putitherepleaseContact Info: Please give us at least one other means of contacting you.
Other Characters: You may remove this section if this will be your first character in game.
IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Western order, por favor.
Age: In years, if possible.
Canon: Links to you canon's Wikipedia entry or it's own wiki or at least something to tell us what he hot haps are.
Canon Point: Exact page numbers and panels aren't necessary, but being specific is good.
Species: Note that any species other than human will become human. Animals, aliens, even human like beings. You're going to become homo sapiens like the rest of us.
Gender: Both physical and mental.
Orientation: FILL THIS OUT IF YOU HAVE A CHARACTER THAT IS OVER 18, NO BUTS. Here at Holly Heights, we don't discriminate against anyone's orientations. That being said, if your character is gay, we aren't going to make them take a wife when housing plans are given. Gay marriage is completely legal. Please give us a short and simple reason you think they are gay/straight/bi/etc if they don't have an explicitly state sexuality. Please keep it short, though. We do know it's tempting to tl;dr about things like this. Long story short, the real question is Would your character be more comfortable with a wife, husband, or either?, so that we know what houses to place them in.
History: Links will suffice, but please write it out if the links are insufficient.
Appearance: A picture will be sufficient, but we'd never turn down a written explanation.
Personality: This should be the biggest part of the application unless your history is written out. There should at least be 3 paragraphs OR 300+ words. No links. Using old app sections for this AS LONG AS THEY ARE YOUR OWN is reasonable.
Abilites: Please note that in this domestic paradise, powers will be taken. Will you get them back? If you behave, perhaps. Please list any special powers your character has and any natural talents that they possess. This can range from flying to having nice handwriting.
Other: Anything else you'd like to include? Put it here.

You may link to a musebox post or previous roleplay log for this but only if you didn't link for your first person and vice versa. Also remember that this isn't fanfiction and should act like a log post would . Just rambling on like a novel isn't writing a log.

Characters Name: Haine Otomiya
Age: 15
Canon Point: Right before Chapter 22, before her date with "Shizumasa-sama"
Species: Human
Gender: Female, both mentally and physically
Orientation: Haine has dated a girl before, but not for romantic reasons. She understands that girls liking girls is natural but in the end, she's straight. Though this is not applicable considering she's a minor, if she ages to 18, she'd have a husband.
no subject
Appearance: There's no real biodata in the canon, but it's safe to assume that she's around average height; somewhere between 5' 4" and 5' 5". It's stated that she's skinny, though she does have an enormous amount of body fat (30%), which weighs less than muscle. I'd peg her at less than 115 pounds at any rate. Her measurements are pretty plain; her breasts are about average and her hips aren't all that profound, though her waist is obviously thin.
Appearance wise, her eye colour is reminiscent of #fef202 or "getting too cold" according to colourlovers. Tanemura will occasionally change their colour due to art style purposes, but in all actuality they're a shade of yellow-amber. Her hair is a shade of brown like Peach, or #eda615. She's dyed her hair blond multiple times and then stripped, so it appears washed out and faded and probably isn't the healthiest, but she does her best to take care of it, as apparent by her constantly changing styles and does. It's long, about down to her mid-thighs and her waist when braided.
Even though Haine has problems with people throwing around money, she dresses very well. Her style is cute and colourful and she wears dresses and skirts more often than anything. Haine also has a variety of uniforms, both for her school and her jobs. She dresses chic, but her clothes do allow movement, since she's so active.
Personality: Haine is a very simple girl with a very complex past. Throughout her life she's gone through many trials and tribulations, and thought they all set her back, she finds her way out of any situation and/or has the ability to smile throughout almost anything. She's simple-minded, cheerful, and chipper. She can be extremely dense and isn't the brightest light on the tree, but what she lacks in intelligence she totally makes up for it in being a good person and her steadfastness. Haine is the kind of person who will give up absolutely anything for the people she loves and always puts others first. Haine also puts a very high value on love and considers it to be something precious and special. While she thinks this, love, sex, and things related to them make her extremely embarrassed. Even telling Shizumasa things related to liking him is hard for her and she gets extremely flustered afterwards
Haine is extremely good at working and has a wonderful work ethic. Once she's been given a job, she'll give it her all. She works hard for her friends and is constantly active and doing something for someone, sometimes forgetting about herself in the process. With people, Haine is good at conversing and is street smart; she's a social creature and well-liked except by those jealous of her status or irked by her cheerful disposition. She's incredibly versed in how to make people smile, though her own smiles can sometimes not be as genuine. Haine often hides and shoves aside her sadness and pain to reflect an outward appearance that's happy and cheerful. She doesn't really think that grief and sadness are things that need to be dwelled on, as the future and other matters are vastly more important.
Fighting is something she's incredibly good at, honed by her vigorous dancing classes at an early age, though the technique and force comes from a history of yanki gang activity. When she's fighting, she's incredibly in the zone and focused. She enjoys it when it's for a just cause and is extremely good at it. Once, during a fight, her front two teeth were knocked out; they are now replaced by fake ones that are easily retractable. When these fall out, she is enraged and more willing to be violent and has no real cognition as to what she's doing (unless Shizumasa is involved, then she recognizes him and would never hurt him).
Haine is extremely emotive. She sometimes takes things a little extremely and doesn't rationalize how to keep face and composure in situations. She's really bad at filtering herself and doesn't realize that sometimes she says some really dumb things. She's prone to be pretty cheesy, as per the shoujo manga heroine trope dictates, and she will often try to pump up someone and pep talk them until they feel better again. If someone has a problem, she'll be the first person there to try and help them fix it. Though she loves to help others and listen to them, she doesn't really enjoy discussing anything about herself because of the numerous things that have happened in her past and her ability to push away past instances and bad feelings and internalize them
Because of instances in her past, Haine hates money. She hates that money solves problems, along with status and the amount of money and people willing to back you. This stems from being bought and sold as a child, though it also has to do with her hard-working personality, though all these attributes help to add and enhance the others. She isn't exactly adverse to rich people, though, being wealthy herself. She doesn't like the fact that a lot of poorer people have the mentality that they need to bow before rich people and that rich people think they can do whatever they want. This being said, Haine has a very keen sense of justice and enjoys and pushes people to do the right thing. Being a yanki was a way to blow off steam and an exhibit of her falling from grace, and she only ever did any real damage to other gang members, and she also realizes it was wrong to do. She makes up for her wrong-doings, something she strongly believes in people doing, by being extremely pacifistic now, unless she's fighting for a greater good. It's also important to note that even though Haine comes from money herself, she doesn't like to be categorized based on her wealth, though she does appear to own a lot of expensive things and goes to a very expensive school.
Instinctual and rash, Haine is very quick on her feet and hasty, not very good at thinking things through. She's one of those people who does something dumb and realizes it a split second afterwards. When engaged in combat, though, she's very good at thinking on her feet and making the best of her situation just by a natural talent for violence. While imaginative and creative, she's not extremely good with words (her Japanese grades were always Ds) and can sometimes trip up on what she says.
Because she was used as a transaction piece and given up on by her family and the man that had adopted her finally had a real son, Haine became a yanki gang memeber, fearing she had no place left for her. She now realizes, of course, that while she wouldn't take the experiences back, they were not the smartest decisions and made her even more unworthy of being loved, especially by the man she loved herself. While Haine exudes a certain kind of elegance, her self esteem is awful. She thinks she can never be completely redeemed and is doomed to stay in the darkness forever, never being good enough to be loved by anyone. In later chapters, she is finally broken of this belief, but it's still something that she's held onto for quite some time. She forgave her parents for lying to her and selling her, but she never really recognized that it was their fault and not hers. For quite some time, she had no contact with her real mother and the person she assumed to be her real father just because they ostracized her, not because she didn't want to be with them. She expresses that a dream of hers is to "become someone that her father is proud of". Haine loves her family, but still holds a lot of internal issues with self-loathing relating to instances they put her through. She's a lot more positive now, but her feelings are still there through most of the manga.
no subject
Less important abilities include a slew of classes her family made her take when she was younger, though she dropped them all pretty quickly. Her abilites in them will be extremely rusty and at an elementary level. They include ballet, tea ceremony, flower arangement, the piano, along with possibly others related to traditional Japanese culture and talents.

SAMPLES
First Person:
Third Person: Whoever said driving a car was easy was really wrong. If anyone said that in the first place.
She kept placing her left foot on the brake at the same time her other foot was on the gas. Haine was pretty sure that the noise that the undercarriage was making wasn't supposed to happen and that she shouldn't be going 30 miles an hour when her right foot was pushing the gas all the way to the floor. Frustrated, she removed both feet, gripping the wheel hard.
"This is the worst!" Haine slammed a fist on the horn, loud enough to make one of the nearby people that randomly walked around in a trance jump and stumble over to fall on their driveway. That couldn't be good. She rolled down her window, yelling as loud as she could.
"Are you alright?!" Body half out of the car, trying to check on the person but keep a foot on the brake at the same time, Haine couldn't help but feel extremely sorry for the person. They were people too, right? The woman in the plain clothes and pale skin just simply got up without a word and went right back to opening her empty mailbox, closing it, and walking slowly back to her door. A little down-trodden and surprised, she slunk back into the passenger seat, completely forgetting about her foot on the break.
Slowly, the car began to slip and roll down the street again. It wasn't exactly noticeable to her, Haine being more concerned with the mirrors and little air freshener hanging from the rear view, but once a corner came into view, it suddenly occurred to her that she might need to put her foot back on the peddles. Thankfully she remembered the right one, or else she'd be in a yard.
"This is just so complicated...Maybe I should ask for help." Reaching into her jeans pocket, Haine removed her cell, quickly typing out a message to broadcast. She was going to wreck if she kept this up.
