She tends to wear mid length pastel dresses, matching her hair clips to the outfit. But she either pairs these with converse or army style boots, and a baggy blue hoodie she stole from her older sister.
The only jeans she wears are her white and pale blue ones, matched with her favourite tops, and this is the only time she wears ballet flats.
Her bag for outside of class is a leather dark brown book bag, with various buttons and pins added to it whenever she feels the situation warrants it.

Is your character on the Student Council? No
If yes, what does your character think of the student council president? Please answer this because if your character is on the student council, then she would know who she is and would have an opinion of her. If you don't know, then click the Etoiles tab in the side bar, click her avatar, read her profile and then answer this question.
Please explain your character's personality in 200 words or more:
Kai likes being happy, or presenting herself as such. She likes being domestic, hence her choice in activities, mostly due to her sister who taught her the basics. Her favourite part of cooking is baking, mostly because it was easier to pass off as a gift than anything else.
She generally gets embarrassed when meeting new people although this can soon turn to enthusiasm, although she tends to get really quiet if unsure of herself. Although most people she met before Le Rim were adults and friends of the family, she got slightly better at Le Rim.
She tends to ignore her surroundings, not for anything other than getting to focused on one thing, for example feeding birds so she could take pictures, or finishing her book while walking around. Which kind of what lead her to fall for the romance of things, although she is almost convinced she is in the supporting cast, thanks to her hair.
She doesn't talk about her family much, mostly wary that her family might do to her what they did to her sister. She was silently glad at being sent to Lulim after realising the girls there mostly were like her, and she began to relax more in her second year.
She presents very feminine and often acts up to it due to her upbringing and the expectations, but being at Lulim allowed her to relax from the rigid view of femininity that she believed before, especially once she met Spica students who were so different. Hence her relaxing into wearing jeans even if she had to have them in pastels.
What does you character think of the Etoile position as a whole? She loves it, likening it to her romance books.
Does your character want to be an Etoile someday? It would be a dream but she doesn't think she can.
What does your character think of the current etoiles? Kai rather likes Hiroko, even if she rarely spoke to the etoile. Being a year younger she never talked to her, but she was one of those whom Kai liked in first year after seeing her interacting.
Of course Coyote kind of adds to this, with the two looking very much like the knight and princess in her books, although she shrinks away a bit from contact.
What does your character think of the other schools? She likes the other schools, her school has no real rivalry and she likes the diversity, although Spica used to scare her a bit with teaching women to be independent and in her mind more masculine but she grew out of that in second year.
~History~
Please write in 100 words or more your character's history before she came to Lulim.
History before Astraea Hill:
Kai was brought up mostly by her older sister, who was 8 years older, her parents both away and out too late for her to really see them other than important functions. They were important enough that they set up many marriage meetings for her sister Usagi, and it was the year before Usagi married that they shipped Kai off to Lulim for her first year, hoping to stop her dependence.
She was mostly home schooled, along with her sister, by an elderly woman who lived in house and didn't really allow them outside, but at least taught proper etiquette even if Kai found little use for it.
She had never really been outside of the city before Asteria Hill, having only seen the sheer amount of trees and grass in movies and read about it in books.
(Below are the sections for your character's history during her time on Astraea Hill. If you are joining as a first year, you do not have to fill out the sections below until the end of the year. If you are joining as any other year please make up a history for any years before her current year, even if she was attending another campus. If you have already played your character here on SPRP for a year or more (in rp time), please add any events you role played to the appropriate history section. Any years you have not yet played, you may leave blank, but you will fill them out when your character reaches that year in school.
First Year: Mostly she kept to herself due to being around people her age, and watched. She was sent home for a couple of weeks in the middle of the year due to her sister demanding her be at her wedding, and that was the first time she had been to one of the islands but she came back a bit more open to the others around her. Although she made friends with a couple of people she opted to go home for the summer, at her father's command leaving her unable to socialise during this time.
Second Year: The first thing she did was sign herself up to clubs, indulging herself in the book club, while the others she saw as personally needed. This was the year she got into photography including the cherry blossoms and the girls of Asteria Hill, along with anything she deemed pretty. Although she made sure they knew first. She is just about to go into third year, and is staying over the summer this time.

Sample Post:
Kai looked blankly down at the sheet of paper she had been using for her homework, the title glaring back at her along with the rest of the page which was as blank as her stair. She was sitting by the pond rather than inside, the sound of the water and the occasional chattering of fellow students calming her nerves. Although today it did not appear to be helping much.
She huffed picking up her book and flicking through it hoping to get some idea of what to do. Her hand moved up to adjust the flower clips that threatened to fall from her hair, as her teeth worried at her lower lip. Admittedly she had only been looking at the page for a few minutes but it did feel like hours.
Kai looked up to see a pretty bird on the ground and her face lit up in a bright smile. Carefully her work was placed beside her, and her camera was brought up, as she slowly crawled closer to the bird hoping not to frighten it, and silently glad no one else was around to see her.
"Hello little birdie, please let me take your picture?" Her voice was soft and calming as she could make it, smiling as the bird turned towards her and she snapped the picture, giggling as she immediately pulled up the picture to stare at it.
How did you find our website? I was googling Strawberry Panic roleplay and this was the best from what I could see, and I liked it.
