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.

testrun_box.Third Person: This is more like a log entry and action related. It should could more "he/she" than "I". Please give us at least two paragraphs OR 10+ lines or text. 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.

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Taiga Aisaka
Age: 18
Canon Point: Post Series
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Orientation: Ryuujisexual. :P No really, she's only ever shown interest in men, so heterosexual.
History: Clicky for a wiki!
Appearance: Click!
Personality: Taiga always seems to be in a bad mood. She's got a very quick temper and isn't afraid to assert herself, even if she's facing insane odds against her. She wouldn't be afraid to cuss out a gang of delinquents, for instance. To face her rage requires a very stupid person; she earned the nickname Palmtop Tiger in her high school because of this. Quite literally, the halls would clear when Taiga walked through them. Even with people that she considers decent, she can be brash and at times violent. A snide remark about how you’re ogling at a girl? That’s the least of your worries around Taiga. Try peppermint chapstick going up your nose, or a kick to the nuts; no one is safe from her violence. However, her harshness is a facade she keeps up in order to avoid getting hurt; she's one of those tsundere types. Underneath, Taiga is a very sensitive person, and has a very emotionally rich life. She's insecure about her small stature (both height and chest-wise), and tends to jump to conclusions that someone hates her, even without much concrete evidence. In fact, hearing that Kitamura hated her (which was far from the truth) was enough to send her into an emotional breakdown. She's not one to tell others how she feels though, preferring to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of her friends. Loneliness is an overlying theme to her life. It’s all too clear to her that her family cast her out, and so in order to keep up her image she accepts that she’ll forever be lonely. Her own happiness isn’t important because it seems so unreachable. She’d much rather see to it that her friends gain a happy ending, while she rejects others to avoid the seemingly inevitable rejection she gets herself. Taiga acts fairly cheerful around her friends, only hinting about the truth underneath. She's also got some issues with family, especially parents. Her parents were divorced, and she felt like she was only annoying her mom’s new family, and she couldn’t stand her father’s new wife. She was upset enough that she demanded to live on her own, and got her wish, getting an allowance from her father every month. Because of all this though, she doesn't really know how to function in a "normal" family, and only acts out further. Not only that, but she has no idea how to do typical house duties. If left alone, she'll let the dishes rot in the sink, toss her clothes everywhere, and pay no notice to any mold that may be growing.
Taiga can, to put it bluntly, be a brat. She isn’t necessarily spoiled, and in later episodes becomes quite selfless, but she does have a feeling of entitlement and tends to do things to her own advantage. For instance, giving a friend (to use the term loosely…) high class chocolates, forcing her to eat one, and then demanding that she owe Taiga a favor because she can’t possibly return the chocolates after one was eaten. If something bothers her, she lets everyone know how much she hates it and how stupid it is and how this or that would be soooo much better. Acting out is the only way she really knows how to get attention, and she’s a pro at it.
Underneath all that tsun is a caring girl, surprisingly. She worries and frets over her friends; not always in an obvious way because of her harshness, but with a backhanded complaint or a worried look… right before landing a punch to their gut. In the moments when she relaxes and shows her softer side, she becomes a genuinely pleasant person to talk to, capable of rational thought, and though she still throws out insults they’re in a much lighter, teasing tone.
In a lighter mood, Taiga is a klutz. She tried baking cookies once, and not only almost dropped the entire batch on the floor before they were done, but tried to deliver them to her crush, fell down the stairs, and the cookies flew out the window, crashing to the ground. It turns out that she had added a ridiculous amount of salt to them as well. Her attempts at confessing to her crush (Kitamura) backfired, as she was doing a better job at telling him that she liked Ryuuji, and so he denied her. The poor girl is also easily embarrassed, and turns into a blabbering mess very quickly. This frustrates her to no end, and only serves to make her act even more ridiculous.
Abilities: Taiga's pretty strong for her size, and could hold her own in a fight both because of this and her unrelenting ferocity. And, while she can't swim on her own, give her a kickboard and this girl will zoom across the pool with her leg power. She's also sufficient with wooden katanas.

SAMPLES
First Person: Anything from my LJ! It's a different username, but the same Taiga~
Third Person: She remembered kicking and screaming, a cry for help, for anyone, anything to save her. She remembered the water overtaking her head, water rushing in her mouth and up her nose—a gasp she hadn’t meant to take—what, what was it Ryuuji had taught her? She remembered; Kick, blow air from your nose, don’t panic. But that last part, it was far too late for she remembered panicking, limbs pathetically beating against the water and a brief, far too brief moment above water.
She remembered gasping, finally understanding how sweet the air was and taking in a gulp of air, hearing the rush of waves and all too suddenly again the sea swallowed her up. She remembered how the light seemed so distant, that no matter how much she tried to grasp it she only sunk further, fear welling in her chest. She remembered the thoughts, chaotic and frightened, of inevitable death and she hadn’t even lived life fully, maybe this was karma’s way of punishing her or—
Most of all, she remembered drowning.
And it was on this note Taiga came to, bent over like a wild animal as she coughed up water. Her hair clung to her face and arms, seaweed tangled in the faint curls. She hurt. It took all of her strength to not fall face first into the sand, struggling to her feet after staring for—how long? Even Taiga didn’t know, gaze on her hands and the water—was that all in her stomach?—the water, the bile soaking into the sand. But it wasn’t until she stood that she realized she wasn’t anywhere near home. There was no going back, wherever she was.
Hell? A raspy mixture of a cough and a laugh. That would be it, huh? Maybe she really was dead, some freak accident with her bathtub from falling asleep before dinner. A… a hitch in her breath. That’s right. Dinner alone. Dinner by herself, as she would’ve stared at the window across to Ryuuji’s, wondering as her cup ramen cooked what kind of feast he was making for Yacchan. Dinner… Dinner for two, while the third, unofficial family member ate alone.
Somewhere, aching in the back of her mind, she knew that was a luxury that would be sorely missed in this hell. Instead of standing to support him, she could barely support her own weight. Her eyes burned with a mixture of tears and salt water, and Taiga took a few staggered steps forward before collapsing back into the sand, waterlogged sleeves serving no purpose in drying her tears. She was alone. Even if there were truly people in the direction of the decayed, yellowing lights, Taiga knew she wouldn’t find Ryuuji.
