Description

Wtf, I'm submitting artwork?! What the hell is wrong with me? D:

I'm going back to college Monday morning. . .thaaat must be it.

Anyway, I figured I'd upload something onto dA to show I'm not completely and utterly dead. I actually have a lot of things to upload. . .but I'll get to those later. This is mostly because I'm bored and I'll be recoloring her on PS as soon as I have some free time anyway >>

Mkay, and now onto my rambling character sheet on her:

NAME: Akiko Daishi

ALIGNMENT: Hero

ARCANA: Magician

PERSONA: Thespis

AGE: 17

BIRTHDAY: October 30th

HT: 5’10”

WT: 125lbs

EYES: Hazel

HAIR: Brown/black tips

BLOOD TYPE: A

WEAPON: Rapier

STATUS: Talent (Actress)// Unemployed but searching

PERSONALITY: Often getting consumed in her work, Akiko loves losing herself to theatre. Whenever she is in a role, she usually focuses solely on that rather than interacting with many others. Don’t get her wrong though, she isn’t the premodonna type at all. She doesn’t see herself as being any better than the next person, and just likes to act in order to live the role and tell the story that’s written. It’s her own little way of being able to express herself and her emotions, rather than bottling them all inside like she has to at home…

While acting is what she’s truly passionate about, the constant pressure from her parents often make her lack a certain drive. Even though she made it into the school on scholarship over all of the other candidates, her parents telling her that she’ll never succeed makes her believe that they’re right. This insecurity is one of the things that she locks inside of herself, not preferring the ‘comforting words’ others would try and give if she let it out.

Many people that meet her would never guess that she contains this lack of will. Where she has the willpower to go about doing what she wants to, Akiko often tries to avoid conflicting situations because she doesn’t want to cause any problems; no matter what they are. Overall, she just dislikes having to rely on anyone but herself, and feels the need to repay people whenever a situation like that comes up. It’s a small way of her being able to make sure that she can contain some form of confidence in herself.

Once the whole situation occurs and draws the group together, this is all sure to change with the bonds that she will build with the others. But for now, Akiko tends to stick to herself and focus on school, rarely leaving it until the last moment since she doesn’t enjoy going back home.

BACKGROUND: During most of Akiko’s life she ended up having to raise herself. Her father was often away in the army and her mother had to work in order to pay for their livelihood, causing her family to constantly be split apart. By the time that she was older she didn’t really have an idea of what a true family or home life was, but still became very reliant on what she could get of it whenever her parents were around.

After moving several times to keep up with her father’s constant travels, her family ended up finally settling down in Hinari, due to the scholarship that she had gained to attend Tohai Highschool since she was a freshman. Since then, she took on her name of Akiko Daishi in order to fit in more with the other Japanese students and quickly picked up on their language and culture, while blending it in a bit with her American heritage.

Sadly, as well as she grew accustomed to the culture, her parents didn’t find life in Japan quite as satisfactory. Akiko’s dreams of having that family that she wanted since she was a child were broken up again when her father couldn’t keep focus in the area and filed for a job elsewhere, her mother staying for the time being due to her insufficient funds to leave anyway.

Now, most of Akiko’s strength comes from the fact that she’s had to live through such a rough family life. Her mother usually brings in other men in order to try and satisfy something in her life, as well as to try and find a way to get money into the household; often causing Akiko to end up leaving the house more than staying. As much as she has the willpower to leave, she doesn’t really want to and doesn’t stay away for long even though it would most likely be best. Despite the fact that her parents aren’t exactly the greatest role models in the world, she still cares deeply for them…she just doesn’t really enjoy how much they hold her back.

APPEARANCE: Akiko has medium length brown hair that has been dyed black underneath and at the tips and hazel eyes. Reaching a max height of 5’10”, she is taller than most, mostly due to the fact that she was originally born to American parents. When she’s not wearing her school uniform, Akiko usually is wearing all types of accessories and trying out different forms of fashions that she makes herself out of clothes that she outgrew or got from cheap retail stores. She likes to be a bit creative when it comes to dress, seeing it as a fun form of expression, much like acting. Clothing is just another form of costume, and with her being able to create her own it helps her be able to stay focused on having to be herself rather than who her parents would rather her be.

OTHER:
*Through the years, Akiko enjoys being able to have fun and pull some pranks or tricks every once in a while to those that she gets close to. A few of her favorite things to do are to show off the simple magic tricks that she was able to pick up while trying to entertain herself when she was a child. Most of them having to do with card tricks and the like, or with a coin that she has kept with her since she decided to try out the stunts.

*When she starts fighting with the group, the reason behind her choosing a rapier is due to the fact that she has been known to partake in fencing for a while in some of the other schools that she has attended. Even though it isn't all that popular in Japan, she still tries to find people to fence with just for the fun of it, or will practice on her own when she doesn't have Drama practice.
