Is your character on the Student Council? Sure!
If yes, what does your character think of the student council president? She respects the older Spican, but prefers a more laid back view of life, rather than making everything about bringing down Old Lady Miator anyway? Plus, its not hard to notice Shokas way with the ladies, maybe she could learn a few things.
Please explain your character's personality in 200 words or more:
She's laid back, generous,but with a playful sense of competition when it comes to swimming. Normally she won't poke her nose where it doesn't belong, unless doing so would be fun. She makes crazy decisions without thinking them through and sometimes gets herself injured. She likes to flirt, but in a more innocent way, rather than being interested in what's under another girls skirt, she's interested in what drives them, what their passions are, and being in the council makes her all the more entitled to bring these things out more for students to enjoy.
Her favorite snack is Takoyaki favorite food is fish fried, baked, or sushi. For dessert she likes pudding and yogurt or smoothies. But she'll eat anything that looks good and frequently attends Lulims Host Club meetings of for no other reason than to sample the food, though for some reason these girls like to watch her eat. She takes advantage of the audience to talk about swimming, which is her passion. Though her name is Nami, and she doesn't mind going by her given name, she prefers to be called Konosuke, choosing the name of her favorite competing swim champion from her old school as her own.
Sometimes she can be stubborn or pushy, but she doesn't mean to be, it's all in good fun right?
What does you character think of the Etoile position as a whole?
It's cool you know? She'd like to have a cute uke at her side too, who wouldn't want to be loved that much? And having to job as well as the spotlight has to look good on a resume. It's impressive.
Does your character want to be an Etoile someday?
Nah, she wouldn't want all the responsibility. But if she had someone special who wanted to, she would....for them....and for the competition.
What does your character think of the current etoiles? She definitely wants to be coyotes friend. Hockey? Canada? Sports? They'd get along just fine. Her girl friend seems to be a mouse, Konosuke might have fun picking on her, or watching her react to a friendly game of air hockey between the seme etoile and herself.
What does your character think of the other schools? She does think of Miator as an old lady, and all their students are old ladies in training. Spica is obviously the school for cool kids would lulim is the fun loving little sister full of cute, funny, creative admirers.
~History~
Please write in 100 words or more your character's history before she came to Spica.
History before Astraea Hill:
Born to a wealthy family in Canada, she grew up watching her dad train would-be olympiads and learned right from the start that sports and competing were a way of life. She had a lot of fun watching her dad train, and in elementary school, it was discovered she had a talent for swimming competitively. It was no question that her dad wanted to train her, but her mother would have none of it. As much as she repected and admired her husbands way of training winners, she wanted her daughter to have a mostly normal life as a school girl. So things continued as usual for a while, with her dad giving her lessons "just for fun". By middle school, she was fluent in French, English and of course Japanese and was quite popular. She joined the swim team and cut her hair so it wouldn't get in the way, which increased her popularity.
However, while Nami was a rising star, her father was losing his touch. After his last pupil had gotten terribly injured attempting something under his instruction, he had trouble finding work. They moved back to Japan so her father could get himself back together while working as a Coach at a public school. She attended this school for a while, but her father felt that these "ordinary students" where bringing her down and she needed to be around other strong role models, and in a position where she could be a role model as well. So with that, she was sent off to St. Spica.
First Year: In Canada, turning heads as the fastest 12 year old freestyler. She was given the nickname "red mermaid"
Second Year:In Canada, cutting her hair and becoming the most popular girl on the swim team and adapting the name "Konosuke" as her own, after her favorite swimmer.
Third Year: In Japan adjusting to her new life and culture, but still popular and winning scholarships from her swimming competitions.
Fourth Year:Starting life on Astraea Hill, so far she'd been quick to join the spotlight. We'll see how it goes!
Fifth Year:
Sixth Year:
Sample Post:
The feeling of the water rushing around her made her feel so free, the girls nearby cheered her on, and even though there was someone feircely gaining on her in the next lane, she felt like she was just having fun. She hit the wall and burst from the water, droplets sparkling around her.
"Kyaaaa! Konosuka-sama, you won!" Shouted many of the on lookers, she looked to her blue haired opponent and offered a hand,
"Good race?" She said with a wink.
The other girl smiled and returned the high five, "Yeah." other other girl left the pool alone, with her dignity in tact. Konosuke however, exited the pool and was handed a towel and completed about a hundred times but the 20 or so different girls around her. She smiled at them, thanking them and soaking in their admiration, but really, she'd rather have been alone to swim in silence.
It was too cold to swim at the lake, but still, maybe she could come back later, maybe after curfew and swim. It couldn't hurt right? She could say it was extra practice for something.
White Spica-embroidered towel around her neck, she sat on one of the lounges, still surrounded by admirers. Just then one of them shot her hands out with a folded bit of paper, looking embarrassed and then ran away.
"What's it say Kyosuke-sama?" asked several of the girls. She peeked at the message, the girl wanted to meet alone.
"Ah, it appears I am needed somewhere for something important." Many of the girls groaned as she sat up, drying her hair. "Don't worry, I'll be here tomorrow."
And she left them at the chair to dress.
The skirted uniform felt strange, such a short skirt, but even so she made her way to the Corral where the girl had wanted to meet. Ah it was a love confession, she knew it the moment she saw the girl standing there, looking so nervous. She sighed and put a hand through her hair.
She approached the girl,
"Hey," she said with a smile,
"H-hi, Konosuke-sama. I..I wanted to meet you here to...to tell you that I love you and I think you're really talented!" She close her eyes tight and said everything as fast as she could. Konosuke couldn't help blushing, I mean, what a compliment! But...
"Thank you!" she said kindly, smiling through the blush, the girl looked at her expectantly, "Your continued support is really appreciated. See you tomorrow?"
She turned to leave, knowing she was giving the impression she hadn't understood what the girl was really saying. She left the poor thing standing there rethinking her confession. Awkwardly, she was eager to escape, strangers did confess their feelings from time to time, but they were strangers, how else should she react? She wanted to go somewhere to be alone for a moment, and, even though it was autumn, sitting at the lake shore didn't sound like a bad idea after all.
