Appearance: Normal clothes and Captain America costume
Personality:
First and foremost, Steve is a good man. He’s honest, kind, and brave, and he wants to do the right thing just because it is the right thing to do. Always willing to lend a helping hand, Steve is usually looked upon as a boy scout. In fact, he’s probably the type to help old women cross the street and pick up garbage off the ground. It is because of his good traits that he was chosen to be the first super soldier for the United States army. Steve knows the real value of strength and knows what it means to be strong, mainly due to how weak he was growing up. Dr. Erskine, the creator of the serum, stated that “a weak man knows that value of strength and knows compassion.”
Before Steve was injected with the super soldier serum, he was a short, thin, and sickly young man who was routinely beaten up by bullies. Because of his rough treatment, he absolutely cannot stand bullies or any kind of injustice done to others. In fact, the main reason why he wanted to join the World War II effort was not because he wanted to kill people, but because he dislikes bullies, no matter where they come from. His desire to protect the innocent rather than kill others is evident in the very weapon he wields: Steve mainly uses a shield to fight his battles. Steve never uses his illnesses as an excuse either; he wanted to enlist and fight like all of the other soldiers in the war. He feels that there is no reason for him to do any less than that.
However, his poor health and weak body caused him to be rejected by the recruitment center multiple times. Despite this, he never gave up, which is another significant trait of Captain America. No matter the odds or how difficult the task or foe may seem, Steve is not the type to surrender even when he’s beaten into submission. He’s most likely one of the bravest people that anyone can ever meet. When he has a goal in mind, he will not back down. Sometimes, Steve even breaks the law to do this, like when he lied about his place of birth on the enlistment forms. Likewise, he will never run away from a fight, especially if he had to sacrifice his core values and beliefs. His best friend, Bucky Barnes, often stated that he was “too dumb to run away from a fight.” He’s extremely stubborn, which may annoy others that interact with him.
His role as Captain America started off as a propaganda tool. He raised the sale of war bonds, and while he was a little happy to be helping out, Steve only considered himself to be a dancing monkey. He still wanted to be on the real front lines instead of parading around in a ridiculous outfit with dancing girls by his side. While the outfit did eventually grow on him, Steve could have done without the outfit and media attention he gained from his role.
As a leader, Steve likes to plan ahead when it comes to missions. He built his own team known as the Howling Commandos and effectively led them in each battle. His leadership is why they were so successful in each mission against HYDRA, the science division of the Nazis. At all times, Steve doesn’t mind putting himself in danger and is willing to risk his life for the safety of others. For instance, he and his team were able to successfully infiltrate Red Skull’s final base by using him as bait. Even during battle, he’s able to modify his strategy to suit the conditions of battle, which is mainly shown in the battle against Loki in the Avengers. He also knows when to put aside his own personal differences or problems aside to work with an ally, like when he cooperated with Tony Stark despite his initial dislike of him. Being a calm tactical leader is one of Steve’s biggest strengths.
Despite being considered a hero by many, Steve remains humble and does not brag about his accomplishments. He thinks that there is nothing special about him and he often states that he’s “just a kid from Brooklyn.” He’s not in the military to gain fame or earn promotions, since all he wants is to serve his country and help out in the battlefield. He also holds a lot of respect for the other soldiers and people fighting along with him. Even though Steve is a soldier, he’s not a perfect one. He will not always follow orders if he suspects that they’re morally wrong or not the right thing to do. For instance, in the Avengers, he willingly snooped around the Helicarrier to find more information.
However, he still can be very reckless, especially if the safety of a friend is in jeopardy. When Bucky Barnes and hundreds of soldiers were held captive in a HYDRA base, Steve was willing to walk all the way there from Italy just to reach the base. Although he received help from Peggy Carter and Howard Stark in the end, this instance of invading a HYDRA base all by himself with no real plan shows his recklessness. Furthermore, Steve takes his duty very seriously, especially if it involves the lives of others. He’s usually very serious when he’s on missions, which may make him seem like a stick-in-the-mud to others. Most of this is evident in the interaction between Tony and Steve in the Avengers, where Steve does not like Tony’s attitude. Despite this, he still knows the appropriate time to celebrate and isn’t against people drinking and having fun after a victory.
While Steve is always polite to the people around him, it takes some time for him to actually open up. His sense of humor shows up and he’s even a bit of a wisecrack sometimes, like when he told Bucky that “he was taking all the stupid with him.” Because he was so small and often picked on, Steve didn’t make many other friends otherwise. His interactions with women are even worse, and he still feels awkward around most of them even after he becomes Captain America.

Characters Name: Southern Italy | Italy Romano | Lovino Vargas
Age: 22-23 in appearance, but technically as old as the half of Italy he represents.
Canon Point: Modern era, May 2012
Species: Embodiment of a (half)nation
Gender: Male
Orientation: Very outwardly heterosexual. His love for the ladies is canon and repeatedly mentioned.
History: The Nation | The Character
Appearance: Southern Italy appears as a young man with dark brown hair, slightly taller than average height (that is to say, taller than his younger brother, but shorter than Germany), and a solid yet lean build. His hair parts to the right, and one particularly stubborn curl hangs to the left side of his head. Most of the time, he'll either be frowning or looking disinterested in general. Prefers reds and dark browns in his clothing. Picture for you!
Personality: Romano is graced with all the personality of a PMSing woman.
On even a good day, he appears to be sulking or generally upset about something, when on the inside he may really be neither. A frown is his default expression.
Throughout the majority of canon, the only instances he's actually smiled were times he was plotting revenge on Germany, always to no avail. There are times when he can say the cruelest things, other times he’s just too embarrassed to be honest, so a harsh comeback is the easiest way for him to reply and feel in control of the situation.
He has a foul mouth to accompany his sour attitude. His favorite words are “Bastard”, “Dick”, and “Asshole”. Even as a little nation, he constantly cursed and berated his caretakers, including Spain, whose nickname ranged from ‘Bastard’ to ‘Jerk’ depending on Romano’s mood. Belgium was an exception to his vulgarity, and likely the reason he tends to prefer the company of women later in his life. She was one of the few women he had contact with and he clearly preferred her to the stupid idiot men. Spain later grew on him as well, but more because he was protective of Romano and he did genuinely care about him enough to rescue him from bad people (Turkey, France). He first thought Spain was only protective because of who Romano was-- the descendent of the Roman Empire, an asset to collect. Actually, this was probably the accurate reasoning behind Spain's initial concerns, but Romano came to care less about that stuff as long as he kept keeping him safe and doting on him. It's also worthwhile to note that when he was younger, Romano had the disease called Choreia, which was a major cause for his clumsiness. Spain apparently cured him of this ailment by playing a tune on his guitar that made little Romano dance a tarantella. Unfortunately, a lot of the clumsiness remained.
His bad behavior is only encouraged further with influence from the mafia, even if he and they were never on good terms because of the harm they've done to his economy (which pretty much relates directly to his health). He views the world as a dark place because of the way his people live, constantly struggling against crime and poverty, and especially from pressure from the North. These things are very close to his heart. His view on the world is very biased: everyone is out to get him, so he has to keep on his emotional and physical defense.
He’s a bit spoiled and usually expects to get his way if he whines enough, though this doesn’t happen as often as he’d like. He avoids hard labor like the plague and would prefer to be tending to plants or cooking or eating or sleeping. His siesta is serious business and he almost always sleeps naked and alone, with a few female exceptions.
Headcanon alert: He is still a bit sensitive when hearing his brother referred to as simply 'Italy', as if the speaker refuses to acknowledge that Romano is very much a part of Italy as well. For this reason, he makes a point to call North Italy 'Veneziano'. To be fair, they are both Italy, two parts of a whole. He'd really like for his brother to correct people when they name him incorrectly, but unfortunately, it doesn't happen.
As per the Italian stereotype presented in the webcomics and anime, he is a coward: he may start fights, but most of the time he will run away from them or trip on his way in; a flirt: normally, he only flirts with pretty women and acts abrasive to men; and a lover of good food and wine: self-explanatory.
He’s deathly afraid of many things, despite his admirable attempts to seem brave. If he's pushed hard enough, or someone he cares for is in trouble, he may be able to look past his fears and do what needs to be done.
Romano also thinks perverts like France need to go eat bullets and die.
Abilites: He's connected to the Southern half of Italy to the point that changes in its economy reflect in his wellness or lack thereof. Romano has a deep connection with the dark underbelly of Italy, moreso than his brother, and also has more experience with thugs and the like. Beat-downs, interogations, wielding huge guns for absolutely no reason at all other than intimidation, theft, you name the crime, he probably knows all about it; how to perform it and how to intervene and live. Of course, before, being a Nation came with something akin to immortality and his life hasn't been something to really worry about... mostly. He can also cook an awesome pasta and/or pizza.

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Riko Aida
Age: 17
Canon: Kuroko no Basuke
Canon Point: Chapter 145, before the Seirin-Yousen match
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Orientation: Heterosexual. She even volunteers to reward her team with a kiss if they win, though that sort of backfires horribly.
History: Over here!
Appearance: What a cutie. Her hair's a little longer, though, since she decided to grow it out until the Winter Cup had ended.
Personality: The basis of Riko's personality is that she very much does not like a defeatist attitude. When she's approached to coach Seirin's forming basketball team, she initially refuses, because she's seen that in the presence of a strong team like Teikou, other teams have already given up. And she refuses to coach a team that isn't prepared to manifest the effort and determination needed to win, even in the face of overwhelming odds. In order to test the freshmen's resolve, she tells them that they have to announce their goals on top of the roof during morning assembly-- and if they fail to meet them, then they have to confess naked to the girl they like. And she's serious. She's merciless when it comes to training her team, often doubling or tripling their practice, or giving the entire team a good slap across the face when the starters ask her to hit them out of their funk.
Which brings us to Riko's misfortune with her physical appearance. She's been called cute before, but it's also been claimed that she lacks sex appeal, and she gets extreme blows to her self-esteem when her team reacts unfavorably towards her incentive of kissing them for winning a game, and when Kagami's former basketball teacher mistakes Riko for an elementary school kid because of her small chest. She's definitely jealous of Momoi (and her F-cups), and if anyone in her team is unlucky enough to get caught staring, she's more than willing to put them through more Training Hell as punishment. And when someone on a rival team insults her status as an attractive woman, she cheerfully signs to her team to slaughter them immediately. Riko does not take kindly to insults.
Lastly, while she works her team hard, Riko's just as tough on herself. Her dad often has to come into her room to tell her to go to sleep, since she stays up late working on strategies and schedules, and she still makes enough time to coach the basketball team, get good grades, and be vice president of the student council. Despite her failure at cooking, she persists and ends up with her fingers plastered in band-aids, something she tries to hide. The one time she truly falters is when she berates herself for not being a good enough coach to fully hone her team to their strongest, and she hates that she's sending an injured player back out to play. Of course, then she's motivated by a few words from Kagami, because he reminds her that she's been putting a lot into supporting them and that it's thanks to her efforts that they're even doing this well. In the end, she really just wants the best for Seirin, and she'll push her team and herself to get there.
But she's still a girl, so expect to see her with cute kittens on her phone or to have a squealing fit over the team mascot, a husky puppy. It's just that this girl can pull wrestling moves on you or make you regret ever pissing her off, and she's a lot better motivating by powerful words and a gung-ho attitude than she is at acting cutesy.
Abilities: As a coach, she's very skilled in coming up with training schedules and preparing Seirin for their matches, which includes forming play styles, and thoroughly analyzing opposing teams. She still advises during matches and is on hand to tape injuries and offer incredibly painful but highly effective massages. Her main ability is her Scan, though. By looking at a person's body (shirtless being the easiest), Riko can accurately read their strengths and weaknesses. Put simply as possible, "By looking at someone's body), that girl's eyes can see all its physical abilities in numerical values." It not only helps her see potential and promising players, but she's also the first to notice if something's wrong with a player. She can tell when Kagami's favoring one leg or putting too much strain on himself, for example. And this ability includes being able to determine height and weight, what parts of the body need work, etc. This is a skill she cultivated from spending her childhood at her father's gym, looking at data and the athletes.
Also, she's violent. Don't think that she won't use wrestling moves on you for being difficult.
Other: Her cooking is kind of lethal, if she's left unmonitored for more than three seconds. It's kind of amazing how bad she is at it, even when she's walked through it. And she is apparently also very good at knitting and crocheting.
SAMPLES
First Person: From the Sick Day Meme
Third Person:
It wasn't so much the fact that she'd woken up in a lawn chair with the keys to a new house and hopefully housemates who wouldn't harbor any of her father's perverted or overprotective tendencies. It wasn't even so much the fact that she'd supposedly been whisked away to a magical neighborhood because some creepy guy wanted people to live in it-- or that had been what she'd surmised, anyway. No, what truly bothered Riko was that, if she had no way of getting home, that left Seirin without a coach. More accurately, that left Seirin in the hands of a bunch of high school boys who could very easily get off-track without her around to ensure that they kept up the training.
More sentimentally, she didn't like the idea of being the only one not there for the Winter Cup, after she'd seen her team through to this point. And she wasn't the ace that Kagami was, nor was she a member of the Generation of Miracles. But hadn't Kagami himself told her that she'd done plenty for them? Hadn't Hyuuga dragged the team back to the bench to have Riko slap some sense into all of them? She couldn't slack off or feel sorry for herself; if she had some extra time on her hands now, better to devote it to working on training ideas, so that when she saw her team again, she could whip them back into shape immediately. She could even use the backs of the papers she'd found herself piled with to jot down and refine a few ideas until she could find a store and get some proper notebooks.
Until the entire team got here or she went back home - and probably beyond that - Riko wasn't going to sit back on a lawn and sunbathe.
And if nothing else, she'd get a reprieve from her father standing in her doorway and telling her not to ruin her skin by staying up too late. There was one bright side already.

She still advises during matches and is on hand to tape injuries and offer incredibly painful but highly effective massages. Her main ability is her Scan, though. By looking at a person's body (shirtless being the easiest), Riko can accurately read their strengths and weaknesses. Put simply as possible, "By looking at someone's body), that girl's eyes can see all its physical abilities in numerical values." It not only helps her see potential and promising players, but she's also the first to notice if something's wrong with a player. She can tell when Kagami's favoring one leg or putting too much strain on himself, for example. And this ability includes being able to determine height and weight, what parts of the body need work, etc. This is a skill she cultivated from spending her childhood at her father's gym, looking at data and the athletes.
Also, she's violent. Don't think that she won't use wrestling moves on you for being difficult.
Other: Her cooking is kind of lethal, if she's left unmonitored for more than three seconds. It's kind of amazing how bad she is at it, even when she's walked through it. And she is apparently also very good at knitting and crocheting.
SAMPLES
First Person: From the Sick Day Meme
Third Person:
It wasn't so much the fact that she'd woken up in a lawn chair with the keys to a new house and hopefully housemates who wouldn't harbor any of her father's perverted or overprotective tendencies. It wasn't even so much the fact that she'd supposedly been whisked away to a magical neighborhood because some creepy guy wanted people to live in it-- or that had been what she'd surmised, anyway. No, what truly bothered Riko was that, if she had no way of getting home, that left Seirin without a coach. More accurately, that left Seirin in the hands of a bunch of high school boys who could very easily get off-track without her around to ensure that they kept up the training.
More sentimentally, she didn't like the idea of being the only one not there for the Winter Cup, after she'd seen her team through to this point. And she wasn't the ace that Kagami was, nor was she a member of the Generation of Miracles. But hadn't Kagami himself told her that she'd done plenty for them? Hadn't Hyuuga dragged the team back to the bench to have Riko slap some sense into all of them? She couldn't slack off or feel sorry for herself; if she had some extra time on her hands now, better to devote it to working on training ideas, so that when she saw her team again, she could whip them back into shape immediately. She could even use the backs of the papers she'd found herself piled with to jot down and refine a few ideas until she could find a store and get some proper notebooks.
Until the entire team got here or she went back home - and probably beyond that - Riko wasn't going to sit back on a lawn and sunbathe.
And if nothing else, she'd get a reprieve from her father standing in her doorway and telling her not to ruin her skin by staying up too late. There was one bright side already.

He is a man in a world full of those that adore playing hard to get. Totally.
History: hetalia wikia and wikipedia
Appearance: With some pals and flying solo, looking fab
Personality: France has a bit of a reputation for excess and the pursuit of pleasure among his peers. Actually, they would just dumb it down to describing France as an obnoxious pervert, but ‘they’ are Europe and since when have those old geezers necessarily gotten along ever? That’s right. They don’t get along at all, even with France’s influence spreading far and wide. He’s the dirty little not-so-secret in many Nations’ pasts. France would, of course, say that he has contributed many things in the course of political and cultural history in regards to his peers— but, who honestly wants to pat a guy on the back that will already play drummer boy to himself?
One of the most pertinent aspects of who France is happens to be his pride. He has enough to sink the iceberg that downed the Titanic. France is an old nation, though he doesn’t like his age being pointed out, vain as he is. The amount of good and bad that he’s experienced is impressive, if not cumbersome. He brags that he’s fought alongside many great men in his life and embraces his past because it is who and what he is now.
France is a passionate man that likes to share his opinion, whether or not you want it. It’s similar with his affection; he has a habit of being a perpetual flirt and making advances toward his peers. Secretly I like to think it’s to see them squirm, but he’s by no means a cruel man. He just has a lot to offer and he CANNOT KEEP IT TO HIMSELF, alright? Alright.
Eccentric describes him well. He’s flamboyant, flighty, and egotistical. He is a man that can argue about why the sky is blue, though he’ll excuse it as a sign of a great thinker. France truly flutters about at his own pace—if he doesn’t want to do something there’s a good chance he won’t do it in a timely manner. There’s wine to take in and places to go. His work ethic is at times pretty lackluster, which shows with one of his main hobbies being going on strike. Despite that, he has a sense of loyalty that’s a bit confusing at times but it runs deep. For instance, he defends Italy in refusing to spread rumors in one strip. Tearfully. Weird guy. In other instances it’s been shown that he’s pretty opportunistic; only offering help to his ‘friends’ if he got something out of it in return.
He didn’t get to be this old by being a stupid man.
In canon, he’s the character that seems to shine with answering the big questions. He’s seen reminiscing with a girl that strongly resembles Joan of Arc where he tells her that he believes those wronged by history will be reborn to live a normal, happy life—showing a side that really is philosophical and optimistic. In another strip he explains to a curious human what they are and what keeps them going. In both strips he’s quick to flutter away, but only after giving someone what they absolutely need to know.
Abilites: This is where I say he’s got the typical ‘nation’ power of being fairly strong and very hard to kill. Oh, he might physically die but the bastard comes back like a bad case of herpes. It would take something happening to his government and people to do any real damage to him. Also, he seems like he has the ability to retreat really fast, because who teleports?!

Characters Name: Mondo Oowada
Age: Somewhere from 15-17, most likely at the higher end of the scale.
Canon: Dangan Ronpa
Canon Point: Post Chapter 2 (in other words, post death)
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation:UHHHH ANIKIS?? Okay, seriously: Mondo makes a couple statements about being attracted to girls, namely mentioning he’s been rejected by ten girls straight because he’s prone to get nervous and yell at them. It is probably worth noting that every one of his important relationships are with other guys, though- of course that may have to do with his appreciation of brotherly relationships and general “manly” things. So if you asked him, he’d probably say he liked girls, but who the heck really knows.

Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation:
History: English translated LP, TVTropes Page
Appearance: Official art, and a sprite (with a good show of his crazy corncob hair)
Personality:
The best place to begin with Mondo Oowada is the title given him as a student of Hope’s Peak Academy- “Super High-School Level Gang Leader.” Mondo’s status as the leader of the motorcycle gang he formed with his late older brother, the Crazy Diamonds, has obviously been the most influential thing on his personality since its formation. This is noticeable even from his initial appearance- his...odd hair and and long coat both fit the Japanese picture of gang member to a T. The Crazy Diamonds also happen to be the biggest motorcycle gang in Japan, which has given their leader quite the reputation- Mondo is known all over as an amazingly tough, scary guy who's bad side is something anyone wants to avoid if they want to keep themselves healthy. Mondo’s especially proud of this and the gang in general, and despite all the hazards associated (mainly prison) he enjoys riding, motorcycles, and generally being a criminal quite a bit.
Mondo’s first reaction to anything against him is to yell and swear, crack his knuckles, and threaten to beat it up. He has a rather amazing predisposition to violence in general, presumably from constantly having to avoid the authorities (to quote: “Somehow, it feels just like this prison I was locked in that time. Nah, this place is even worse”). He is also, to put it bluntly, not all that smart- he knows how to work things out when it’s needed, but in terms of schoolwork and general logic, he’s often lost. He seems to also jump to general conclusions in order to make things seem a little easier- early on, when Chihiro suggests the infamous serial killer is involved with the predicament the cast is in, Mondo seems to jump on the idea- despite having no evidence- and calls Monobear a serial killer to his face. As he gets angry so easily, he also doesn’t think things through often; one of his very first acts in the story is to almost get blown up by Monobear when he attacks it, and he would have been wiped out right then if Kirigiri wasn’t a quick thinker.

History:
basic history here. adding on to his past...
“Once upon a time, there was a war with a race of alien giants called Zentradis. Having experienced the threat of destruction from their first contact with a ET, humanity entrusted its future to expansion into outer space, and set sail for new lands all across the galaxy. And in 2059, the 27th vast colony fleet to be created, Macross Frontier, was continuing its journey toward the center of the galaxy.”
Thus starts the story of boy in the Macross Frontier who wanted to fly.
Saotome Alto was born into the prestigious family of the Saotome, a Kabuki household. Now anyone who knows anything about the ancient Japanese theater, Kabuki, is that, it’s a family business. The only people that can act in a Kabuki are the men of the Saotome household and the male apprentices that disciple themselves to the troupe. Which means if you’re a male that’s born into a kabuki family, you will be a kabuki actor, no questions asked. To Alto, the words, “We lived through the war. It was by the power of the culture that human beings have. The core of culture is kabuki, thus we must spread and carry it on to the ends of the galaxy,” were his lullaby. It was those words he was raised up with.
And that is how Alto grew up. Saotome Alto was to be a kabuki actor and the next to inherit the Musashi-ya name. It was just like how people knew they had to breathe to live. Ever since he was wee babby Alto was trained by his father to eat, live, and breathe acting. One of his youngest memories was being told to read Shakespeare, Stanislavsky, Beckett, Aristotle and other writings by 3 days and recite to his father what the meaning of all the books were. Until then he wasn’t allowed out of the warehouse. It was a natural occurrence for his father to throw him or a fan at him (never hitting his face of course. the face was an actor’s living) whenever young Alto messed up. It might be considered child abuse to some, but this was teaching and discipline in the Saotome family. His father ruled the household with an iron grip, grinding into Alto the concept that “acting was living”.
This might be the reason why Alto became so close to his mother. His mother was nothing like his stern, scary father. She was soft, and gentle. She loved him with all she had. Alto’s mother was a sickly person, and she knew would not live to see her son grow into a man. Therefore, she gave him as much love as she could for his lifetime. It can be assumed that Alto is a mother’s boy, with him always carrying his mother’s good luck charm around his neck, and the fact that when he sees one of his love interests wearing his mother’s kimono, he sees her as his mother for a moment.
Another major thing he was taught to be as a child was to become a woman. Alto was an oyama, a kabuki actor that played the role of a female. Thus, he was raised to depict the perfect epitome of a “woman”. The “perfect woman” was someone who was the perfect housewife and the perfect prostitute at the same time. A mix between a saintly and a sinful female. He was raised to have all the skills needed to be a housewife, to be a woman. Every practice he altered his movement to become a woman, he wore a girl’s kimono, stuck an ornamental hairpin in his hair, went to the women’s toilet, and held a doll while sleeping. There was no shred of “male” in Saotome Alto’s childhood.
Alto debuted on stage at the age of 10, and immediately become known as “the genius young oyama”. At 12, he played the lead in Sakura-Hime Azuma Bunshou, in which his acting was considered legendary and gathered fans from other galaxies. His future as the next head of the Saotome troupe was set.
However, while he was still young (presumed to be when he was 13 or 14 years old) his mother had passed away, leaving Alto with only his strict father, the caretakers, and the numerous disciples of the Saotome troupe. While they all treated Alto with respect and care, it was still not the same for him. He was lonely. He had no friends of the same age, all that came close was for the Saotome name. Nobody looked at him as Alto, but only as Saotome Alto, the future head. Life just became a routine of acting, practice, dancing, and training. He felt stifled, and soon he became to hate the life he lived. He hated his family that only cared for acting, he hated his blood lineage that tied him down, he hated only being seen as a female, he hated acting as someone else, he hated the Macross Frontier with its roof, and most of all he hated his father that did nothing and just continued practicing his act even when his mother had died. All the love and ambition he had for acting, became a hate and trauma for him.
It was during this period when he was about to graduate middle school, when he stumbled upon the Space Flight Studies of Mihoshi Academy. After a fight with his future best friend, he ends up flying in an Ex-Gear as a bet. An Ex-Gear in short are powered-suit that traces the wearer’s movements and combined with its engine and wings, it allows the wearer to glide through the air like they have wings. Ex-Gears are known to be hard to pilot as they distribute several times the power with just minimal movement, making the bet practically a set-up for Alto to lose. But lo-and-behold, he manages to fly in the sky (wearing a dress since he was practicing for Romeo and Juliet fft). There he remembered how much he loved flying, and his mother’s words about a real sky. A sky with no bounds, that had no roof or end.
His love for flying became greater each day, enough to the point that he transferred from the Entertainment course to the Space Flight Studies as soon as he entered high school without a word to his family. Upon on being accepted, he told his father that he was no longer going to act, but become a pilot. This of course, started a row between the two, and ended up in Alto leaving the house and his father disowning him. But that was no matter to Alto, as he moved to an apartment and beginning to live a life of his own. To do what he truly wished to do. He finally had the first step to true freedom. The rest would come when he could burst out of the 6,000 feet sky, and fly as high as he wanted without any restraints.
The opportunity for the next step towards a sky was when he became a second year at Mihoshi Academy. By then, Alto was the second in his class and part of the trio that was known to fly most skillfully. Several students were to do an acrobatic performance during the live of the Galaxy Fairy, Songstress Sheryl Nome. There, Alto met two girls that would change his life forever.
The first was Ranka Lee, a girl of his age that longed to be a singer. She was someone who made the “male” in Alto want to protect her at all costs. She was someone that was like a sister and a love interest at the same time. He was often soothed by her presence and her singing, and he was the one that encouraged her to take a step forward and debut later on.
The second was the famed Sheryl Nome, a girl of his age that was the top of the galaxy. Everyone knew her name, and her songs. Although at first Alto had no interest in her and only thought of her as a selfish, queen-type girl that was only famous for her looks. But as he got to know her through series of events, he found out that she was just a normal girl too. Still queen-type and all, but nice at heart and a hard worker. Singing was her life, as flying (and acting previously) was his. She was someone who made the “male” in him become...well a male. (If you know what I mean...) Although he often bickers and fight with her, she stimulates his pride as a pilot and at times, a fellow entertainer, and in front of her, Alto feels free to say anything he wants.
On the same day he met these two, there were two incidents that also changed his life forever.
One was the attack of the Vajras, an unknown space bug that was thought to be a bioweapon of some sorts. It was this that allowed Alto to pilot an unmanned Valkyrie (VF-25 Messiah), a variable fighter that transforms in to three forms: a humanoid giant robot called Battroid, an in between type of a plane and a Battroid called Gerwalk , and the normal plane type called the Fighter, to save Ranka from the Vajras.
This leads to the other incident, him finding out about the SMS (Strategic Military Services), a Private Military Provider in the form of security group for transportation corporation. They were basically ex-soldiers and pilots that don’t fit in to the military or dislike it. Alto finds out his two best friends, Michael Blan and Luca Angeloni are pilots in the SMS. After a taste of the Valkyries and knowing the existence of Vajras, Alto decides to join as well. First for the reason of wanting to fly in a sky with no roof, though it may be a battlefield. But as the series goes on, he begins to wish to be able to protect his friends, and the Macross Frontier fleet.
After Michel’s death and the separation from SMS, Alto joins the military (U.N. Spacy) and he becomes the squad leader, despite his short history as a fighter pilot. This was because the fleet was low on people that had actually gone to the battlefield. There, he threw himself into work, not wanting to focus on the deaths and separations. He was known as the Demon Instructor for his drill sergeant ways of teaching the people of his squad. During these days, he would hate to have idle, down time and would try to find something to do.
He had detested the Vajra when the last battle for the planet of Vajra began, especially when the member of his squad had died. But after the realization that the Vajra was controlled by someone else, he had come to at least forgive it, and thank for its help on protecting the fleet in the end.
Through relationships with Ranka and Sheryl, and the people of SMS, Alto learns to mature and to care about the Macross Frontier. To love people again. He realizes he is no longer a child that blamed all his sufferings on his blood lineage and environment, but that if he doesn’t fight for it, nothing will change.

He was known as the Demon Instructor for his drill sergeant ways of teaching the people of his squad. During these days, he would hate to have idle, down time and would try to find something to do.
He had detested the Vajra when the last battle for the planet of Vajra began, especially when the member of his squad had died. But after the realization that the Vajra was controlled by someone else, he had come to at least forgive it, and thank for its help on protecting the fleet in the end.
Through relationships with Ranka and Sheryl, and the people of SMS, Alto learns to mature and to care about the Macross Frontier. To love people again. He realizes he is no longer a child that blamed all his sufferings on his blood lineage and environment, but that if he doesn’t fight for it, nothing will change.

Characters Name: Kyouko Kasodani
Age: Unknown, but appears young enough to pass for a young teenager
Canon: Touhou Project
Canon Point: Post Ten Desires
Species: Yamabiko, a youkai of mountain echoes. Dog-like in nature.
Gender: Female.
Orientation: Given she'll be in a child slot, it's not really an issue, but it should be noted that Touhou does not give any canon indication of its characters having sexuality. Subjects of relationships and sexuality never come up. Their orientations are therefore left entirely open to interpretation. Due to the prevelence of femmslash in the fandom, I personally default most of them to bisexual. Especially considering they are stuck in a time period before Japan's major westernization that introduced the concept of homophobia.
History: Touhou wiki link
Appearance: http://i.imgur.com/8grSQ.jpg Kyouko has teal hair and eyes and brown, furry ears and tail. The ears and tail, dog-like in appearance, are traditional physical characteristics of yamabiko. When preparing her echoing power, her ears vibrate rapidly. This is another aspect that comes from myth, and can also be seen in the Pokemon Audino, which is also based on the yamabiko.
Personality:
"She lives in the mountains, and when she hears a joyous sound, she replies back with a loud voice. A good youkai with kind heart."
Kyouko is among a race of youkai called yamabiko which don't partake in the normal terrorizing of humans that some youkai do. In spite of her jokes about "filling the morning with their screams", Kyouko is generally nice to the heroes of the story (except for Youmu, for reasons to be described later). She is kind spirited and will try to help out anyone that needs it. It's just her way, really.
Being a neophyte of the Myouren Temple, Kyouko studies Buddhism quite extensively, and tries to reflect the principles of that faith. She can echo sutras from memory, and will often quote various sutras and precepts as the time calls for it ("Greetings are the heart's oasis.") when going about her duties. Given her primary duty is to greet temple visitors, her audio memory comes in great handy. It also helps that she's cute.
Kyouko is also very enthusiastic. It may be because she's young, but she has great energy, even for as early in the morning as her scenes in canon take place. Before dawn she is sweeping, cooking, greeting visitors, accepting challenges from interlopers, and basically preparing the whole temple before anyone else is even awake. Her energy channels into her greeting, giving a hearty "Good morning!" to the heroes, far louder than some would expect (much to Marisa's annoyance, actually). She goes about everything with this sort of gusto, and is all smiles during.
One thing she doesn't tolerate is killing. When Youmu shows up at Myouren with her swords drawn, Kyouko treats her far faaar differently than she did the other heroes. She becomes aggressive and righteous, shaming Youmu for daring to kill anyone, be they fairies or youkai. Youmu, of course, hadn't killed anyone at all, but Kyouko jumped to the conclusion anyways and attacked with a fury the other heroes were not subject to. Whether this had to do with her Buddhist training or something deeper in her past is unknown.
Kyouko, unfortunately, has become a bit bored with her life in the temple, though. While she tries her best and is dutiful, a lot of the deeper meaning of her training is lost on her and her restless youthful energy has desperately come out in other ways. She formed a rock band with Mystia Lorelei as a result and has started really throwing herself into music with a message of rebellion and punk rock culture. In some ways, it coincides with her Buddhist beliefs of challenging one's perceptions of reality. But in most ways... she's still just a kid and frustrated with the world.
Now for a bit of headcanon/filling in the blanks.
There is something of a depressing point to be made about the matters that drove Kyouko (and others like her) to Myouren Temple to begin with. Given it's a temple for youkai, they often take in those with nowhere left to go. Human reason and science forced Kyouko out of her home in the mountains, her entire existence threatened by the denial of the supernatural. Even with her constant smile and high energy, there is that weight still carried with her. She doesn't show it often, and prefers to not talk about it, but it's still very much reality.
It is thought, perhaps, that her darker treatment of Youmu has something to do with this. The idea of dying, of being killed or wiped out, frightens her deeply. Existence for youkai born outside of Gensokyo is extremely grim. They have no protection from xenophobic humans, who would wipe out youkai either directly or indirectly by no longer respecting their existences. Kyouko is no exception to this, as she was likely born outside Gensokyo.
She attached herself to Buddhism because she honestly had nothing left. The emptiness of secularism was frightening, threatening to pretty much unmake her. Now, with spirituality on her side, she echoes sutras in the mountains of Gensokyo, retaining her place in the way of the world as a youkai. And it scares some humans, too. That's always a nice bonus. But what she really wants is for them to believe again...
Abilites: As a Yamabiko, Kyouko has power over echoes. This means she can control soundwaves once she's heard them personally at least once. This means she can do things like change the volume of sound, imitate sounds and voices, and project soundwaves to such an intensity that they can be used as a form of self-defense. She can also create "echo chambers" that form from walls of sound, bounding soundwaves off of one another indifinitely. She mostly uses this power to memorize sutras and perform music, as well as her ever cheerful greetings of paritioners to the Myouren Temple.

Third Person:
It was funny, the sort of things that reminded her of her old life. A particularly chilly breeze, the leaves that rushed past, and the sound, oh the sound of it all... She felt herself stopping in her chores to take a moment to just experience it, take it in, and reflect on it. This world, she had to remind herself, was unnatural. There was no feasible way for her to truly experience the crisp autumns of Gensokyo, or any natural place, here. But it still felt so... nostalgic. She set her broom against the wall and stepped out onto the lawn, sitting herself down.
Maybe... maybe there was at least some natural beauty to this place. A sign of the totality of life. A breath of the Buddha in the world. Maybe. She would have to ask anesan later about it. But it certainly carried with it a sort of peace they didn't have back home. And maybe, just maybe... she was a little grateful...
Oh well. Enough of that. Kyouko quickly hopped back up, humming an old mountain song to herself as she picked her broom back up and continued her sweeping. She would have time to reflect later. Whether it was at the temple, or in this strange place, she still hard work to do, after all.

Characters Name: Stocking Anarchy
Age: Age unknown -- universally 'ageless'. Due to her status as an angel, she merely appears to be a teenager.
Canon: Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt
Canon Point: Between episode 9 and 11.
Species: Angel.
Gender: Female.
Orientation: Let's just go with straight.
History: Right here at the Wiki!
Appearance: Right here!
Personality: Stocking is an angel kicked out of heaven with her sister Panty after misconduct. Many aspects of Stocking are obvious and a constant through out the series. Stocking is a self-proclaimed loli-goth. Her style, be it fashion or decorations, can be closely related to morbid and cutesy combination. She revels in this, obsessing with dark purples and blacks. As dreary and depressing as placing her bedroom color palette in this style, this is more proof that she has a more... off-kilter impression of what is cute. Yet, she isn't completely 'goth' in this sense, as she still loves cute stuffed animals and sweet foods.
Besides her unique style, she is known for being... well, the non-slutty of the two Anarchy sisters! In addition to her more tighter sexual prowess, she is shown to have more wit and smarts to her than Panty. These wits usually go more towards common sense and a sheer understanding of how Daten City works and the tasks needed to be completed to grant their access back to Heaven. However, there's a difference between understanding culture and coming off as completely naive. She sometimes gets in just as much trouble as Panty does, but merely by not seeing through tricks and traps. Her naive view is rare, but extends itself mostly in her views of herself. While her tongue can be as vile and spiteful as her sisters, she claims herself to be a lady and hold her class above Panty, antagonizing her constantly over it.
Let us not forget about Stocking's quick tongue and wit. She is childish and will call out catty remarks when the time calls for it -- which doesn't take much. The girl can be an absolute potty mouth, cursing and using slurs to insult her sister or anyone who pisses her off. Stocking takes things very far, as in continuously keeping a small war going on between them and uploading Panty's sex tape to the internet. Hath has no fury like one pissed off angel.
Stocking is quicker to move into action than her sister, yet not often. While she can be troublesome to motivate to collect Heaven Coins, she does take the mission more seriously. She is more level-headed and able to assess a situation better. But not totally better. She can be JUST as immature and stupid as Panty, but, not as often. Stocking actually does care to some extent about their duty of collecting Heaven Coins but she finds it tiresome if she's in a sour mood. To be blunt: she's motivated but not that damn motivated.
Her love of sweets has often gotten her into trouble. It's an obsession: much like Panty's obsession with sex. Even if Stocking has been shown to sleep with a few people (or make brief mention of it), her love will always be sweet foods. It becomes a sore spot and easy target. Panty often berates her about getting fat over them, which actually does happen at one point. Sweets, in a sense, is her weakness that has often been exploited against her.
Out of the two Anarchy sisters, Stocking is the less insufferable -- or so she claims. She is a hypocrite that often tries to pass herself off as a lady with class and feelings, yet she will be quick to come off as vicious, airheaded, and bitchy.
Despite being an angel, she does not display the same traits as a traditional angel does. She is not pure, she is not holy, she is not friendly/helpful, and she is not angelic in any sense. She is often just as immature as her sister but on a completely different level. She is sweet on the outside, pure bitch on the inside.

Abilites: Stocking has the ability to transform stockings into swords (this is shown as her own stockings, however, but implied that ANY stockings can transform). They are her primary source of weaponry and she has trained to become damn good at wielding them. The swords do not harm humans and instead effect the ghosts she is sent out to destroy.

[ There's only a bit of static before the camera flicks to life. There's no significant scenery, just a dark purple color fixated into the view. That shifts and it becomes obvious it was the ends of long straight hair. Pulling back further, the video shows off the curvy body of an unknown female. Yes, breast shots even if only briefly. A young face is shown looking displeased at the camera. ]
Is this recording? Okay, it has to be. The red light is flashing more than Panty at a party...
[ A small pause and she takes a deep breath, regaining her composure and showing a calming nature. The tiniest of smiles shows over her lips before her voice hits the airwaves: ]
So, which one of you dim-witted little shits are going to tell me what's going on? This isn't Daten City and these sweets --
[ Oh, look, she has a saucer with a small cup of chocolate pudding in it. ]
are on the same level as dog shit. I expect a refund for such horrible food as well as an explanation.
[ Pause. ]
I'm waiting.
Third Person:
The rows of stocked goods at the supermarket was enough to make Stocking's eyes roll. There was enough organization in the place for her to navigate quickly, noting which lanes were for steroid junkies (the frozen meat section), anorexic whores (the diet section), and for the best people in the city (the desert aisle). Powdered cake mix lined the shelves, brightly colored cardboard boxes keeping the contents wrapped up like it was Christmas. She gripped onto the tops of the shopping cart, pushing it slowly as her eyes scanned the aisle.
"Strawberry... Vanilla... Chocolate..." Stocking would list off as she pushed her cart, which was brimming with other sweet items, down the aisle, "Velvet... Cream Cheese... Pumpkin Spice..."
Although her tongue lashed upon her lips in delight at the items she saw, she did not find what she was looking for.
"Where is the Jean-Paul Heaven mix? It's an exclusive offer..." Stocking gnashed her teeth silently, "It was appearing in Daten City this week! No. No no noooo. It has to be here! There's no way..."
But.
No.
Her eyes burned with fire as she looked over the countless boxes. No. No. NO! It wasn't here!
With a sudden slam, her foot would kick almost a whole shelf of products off, causing it to rain cake mix in her scorn.
"Stupid fucking town! It's going to fucking pay for ruining this for me! Holly Heights, you're on my shit list."
Was all she grumbled to herself before ditching the cart of goods completely and storming out.

Characters Name: Hinata Hyuuga
Age: 16
Canon: Naruto
Canon Point: chapter 450 / Shippuden episode 175 / End of Invasion of Pain Arc
Species: Human
Gender: Cisgendered female
Orientation: Heterosexual; Hinata consistently displays admiration and infatuation for Naruto throughout the series, and eventually outright confesses her romantic feelings for him.
History: Hinata's Narutopedia entry
Appearance: (Picture here.) A pretty, sweet-faced girl with pale skin and long dark blue/black hair with straight-cut bangs. Hinata's most notable feature is her unusual eyes; normally, when her Byakugan ability is deactivated, her irises are a silvery-white, and her pupils are not visible. When she makes use of the Byakugan, the veins around her eyes bulge and become prominent, and her pupils can be vaguely discerned. She's rather short at around 160cm/5'2" with a somewhat voluptuous build.
She's often seen wearing a zipped-up, white and light purple oversized hoodie-like top, with darker blue cropped baggy pants and black sandals. Beneath her hoodie she wears a ninja mesh armor shirt, and around her neck is tied her Leaf village headband that signifies her status as a ninja.
Her mannerisms, tone of voice, and body language tend towards the shy and polite; she speaks politely (making use of honorifics) but not overly formally. She blushes very easily and can quickly grow awkward when nervous or embarrassed, twiddling her fingers, avoiding eye contact, and sometimes stumbling over her words or stuttering, particularly when the subject of her crush comes up. However, when in a determined mode she can be controlled, serious, even fierce.
Personality: Hinata is a polite, compassionate, and gentle girl, but her inability to meet the grueling expectations of her family has also left her shy, soft-spoken, and lacking in self-confidence.
When Hinata was very young, she wanted to grow up to be as kind as her mother and as strong as her father. Most of her difficulties seem to stem from her struggle to meet the latter wish, even if in terms of inner strength she has more than she seems to give herself credit for. A very strong will resides deep within her; once she chooses to dedicate herself to a task, her determination is absolute. Even if she takes dangerous risks at times, she never acts out of recklessness and without understanding the risks she chooses to take; instead, she tends to think through her course of action carefully in advance. She's even willing to lay her life on the line to defend those she cares about, even when she knows her own strength won't be up to the task. It's a protective impulse that she refers to herself as 'selfish' when it motivates her to intervene in the battle between Naruto and Pain.
While Hinata wouldn't call herself a particularly smart person, she's certainly empathetic and can be sympathetic to and perceptive about other people's feelings; during the chuunin exams she recognizes how Neji feels even more suffering from the constraints of his place in the Hyuuga clan than she does.
She's gradually grown to be more confident in herself over the years since her showing in the chuunin exams, but she still possesses a degree of awkwardness in certain social situations— particularly those centering around her interactions with Naruto. In fact, Naruto's the greatest influence in her life that illustrates both of these sides of her personality. On the one hand, her admiration and deep affection for him can make her incredibly embarrassed and tongue-tied in his presence, her reactions ranging from blushing and having difficulty speaking to him to outright fainting. On the other, there are moments where he's able to inspire her to be the exact opposite: determined, confident, and fiercely protective. It was Naruto who spurred her decision to better herself by providing her with an example to follow, and she's even chosen to adopt his nindo, or ninja way, as her own: to never give up, and never go back on her word. Whether or not Naruto will ever return the romantic affection she’s confessed to remains to be seen, but there does exist a healthy sense of mutual friendship and respect between them.
Despite her shyness, Hinata gets along well with her teammates Kiba and Shino, who both have proven to be supportive of her and confident in her abilities, as has her team's jounin leader, Kurenai. Hinata is the closest of her teammates to Kurenai, who trained and worked with Hinata extensively in order to bring out the potential that was overlooked by her own family.
It's the difficult relationship with the Hyuuga clan as a whole that has perhaps been the greatest challenge Hinata's been forced to face. Her father Hiashi's longstanding contempt for her sub-par strength left her with a profound sense of self-doubt and a belief that she was weak, a worthless failure. Her relationship with her cousin Neji was similarly strained when they were younger, as he also derided her for her kind nature, something he perceived as a great weakness for a shinobi. Although Hinata still has yet to completely overcome the low self-esteem that developed in her earlier years, her perseverance eventually earned her a degree of acceptance and respect from both her father and Neji; during the time skip interim when Naruto was traveling and training with Jiraiya, Hinata and Neji had even been training together under Hiashi's tutelage. The result of this is made clear later once war has broken out, when Hinata and Neji are shown working effectively as a team of equals, suggesting that they've set aside the difficulties between them from their younger days.
Abilites: Like other ninja from her world, Hinata received training in the arts of stealth and war; her primary specialty is hand-to-hand combat. She was also taught how to channel her own life force energy, chakra, to power a variety of superhuman abilities, such as walking on water and running up walls.
The main thing that sets Hinata apart from other ninja from her village is that she possesses the Hyuuga clan's unique bloodline trait, the all-seeing eyes known as the Byakugan. When activated, the Byakugan gives Hinata a near-360 degree field of view and telescopic x-ray vision that can see through almost any barrier; her mastery of the Byakugan allows her to additionally focus her sight in a single direction, giving her a greatly increased optical range.
The most highly prized feature of the Byakugan is that it allows the user to see the chakra network that flows naturally within the bodies of living creatures. The Gentle Fist martial arts style that is the hallmark of the Hyuuga clan relies upon this particular capability, enabling the user to target the nodes of the chakra system and inflict severe internal damage, even potentially cutting off the opponent's ability to use their own chakra; multiple targets on the body can be hit extremely fast to almost completely debilitate a single opponent. Additionally, the Byakugan's wide field of vision combined with these fast and precise strikes can be used to attack and defend against numerous opponents at close range in any direction; Hinata's particular variation of this technique involves the use of blades of chakra that she extends from her hands. Thanks to her excellent chakra control, she's also capable of creating needles of chakra that can be thrown rapidly and with great precision; a variation of this technique, the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists, involves concentrating chakra into her hands, forming lion head-shaped auras over her fists that add additional power to her strikes.
I'm not sure which of the Byakugan's capabilities, if any, would be considered innate abilities instead of special powers since while they're inherited and inherent to Hinata's eyes, they're still abilities that need to be consciously activated.
Other:
• Hinata's hobby is oshibana (Japanese flower pressing and pressed flowers art.)
• Hinata's relationship with her father Hiashi and cousin Neji are the most prominently explored of her family relationships in canon, but Hinata also has a younger sister, Hanabi. Their mother is seen only in a brief flashback in the anime, leaving it unknown as to whether she's currently alive or dead. Since family relationships are so relevant in Holly Heights, I'm assuming that Hinata's mother is dead since canon is ambiguous and she's basically a non-entity character-wise beyond being referred to as kind (an official name hasn't even been revealed.)
• Despite Hinata being the eldest from the Hyuuga clan main family, it appears as though her father has designated Hanabi to be the future clan head, due to Hanabi's superior natural fighting talent.
SAMPLES
First Person: Network post from guysandolls
Third Person: Hinata felt alien and completely out of her element, and not just because she was back in a school again even though she'd already long since graduated from Konoha's ninja academy. Altaciere High School was a strange environment to be in for a girl who'd spent her entire life training to be a ninja, who'd been expected to live up to the fabled battle prowess of the Hyuuga clan (even if she'd been found lacking as a child.) The course list she studied now while navigating the hallways didn't include kunai throwing or chakra channeling or intelligence gathering techniques. Almost everything she'd ever learned seemed not to have much meaning or use here in this strange village she'd woken up in several days ago. What's worse, she didn't even have the support of her teammates to fall back on in this place, instead knowing that she'd be coming home later to a house full of strangers.
Still, she shouldn't give up. Naruto wouldn't, would he, so neither should she. Even if she was nervous about her first day at high school, she'd do her best and make it through what was expected of her in Holly Heights until she found a way back to Konoha.
This was why when she entered her first classroom of the day and found someone had already arrived before her, she didn't shrink away and silently take a seat in the back. Instead, she took a deep breath and walked up to the other occupant of the room.
"Um...good...good morning!" she said, nervously bowing more deeply than was necessary.

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Hinata Hyuuga
Age: 16
Canon: Naruto
Canon Point: chapter 450 / Shippuden episode 175 / End of Invasion of Pain Arc
Species: Human
Gender: Cisgendered female
Orientation: Heterosexual; Hinata consistently displays admiration and infatuation for Naruto throughout the series, and eventually outright confesses her romantic feelings for him.
History: Hinata's Narutopedia entry
Appearance: (Picture here.) A pretty, sweet-faced girl with pale skin and long dark blue/black hair with straight-cut bangs. Hinata's most notable feature is her unusual eyes; normally, when her Byakugan ability is deactivated, her irises are a silvery-white, and her pupils are not visible. When she makes use of the Byakugan, the veins around her eyes bulge and become prominent, and her pupils can be vaguely discerned. She's rather short at around 160cm/5'2" with a somewhat voluptuous build.
She's often seen wearing a zipped-up, white and light purple oversized hoodie-like top, with darker blue cropped baggy pants and black sandals. Beneath her hoodie she wears a ninja mesh armor shirt, and around her neck is tied her Leaf village headband that signifies her status as a ninja.
Her mannerisms, tone of voice, and body language tend towards the shy and polite; she speaks politely (making use of honorifics) but not overly formally. She blushes very easily and can quickly grow awkward when nervous or embarrassed, twiddling her fingers, avoiding eye contact, and sometimes stumbling over her words or stuttering, particularly when the subject of her crush comes up. However, when in a determined mode she can be controlled, serious, even fierce.
Personality: Hinata is a polite, compassionate, and gentle girl, but her inability to meet the grueling expectations of her family has also left her shy, soft-spoken, and lacking in self-confidence.
When Hinata was very young, she wanted to grow up to be as kind as her mother and as strong as her father. Most of her difficulties seem to stem from her struggle to meet the latter wish, even if in terms of inner strength she has more than she seems to give herself credit for. A very strong will resides deep within her; once she chooses to dedicate herself to a task, her determination is absolute. Even if she takes dangerous risks at times, she never acts out of recklessness and without understanding the risks she chooses to take; instead, she tends to think through her course of action carefully in advance. She's even willing to lay her life on the line to defend those she cares about, even when she knows her own strength won't be up to the task. It's a protective impulse that she refers to herself as 'selfish' when it motivates her to intervene in the battle between Naruto and Pain.
While Hinata wouldn't call herself a particularly smart person, she's certainly empathetic and can be sympathetic to and perceptive about other people's feelings; during the chuunin exams she recognizes how Neji feels even more suffering from the constraints of his place in the Hyuuga clan than she does.
She's gradually grown to be more confident in herself over the years since her showing in the chuunin exams, but she still possesses a degree of awkwardness in certain social situations— particularly those centering around her interactions with Naruto. In fact, Naruto's the greatest influence in her life that illustrates both of these sides of her personality. On the one hand, her admiration and deep affection for him can make her incredibly embarrassed and tongue-tied in his presence, her reactions ranging from blushing and having difficulty speaking to him to outright fainting. On the other, there are moments where he's able to inspire her to be the exact opposite: determined, confident, and fiercely protective. It was Naruto who spurred her decision to better herself by providing her with an example to follow, and she's even chosen to adopt his nindo, or ninja way, as her own: to never give up, and never go back on her word. Whether or not Naruto will ever return the romantic affection she’s confessed to remains to be seen, but there does exist a healthy sense of mutual friendship and respect between them.
Despite her shyness, Hinata gets along well with her teammates Kiba and Shino, who both have proven to be supportive of her and confident in her abilities, as has her team's jounin leader, Kurenai. Hinata is the closest of her teammates to Kurenai, who trained and worked with Hinata extensively in order to bring out the potential that was overlooked by her own family.
It's the difficult relationship with the Hyuuga clan as a whole that has perhaps been the greatest challenge Hinata's been forced to face. Her father Hiashi's longstanding contempt for her sub-par strength left her with a profound sense of self-doubt and a belief that she was weak, a worthless failure. Her relationship with her cousin Neji was similarly strained when they were younger, as he also derided her for her kind nature, something he perceived as a great weakness for a shinobi. Although Hinata still has yet to completely overcome the low self-esteem that developed in her earlier years, her perseverance eventually earned her a degree of acceptance and respect from both her father and Neji; during the time skip interim when Naruto was traveling and training with Jiraiya, Hinata and Neji had even been training together under Hiashi's tutelage. The result of this is made clear later once war has broken out, when Hinata and Neji are shown working effectively as a team of equals, suggesting that they've set aside the difficulties between them from their younger days.
Abilites: Like other ninja from her world, Hinata received training in the arts of stealth and war; her primary specialty is hand-to-hand combat. She was also taught how to channel her own life force energy, chakra, to power a variety of superhuman abilities, such as walking on water and running up walls.
The main thing that sets Hinata apart from other ninja from her village is that she possesses the Hyuuga clan's unique bloodline trait, the all-seeing eyes known as the Byakugan. When activated, the Byakugan gives Hinata a near-360 degree field of view and telescopic x-ray vision that can see through almost any barrier; her mastery of the Byakugan allows her to additionally focus her sight in a single direction, giving her a greatly increased optical range.
The most highly prized feature of the Byakugan is that it allows the user to see the chakra network that flows naturally within the bodies of living creatures. The Gentle Fist martial arts style that is the hallmark of the Hyuuga clan relies upon this particular capability, enabling the user to target the nodes of the chakra system and inflict severe internal damage, even potentially cutting off the opponent's ability to use their own chakra; multiple targets on the body can be hit extremely fast to almost completely debilitate a single opponent.

I'm not sure which of the Byakugan's capabilities, if any, would be considered innate abilities instead of special powers since while they're inherited and inherent to Hinata's eyes, they're still abilities that need to be consciously activated.

History: The country | Arthur Kirkland
Appearance: w/ France, goin’ solo & a more casual look
Personality: For being a country, England should be the perfect image of a gentleman, and for what it’s worth, he tries to present himself being as such, when in reality it’s quite different.
He’s very sharp-tongued and always has an insult to those he dislikes, and it stems a bit from how he’s fairly socially inept and doesn’t always find the right way to come across to people, which usually leads people to misunderstand him. This also leads into how sometimes he can seem very petty and childish, always wanting to get revenge on his enemies, like trying to summon demons on America –but somehow always summoning Russia instead – no matter what the cost. He even tends to think he’s sneaky when really is the most obvious, and when the wrong things are said to him, England tends to blow up in people’s face. As it stands, the one he seems to have a long-standing rivalry with, has to be France, as they have not gotten along since England was still a young nation and things haven’t gotten any better over the years. Tends to call him ‘frog’ and is never short of an insult in that man’s direction, and if there’s a fight/war going on, if it’s against France, he’s all in for it if he can kick the man’s ass. Not that it doesn’t mean that they don’t have some level of respect for each other, as England WILL fight with him if it comes to it, really.
England also seems continually bitter and angry toward America as well but it’s less out of anger but more out of sadness and heartbreak rather than anything else. It’s because of the Revolutionary War, when America fought against him with a want to become his own country. The memory of that day put the rift between them which is why they fight, argue and disagree now, when he had been the one to raise America as a young nation all that time ago, but these memories only come up whenever England gets really drunk, which happens more around July Fourth more than ever.
Back in the day, he used to be a pirate and had it all, even conquered Spain, and now is more of a cynical, rough-edged man who sometimes acts older than he looks. Which doesn’t help as he is a man of class who enjoys embroidery, books,rock music, you name it. He’s also most notably an awful cook, never able to cook anything right which lead to America to have ‘bad’ taste in food, all these years, but it doesn’t dishearten him, vowing to always get better so the others will have to stop saying the bad things about it. England also does have a strange quirk about him that makes him a bit ‘weird’ in the eyes of the other nations, in his belief of all things magical, like fairies, spirits, and what goes with this is that a few of his fantasy friends are a flying bunny, unicorn, fairies, gnomes and even Captain Hook, even though nobody else sees them. It’s not just limited to them, though, as he can also see demons and spirits from Japanese culture, like the Kappa/Water Sprite that he once saw at Japan’s. He can communicate with them on top of this, as well.
Though even with all of this and how rough around the edges England can seem even to the day, he does still care for people. Sealand being a good example, as despite he bickers with the boy about him being recognized as a real nation, he does look out for him as in a way he is still family.
Old as he is, the point does come back that he can get rather dejected easily and has a bad habit of being very self-depreciating at times, if not ‘tsundere’ as most might call it. This showing when it was thought for Japan to have went and became friends with Russia instead of him, England left feeling worthless and kicked aside until Japan came and rectified the situation. He’s also a bit hasty in the sense that once he thinks he has an upper hand, he uses it without fail and doesn’t entirely think about who he steps on when he does it, and sometimes he’s been known to shamelessly use whatever means he can to get rid of his enemies. Such as bartering with pirates to get them to leave him alone and go bother Spain during the 1500’s and all.
Despite everything, England tends to get rather embarrassed with anything dirty coming up and gets flustered rather easily. Even if his country has come out with the most erotic sexual education stuff in compared to some of the other countries, it won’t change anything in his embarrassment levels.
While being a gentleman, when he does get really drunk, his personality shifts and he tends to dress up in a toga with a halo, wings and a star-shaped little wand. Becoming what has been dubbed the ‘Britannian Angel’ who casts miracles, in way of using magic to help others, but mostly using it for turning people younger or older, more or less. He gets dejected if someone doesn’t want his help but can instantly brighten up if there’s any hope or way he really can help, honestly. Outside of this, he can sometimes turn into a violent delinquent depending on things, so it really would be smarter to keep him from anything alcohol related.
He’s also rather forgetful; scatter-brained even. Leaving things behind and forgetting about them quite frequently.

Orientation: It’s not touched on who Sora likes or what gender she goes for but she seems to get a little flustered around men (Yuri getting close to her without a shirt on) but yet can be oblivious to love when it comes to her. Fandom speculates that she also likes girls because she constantly is seen with Layla during season one and her opinions and thoughts matter so much to her. So she can go either way in the series.
So I guess long story short: Sora could go both ways depending. Honestly, she doesn't care as long as she has some sort of feelings.

History: Have a Wiki
And a more detailed one
Appearance: The True Kaleido Star
Personality:
You know those people that are so happy and optimistic that you wanna smack them because you feel bad and they don’t? Sora happens to be one of those people. She’s usually cheerful to the point that people don’t like her until they get to know her better. These words best describe her: determined/stubborn, loving, and naïve.
Let’s start with point one: determined. When someone says ‘Jump!’, Sora would do it and do it twice as hard. Sometimes, it’s not even on purpose but just people wanting to spite her. This is seen mostly in the beginning of the series when Sora joins the troupe by going through the boss instead of auditions like everyone else. In her defense, she was trying to catch a thief who took her stuff and made her late to the auditions. Some performers even twisted her words around and got the girl in trouble with the main star, who challenged her to perform her signature move in one week or to leave Kaleido Stage. While she doesn’t complete the routine, Layla, the main star in question, tells her that she did indeed do the Golden Phoenix and secured her spot in the troupe for the moment.
The important fact is when Sora is given a task, she works extremely hard to accomplish it, even getting sick or working with injuries to do what people ask of her; before her audition for Dracula, she practiced all night in the rain to perform a certain maneuver and ended up getting sick during the audition. Hence the stubborn part. She will work nonstop in order to get a move just right or to complete certain training. When given a chance to compete in the International Circus Festival, Leon Oswald tries to break her down by giving her a test: stand on one foot until he says stop. Now you would think this was easy, right?
Try doing it for days.
Or do it while standing on a moving bus or under cold water with tons of gallons pouring into your body. Does she give up? Not a chance.
However, like most humans, Sora can give up when the pressure is too much for her to handle like when she performs at the Festival. Earlier, she and her partner Yuri was helping a competing pair while they were helping them. When Sora found out that they were going to perform the same routine, she was heartbroken. The girl couldn’t bear to hurt anyone and it was worse when another pair jeered at her because she was from Kaleido Stage, not only the same place where the previous winners were but that TWO pairs were competing from. Right in the middle of the routine and on stage in front of thousands Sora stops and forfeits, stunning both friends, partner, and Layla who pretty much called her coward for what she did. Sometimes, she needs a push when she doesn’t want to do anything (Leon pulling her on stage during a performance of Romeo and Juliet despite her protests and attempts to leave; he doesn‘t let her go so easily.).
When someone needs help, Sora is there to encourage them through talking and performing. When she meets a diablo prodigy named Rosetta, she managed to make a routine in which the two would have a ‘dual’: whoever can score first with their diablo will win. Here’s the hard part: the girls are on swinging platforms and cannot touch the ground. Rosetta ends up winning and what Sora ends up teaching her that performing diablo can be fun again instead of performing tricks like a machine.
Sora can be pretty thoughtful when the time comes it to be: when the Dracula show was scaring the children, she suggested to make a show for children between when the big show goes on. The rightfully named ‘Kids Stage’ was a big hit despite a few snags such as a performer not wanting to go on or Leon making some snide comment about how it was pointless. Sora, in a polite way, just told him to sod off and that this was what she wanted to do.
Sora is one of the kindest people anyone would meet. She will never say anything mean about someone and will always look on the positive side of things. However, she can be angry when pushed too far: Leon Oswald knows this first hand during the Dracula auditions when he badmouthed Sora’s former partner Layla, resulting in her yelling at him (and was another factor in her getting sick). The only person that can really make Sora mad is the spirit of the Stage, Fool. A spirit only seen by those who are meant to be on the Stage, he constantly makes Sora angry by being a pervert and she responds by throwing him out windows, once sticking him in a hot dog bun and trying to roast him in an oven, and occasionally gets locked in boxes. But Sora would never raise a hand to hurt anyone, even if they hit her first. An example is when another performer, May Wong, slaps her across the face and calling her coward for running away from the Stage and refusing to perform again. Sora believes that conflict make things worse and that is what inspires her to create a conflict-free stage where the audience and the cast‘s hearts can be one; she does this by performing the Angel’s Act in the production of Swan Lake at the end of the second season. I should add that it’s an actual one unlike the Festival.
Sora is also a bit oblivious when it comes to matters of the heart; she won’t know someone is interested in her romantically unless they say it to her face. It almost happened with her friend Ken Robbins several times when he nearly confessed his feelings for her; something usually got in the way before he could say it though. It’s only one way: when it involves another person, she automatically is the first to try and make a love connection.
She also has a simple mind set, making her a bit naïve at times. In the beginning, other performers used it to their advantage such as a simple thing like cleaning the stage. Sora was trying to be nice and start early on cleaning but the others sneered and gave her all their jobs, making her late for rehearsal. But being naïve can cause her to shut down during big performances such as the Circus Festival when the competitors would do anything to win. Which include cheating, and injuring other competitors.
So overall, Sora is a kind young woman who thinks about others above herself with a few small issues but doesn’t let them get to her. And if they do, she just gets up and goes for it again.
Abilites:
Sora is athletic as her profession shows. She’s flexible, has a high endurance for pain depending on the situation, and able to learn routines quickly. However, it’s not like crazy super strength. It’s just because of training so much. Other than that, she’s just a regular human.

You know those people that are so happy and optimistic that you wanna smack them because you feel bad and they don’t? Sora happens to be one of those people. She’s usually cheerful to the point that people don’t like her until they get to know her better. These words best describe her: determined/stubborn, loving, and naïve.
Let’s start with point one: determined. When someone says ‘Jump!’, Sora would do it and do it twice as hard. Sometimes, it’s not even on purpose but just people wanting to spite her. This is seen mostly in the beginning of the series when Sora joins the troupe by going through the boss instead of auditions like everyone else. In her defense, she was trying to catch a thief who took her stuff and made her late to the auditions. Some performers even twisted her words around and got the girl in trouble with the main star, who challenged her to perform her signature move in one week or to leave Kaleido Stage. While she doesn’t complete the routine, Layla, the main star in question, tells her that she did indeed do the Golden Phoenix and secured her spot in the troupe for the moment.
The important fact is when Sora is given a task, she works extremely hard to accomplish it, even getting sick or working with injuries to do what people ask of her; before her audition for Dracula, she practiced all night in the rain to perform a certain maneuver and ended up getting sick during the audition. Hence the stubborn part. She will work nonstop in order to get a move just right or to complete certain training. When given a chance to compete in the International Circus Festival, Leon Oswald tries to break her down by giving her a test: stand on one foot until he says stop. Now you would think this was easy, right?
Try doing it for days.
Or do it while standing on a moving bus or under cold water with tons of gallons pouring into your body. Does she give up? Not a chance.
However, like most humans, Sora can give up when the pressure is too much for her to handle like when she performs at the Festival. Earlier, she and her partner Yuri was helping a competing pair while they were helping them. When Sora found out that they were going to perform the same routine, she was heartbroken. The girl couldn’t bear to hurt anyone and it was worse when another pair jeered at her because she was from Kaleido Stage, not only the same place where the previous winners were but that TWO pairs were competing from. Right in the middle of the routine and on stage in front of thousands Sora stops and forfeits, stunning both friends, partner, and Layla who pretty much called her coward for what she did. Sometimes, she needs a push when she doesn’t want to do anything (Leon pulling her on stage during a performance of Romeo and Juliet despite her protests and attempts to leave; he doesn‘t let her go so easily.).
When someone needs help, Sora is there to encourage them through talking and performing. When she meets a diablo prodigy named Rosetta, she managed to make a routine in which the two would have a ‘dual’: whoever can score first with their diablo will win. Here’s the hard part: the girls are on swinging platforms and cannot touch the ground. Rosetta ends up winning and what Sora ends up teaching her that performing diablo can be fun again instead of performing tricks like a machine.
Sora can be pretty thoughtful when the time comes it to be: when the Dracula show was scaring the children, she suggested to make a show for children between when the big show goes on. The rightfully named ‘Kids Stage’ was a big hit despite a few snags such as a performer not wanting to go on or Leon making some snide comment about how it was pointless. Sora, in a polite way, just told him to sod off and that this was what she wanted to do.
Sora is one of the kindest people anyone would meet. She will never say anything mean about someone and will always look on the positive side of things. However, she can be angry when pushed too far: Leon Oswald knows this first hand during the Dracula auditions when he badmouthed Sora’s former partner Layla, resulting in her yelling at him (and was another factor in her getting sick). The only person that can really make Sora mad is the spirit of the Stage, Fool. A spirit only seen by those who are meant to be on the Stage, he constantly makes Sora angry by being a pervert and she responds by throwing him out windows, once sticking him in a hot dog bun and trying to roast him in an oven, and occasionally gets locked in boxes. But Sora would never raise a hand to hurt anyone, even if they hit her first. An example is when another performer, May Wong, slaps her across the face and calling her coward for running away from the Stage and refusing to perform again. Sora believes that conflict make things worse and that is what inspires her to create a conflict-free stage where the audience and the cast‘s hearts can be one; she does this by performing the Angel’s Act in the production of Swan Lake at the end of the second season. I should add that it’s an actual one unlike the Festival.
Sora is also a bit oblivious when it comes to matters of the heart; she won’t know someone is interested in her romantically unless they say it to her face. It almost happened with her friend Ken Robbins several times when he nearly confessed his feelings for her; something usually got in the way before he could say it though. It’s only one way: when it involves another person, she automatically is the first to try and make a love connection.
She also has a simple mind set, making her a bit naïve at times. In the beginning, other performers used it to their advantage such as a simple thing like cleaning the stage. Sora was trying to be nice and start early on cleaning but the others sneered and gave her all their jobs, making her late for rehearsal. But being naïve can cause her to shut down during big performances such as the Circus Festival when the competitors would do anything to win. Which include cheating, and injuring other competitors.
So overall, Sora is a kind young woman who thinks about others above herself with a few small issues but doesn’t let them get to her. And if they do, she just gets up and goes for it again.

History:
Alright, I'm going to start with two links since Homestuck is pretty complicated on its own to explain, especially with my characters little relevance to almost everything that's happened before her. So, here's a link to the Sgrub session which is the parallel to the kids' session of Sburb, except with the trolls. All that's really needed to know about Meenah's version of Sgrub is that it sucked. Hard. They lost horribly. This is elaborated on in Meenah's history. However, I'm going to talk past where the history ends since it hasn't been updated to the recent flash.
Anyways, Meenah was currently hunting down people to join her ghost army to fight against Lord English, which meant asking her former teammates. And to no one's surprised, no one took her up on her offer because they're all lazy losers who make excuses. This included talking to Cronus for all of five seconds before she walked away, get verbally harassed by Mituna, deal with an onslaught of Cronus and Kankri, talked with Meulin and Kurloz, and basically wasted her time trying to get people to join her. Eventually, she found keys that unlocked one of Karkat's memories of which he was hiding in so that she could talk to him. There, they had a feelings jam where she admitted that she was frustrated with the role of leader with a team that couldn't do anything, and ended up sharing a lot of feelings with Karkat and vice versa. He eventually offered to join her team if she could find no one else and if she appointed him Grand Threshecutioner when she became empress.
Meenah agreed.
And from there, she came across Terezi who Meenah admitted that she might be going on a date with Karkat (it's pretty clear that she's redromming for him hard). The conversation was very brief and even rather awkward, and the rest of the flash ended up with Meenah coming across Aranea's "psychiatry booth" where they gossip about their fellow alpha trolls and it's very cute.
And Meenah is pulled right before she possibly speaks to this mysterious Nitram figure.
Appearance:
Meenah is a tall troll on the thin side with long limbs and a sharp face. As a sea troll, she has grey skin, candy-corn coloured horns, fins on the sides of her face, yellow nails, and sharp, shark-like teeth. Her eyes are pure white as she is dead with literally no pupils, irises, nothing, and her features are very dynamic. Her hair is black, wild, and spiky, cut in a punk-like style, and there are two long braids that travel past her feet. She wears tyrian pink, cat-eye glasses, and lipstick of matching colour, along with a black shirt with the Pisces symbol in that same pink, and black pants, with pink shoes. Her shirts and pants are usually ripped to hell and too large for her. Notably, as she's God Tier, she has a pair of tyrian pink, jagged fairy wings that she keeps hidden under her clothes.
Personality:
Meenah is frequently defined as a huge "beach". Or in non-fish pun's terms -- a huge bitch. And that's not far from the truth. When Meenah was first introduced, she was some mysterious troll hunting down poor, sleeping Roxy Lalonde. She was abrasive and rude and that's pretty much how every meeting will go, regardless of her pulling a Captain Ahab or not. Meenah is very forward, first and foremost. She's straight to the point and will always say what's on her mind, regardless of whether it's rude or obnoxious. If she doesn't care, she will let whomever know that she doesn't care. If she think someone's acting a douche, she'll call them out on that. Because of this, it's rather hard to get along with her and it's frequently stated in canon that she doesn't have many friends, if any at all, and most of hers don't seem to like her (though that could be an exaggeration.) She's exceptionally mean at times, and incredibly sarcastic, with sharp deadpan wit, perhaps "making her the meanest out of all the adolescent trolls". But basically, she'll let one know what she thinks as she has no brain to mouth filter whatsoever.
And that's part of her charm.
Another part being that she's rather aggressive. It's rather unique to her world, as Beforus was the version of Alternia that was passive and lacked violence, and Meenah is someone who seems to constantly be looking for a fight, or a reason to threaten someone. She's quick to jump to insults or to brandish her trident menacingly and she can even be a bit quick-tempered because of this, snapping easily over simple things, such as people using fish puns (though this is only reserved for one person who deserves this). She finds Beforus boring, and Alternia much cooler simply because it was a kill-or-be-killed world and this is something that fascinates her. She tends to choose the more violent of options or the ones that require less thinking, such as gathering a ghost army to fight Lord English instead of taking Aranea's more reasonable route. However, this makes her unique among her friends, in that she's the only one willing to do anything because she grew up so different from the rest of them -- because she's so aggressive instead of passive. While the rest of the trolls gave excuses of why they couldn't help, and because of attitudes like this, led to a failed session, Meenah is determinable and refuses to be undermined or give up. She's rather stubborn and will find any way to a solution, even if it's something completely stupid or doesn't make sense at the time. And it's usually violent. She won't sit back and let things happen, and she isn't afraid of fighting someone who she frequently describes as invincible.
But remember the whole "quick-tempered" thing? One can't blame her for getting so frequently frustrated simply with the people she has to deal with. She has almost literal tolerance for them at times, and has even stated that she "fucking hates her friends" though that was probably out of sheer aggravation than anything else. But her annoyance with them doesn't mean that she isn't someone one can get along with. She's pretty gossipy and doesn't hesitate to talk bad about people when she wants to, if only just to point out their flaws because someone needs to say them, we're all thinking it.
Though Meenah can come off as uncaring (and she usually is), she is (or was) an heiress and that means she isn't completely socially incompetent. She knows when to joke and have fun, being that she's almost as rad as Latula and can rock the skateboard just as well as her. Meenah loves fish puns and can be considerably silly, seeing how she fawned over Kanaya and Rose maybe-dating and jokes around with Aranea in private (of whom she considers her closest friend). Meenah's not unlikeable, really, as much as she perhaps tries to come off that way. She can be amiable and even friendly when she tries, being the one who constantly helps people who have been exceptionally rude to her in the past (Mituna), complimenting people she's never met before, and so on. She's dorky and has a tendency to fangirl, particularly over herself... well, that is, her alternate self. She aspires to be the same as Her Imperious Condescension -- sexy, badass, tyrannical, and killing people because that's awesome. And she may have a bit of a bloated ego because of this.
Okay, not may have. She definitely does.
Meenah's particularly cocky and has a lot of self-confidence. She's very self-assured in herself and her skills and knows that she's probably the greatest troll people could meet. And the assurance of how cool her alternate self is pretty much sealed her feelings in herself, that the only person she has to live up to is herself and she did that pretty awesomely. However, despite how cool and rad she may act, she does doubt herself just a little bit, particularly in her leadership skills. She confided in Karkat that she thinks having to be a leader sucks, because so much is depended on you and there's so much responsibility. Especially when being a leader is really just like trying to herd cats -- nothing comes from it. That doesn't stop her from constantly claiming to be leader though, even if it simply may be an act she feels she needs to put up, or because she really just likes bossing people around. (It's probably the latter).
Meenah can also be rather greedy, and even a materialistic, considering how much she loves treasure -- particularly gold and despite having left the throne, doesn't hesitate to point out the whole "empress" thing and is constantly pawning off objects and hoarding treasure simply for the sake of selling them later. She really likes money and gold. Severely.
But so-on-and-so-forth, Meenah Peixes is full of arrogance and rudeness, and many will tell you she's horrible and even a little spiteful. But keep in mind that she's still an heiress and can do right when she wants to. When someone breaks a friend of her's skateboard? Well, that's probably the reason why she brings that mean person's treasured weapon over her knee. So she's not that bad.

Canon: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan
Canon Point: post-series

Gender: female
Orientation: straight
History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurren_Lagann
Growing up in the underground village of Ritona, Yoko lived her early childhood and pre-teen years there until gunmen had attacked her village and she moved to the above ground. She lived there with people from her own village and some from neighboring ones.
While Yoko looked far from her age, she was also rather mature though a typical sassy teenager at some moments. She then finally met Kamina and Simon while trying to shoot down gunmen that had attacked their village. Once Kamina and Simon joined her above ground is when her adventure really began. Yoko joined them with their misadventure of trying to take overcome all the beastmen and gunmen that had come to rule the above ground. During this time, she slowly began to fall in love with Kamina, exchanging one kiss before he was killed in action soon after that. Both she and Simon were left feeling empty and bitter at the world.
After the death of Kamina, She especially was defensive and had built a wall around her heart. After the time Simon had found Nia, Yoko at first was rather rude to the girl. Feeling a bit betrayed that Simon had found someone to mend himself as she felt more alone. When Nia proved herself to be kind that was when Yoko slowly broke down the walls around her heart. She, alongside Simon and the members of the Dai Gurren Brigade had fought battles, finally overcoming them and winning the land above ground once again for humans to live on peacefully. The story from there jumps to a few years into the future where Yoko had taken her separate ways with the others to start a new life.
She had taken a new name, Yomako, to become a teacher for a small school on an island not too far from Kamina City. There she fell in love with the students as if they were her own children. She was always smiling and caring for the students, showing discipline when necessary in her own ways.
Yoko rejoined the Dai Gurren Brigade soon after she became a teacher once she heard of the news of Simon being sent to jail and Nia's sudden change. Once she arrived she helped Simon escape and teamed up again with the Dai Gurren crew to defeat the Anti-Spiral. Around this time, Kittan pulled a similar move to Kamina, giving her a kiss goodbye before dying off. Even though She lost Kittan in the process,Yoko had known he was just like Kamina in being reckless for the greater good.
After the defeat of the Anti-Spiral and Nia’s return, Simon and Nia were to be married although Nia at the end disappeared from existence. Yoko parted ways with everyone again. She went back to her small school, planning on staying permanently as the school teacher of the small island.

Characters Name: Norman Babcock
Age: 11
Canon: Paranorman
Canon Point: Post-movie
Species: Human
Gender: Male in body and mind.
Orientation: I have no freaking idea. I don’t think he really gets what girls are yet honestly. Unsure to say the least.
History: Wiki and Wikia See what I did there?
Appearance: Look at this cutie
Personality: Norman is just a kid. That’s the first thing you need to know about him. The second thing you should know is that children can be cruel. Even more so when you’re different. With that said, it's no surprise that he was bullied for the longest time. It has nothing about how he looks or even who he is, but what he can see. Norman can see ghosts. He even speaks to them. This wouldn't be such a big deal if everyone else could too. Because the townspeople of Blithe Hollow can't see the spirits, they call him a liar. The entire town has labeled him a freak. So it's no surprise that he's withdrawn and only really talks when spoken too. He only really talks to his dead grandmother until the end of the movie. Because of this, Norman is quiet and tries to fade into the background. If they can't see him, they can't hurt him. Instead of socializing with other kids his age, he sits at home and watches zombie flicks too the point It's pretty much all he does. His room is plastered with zombie posters and he enjoys them. Zombies are his thing. The zombie obsession help keep the townsfolk away even more. This doesn't really change until he starts making friends with Neill. Neil, who is also bullied but for completely different reasons, latches onto Norman and won’t let go even though Norman tries to push him away. When push comes to shove and the town is falling down around them, Neil is there along with his brother and does his best to help. By the end of the movie, Norman is more open with people, but it's going to take him a bit to be at the "normal" level of kids his age. Until then he’s more comfortable around dead people than his own family.
Even though he deals with bullies and doesn't fight back, Norman is by no means weak. He confronts the witch who cursed his town and even though she tries to scare him away he doesn't leave. Due to that failure, she tries to kill him. At that point he could have given up and let her kill him. He doesn’t. Norman clings on to splintery branches and jumps long gaps to try to get closer to her. He wants to reason with her because he knows she's not evil. Norman could have tried to find a way to put her back to sleep or destroy her. Instead he tries to help her move on because in the end she's just a scared little girl who should have never been killed.
One of the best things about Norman is something you might not think of. He's a snarky kid. Can't punch the bully? Might as well insult him past his level of intelligence. Norman is by no means stupid. He knows what allegory means and he's only 11. For a kid trapped in a social bubble there isn't a lot to do.
He may not seem like it but he is truly brave. Without them knowing, he tries to save an entire town up people who hate him. At first he doesn’t want to do it. He’s just a kid. There’s no way a kid could take care of something this big. Norman ends up yelling at zombies and telling them how horrible they are. There’s a reason why they were cursed. They did something unforgivable.
Abilites: He can talk and see ghost. Random zombie movie trivia count? Also snark. He has it.
Other: Don’t try to fix his hair. Just don’t. It doesn’t work.
SAMPLES
First Person:
[When the feed starts the boy being filmed is obviously nervous. His eyes are shifting from the screen to behind him.]
Umm… Excuse me, but this isn’t my phone. I’m not sure who dropped it so… If you know whose it is could you please tell them to call it? I can try to get it back to them. Maybe? If that’s okay with them… If not I can leave it somewhere. So yeah… Bye.
[And it clicks off.]
Third Person:
He’s been staring at this raccoon for at least ten minutes. It’s dead obviously. Its spine is not just kind of, it is, squished. Yeah it’s kind of gross, but that’s not why he’s staring. Norman had just seen it get hit. He was on the other side of the street when the bright red car took that corner so much faster than was legal and just kept going. There’s no ghost. Now Norman’s never died before but, he’s pretty sure that counts as a traumatizing death. Hit by a car? Doesn’t sound like a fun way to go. Usually ghosts appear right after they die, right? He had gotten a few weird looks already just watching roadkill but… He’s going to be late getting home so he better go. His parents will freak if he doesn’t.
“Sorry I couldn’t stop it buddy…”
And then he walks away. Hopefully the raccoon is digging through garbage in the sky.

While you've covered some main personality points, please expand upon them a little more. The way the personality reads, it seems more like an embellished history section. Try to include a little more personality and how he deals and thinks about things. It would also be a good idea to go over your application and look for grammatical errors and missing words. In places, some sentences aren't quite clear due to missing words or small grammar slips, though it's not a big deal. Please expand both your first and third person samples.

Halloween 2011
Christmas 2011 (End of page 2, beginning of page 3)
Appearance: Here and Here.
Personality:
In a time where most rely on first impressions to build the foundation for their relationships, one may be surprised to discover that the nation treating them to red eyes and a fanged smile appears to be just another friendly occupant of the world. Romania seems to be a character with few regrets despite possessing his fair share of historical turmoil, as even the strips covering his stay with Russia depict him as a relatively chipper individual. He's open and friendly in most circumstances, treating those he comes across with a cheerful attitude and genuine enthusiasm. Many may even witness his romantic side, as he's certainly not ashamed when it comes to admitting his love for fairy tales and the princesses that are often associated with them.
Yet it's when one dives beneath the surface that they soon realize there's more to the nation than what they catch upon first glance. Whether it's a biproduct of his upbringing or simply a characteristic that's always existed with his people, it doesn't take much for Romania to reveal traits that would leave plenty of people wary. At best his tastes could be considered 'eclectic' while at worst most would be willing to describe it as 'eccentric', though the nation himself would be entertained by either description. He possesses a mischievous side that often bleeds into other social cues, as he's certainly not above being playful wherever he feels it's appropriate. But what may be the most worrying trait is the fact that what the nation finds 'appropriate' is terribly skewed compared to the norm. Romania's unknowingly morbid when it comes to his sense of humor and overall view of the world, completely unaware of the fact that what he shares may make his listeners uncomfortable. This was apparent in one conversation he shared with Bulgaria, showing obvious admiration for his boss that inspired the creation of Count Dracula and correcting the other nation's assumptions with recollections far more disturbing than what the fictional character has accomplished.
It may be an understatement to say that the nation holds his folklore in high regard. Much of his population remains convinced by the idea that the supernatural continues to be tangled into their everyday lives. Romania has a fondness for magic regardless if it's considered 'good' or 'bad', and regularly incorporates old traditions into many of his daily routines. It's as much of a part of him as the lands claimed under his name, and so he's more than willing to impart his knowledge in order to solve any issues, whether it's for bad cooking or banishing demons into a dimensional rift. It's stated that his specialty lies with good luck charms, though it extends to general magic as well.
It's a rare occurrence for Romania to show any ill feelings towards any particular person, but that certainly doesn't mean that there aren't any exceptions. The tension that exists between himself and Hungary has done so for several centuries, and it's unlikely that the two will settle their differences by the next century or two. One can easily describe their feud as being similar to that between cats and dogs, and neither is above using dirty tactics in order to prove their 'superiority'. A specific example includes Hungary going so far as to name her own dogs after Romania as a sort of insult of his status.
All in all, Romania is certainly an interesting nation to deal with, and while he's well-meaning all-in-all it wouldn't be wise to turn one's back to him right off the bat.
Abilites: As an embodiment of a nation, Romania possesses traits commonly shared by his kind. He's 'immortal' in the sense that his existence is connected to the physical landmass of Romania, so his longevity and endurance is much higher compared to humans. However, that also means he's affected by the state of his government and economy. Aside from that, it's been previously mentioned that he has a fondness for magic, being one of the nations where this is confirmed in canon.

Personality:
If one were to describe Nunnally, they would say she is kind hearted, patient, and understanding. We also see in ‘Nightmare of Nunnally’ that she is a strong woman despite the inability to walk or see. While people do notice her kindness, they are unaware that she too can get angry and feel like someone should pay for their crimes. However, she doesn’t go hellbent on the subject like others.
Nunnally is extremely kind hearted and judges no one until she understands who the person is. Unlike other Britannians or royals, she doesn’t refer to the Japanese as ‘Elevens’, the name given to them. Instead, she calls them Japanese. In general, she treats everyone with the same respect and kindness even if they’re mean and spiteful to her. When a group of girls arrive to bully Nunnally, she replies in a neutral way and excuses herself to go to class. But the head bully, Ekterina, goes a bit further by saying that Nunnally is a freeloader and from ‘some poor noble family’. Instead of ranting or getting angry, she replies:

When a group of girls arrive to bully Nunnally, she replies in a neutral way and excuses herself to go to class. But the head bully, Ekterina, goes a bit further by saying that Nunnally is a freeloader and from ‘some poor noble family’. Instead of ranting or getting angry, she replies:
“I understand that you were born to high nobility. But that is no concern to me.”
We see in this statement that Nunnally’s view of people is not skewed by most of her family’s vision. While she is a princess, she doesn’t throw that title around but instead taking the higher road as some would say. We see that she has made friends with the student council and Milly Ashford whose family had taken in Nunnally and Lelouch after the war. While the older woman is related to Nunnally’s departed mother, her family was stripped of their nobility status. Poor or rich, it doesn’t matter to Nunnally: it’s the character that matters in her eyes.
Along with this kindness, we can also say that Nunnally can be stubborn at times. The most obvious is when Lelouch tells her and Nemo not to get involved in fighting and she ends up doing it by entering the battles at Saitama and Narita. During the hostage situation at Lake Kawaguchi, Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe tells her that the “stubbornness must run in the bloodline” after she tells him that she had no intention of helping him. It didn’t help that he knew her as a princess and revealed it. Even after explaining his idea, she still refuses to help him.
With this stubbornness, Nunnally also shows maturity that we don’t see in the original version. Like in the previous examples with the bullies and Kusakabe, she doesn’t whimper or whine but holds steady to her side despite how much they rant and rave in order to win. She keeps her emotions in check during the meeting until Kusakabe takes Alice and threatens to kill her if she didn’t cooperate. It ended with them shooting Alice and Nunnally in despair, which summoned her Knightmare Frame below her feet.
Family and friends are important to Nunnally; they’re everything to her. We see the relationships with everyone she surrounds herself with. The main one is with Lelouch: the caring older brother and how big of an impact we see he has made on her. Unlike in ‘Lelouch of the Rebellion’ in which Nunnally is the driving force, in Nightmare of Nunnally, Lelouch is Nunnally’s driving force for why she fights with Nemo and has the power of geass. Instead of returning to Ashford Academy like in LoR, he vanishes after C.C. awakens. After he vanishes, we see how much it impacts her daily life and how she seems to dislike her own country. Her view changes in the end.
When she is reunited with him, it’s bittersweet because now he must take the mantle of C.C. the Demon King and spread chaos throughout the world. But despite this, there will always be the love they share as siblings. Another driving force in the series is Nunnally’s best friend Alice (aka the female Suzaku minus the spin kicks): she’s seen hanging with Nunnally a few times within the series, helping her get rid of the bullies mentioned above (by cleverly removing the other girls’ skirts thanks to her geass called ‘The Speed’) and being there when the princess needs her.
Alice in Nunnally’s mind is another source of courage, someone who has the ability to stand up to people and ideals that seem wrong: the power that she lacks even with geass and Nemo.
While Nunnally is all sweet and kind hearted, don’t assume that she can’t get angry. After her brother vanishes, she travels to the Shinjuku Ghetto alone. When she arrives, the girl smells charred flesh and the like.
Of course she has the right to be pissed off: her mother dies right in front of her, and she loses her ability to see and walk all in the same day, gets sent to Japan as a political hostage and goes into hiding. After making the contract with Nemo, the doll takes the form of an albino Nunnally and tells her that as her payment, she had taken all the darkness in her heart. This shows that while the girl shows everyone how sweet and kind she can be, that she too has darker thoughts and feelings. Even when she doesn’t want to acknowledge it.
Despite having these feelings, Nunnally cannot bring herself to do the darker things such as kill or hurt anyone. She is seen talking with Nemo to only disable the Knightmares attacking them and not aim to kill. When Alice reveals herself to be working against them, Nemo tells Nunnally to kill her. However, she refuses to do so and breaks the contract with the instrument, losing her power.
Abilites:
In the series, Nunnally has the ability of Geass, a power that can do many different things. While in ‘Lelouch of the Rebellion’, it focuses more on the mental abilities such as ‘Absolute Obedience’ or Mao’s ability to read minds, ‘Nightmare of Nunnally’ makes them physical. Examples include Alice’s ‘The Speed’ in which she can move lightning fast or one of the Irregulars’ ‘The Land’ in which they could map out a terrain and track someone.
Nunnally in the series has TWO Geass abilities: one by a contract with Nemo and one born within her. The first Geass given by Nemo gives her the ability to ‘read the lines of the future’: basically premonition. The second, known as a Wired, not needed to make a contract but rather born with, is called ‘The Zero’: the ability to return everything to ‘zero’. When I say everything, I mean everything. Humankind would become one collective being, therefore erasing the idea of conflict ever again. Marianne and Charles tried to convince Nunnally to use it, making their dream of a kind and gentle world a reality. In the end, she chose to have hope in humanity and not open Heaven's Door.
*Note* I understand that this power seems to be like godmodding and given that everyone is stripped from their powers upon entering, I'm fine with any judgement given when it comes to regaining it.
Other: I understand that there is a CG cast here and the situation going on. If accepted, I will talk with them about how things will go and what I can do.

”I’m such an idiot! What did I think I could do here with legs like mine!? Is it not enough that my mother and the freedom of my body have been taken from me!? Does my brother have to be taken too!? GIVE HIM BACK! GIVE BACK MY PRECIOUS BROTHER!”
Of course she has the right to be pissed off: her mother dies right in front of her, and she loses her ability to see and walk all in the same day, gets sent to Japan as a political hostage and goes into hiding.

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Kogasa Tatara
Age: Somewhere between 80-100 years old
Canon: Touhou Project
Canon Point: After the events of Ten Desires
Species: Karakasa obake
Gender: Female
Orientation: In the strictest sense of the word, Kogasa is a sentient umbrella, so she probably can't be said to have an orientation in the way we'd normally think of it, so let's go with "unknown. "
History: Over here
Appearance: Taken from the Tohuou Wiki: Kogasa has turquoise hair, one turquoise eye and one red eye. Wears a blue-green vest with white sleeves and a light blue skirt. Uses a purple umbrella with an eye and a tongue protruding from it. The design purpose of her eyes is likely to be retaining the appearance of Karakasa obake, which is an one-eyed youkai, by blending her right eye into her hair that has the same color, and to high-light the left-red eye as an one-eyed one. Here is a picture!
Personality: Perhaps appropriately since she spends most of her time drifting along on the wind, Kogasa is a bit of an airhead. She has trouble paying attention to her surroundings, and often misinterprets things people are saying to her in favor of the way she wants to hear them. This is usually in relation to her attempts to surprise people, as she desperately grasps at straws for new hints and tricks to try. When Marisa mentions how soft Kogasa is compared to other youkai, for example, she draws a comparison with konjac jelly, assuming that she can use it to scare humans. She also takes a passing remark about the daytime to mean that it being night is all that's needed to scare people.
While Kogasa's demeanor is generally cheerful, she also harbors a deep loneliness stemming from her origin as a youkai. The reason she tries so earnestly at surprising people is that this is really the only way she knows of to make friends, something she never had in her former life as a normal umbrella. When she fails often enough or spectacularly enough in trying to surprise someone, Kogasa can sometimes get depressed, wondering why she became a youkai in the first place if she's so bad at the only thing she's supposed to be good at. She also often recalls how she was thrown away and ignored by humans over something trivial like being the wrong color, and because of this it's hard for her to ever feel truly close to someone for fear of being discarded again.
Despite harboring sadness and a certain amount of resentment over being forgotten by humans, Kogasa is relatively harmless and gentle, and her 'attacks' only ever amount to trying to frighten or surprise them. The worst thing she ever threatens to do is going down to mess up Sanae's shrine, and even then this is more out of frustration at being beaten than anything else. Because of this, she's actually one of the weakest youkai in the setting, and gets picked on by a fair portion of the rest of the cast of the games as a result, to the point where even asking for help getting rid of Yoshika when she's trying to haunt the graveyard outside the Myouren Temple gets her beaten up for no good reason.
Abilites: As a karakasa obake, Kogasa's stock in trade is scaring people. Unfortunately, she's pretty terrible at it, and we never really ever see her succeed at her attempts at any point in canon. Of course, this also doesn't stop her from trying. Aside from that, she is adept at flight with the aid of her umbrella, and is also capable of using danmaku, a non-lethal form of combat used by all Touhou characters that takes the form of firing energy bullets in various patterns.
Other: None
SAMPLES
First Person: Dear mun entry
Third Person:
Ever since coming to this town, Kogasa felt completely lost without her umbrella. It had been her constant companion ever since she first gained consciousness as a youkai, and is the only thing that had never left her side the entire time. Friends and acquaintances came and went - such is the life of one who spends all her time drifting on the wind - but the umbrella had always been there for her. It's no wonder she'd been moping around in her more private moments, when none of the residents of the Myouren Temple were watching.
But today, Kogasa had decided to do something about her loneliness. Today, she was out shopping for a new umbrella. It certainly wouldn't be the same as the one from home - after all, what would be the point of attaching an eye and a tongue to something simply meant to shield one from the rain - but it would at least give her some comfort and familiarity while she waited to get the real one back. As Kogasa browsed the aisles, she picked up and opened every last umbrella, testing them one by one to see if any of them felt the same. Regrettably, none of them did.
"It's useless after all, isn't it..." she thought to herself, frowning as she began walking toward the door. But just before leaving, something buried in the bargain bin caught her eye. Curious, Kogasa went over to check and see if that flash of color is what she thought it was. Fishing the item out, it turned out to be a heavily discounted umbrella with a ridiculous and garish looking checkerboard pattern on it. Kogasa looked at the price tag, noticing the many red lines through successively lower prices, and smiled to herself.
"You're all alone too, aren't you? Nobody wanted you because you looked funny." Laughing a little, she hugged the umbrella close as she headed for the registers. "Don't worry. I know how you feel. I'll give you a good home."

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Kogasa Tatara
Age: Somewhere between 80-100 years old
Canon: Touhou Project
Canon Point: After the events of Ten Desires
Species: Karakasa obake
Gender: Female
Orientation: In the strictest sense of the word, Kogasa is a sentient umbrella, so she probably can't be said to have an orientation in the way we'd normally think of it, so let's go with "unknown. "
History: Over here
Appearance: Taken from the Tohuou Wiki: Kogasa has turquoise hair, one turquoise eye and one red eye. Wears a blue-green vest with white sleeves and a light blue skirt. Uses a purple umbrella with an eye and a tongue protruding from it. The design purpose of her eyes is likely to be retaining the appearance of Karakasa obake, which is an one-eyed youkai, by blending her right eye into her hair that has the same color, and to high-light the left-red eye as an one-eyed one. Here is a picture!
Personality: Perhaps appropriately since she spends most of her time drifting along on the wind, Kogasa is a bit of an airhead. She has trouble paying attention to her surroundings, and often misinterprets things people are saying to her in favor of the way she wants to hear them. This is usually in relation to her attempts to surprise people, as she desperately grasps at straws for new hints and tricks to try. When Marisa mentions how soft Kogasa is compared to other youkai, for example, she draws a comparison with konjac jelly, assuming that she can use it to scare humans. She also takes a passing remark about the daytime to mean that it being night is all that's needed to scare people.
While Kogasa's demeanor is generally cheerful, she also harbors a deep loneliness stemming from her origin as a youkai. The reason she tries so earnestly at surprising people is that this is really the only way she knows of to make friends, something she never had in her former life as a normal umbrella. When she fails often enough or spectacularly enough in trying to surprise someone, Kogasa can sometimes get depressed, wondering why she became a youkai in the first place if she's so bad at the only thing she's supposed to be good at. She also often recalls how she was thrown away and ignored by humans over something trivial like being the wrong color, and because of this it's hard for her to ever feel truly close to someone for fear of being discarded again.
Despite harboring sadness and a certain amount of resentment over being forgotten by humans, Kogasa is relatively harmless and gentle, and her 'attacks' only ever amount to trying to frighten or surprise them. The worst thing she ever threatens to do is going down to mess up Sanae's shrine, and even then this is more out of frustration at being beaten than anything else. Because of this, she's actually one of the weakest youkai in the setting, and gets picked on by a fair portion of the rest of the cast of the games as a result, to the point where even asking for help getting rid of Yoshika when she's trying to haunt the graveyard outside the Myouren Temple gets her beaten up for no good reason.
Abilites: As a karakasa obake, Kogasa's stock in trade is scaring people. Unfortunately, she's pretty terrible at it, and we never really ever see her succeed at her attempts at any point in canon. Of course, this also doesn't stop her from trying. Aside from that, she is adept at flight with the aid of her umbrella, and is also capable of using danmaku, a non-lethal form of combat used by all Touhou characters that takes the form of firing energy bullets in various patterns.

SAMPLES
First Person: Dear mun entry
Third Person:
Ever since coming to this town, Kogasa felt completely lost without her umbrella. It had been her constant companion ever since she first gained consciousness as a youkai, and is the only thing that had never left her side the entire time. Friends and acquaintances came and went - such is the life of one who spends all her time drifting on the wind - but the umbrella had always been there for her. It's no wonder she'd been moping around in her more private moments, when none of the residents of the Myouren Temple were watching.
But today, Kogasa had decided to do something about her loneliness. Today, she was out shopping for a new umbrella. It certainly wouldn't be the same as the one from home - after all, what would be the point of attaching an eye and a tongue to something simply meant to shield one from the rain - but it would at least give her some comfort and familiarity while she waited to get the real one back. As Kogasa browsed the aisles, she picked up and opened every last umbrella, testing them one by one to see if any of them felt the same. Regrettably, none of them did.
"It's useless after all, isn't it..." she thought to herself, frowning as she began walking toward the door. But just before leaving, something buried in the bargain bin caught her eye. Curious, Kogasa went over to check and see if that flash of color is what she thought it was. Fishing the item out, it turned out to be a heavily discounted umbrella with a ridiculous and garish looking checkerboard pattern on it. Kogasa looked at the price tag, noticing the many red lines through successively lower prices, and smiled to herself.
"You're all alone too, aren't you? Nobody wanted you because you looked funny." Laughing a little, she hugged the umbrella close as she headed for the registers. "Don't worry. I know how you feel. I'll give you a good home."

Canon Point: Dangan Ronpa, Chapter 6
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Orientation: Heterosexual. I'd say that Junko seems to be more interested in males even though it wouldn't honestly matter to her! I'd also like to note that she can been seen as quite the flirtatious character which seems to fit in with her grand personality!
!! SUPER DUPER SPOILER WARNING !!History:
Being one of the many students selected to join Hope's Peak Academy, Junko Enoshima when first introduced isn't who she seems. She happens to get along with the other students, forming a bond with Naegi during her free times events and mentioning that she was once homeless before she found herself in attendance at the academy but that was because of other reasons. Naegi seemed to notice as soon as they met that something was wrong about this "Junko", that she didn't look like the Junko he'd seen in the Hope's Peak Forums before attending and he happened to be right seeing as the real Junko is in fact the Super High-School Level Fashion Girl.
After the first murder happens, Monobear's announcement of finding a dead body sounded throughout the school and then all students had to gather inside the auditorium where he appears again mentioning that they must find the culprit, however Monobear makes lack of Sayaka's murder which causes Junko in a fit of rage to attack the bear and breaking one of the school rules of showing violence towards the headmaster and thus is murdered early on in the game for showing her rage and breaking a very important school rule.
However.... all does not stay as it seems
Truthfully Junko and her older twin sister Mukuro Ikusaba traded places at the last moment so that the real Junko could become the Mastermind and continue on in her fit despair thus making Mukuro turn into Junko and taking her spot in the Despair game while Junko watched everything, every little thing as it happened. Despite being introduced as Super High-School Level Fashion Girl it is eventually learned of that her true title is Super High-School Level Despair and her sister is Super High-School Level Solider but they are both in fact SHSL Despairs which Junko refers to them both as the "Despair Sisters".
Eventually as she is found out, the lasting students come to know the truth behind her goals, and that all this time she had been broadcasting the school life of mutual killings on TV over the whole of Japan to show how despair-worthy it was that the students killed one another for the whole sake of hoping to live plus she and her followers had done some messed up things to the outside world. When asked by the lasting students how she could kill her own sister, Junko doesn't flinch or waver as she starts to explain [through her many different despair-filled personalities!] that she had started to become bored with Mukuro and that killing her would be what the audience would have wanted, which Junko had to live up and entertain the crowd watching back home.
It is then we learn of how mentally unstable and how despair-obsessed Junko Enoshima truly is.
At the end of Dangan Ronpa the students that managed to survive fought back against her and in the end Junko went willingly to her own suicide [as promised!] participating in the past executions not before claiming in a very excited voice about her own execution as she finally got to die being so despair-filled. After her death the remaining survivors managed to leave the school successfully, finally graduating and thus the despair-filled world manages to come and end.
Appearance: Here, Here, Here, and lastly Here
History: Here. The only material not covered is Judal telling Sinbad that the Kou Empire and Sindria are at war, Kougyoku's spar with Sinbad and how she becomes friends with Alibaba, which both happen during the second Sindria arc.
Judal arrives in Sindria and tells Sinbad that the Kou Empire is enemies with the country. Kougyoku is shocked to hear this. She doesn't give Judal an answer when he offers to make her a general, but she asks Sinbad for an audience later on and apologizes for Judal's behavior. Soon after that is her encounter with Alibaba when he recovers from his curse. He teaches her how to make a flower crown. Later on, when Kougyoku shows him her flower crown while he is practicing his Djinn equip, she offers to spar with Alibaba, who is reluctant to accept. Sinbad takes her up on the offer instead. Although Kougyoku uses her Extreme Magic, Sinbad wins the spar. She and Alibaba become friends after they reveal their pasts to each other. Kougyoku insists on becoming friends because they share similar backgrounds. She is ecstatic when Alibaba agrees.
Appearance: Here.
Personality: Sheltered rich girl who doesn't have any friends due to her social standing. You know the type, but I can't end my app on that note! There's more to Kougyoku than that. Honest.
To be fair, she doesn't seem like this at all when she first appears as an enemy to Aladdin and his companions. She is vicious in battle, and her tongue is as sharp as her sword as she tells her minions to get rid of the "trash" that dared to touch the Kou Empire's Magi. In Balbadd's court, she is shown to be a princess who is capable of standing her ground and negotiating as a representative of her country. If she wants to do it, she you bet she will! That is the way she lives her life. The headstrong Princess Kougyoku is a force to be reckoned with! Until she is pacified by Sinbad.
After she falls in love for the first time with the strong and handsome king of Sindria, we begin to see another side of her. She is usually a chipper and girlish person who is easily excited. Her face flushes quickly at the sight of her crush or the sounds of a dangerous plot that threatens her! Battles where she can use her power to the fullest get her heart pumping! And joy comes to her just as swiftly when she accomplishes something, no matter how big or small. She is proud of everything she can do well! And very ashamed of the things she can't do. She needs people to feed her ego, which admittedly, isn't very big to begin with. Yes, what they did was cool, but she was pretty good, too. Right? Right.
But while we can assume she is as educated as any other member of royalty, Kougyoku is not as wise as her brothers and she is quick to jump to conclusions. She doesn't observe the smaller details and this ended with her making quite a diplomatic mess out of everything once! In a sense, Kougyoku is also innocent: she is easy to influence, so she often gets caught up in the moment and fails to see what the other party is leading her on. An example of how bad it can get: Judal once tricked her into taking a bath with pigs! The same old trick doesn't work all the time, though; she does have moments when she can discern truth from lies, such as her love for Sinbad actually being unrequited.
It isn't only love that Kougyoku has problems with. As the daughter of the current emperor and a prostitute, Kougyoku's position isn't very high. To add to that, she is eighth princess in line for the throne. Eighth! Because of this, she led a lonely life. Living in a castle full of people who had either thought lowly of her as a bastard child or put her on a pedestal as a princess, Kougyoku never had any real friends to speak of and often played with her attendants or by herself. She is awkward when it comes to making personal connections, often turning her head when she attempts to be cordial. Her shyness makes her easy to spot in a row of court ladies with their heads held up high. She is willful, true, but she is afraid of standing up for herself against the authorities--namely, her family. Her low self-esteem is a big part of her personality, but it wasn't until she was appointed as King candidate that it took a turn for the better. She once confided in Alibaba that she was grateful to Judal and her brother Kouen for recognizing her and giving her a chance to shine.
She still sucks at making friends.
Ultimately, Kougyoku is driven by a desire for a place where she is needed, a place where she is loved. It's clear in her thoughts, emotions and behavior--the constant affirmation she needs to placate her insecurities, the happiness she feels when she finds acceptance, and the urgency to protect the people important to her.
Abilities:
Nerfed. She possesses a Metal Vessel in the form of her hairpin which holds Vinea, the Djinn of sorrow and isolation. With this Djinn, she can manipulate water and use it to attack her foes. She is talented in using her Djinn and performing Djinn Equip, which enables her to equip her weapon and even her entire body with the power of her Djinn. As a Metal Vessel user, she is capable of performing Extreme Magic.
Since these abilities will be null upon entering Holly Heights, she will only be left with her swordplay and her talent for playing make-believe by herself. Yeah.

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Fang
Age: 16
Canon: Maximum Ride
Canon Point: Nevermore, near the end, during fight with Dylan
Species: Bird-human hybrid; “Avian American”
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual. His main love interest in the novels is female, and everyone else he temporarily shows an interest in during the course of the series is also female. He also responds to a comment on his blog saying he isn’t gay.
History: Fang’s early life was something straight out of nightmares: he spent his first years being experimented upon by mad-scientist types. The place in which he lived was called “The School”, but bore little resemblance to a place of learning. Fang and other experiments like himself lived in dog cages, and specimens whose DNA modifications turned out less stable than his died in front of his eyes on a regular basis.
Like many of the children at the School, Fang didn’t know anything about where he came from before that, and he never learned who his parents were or had any contact with them. The “family” that he came to know as his own were known as “the Flock”, and consisted of a group of birdkids like himself: Max, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel. Fang was the second oldest member of the group, and considered the right-wing-man of the leader Max.
When the Flock was taken away from the School by a scientist named Jeb, their lives improved for a while. Jeb took them away to a place where they could live in peace, and they lived in a happy home together with their savior for a while. When Jeb disappeared, it was believed by the Flock that he had died, and Max stepped into a somewhat parental role with the other members. While Jeb did eventually show up again, he was never considered entirely trustworthy after that, and never resumed his role with the Flock.
When Fang was fourteen, a lot of things changed. An attack by other genetically altered beings - known as “Erasers” and part-wolf - caused the Flock to have to leave their home, and they took off running. Or flying, as it were. This would begin a series of adventures that spans eight novels, through which Fang plays a significant role.
Fang starts out very quiet, so much so that people often forget that he’s around. However, as the story goes on and the Flock tries to solve various mysteries about both their current situation and their origins, he begins to take more and more active roles. It started fairly simply: he started a blog about the birdkids and their lives, garnering attention mostly from young people and trying to stir up support for their cause.
Later, when Max allowed an Eraser who had previously been an enemy to stay with the Flock after helping them, Fang decided that he couldn’t live with that situation and took Iggy and Gasman and left. This brief split of the Flock was a hard time for everyone involved, and didn’t last long. When Max and her remaining followers were in danger, Fang both mobilized kids to help them through his blog and headed off to help them himself. He and his part of the Flock were delayed, but the blog readers proved to be an asset in the fight that followed.
This wasn’t to be the only time Fang fled his little ragtag adoptive family. A budding romantic relationship between himself and Max led to the other member’s of the Flock feeling left out and lacking leadership, and the two teenagers wound up taking off on their own again. Of course, as before, danger brought the Flock back together.
But danger could separate them as well. When the youngest member of the group, Angel, pronounced that Fang would be the first to die, it was very unsettling. And when he did die - briefly - , it became even more of an issue. Even though he was brought back to life, it proved that he was always going to be in danger, and a danger to those around him. At the time, he didn’t know why. A newcomer to the Flock - a cloned birdkid named Dylan who had been created to be Max’s “perfect other half” - wound up giving Fang the last push that he needed to take action anew. This time, that action was setting off to become leader of his own group of enhanced kids.
Fang’s “gang” started out with a few kids who he met through his blog, and grew to include a clone of Max. It didn’t last long, and didn’t end well. The clone, who now called herself Maya, wound up dying, and two other member’s of Fang’s group wound up betraying him because they would rather protect themselves than do anything about a threat to humanity. Fang wound up heading back to the Flock, desperate to find Max and help her despite all the complicated issues between them.
He got there through hitchhiking and walking, unable to fly because of injuries sustained in a fight against yet another incarnation of the Erasers. Soon afterward, he was off with the Flock to help rescue Angel, who had been presumed dead but was discovered to have been taken by the scientists again instead.
Immediately following Angels rescue, more trouble ensued for the Flock. The Erasers, including a newly-cloned version of an old acquaintance, came knocking, along with their old ‘friend’ Jeb. And the news that Jeb brought with him was shocking: not only was Fang supposed to die, he was being targeted because his DNA held the key to immortality. This didn’t mean that Fang himself was necessarily immortal, but his lifespan was unknown and his DNA was infinitely regenerative. The scientific community was in an uproar, and everyone wanted their hands on Fang. Jeb claimed to want to kill Fang to save him from years of experimentation, from being put into a vegetative state and kept alive that way indefinitely.
The Flock, of course, wasn’t simply going to accept that Fang had to die. They fought as they had always fought, and with the help of their newest member Dylan, managed to persevere over the Erasers. When that was accomplished, however, Dylan turned to attack Fang himself, also tasked with the job of taking him out and determined to do so.
It’s from this point that Fang will come into Holly Heights, his last memory being of Dylan’s hands around his throat, Max trying to protect him, and death likely just a moment away.
Appearance: http://i.imgur.com/MNMcv.jpg
Personality: For much of his life, Fang was a very quiet boy, tending to fade into the background. Even after leaving the School and escaping the scientists, he let the more talkative members of his Flock carry conversations while he made the occasional snarky comment or tease. As the second oldest of his group, he tended to think of himself as somewhat responsible for the younger members.
Early on, Fang learned that people aside from his Flock were not to be trusted, and he wasn’t quick to socialize with anyone else. Eventually, however, he began to believe that the Flock could benefit from the help of outsiders, as long as there was a way to control the information that got out about them. Thus began the blog, and Fang’s increased dependence on it (and his readers) showed an underlying desire for a support network and to move outside his own secret little world. This newfound ability to trust others doesn’t extend to adults, only kids.
Fang’s personal values are at times quite noble. Despite his sometimes rudeness, he wants to help others, and would sacrifice himself not only for his Flock, but often for others in need. When the question of whether to leave the human race to die while saving themselves or do what they could to help everyone came up, Fang came down quite firmly on the side of helping others. This caused a rift in his gang and led up to a betrayal, but Fang didn’t change his mind.
Like most individuals with strong beliefs, however, Fang also suffers from a certain amount of guilt. He’s made some very serious mistakes over the course of his young life, some of which come with body counts. He says himself that he has regrets when he’s faced with the death of Ari, who had been an enemy and nearly killed Fang, but ultimately chose to help the Flock and died during that endeavor. Fang’s distrust of and refusal to be around Ari caused a rift which for a while separated his little adoptive family.
Fang’s regrets also extend to his relationships with individuals. Like most people who see themselves as “strong” or “capable”, every situation in which he has felt helpless or been unable to save a friend in danger weighs on him heavily. He has been at least partially responsible for most of the situation in which the Flock has split up, and has treated others harshly at times when he felt hurt himself.
While he is trying to overcome these things, changes in behavior patterns and thought processes take time, and he has a tendency to be disheartened by his failures and to take his anger at situations out on others, at times. Even, or perhaps especially, on those he loves. He’s a pretty classic example of a teenager with issues who has a good heart hidden somewhere underneath them.
Abilites: As an avian-human hybrid, Fang has quite a few advantages over humans. He has wings, can fly at outrageous speeds, and maneuver well both on the ground and in the air. He has enhanced vision, like hawk eyes. He’s both stronger and faster than a human being, and can deliver blows with crushing force. Accelerated healing is another perk of his genetic alteration, and most injuries get better within a couple of days. Even more than others of his kind, Fang specifically is very hard to kill, and has recovered from injuries that should have been fatal more than once.
A more recent power development is the ability to camouflage himself, as long as he doesn’t move. While sitting directly in front of others who are actually looking right at him, he can disappear. The effect goes away as soon as he moves, however.
In anticipation of an apocalypse that would leave most of the world underwater, Fang’s kind were also created with an ability to breathe underwater, which is also a recent manifestation and something he would still be getting used to.
Without his special bird-kid powers, Fang would still have access to the basic fighting ability that he’s both trained and developed through experience. He’s also quite streetwise, used to having to survive in less than ideal living conditions, and able to take care of himself. His education is somewhat spotty, and has a lot of gaps, but he’s been doing a lot of self-study recently. He’s used to trying to puzzle his way through complicated schemes and the motivations of others.

SAMPLES
First Person: [He wavers for quite some time about how to attempt communication. He hasn’t entirely gotten over his awkwardness with people, and the idea of just displaying himself on video to a bunch of strangers is not a pleasant one. He’s been there, done that. Fame is overrated.
Instead, he chooses text.]
Yo.
I guess there’s a lot of WTF that goes around here, so my one more voice isn’t going to make much difference. It’s not everyday that people just pop into some other world, though I’d say my life is weirder than most.
I can probably find the answers to my questions better looking around than this, but whatevs. I’ll introduce myself, anyway.
I’m Fang. At home I guess I’m known for being a blogger. Hit me up if you want to talk sometime, I have a feeling I’m going to need all the help I can get to stay sane in a place like this.
Third Person: He’s at the top of the tree again. It’s not something that he sets out to do; it just seems to happen. One minute he’ll be standing on the ground, looking up, and the next he’s climbing.
The climb itself is easy. Even though he’s no longer super-powered, Fang is still long-limbed, young, and reasonably athletic. He hauls himself up branch after branch without being winded by the effort, then sits as high up as he can get before the branches start cracking under his weight.
It’s not like flying. Not even when the wind stirs around his shoes, or causes his hair to press against his face. But it’s closer, as close as he can get, at the moment. It’s better than standing on the ground and stretching his hands up toward the sky, though he’s tried that too.
When he’s finally distracted from communing with the wind, it’s by someone looking up worriedly. A stranger, an adult, who seems to think that he’s going to fall and break his neck and really should come down. Some idiot who thinks they have a right to tell him what to do, even if they don’t know him.
He should be grateful for the concern, he’s pretty sure that’s how you’re supposed to react. Instead, he slinks back against the trunk of the tree - forgetting he can no longer disappear - closes his eyes, and blocks the voice out.

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Fang
Age: 16
Canon: Maximum Ride
Canon Point: Nevermore, near the end, during fight with Dylan
Species: Bird-human hybrid; “Avian American”
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual. His main love interest in the novels is female, and everyone else he temporarily shows an interest in during the course of the series is also female. He also responds to a comment on his blog saying he isn’t gay.
History: Fang’s early life was something straight out of nightmares: he spent his first years being experimented upon by mad-scientist types. The place in which he lived was called “The School”, but bore little resemblance to a place of learning. Fang and other experiments like himself lived in dog cages, and specimens whose DNA modifications turned out less stable than his died in front of his eyes on a regular basis.
Like many of the children at the School, Fang didn’t know anything about where he came from before that, and he never learned who his parents were or had any contact with them. The “family” that he came to know as his own were known as “the Flock”, and consisted of a group of birdkids like himself: Max, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel. Fang was the second oldest member of the group, and considered the right-wing-man of the leader Max.
When the Flock was taken away from the School by a scientist named Jeb, their lives improved for a while. Jeb took them away to a place where they could live in peace, and they lived in a happy home together with their savior for a while. When Jeb disappeared, it was believed by the Flock that he had died, and Max stepped into a somewhat parental role with the other members. While Jeb did eventually show up again, he was never considered entirely trustworthy after that, and never resumed his role with the Flock.
When Fang was fourteen, a lot of things changed. An attack by other genetically altered beings - known as “Erasers” and part-wolf - caused the Flock to have to leave their home, and they took off running. Or flying, as it were. This would begin a series of adventures that spans eight novels, through which Fang plays a significant role.
Fang starts out very quiet, so much so that people often forget that he’s around. However, as the story goes on and the Flock tries to solve various mysteries about both their current situation and their origins, he begins to take more and more active roles. It started fairly simply: he started a blog about the birdkids and their lives, garnering attention mostly from young people and trying to stir up support for their cause.
Later, when Max allowed an Eraser who had previously been an enemy to stay with the Flock after helping them, Fang decided that he couldn’t live with that situation and took Iggy and Gasman and left. This brief split of the Flock was a hard time for everyone involved, and didn’t last long. When Max and her remaining followers were in danger, Fang both mobilized kids to help them through his blog and headed off to help them himself. He and his part of the Flock were delayed, but the blog readers proved to be an asset in the fight that followed.
This wasn’t to be the only time Fang fled his little ragtag adoptive family. A budding romantic relationship between himself and Max led to the other member’s of the Flock feeling left out and lacking leadership, and the two teenagers wound up taking off on their own again. Of course, as before, danger brought the Flock back together.
But danger could separate them as well. When the youngest member of the group, Angel, pronounced that Fang would be the first to die, it was very unsettling. And when he did die - briefly - , it became even more of an issue. Even though he was brought back to life, it proved that he was always going to be in danger, and a danger to those around him. At the time, he didn’t know why. A newcomer to the Flock - a cloned birdkid named Dylan who had been created to be Max’s “perfect other half” - wound up giving Fang the last push that he needed to take action anew. This time, that action was setting off to become leader of his own group of enhanced kids.
Fang’s “gang” started out with a few kids who he met through his blog, and grew to include a clone of Max. It didn’t last long, and didn’t end well. The clone, who now called herself Maya, wound up dying, and two other member’s of Fang’s group wound up betraying him because they would rather protect themselves than do anything about a threat to humanity. Fang wound up heading back to the Flock, desperate to find Max and help her despite all the complicated issues between them.
He got there through hitchhiking and walking, unable to fly because of injuries sustained in a fight against yet another incarnation of the Erasers. Soon afterward, he was off with the Flock to help rescue Angel, who had been presumed dead but was discovered to have been taken by the scientists again instead.
Immediately following Angels rescue, more trouble ensued for the Flock. The Erasers, including a newly-cloned version of an old acquaintance, came knocking, along with their old ‘friend’ Jeb. And the news that Jeb brought with him was shocking: not only was Fang supposed to die, he was being targeted because his DNA held the key to immortality. This didn’t mean that Fang himself was necessarily immortal, but his lifespan was unknown and his DNA was infinitely regenerative. The scientific community was in an uproar, and everyone wanted their hands on Fang. Jeb claimed to want to kill Fang to save him from years of experimentation, from being put into a vegetative state and kept alive that way indefinitely.
The Flock, of course, wasn’t simply going to accept that Fang had to die. They fought as they had always fought, and with the help of their newest member Dylan, managed to persevere over the Erasers. When that was accomplished, however, Dylan turned to attack Fang himself, also tasked with the job of taking him out and determined to do so.
It’s from this point that Fang will come into Holly Heights, his last memory being of Dylan’s hands around his throat, Max trying to protect him, and death likely just a moment away.
Appearance: http://i.imgur.com/MNMcv.jpg
Personality: For much of his life, Fang was a very quiet boy, tending to fade into the background. Even after leaving the School and escaping the scientists, he let the more talkative members of his Flock carry conversations while he made the occasional snarky comment or tease. As the second oldest of his group, he tended to think of himself as somewhat responsible for the younger members.
Early on, Fang learned that people aside from his Flock were not to be trusted, and he wasn’t quick to socialize with anyone else. Eventually, however, he began to believe that the Flock could benefit from the help of outsiders, as long as there was a way to control the information that got out about them. Thus began the blog, and Fang’s increased dependence on it (and his readers) showed an underlying desire for a support network and to move outside his own secret little world. This newfound ability to trust others doesn’t extend to adults, only kids.
Fang’s personal values are at times quite noble. Despite his sometimes rudeness, he wants to help others, and would sacrifice himself not only for his Flock, but often for others in need. When the question of whether to leave the human race to die while saving themselves or do what they could to help everyone came up, Fang came down quite firmly on the side of helping others. This caused a rift in his gang and led up to a betrayal, but Fang didn’t change his mind.
Like most individuals with strong beliefs, however, Fang also suffers from a certain amount of guilt. He’s made some very serious mistakes over the course of his young life, some of which come with body counts. He says himself that he has regrets when he’s faced with the death of Ari, who had been an enemy and nearly killed Fang, but ultimately chose to help the Flock and died during that endeavor. Fang’s distrust of and refusal to be around Ari caused a rift which for a while separated his little adoptive family.
Fang’s regrets also extend to his relationships with individuals. Like most people who see themselves as “strong” or “capable”, every situation in which he has felt helpless or been unable to save a friend in danger weighs on him heavily. He has been at least partially responsible for most of the situation in which the Flock has split up, and has treated others harshly at times when he felt hurt himself.
While he is trying to overcome these things, changes in behavior patterns and thought processes take time, and he has a tendency to be disheartened by his failures and to take his anger at situations out on others, at times. Even, or perhaps especially, on those he loves. He’s a pretty classic example of a teenager with issues who has a good heart hidden somewhere underneath them.
Abilites: As an avian-human hybrid, Fang has quite a few advantages over humans. He has wings, can fly at outrageous speeds, and maneuver well both on the ground and in the air. He has enhanced vision, like hawk eyes. He’s both stronger and faster than a human being, and can deliver blows with crushing force. Accelerated healing is another perk of his genetic alteration, and most injuries get better within a couple of days. Even more than others of his kind, Fang specifically is very hard to kill, and has recovered from injuries that should have been fatal more than once.
A more recent power development is the ability to camouflage himself, as long as he doesn’t move. While sitting directly in front of others who are actually looking right at him, he can disappear. The effect goes away as soon as he moves, however.
In anticipation of an apocalypse that would leave most of the world underwater, Fang’s kind were also created with an ability to breathe underwater, which is also a recent manifestation and something he would still be getting used to.
Without his special bird-kid powers, Fang would still have access to the basic fighting ability that he’s both trained and developed through experience. He’s also quite streetwise, used to having to survive in less than ideal living conditions, and able to take care of himself. His education is somewhat spotty, and has a lot of gaps, but he’s been doing a lot of self-study recently. He’s used to trying to puzzle his way through complicated schemes and the motivations of others.

First Person: [He wavers for quite some time about how to attempt communication. He hasn’t entirely gotten over his awkwardness with people, and the idea of just displaying himself on video to a bunch of strangers is not a pleasant one. He’s been there, done that. Fame is overrated.
Instead, he chooses text.]
Yo.
I guess there’s a lot of WTF that goes around here, so my one more voice isn’t going to make much difference. It’s not everyday that people just pop into some other world, though I’d say my life is weirder than most.
I can probably find the answers to my questions better looking around than this, but whatevs. I’ll introduce myself, anyway.
I’m Fang. At home I guess I’m known for being a blogger. Hit me up if you want to talk sometime, I have a feeling I’m going to need all the help I can get to stay sane in a place like this.
Third Person: He’s at the top of the tree again. It’s not something that he sets out to do; it just seems to happen. One minute he’ll be standing on the ground, looking up, and the next he’s climbing.
The climb itself is easy. Even though he’s no longer super-powered, Fang is still long-limbed, young, and reasonably athletic. He hauls himself up branch after branch without being winded by the effort, then sits as high up as he can get before the branches start cracking under his weight.
It’s not like flying. Not even when the wind stirs around his shoes, or causes his hair to press against his face. But it’s closer, as close as he can get, at the moment. It’s better than standing on the ground and stretching his hands up toward the sky, though he’s tried that too.
When he’s finally distracted from communing with the wind, it’s by someone looking up worriedly. A stranger, an adult, who seems to think that he’s going to fall and break his neck and really should come down. Some idiot who thinks they have a right to tell him what to do, even if they don’t know him.
He should be grateful for the concern, he’s pretty sure that’s how you’re supposed to react. Instead, he slinks back against the trunk of the tree - forgetting he can no longer disappear - closes his eyes, and blocks the voice out.

Characters Name: Keine Kamishirasawa
Age: Not given in canon; appears to be in her late teens to early twenties. I'll place her at 19.
Canon: Touhou Project
Canon Point: After Imperishable Night, the game in which she appears.
Species: Were-Hakutaku (a hakutaku being a mythological beast that offers guidance to virtuous rulers)
Gender: Female
Orientation: Bi
History: Keine is a were-hakutaku who dwells in the human village located in Gensokyo. She is a scholar and historian, said to be the wisest of her kind, and she works as a teacher at the village's temple school. Fiercely protective of the people of the village, she appears as an opponent in Imperishable Night because she believes that the playable characters are a threat to the village's safety. She uses her powers to erase the village's history--maintaining its existence, but making it impossible for most to perceive it even while standing right where it should be located. When defeated, she's convinced that the PCs' objectives lie elsewhere, and points them in the direction of the true enemy. Later, she re-appears--this time to prevent the PCs from finding her friend, the immortal Fujiwara no Mokou, whom they have come to fight.
Appearance: official art; better-looking fanart
Personality: Keine differs from most youkai in that she's firmly in the human camp. She lives amongst them, and genuinely cares about them, displaying a fierce mama bear loyalty towards the people of the village while showing deep suspicion towards other youkai. She's similarly protective of her friend Mokou, fighting to keep the PCs away from her; in short, protecting those she cares about is her primary motivation for entering the fray in Imperishable Night. Not only is she protective, she's stubborn and prone to taking extreme measures. The former can be seen in her refusal to back down from fighting the PCs; she refuses to reconsider the idea that they're threats to the village until they defeat her. The latter can be seen in how she uses her powers to temporarily erase the village to keep it safe, rather than simply fighting to keep the PCs away from it. That tendency towards extremes applies to her teaching style as well: she punishes students who fail to turn in their homework with headbutts.
All in all, Keine is a kind and caring person whose gentle side is somewhat undercut by a short temper and general social awkwardness. Though very knowledgeable, she's considered a dry, boring teacher by her students, on top of being rather impatient with those who don't stay on top of their work. She's a stickler for courtesy who dislikes those who fail to greet her properly, and just generally doesn't seem all that good at interacting with people outside of such courteous exchanges; she's said to be not very good at entertaining others. These rough spots to her personality are only amplified when she's under the influence of the moon. She catches up on scholarly work while transformed, and interrupting her during those busy nights is considered downright dangerous, as her workload puts her even more on edge than usual.
Abilites: Keine transforms into her were-hakutaku form when she sees the full moon. The change has an effect on her powers; as a human, she has the power to devour history, erasing events as though they'd never happened. As a were-hakutaku, she has the power to synthesize history, creating past events rather than erasing them. She also has the standard Touhou powers of flight and shootin' magic blasts in crazy elaborate patterns.

SAMPLES
First Person: *The feed comes on . . . shakily. Keine is clearly holding her phone in an awkward way, grasping it by the top with her fingers placed so as not to cover the camera lens. Her expression is stern, and she brandishes a piece of paper at the camera.* I have in my hand a list of students who haven't handed in their book reports to me yet. You know, you may not recognize the value of work such as this right away, but I assure you that you're only harming yourselves by shirking it. A solid grasp of history will be invaluable to you throughout your lives, and completing assignments such as this will teach you discipline. Those of you on this list have chosen to learn the hard way. You'll all be staying after class tomorrow, and just as a reminder, helmets are not allowed in my detention.
Third Person: Keine rubbed her forehead gingerly, sighing. Some of her students had hard heads! She couldn't remember the last time she'd bruised up this much from administering her usual punishment for forgotten homework. This was yet another thing she just couldn't get used to about living in the world outside of Gensokyo. Her students back home could be inattentive and intractible, certainly, but a fair number of the students here were on a whole other level: more defiant, less willing to work, less respectful of her position as a teacher. And literally harder-headed, on top of that! It all served to stretch her patience to its absolute limit.
Fortunately, the school provided a convenient getaway. Her lunch break inevitably found her sitting in the library, pouring over the books there, especially the histories. It was so rare that she got to study the history of the outside world; she would devour book after book until the bell inevitably summoned her back to work, enthusiasm rekindled. Even then, rather than returning directly to class, she tended to end up grabbing passersby in the halls--be they students or teachers--and regaling them with all the fascinating facts her mind was now brimming over with. Her reputation as "Miss Headbutt" tended to scare her targets into nervously nodding along until she let them go. "--And that's what prompted Abraham Lincoln to choose General Ulysses S. Grant to lead his great army!" she bubbled happily to a terrified ninth grader. "This marked a dramatic turn in the course of the war--the turning of the tide in the Union's favor. It's fascinating, don't you think? A man reputed as a drunkard proved to be just the commander Abraham Lincoln needed . . ."
And so on, and so forth.

Characters Name: Himari Takakura
Age: 13
Canon: Mawaru Penguindrum
Canon Point: Pre Episode 17.
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Orientation: N/A!
History: I'm giving basic history as her wiki page seems a little short,so bare with me!
Once upon a time, Himari believed she was unchosen. And the unchosen are meant to die. Abandoned by her mother at a young age, Himari found herself alone and marked for death with the Child Broiler. Until she met a certain someone, a meeting decided by fate, she would leave her life and start anew.
Himari is the younger sister of Shoma and Kanba Takakura. Despite her age, Himari acts more mature than Shoma and Kanba. She lived a normal life, fantasizing about becoming famous with her two close friends. It all seemed like a normal childhood, until she left school. She has an unknown terminal illness that leads her in and out of the hospital. Himari stays home, rather than attending school because of her condition.
During a visit with her brothers to an aquarium, Himari found a penguin hat that she took a liking to. Soon after, she collapsed at the aquarium and died later in the hospital. Without her grieving brothers realizing, the penguin hat ended up on Himari’s head, somehow reviving her. However, with the hat on she becomes another person, the Princess of the Crystal. The princess orders her brothers to obtain the Penguindrum to save their sister’s life, leading the three of them into an adventure to save her from death once more.
Appearance: brown hair + big ass forehead
Personality: Himari Takakura is simplistic. Simple desires, simple needs, simple wants, and simple wishes. The girl is introduced as a caring and happy young girl. Himari is very caring to her brothers, often cooking and attempting to make their lives easier by helping them when needed. As she lives at home and does not attend school, she lives a domestic life in a sense. Very domestic. With the situation she is in, constantly in and out of the hospital, the girl does simple little things to try and show appreciation to her brothers for all of the hard work they do to ensure her happiness. And she is happy!
Himari tends to keep a smile on her face most of the time simply because she doesn't want to be depressed or worry her brothers! She finds appreciation in everything given to her, even the sickly life she has. Optimistic is a great word to describe Himari. Although she has an incredible weight on her shoulders, she always tries to look on the bright side, even for the simplest of reasons! This leads her to be a happy, well-balanced girl. Through Himari's darkest hours, her light still shines. The poor girl has had a hard life but once she found her true family, Himari took a drastic change. Once moping, depressed, and subtly suicidal (in the sense of her giving up hope) , Himari has grown up into an average and optimistic young lady. She finds hope in her friends and continues to push on, even if her terminal illness eats away at her. For what troubles there are in the world, Himari tries to take them with a grain of salt. She shows her friends how appreciative she is and always works hard to keep her brothers in a good mood, merely because that is what is important to her! She maintains a distinct reflection that the past is the past and there is always a brighter future.
One thing she likes to do is keep her family together and happy. In a way, this is childish and naive, as she often shows her true age (13) while doing so. For example, a simple trip to the aquarium is full of her acting as a fake royal figure, kindly demanding to call the shots and keep their activities fun. Her childish teases are not the only thing she does to lighten the mood and enforce a strong family unit. Himari likes to keep a nice routine of eating meals together and making plans for outings. In a sense, she acts maternal as well. This notion also buds into her protectiveness of her family. Himari is often seen scolding Kanba and Shoma for their actions, such as skipping school. Yet, she is always shown to have a lighthearted nature to her scolding, never a serious threat. The girl is so loving of her family that she is competely selfless. She does not want her family to hurt or be in pain because of her, often finding her closure in death or being sick so Kan and Sho do not have to bear that burden.
Another budding trait is how naive Himari tends to be. Himari, as mentioned, spends her time alone. While she has a normal social interaction when she was younger to some extent, she has been private and almost sheltered for a little bit of her pre-teen years. She is very quick to take to people, offering friendship in an almost TOO trusting way. The girl lets Ringo in her house almost instantly upon meeting her! This makes her easy to get along with and highly interested in nearly everyone, but often showcases her naivety. Himari has showed to be far too trusting of strangers, which results in some good and some bad instances of her life. In addition, her naive nature plus her obvious still childish mindset effects how she views others. She often doesn't think seriously of bad traits of others and only wants the best, even if its at her own discomfort. She is ambitious as well, especially when she wants to give gifts. While not as bad as macronni picture frames, she takes a special interest in knitting for others. Often wanting to show her friends how much they mean to her, he finds herself knitting sweaters and scarves! She is naive to believe her scarfs are good enough for gifts, even if she is still learning. Once again, Himari is overly naive.
Her innocence, as mentioned, also keeps her interested in domestic and otherwise "Feminine" things. For example, she cooks, cleans, and has an interest in fashion and knitting. Himari, above all else, is a normal 13 year old girl with her eye set on cute things and making friends. After the rough patch in her life, she has found her own confidence to be herself and be as positive as she can be!
Abilites: N/A. Himari has a tendency to become possessed by a penguin hat and become the "Princess of the Crystal", but besides that, she doesn't willingly have any powers or ability.
Other: Himari is billed as having a terminal illness. But, assuming Holly Heights can revive certain individuals, I'm assuming her illness will be cured as well. So no problem there. Also! She can see an invisible trio of penguins but since they will not be joining her, she is seemingly normal!

Third Person: As the day ticked on, Himari had made sure to be the perfect daughter. As much as she could be to complete strangers! Holly Heights or not, Himari made the best out of the situation. There was some pancakes on the table and the newspaper brought in for the morning.
But, Himari was nowhere to be found! No, in fact, she was already on her way to school. As the autumn leaves brushed against her shoes, Himari continued her walk with a little smile on her face, attempting to memorize the streets she passed. Backpack in tow and her eyes looking over the passing cars on the chilly morning, she was overly nervous.
This was her first day of school!
So, she'd be walking and mumbling to herself.
"If Kan and Sho can do it for as long as they have, I can too! Middle school isn't much different than elementary school..."
She paused, tapping her cheek, "I don't think so, at least. There will be a lot more mature people there. Oh! And then in a few weeks it's vacation."
She was feeling a bit scared, clutching at her backpack tightly she looked at the bus stop off in the distance.
"I can do this. I'm going to make friends a-and get good grades. And maybe join a club!"
And off she stormed, stomping confidently towards the bus stop with a smile on her face.

Himari tends to keep a smile on her face most of the time simply because she doesn't want to be depressed or worry her brothers! She finds appreciation in everything given to her, even the sickly life she has. Optimistic is a great word to describe Himari. Although she has an incredible weight on her shoulders, she always tries to look on the bright side, even for the simplest of reasons! This leads her to be a happy, well-balanced girl. Through Himari's darkest hours, her light still shines. The poor girl has had a hard life but once she found her true family, Himari took a drastic change. Once moping, depressed, and subtly suicidal (in the sense of her giving up hope) , Himari has grown up into an average and optimistic young lady. She finds hope in her friends and continues to push on, even if her terminal illness eats away at her. For what troubles there are in the world, Himari tries to take them with a grain of salt. She shows her friends how appreciative she is and always works hard to keep her brothers in a good mood, merely because that is what is important to her! She maintains a distinct reflection that the past is the past and there is always a brighter future.
One thing she likes to do is keep her family together and happy. In a way, this is childish and naive, as she often shows her true age (13) while doing so. For example, a simple trip to the aquarium is full of her acting as a fake royal figure, kindly demanding to call the shots and keep their activities fun. Her childish teases are not the only thing she does to lighten the mood and enforce a strong family unit. Himari likes to keep a nice routine of eating meals together and making plans for outings. In a sense, she acts maternal as well. This notion also buds into her protectiveness of her family. Himari is often seen scolding Kanba and Shoma for their actions, such as skipping school. Yet, she is always shown to have a lighthearted nature to her scolding, never a serious threat. The girl is so loving of her family that she is competely selfless. She does not want her family to hurt or be in pain because of her, often finding her closure in death or being sick so Kan and Sho do not have to bear that burden.
Another budding trait is how naive Himari tends to be. Himari, as mentioned, spends her time alone. While she has a normal social interaction when she was younger to some extent, she has been private and almost sheltered for a little bit of her pre-teen years. She is very quick to take to people, offering friendship in an almost TOO trusting way. The girl lets Ringo in her house almost instantly upon meeting her! This makes her easy to get along with and highly interested in nearly everyone, but often showcases her naivety. Himari has showed to be far too trusting of strangers, which results in some good and some bad instances of her life. In addition, her naive nature plus her obvious still childish mindset effects how she views others.

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Takashi ‘Mori’ Morinozuka
Age: 18
Canon: Ouran High School Host Club
Canon Point: Chapter 95
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation: Straight from what is shown in post canon when he marries and has children, but he is very dedicated and loyal to Mistsukuni and has never shown anything such as dislike for relationships outside of the straight spectrum and would honestly marry for happiness I do believe over gender.
History:
Character Wiki
Appearance: Takashi is a tall, well-built but slender male, with dark eyes and hair, it is clear in his facial features and olive complexion that he is of Japanese descent. Short cropped hair and a face that remains mostly impassive, though he does offer a slight smile now and again.
He is often seen in his school uniform, but can also be found in comfortable clothes such as jeans and tee shirts. He also has been seen in his kendo uniform as it was and remains a passion of his.
Personality: Takashi is a quiet young man, few words does he speak. But that does not mean he lacks depth. He is in fact a very caring, compassionate young man. A fierce protector, it is in his blood. Always having taken care of and protected Mistukuni, despite the change in relationships between their families.
But his caring and concern does not pass only to his cousin but to his friends as well, the host club is like a family to him and he wants to see them all safe and happy. He is seen to very quickly take a protective stance with Haruhi, early on coming to her aide when Tamaki is being well Tamaki, it is also in that moment that he comes to the realization their newest member is not a boy. Despite his quiet state or perhaps because of it Takashi is very observant and picks up on things others might not notice. He is very much a man of traditional Japanese decent; from his quiet, honorable ways to the foods he eats. He may not smile much but that does not mean he is unhappy. When on the outs with Mitsukuni (And by product I assume any friend but maybe not to such a heavy degree) he becomes out of sorts, not wanting conflict and strife between himself and those he cares about, but he will still do what he has to, to protect them, even if it is not always what they want to hear or believe.
Takashi’s values could be said to come from his family, a father who from what is mentioned seems to be very loving of both his sons. Takashi’s younger brother Satoshi is a more outspoken version of his brother, who looks up to the older boy, showing again strength in his bonds that he has from family to friends, Takashi is dedicated, protective and caring.
He enjoys making gundam models and is a Kendo champion, something that to me says this is truly a passion of his and something that if he has the ability to he will continue. When Takashi leaves high school for college, he goes to study law, showing he has an intelligent and driven young man as well.
There is however another side to Takashi, if he is sleep deprived the normally quiet young man will become much more talkative and flirtatious, almost seeming like a different person. A clear sign someone needs to send him to sleep.
Summing Takashi up is fairly simple to be honest, he is a honorable young Japanese man who loves his friends, wants to protect them and may say few words but is still a good guy to have around.
Abilites: Takashi is an athletic young man and kendo champion, it is shown in canon that not only is he quick in combat, especially with a long stick. He has quick reflexes and seems to always be alert to his surroundings, picking up on even small sounds and interceding where he can.
I believe Takashi would be competent in preparing traditional Japanese dishes and writing kanji as well, as they would fit within the background he is from.

Canon: Durarara!!
Canon Point: Episode 25
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation: Shizuo is a simple person with simple tastes; I doubt he'd hesitate due to gender, so I will be pegging him as bisexual.
History: Character | World
Appearance: Link.
Personality:
Shizuo is more often than not described as an exceptionally violent person who can't keep a lid on his own anger. He is frequently seen in the series instigating or getting wrapped up in fights, unhesitant when dealing with his long-time rival Izaya Orihara or members of gangs that irritate him. He almost seems to enjoy uprooting street signs and vending machines to throw at his victims -- unsuspecting or not -- or punching someone so hard they fly out of their clothes, even though he frequently claims he "hates violence" as seen in episode seven.
Shizuo's power is uncontrollable to an extent, making his violent tendencies an unwanted curse in his own eyes, making him view himself as some sort of beast; he never wants to hurt anyone who doesn't deserve it, of course, but on occasion this is seen happening even at the slightest provocation. He can be tipped over the edge by even something as trivial as someone telling a story too long or too annoying, making it obvious his temper is extremely short. These outbursts of rage are first noticeable when he is described as the "person you don't want as an enemy" in episode one of the animated series and to "not hesitate to run from him" in the manga and later in episode three - his debut - when he throws a trashcan at Izaya. His name is infamous in the city of Ikebukuro. Being known as the "strongest man" in his town, it has quite the averse affect on how people picture him. He doesn't deny the accusations, nor does this make the accusations false. He is very much the brute, the animal and the monster people believe and state he is. After all, he is strongly motivated by the idea of "killing Izaya" - due to Izaya falsely accusing him for an unspecified crime he did not commit, consequently getting him arrested - or anyone else that bothers him.
Though it would be uncharacteristic for him to go as far as killing someone, since he is not entirely as awful as he initially comes across as. Really, Shizuo is a no-nonsense character who hates lies - the debtors he and Tom visit to collect payments believe they are very adept at lying - and anything else that could readily be described as “bullshit” - like his friend Shinra's attempts to study his abilities in the name of science which he tends to reply to with physical threats to break the good doctor's arm, like when he was a child, a flashback in episode seven. When he isn't irritated or in a fit of rage, Shizuo is a very quiet, nondescript person who enjoys the simple things in life. In fact, he himself is quite simple, choosing to rent an apartment by his lonesome, choosing only to keep in contact with a couple of close friends and his little brother Kasuka and choosing plainer, more inelegant desires such as basking in the sun when he has free time, smoking - one of his only bad habits - and watching martial arts on television. It is also seen in the anime that Shizuo has rather childish tastes in terms of food and language.
He loves anything sweet like suckers and pudding as shown in episode seven, enjoys dairy products greatly - which is actually a point of interest since it seems to calm him down, demonstrated when Kasuka stops a rage-tantrum with a bottle of milk after he gets ticked off - and chooses easy words to understand. In fact, Shizuo has a limited vocabulary and swears like a sailor at times, seen in most episodes. While Shizuo may have an innocent side not many are privy to -- since no one seems to like to get close to him, much to his relief as he worries constantly about injuring those he cares about - he also has a very vulnerable centre full of insecurity. He has grown too weary of his own abilities and has basically burnt himself out on his own anger. Shizuo is frightened of his own power, because he has been known to hurt those he loves before, also seen in episode seven. When he was younger he hurt a woman - a shopkeeper who used to give him and his brother treats - because of his unharnessed anger and has since kept to himself or pushed others away because of this fact.
But overall, this doubt in himself is put on the back burner when it comes to his little brother and those precious to him. He is extremely protective and can easily develop complexes regarding certain people - like Celty, his good friend the Dullahan, who he can act very defensive about, shown in an episode explaining that he'd kill anyone who messed with her. Shizuo is a good guy once you get to know him. He is very loyal to his friends - like Tom, who he heroically saved from bullies when they were young - and family, even though he feels slightly overshadowed by his famous brother. This does not give him any ill feelings towards Kasuka; quite the opposite, in fact, since Shizuo has been seen telling others not to insult Kasuka by comparing them.
In a nutshell, he has easy tastes and a straightforward, albeit blunt, attitude, despite his tendency to lose himself to his own ire when situations present themselves.
Abilites:
Shizuo has the power of unbelievable strength. It is stated - described by his friend and personal doctor, Shinra - that while the brain usually suspends the use of such power by shutting down muscle in response to pain to avoid injuring the body, Shizuo doesn't have this mental block and has been able to use his abnormal strength since he was a young boy. It is “naturally unlimited” and it is described as the “adrenaline power” people use when they're threatened or in danger. His muscles and bones have since strengthened due to constant injury when he first developed the power since it caused too much strain for him and now he does not sustain injuries, even when lifting telephone poles and even a massive truck that had ran him over, as seen in episode twenty-five.
His fighting ability is rough and ungraceful, sloppy and kind of berserk when he's in a one on one with another - as demonstrated in his battle against mindless victims of a curse where he can be seen using little to no tact in dealing with his opponents. Shizuo is a traceur, however - though obviously not by trade - and is extremely adept at parkour - the art of efficient movement around obstacles.
