on fire everything got back to normal. Yasmin started to help you in the shop and even sold a few of her made clothes.
Amélia was great and the incident was forgotten.
And you... well, you kept breathing. Doing your chores, being there for your kids.
But something was missing, someone.
Buck didn't contact you afterward, he sent a letter to you that was a digitized document of the government saying that Jack's body wasn't found and the case was closed.
Your eyes filled with grateful tears reading the paper, that meant he lied for you, lied to save yours, your sister and your kids' lives.
After that, he didn't send anything else.
Didn't call. He did nothing.
Two Months Later.
You were sitting in your yard, gazing at the stars and thinking about life when your heart clenched, your blood ran faster and you knew he was close.
Looking back at the house you saw Buck coming with a smile.
You walked to his reach and when you were centimeters from him he clashed his lips against yours.
It was heaven.
"I missed you, Y/N, so much."
"I missed you too, Buck, why did you help me? Why you told your boss and colleagues that you haven't found the body?"
He grabbed your hands and brought them to his lips. "I never believed in magic, but when I saw your daughter in pain and Jack's body, well, spirit, getting out of her flash I couldn't just ignore that. Jack was a monster and you did what you did in self-defense. And they wouldn't believe, they didn't see what I did, and I couldn't bear the error of placing you in jail. You're not a murderer."
Your eyes filled with tears, you didn't mean to kill Jack, not really. And his understanding of the matter meant a lot.
But as his lips reached yours again you pulled back. "I, I have something to tell you."
You sat in the floor again and pulling with you, Buck was worried about your scared look.
"When I was a child, I didn't want to fall in love. Ever. So I made a spell to prevent it, but we can't block love so I decided to prevent it by choosing someone that didn't exist. I said that he would have the bluest eyes, he would be kind, gentle, a man of the law, that he would like kids, and animals. That he would bake a cake in 10 minutes, he would speak four languages and would have a Robocop's arm. And that is you." You cried harder and Buck was confused by your words, yes, it was almost a description of him but it wasn't like you made him up.
"Y/N." You avoided his eyes. "Hey, look at me."
"I can't."
"I love you."
You looked at him startled, you loved him too, with your whole heart. But it wasn't real. It was a spell.
"You don't."
"I do, I know what I feel. What are you scared of?"
"Because it's not true, it's a spell."
"Y/N, how old were you when you made it?"
"Around six years."
"I'm older than you, I was born already." He smiled. "I was giving ma and dad a lot of trouble already." You smiled. "I know that what I feel is real, and I know you feel the same."
You tried everything to prevent it, to love and be loved. And when you broke your own rule, your sweet Paterson died, because of a curse.
But James Barnes was your impossible man, the man that you asked about because it wasn't real.
But there he was, and the curse wouldn't reach him.
You jumped in his arms hugging him, keeping his scent in your mind, feeling safe.
You broke your firm embrace and looked at him, slightly embarrassed. "So, uh, what how? I don't want to rush things."
His laugh was rich and made you smile contagiously. "I think it is late for that. I mean, I already have your family’s approval and we already had breakfast together, and we are sort of kissing in your yard so." He joked making you smile wilder. "But seriously now, I will take you on a date and if you take me in I'll stay here with you. Because I know it's where I wanna be, is where I always knew I needed to be. I always felt alone, out of place, but I found you. And that is magic for me."
