#menarche

“In Cambodia a girl at puberty is put to bed under a mosquito curtain, where she should stay a hundred days. Usually, however, four, five, ten, or twenty days are thought enough; and even this, in a hot climate and under the close meshes of the curtain, is sufficiently trying. According to another account, a Cambodian maiden at puberty is said to ‘enter into the shade.’ During her retirement, which, according to the rank and position of her family, may last any time from a few days to several years, she has to observe a number of rules, such as not to be seen by a strange man, not to eat flesh or fish, and so on. She goes nowhere, not even to the pagoda. But this state of seclusion is discontinued during eclipses; at such times she goes forth and pays her devotions to the monster who is supposed to cause eclipses by catching the heavenly bodies between his teeth. This permission to break her rule of retirement and appear abroad during an eclipse seems to shew how literally the injunction is interpreted which forbids maidens entering on womanhood to look upon the sun.”

—J. G. Frazer, Balder the Beautiful, part 1 (The Golden Bough, vol. X, 1913, p. 70)

20. Is there a fear your character wants to learn to overcome?

10. Is there a skill your character doesn’t know they’re bad at?

For whoever you want!

What is a habit your character has that others might find cute?

Iliopsoas who regularly will untie, brush, then re-tie her hair. It's actually a habit I stole from one of my close friends because I found the habit cute.

Is there a fear your character wants to learn to overcome?

Menarche wants to free herself from the fear of guilt and stagnation. This is part of the reason she goes on her long walk to everywhere, even raising people from the dead to join her. Maybe if she runs from it all and does kindness in the process, it'll be okay again.

Is there a skill your character doesn't know they're bad at?

Alisha Srivastava,

How to wash blood out of bedding sheets

How to wash blood out of clothes

How to google something without sounding like a serial killer

Futaba slammed her laptop shut in frustration, turning around to view her empty bed again. The blood, thankfully, had not gotten into the mattress. But it did soil her underwear. And pajama pants. And sheets. 

And her pride. 

Because she knew that she was going to have to ask for help, probably from Sojiro, and she really didn’t want to. This was a GIRL thing if the source of her blood was anything to go by. And as much as she trusted Sojiro, this was not something she wanted to gross him out with. She remembered the Bra Incident all too well. Besides, Sojiro was busy anyway, running the cafe and junk. 

But she definitely needed help with this. Last time she trusted Google on something related to her health, she ended up running to Sojiro in tears, thinking she was going to die. 

So, who to turn to?

Futaba started mentally making a list of names as she carried off her sheets to the washing machine. Ann would certainly be the most casual about it, maybe too much for her liking. Makoto would be caring and empathetic, but Futaba held her too high in respect. She didn’t want to embarrass herself like that and make herself look dumb or weak. Haru would probably relate the most, but that might make things awkward for everyone. No, scratch that, it’s going to be embarrassing for everyone no matter what. 

She really didn’t want to ask any of her Phantom Thief friends for help, but...she really didn’t have a choice. It was either them, who all would’ve had experience with this, Sojiro, who she didn’t want to bother with the knowledge of what was happening, saving herself the embarrassment of the conversation, or a boy, who would make this excessively embarrassing, one way or another. 

It was in times like these Futaba wished that she hadn’t accidentally driven away some of Sojiro’s lady friends. One of them would have been able to help with these kinds of things.

Huffing exhaustedly, Futaba pulled out her phone and started typing, still in disbelief as to the fact she needed to do this.

Futaba: girl thing

Futaba: need help 

Futaba: please

Makoto: Sure.

Ann: Ok.

Haru: With what?

Haru: Need anything from the store?

Futaba: Yes

Haru: Ok, what?

Futaba: …

Futaba: Bleach?

Futaba: For...my laundry?

Ann: Oh. 

Ann: Oh honey. 

Haru: Say no more, I’ll be right over.

Makoto: Any pain? 

Futaba: No.

Makoto: Aren’t you the lucky one.

Futaba: Why, is that normal?

Makoto: Yes. 

Haru: Very.

Ann: And it suuuuuucks.

Makoto: Ann.

Ann: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

Ann: I can feel the cramps just from thinking about them.

Ann: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh. 

Haru: I’ll bring ice cream.

Haru: Ice cream always helps.

Futaba: I’ll take your word on that.

Some minutes later, the women all met up in front of the Sakura residence, each carrying a plastic bag full of something. “Futaba-chan? We’re here.”, Haru called out after ringing the doorbell. “It’s open!”, a familiar young voice called out from inside. Futaba was not going to go out in public in this kind of a mess. No siree. 

The three women took off their shoes and stepped inside, setting their store bags on the table in the hall. They made it a few steps down the hall before seeing the red-faced ginger, looking down in embarrassment. Ann had no hesitation in pulling her into a tight hug. “It sucks.”, Sakura mumbled, getting a sympathetic nod from the group. “I know. I know. Every month I smite whoever’s responsible for it.”, Takamaki remarked, looking up. The retort got a chuckle from their younger, who followed with “Think I may join you.” 

“So, what’s all this?”, Futaba asked, finally noticing the bags. “Just a few things we knew you’d need.”, Makoto answered as Futaba pulled them out and inspected them. Pads, tampons, pain relief medicine, and ice cream. “Th-Thank you. I’m sorry for bothering you all about this, I know it’s super weird and awkward--”, Futaba started apologizing, quickly putting the contents back in the bags and taking them. “Don’t worry. I’m just happy you trusted someone enough to ask for help.”, Makoto interrupted with a kind smile.

“Yeah, that makes you better than me. I tried to hide it out of denial and ended up getting a lecture from the middle school nurse, who I’d never seen before. Not the person I’d wanna talk about it with.”, Ann recalled aloud as Sakura moved to the bathroom. Nijima nodded in understanding. “I ended up stealing one of Sae’s tampons, hoping to figure out how to use it. That...was not one of my best days.”, she admitted, cheeks flushing in secondhand embarrassment.  

“My caretakers found me trying to wash the blood off my clothes. They practically dragged me to my father’s office, demanding to learn where it came from. They really didn’t like the answer.”, Haru remembered, giggling slightly at the memory of their expressions. They cringed at each other’s memories, before laughing at how awful they were. “Well, it was either you or Sojiro. And I learned last time that he was not the greatest option on ‘girl stuff’ topics. Like, I know he means well, but it’s so humiliating. He’s my dad, I can’t talk to him about this weird stuff! It’d gross him out!”, Futaba defended as she returned. 

“Hey, us Phantom Thief girlfriends stick together.”, Ann encouraged with a smile that was almost physically impossible for Futaba not to echo. “Yeah. Ok.” 

“Alright, so the store I went to only sold gallon-sized ice cream, so now we have too much.”, Haru brought up, looking back at the carton she had bought. “Oh man, that’s a shame.”, Makoto remarked, already knowing what she was implying. “Yeah. It’s also a shame that I found more of those chick-flicks that Ann just can’t get enough of.”, Futaba joined in, already moving to the shelves. “Hey! You cried last time too!”, she defended, taking her seat on the couch. “I’ll get the tea ready.”, Haru announced, already moving to the kitchen. “Speaking of tea, I’ve got some.”, Makoto thought aloud, recalling some things she overheard in the school hallways. “Well don’t just leave us here in anticipation! Spill.”, Futaba excitedly demanded.   

The textbook defines menarche as the onset of menstruation (Miller, 73). The first picture was taken earlier in the week in my dorm room. It is a picture of some of the essentials a woman may need when she is on her period. The boxes include supplies used during a period, and the chocolate is an essential resource to get through one's period. The reason I chose to do Menarche, and menstruation as a whole, is because of the stigma of talking about menstruation and the fact that it is a taboo topic. Many girls reach menarche in their early teens and experience it until they are around 51 years old, when they reach menopause. When working in the field, an anthropologist may want to analyze the stigma behind menarche and menstruation in different cultures, and the rights of women to the resources they need during menstruation. The textbook also discusses how girls in high-income countries usually reached menarche earlier than girls in low-income countries, and an anthropologist could research the reasons behind this.
