The game is Jet Set Radio Future and the character is Gum. She's one of the first characters you encounter in-game, introduces the player to the initial concepts of the game (moving and spraying graffiti), and can be talked to plenty of times throughout the game on the current event. The "narrator" even gives her a brief description which only two other characters get in game at the start.
Her canon can basically be summed up as "a gang of freedom fighters-slash-punkass kids defy a corrupt government with sweet tricks and graffiti which can somehow make giant robot things malfunction (??? welcome to Japan???)" I would like to keep the basics of that for Gum, with everything being explained by magic. (The wicked skates and graffiti, not the robot thing.)
However, in canon, of course the gang beats the Bad Guy Weirdo Government dude through... weird shenanigans. However, for Sorting Hat, I would have it that before the group can really do anything, the Corrupt Government Official Weirdo Dude pulls some strings and manages to find ways to separate the gang. In Gum's case, her family would be transferred to a position in England and she would have to change schools from a school in her native Japan to Hogwarts.
I'd like to play it as her exploring completely foreign territory along with dealing with separation from her friends and knowing that something is Rotten In Denmark Tokyo. I think it might also give her a bit of something to work towards, if that makes any sense?
