General Information
Name: Murakami Ima
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Date of Birth: August 26
Place of Birth: Hokkaido, Japan
Ethnicity: Japanese
Sexual Preference: Presumably straight, but has shown signs of bisexuality when a girl calls her ugly (see below).
Relatives: Her father (Taiki, age 48), her mother (Haruko, age 36), brother (Izumi, age 22), and father (Kaimu, age 48) are still alive and kicking. Her sister (Himeko, age 26) is supposedly alive but there is no evidence to support whether she is alive or dead.
Affiliation: The Knights. She is Peridot.
Grade: 10th grade
Appearance
Personality: Ima is a quiet and mild-tempered person who is more the kind to back away from a fight rather then engage in one. She lacks a presence and is often overlooked, and she's also a very timid and shy person. She's well-mannered, serious (though sometimes to the point of being anal-retentive), and has trouble asserting herself.
Ima is a smart girl and gets top marks in her classes, but she's very bad at sports, instruments, and art. She has a fondness for reading and baking – she's actually a very good baker.
She lacks a sense of style and usually wears frumpy clothes when she isn't in her school uniform.
Eye Color: Naturally her eyes are brown, but she wears blue contacts.
Hair Color: Black
Height: 5'1”
Weight: 115 lbs.
Build: Slender but not petite, she has broad shoulders, a small chest and wide hips.
Miscellaneous Information
History: Ima is the baby of the family, but somehow, she became the most overlooked. Her older brother and sister, though different, were both very talented and successful in whatever they did. Her brother was a great soccer player every one thought would go pro until he was told that he had to take his father's place in the medical company. Her sister was a model from childhood until she graduated high school and was something of a teen idol. Before her disappearance she was attempting to break into acting.
Because of the successes of her older siblings Ima was always compared to them and unfortunately always fell short of everyone's expectations. She was book smart but her test scores were only above average and she had no other talents like her siblings did. Still, Ima never resented being considered the 'average' child. However, remarks that compared her to her siblings were plentiful and eventually her self-esteem suffered. She always had good friends, would get teased from time to time for her nerdy look and timid nature, and grew into a comfortable ease of wearing clothes that were frumpy and very out of style.
With average looks and a below average sense of style and putting no effort into her hair, she began getting teased a lot for her looks more then for anything else. Her self-esteem really started to suffer and she soon became very quiet and introverted, hiding behind her more confident and assertive friends.
When her sister disappeared four years while working for Easter Corp., Ima became very withdrawn. She was very close to her sister and didn't believe the news that her sister just went and eloped with another employee. No one has heard from her sister since.
Near the end of freshman year of high school, Ima attempted to confess to an upperclassman that she liked. She lost her nerve and ran away before she could tell him her feelings. That night, she prayed to become a more confident and cool (and though she'd never admit it, she also did ask to be 'sexy') person. The next morning she found a chara egg in her bag and freaked out, thinking that she laid it or that she was dreaming. She took the egg to school but didn't tell her friends about it. When she saw the upperclassman she liked she wished that she could be more attractive and confident. Aiko had hatched during class and attempted to 'grant' Ima her wish, making her grab the upperclassman by the tie, pull him over, and asked him out forthright.
Unfortunately, no one told Ima that her crush was already involved with someone else. After he turned her down she realized what she had done and ran into the girl's bathroom, where Aiko revealed herself.
A now former member of the knights overheard Ima in the bathroom and explained everything about charas and the purpose of the knights. When Ima heard of the true nature of Easter Corp. she immediately joined the knights as the Peridot Knight. She hopes to find out about what really happened to her sister.
Other: If someone calls Ima ugly, she is transformed into a confident and flirtatious individual thanks to her chara Aiko.
Roleplay Sample:
Ima never liked bringing Aiko to school; she usually had detention by the end of the day when she did. Aiko had insisted on sitting on Ima's desk instead of staying quiet in the school bag - and being the pushover that Ima was, she allowed it. Unfortunately for poor Ima, her little chara buddy always took this as an invitation to never shut up.
It didn't matter to Aiko if Ima was at the blackboard or taking an exam; she was constantly talking to the girl and expected to be answered back. While taking notes Ima got into the habit of writing down responses to Aiko in the margins of the notebook she was using to take notes.
The worst was lunch time, when Ima was finally free from the restraints of lectures. Aiko hummed a song about cake - her most favorite thing in the world - while Ima chatted with some of her friends over their bento lunches. Ima got up to get everyone drinks from the vending machine. Just as she turned the corner into the hallway she bumped into one of the more popular girls on the basketball team. She shoved Ima aside, looking her over with a critical eye.
"Watch where you and your out-of-style shoes are going, ugly!"
Much to the girl's surprise Ima didn't fall back and stumble over her words for an apology like she thought she would. Instead, Ima leaned in close and twirled a strand of the girl's hair with one finger, making the bully's cheeks turn red.
"Those are such mean words coming from such a pretty girl." she cooed, her voice taking on a more cold and seductive tone then the light-hearted and uncertain manner of speaking she always had.
"But I'll forgive you this once. All you have to do is..."
Suddenly Ima pointed down at her feet and grinned coyly, a look that normally was never on her face.
"Lick my shoes. You hurt their feelings."
She continued to point down until she heard the girl's cry of disbelief; the sound immediately snapped Ima back into her natural state of mind. She noticed that the girl had run away, calling her a freak over and over, while several people stared at her with shocked expressions. Ima's face turned an unhealthy shade of red before she hid her face with her hands and ran off in the opposite direction.
