Name: Miyako Miyashita (Dark Chocolate)
School Attending: Spica
Age/ Year in School: (choose one below)
15/Fourth Year
~ Appearance ~
Face Claim: Shinka Nibutani/Chuunibyou
Hair Color: Light brown
Hairstyle: Usually hanging straight down to the middle of her back with a side ponytail. Sometimes she wears a hair clip in the front to decorate her bangs and look cute, but this will go away on 'missions'. On 'missions' she'll wear her hair as usual, but with a strip of fabric tied around her forehead as a headband.
Eye Color: Miyako has expressive brown eyes which are subtly lighter in tone from her hair. Depending on the lighting they can appear more amber than brown.
Height: 5'6"
What kind of clothes does you character wear when she's not in uniform? other than her school uniform, Miya's wardrobe consists mostly of somewhat girly clothes like flouncey skirts, close fitting tops or dresses. She always wears tall socks or stockings because she's embarrassed by how pale her legs are no matter what she says to the contrary. Often she can be spotted with a veil on her head, jeweled bracelet and hair accessory as part of her self-imposed identity. Sometimes she'll don sturdy pants or cargo shorts with a t-shirt and fishing vest full of trinkets she claims are magical when there's a 'mission' to undertake.
What Sports/activities is you character involved in? You may choose "none" or a maximum of three from the list below.
None so far other than the 'Order' she says she works for.
Is your character on the Student Council? - No
If yes, what does your character think of the student council president?
Please explain your character's personality in 200 words or more:
Interactions with other people are always at least partially interpreted through Miya's delusion of being a long-term magic user who's also a commando of some kind. She's constantly defining people as being part of some conspiracy against her 'Order' or as being caught in the crossfire of the shadow war between organizations. She's naturally inquisitive though and tries to eavesdrop on others' conversations, observe their behavior and even follow them if she feels it's necessary. Though she is fairly desperate to make connections to others she's afraid of being hurt and puts up a front to excuse her shyness. Miya is actually very supportive and kindhearted to the people who get to know her (usually by putting up with her delusion) and will try to help despite having little experience at times.
She does realize in part that her delusions aren't real, but they provide her with a way to avoid difficult events which have dotted her life in the past. When confronted with something she'd rather not deal with she'll make something up as an excuse which is hardly based in reality. Miya feels safer being who she makes herself to be than who she actually is. She's also apt to jump in when there's a perceived injustice, since she doesn't want other people to go through such things like she thinks she did.
What does you character think of the Etoile position as a whole? An old position created through the union of angelic beings, faeries and spirits so that two people in love could be protected by their joint purifying magics. Obviously the forces of darkness would seek to destroy the happy union such girls would enjoy. As a 400-year old magic user she must do what she can to prevent those forces from interfering in the lives of mundanes.
Does your character want to be an Etoile someday? This isn't a position that a girl such as herself should dare to strive for. It would overload the spiritual magic vortexes and lay lines to such a degree that pure devils might emerge from the bowels of their dimension and attack! For the safety of of the girls on the hill she must not run.
What does your character think of the current etoiles? All Miya has seen are pictures, but she has consulted the spirits as to their natures. Coyote is a brave sort who would certainly fight the dark powers and may have powers of her own. Hiroko is of faerie blood if not a faerie herself, which means she must be protected! This is worth further investigation.
What does your character think of the other schools? Miator's uniforms are black.. and black is an energy type which fuels the magics of the dark forces. It's not safe to assume that Miator is dark itself but there may be girls within its walls which are enemies of the Order. Spica may also be a haven for the dark forces, but it's not as apparent. Regardless Miya is vigilant against anyone who seems suspicious!
~History~
Please write in 100 words or more your character's history before she came to Spica.
History before Astraea Hill: Coming from a well off family with both parents working, Miya's childhood experience was a bit difficult. She never understood just why her parents were never around and took to blaming herself for their schedule. Maybe they just didn't want to spend time with her? Miya tried everything she could to impress them, using her imagination and creativity to rearrange things in their room or do household chores. Often this proved more destructive than the parents wished and they lectured her a little too harshly once. From that day forward Miya decided her parents might not be her parents, unable to deal with the possibility that they honestly didn't like her. From this misinterpretation of a misinterpretation she developed the theory that the parents had been replaced by clones or spies.
That fiction laid the groundwork for an evolving fiction she created for herself in order to give some value to her existence. Usually a shy girl she made herself into a commando who had practiced magic for 400 years. She could speak to spirits and was engaged in an ongoing watch against the forces of darkness. In reality she was an awkward girl who didn't feel valued and tried to make herself exceptional.
Throughout elementary and middle school she displayed a talent for dance and gymnastics thanks to the influence of her big sister. She was brought to tryouts for a national level competition by her sister, qualified but then hurt herself while following someone inside a cardboard box. The middle school student continued to practice even though she was thought of as pretty strange by teammates. Believing a private school was what she needed to get straightened out, her parents arranged for her to transfer into Spica, a school they knew had a good reputation for helping make strong independent ladies.
Sample Post: So the day had come at last. Rumors had been floating about the ethereal grape vine for weeks now that a move was imminent. The spirits heard things which mortal ears could neither hear nor understand; a magician who had lived for 400 years was certainly an exception. Those automated beings claiming to be her parents had let slip a few words here and there that had betrayed their plot to the invisible forces on her side. Miya-Miya knew that she was being exiled from the inner sanctum of the enemy's local operations, though she hadn't caught just where she was headed. Almost certainly they would have preferred to send her to some stronghold up in the mountains warded with dark magics so that she couldn't interfere with plans any longer. Instead she'd been able to manipulate their wills with the help of her spirit allies, for no such thing had come up at all. As the automated coach pulled up to the curb she saw the beautiful hill rising before her in the autumnal calm. Surely this was not what the enemy wished to use in order to contain her.
"Miyako, this will be your new home for now," spoke the clonebot impersonating her mother.
"Understood," Miya responded, stepping out of the coach and taking her bag by its handle. The infiltration had begun!
