The Biography
|
Birth Name: Chiyo Watanabe
Aliases: The Shut-In
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Birth Day: May 14th
Arcana: Moon
Place of Residence: Shibakuzoi
School Year: 2nd
Class: 2-A Surikawa Yui
After School Club: None
Part Time Job: None, but looking
Appearance: Chiyo's not really the prettiest girl around, but she has a certain 'fraile charm' about her. Standing at 5ft 6, she's above average height for a Japanese girl and weights a healthy 120lbs. Being somewhat clumsy, Chiyo is usually covered in bandages and bruises, but tries to incorporate her frequent injuries into her outfit, giving her something of a delinquent-esque look. Regardless of regulations or weather, Chiyo always wears her black sweater and school shirt left undone for the first two buttons; not enough to expose any cleavage, but enough to let her breath.
Speaking of cleavage, Chiyo's not a very busty girl. She's not flat, though her fashion choices don't accentuate the small about of bust she actually has, giving her a pretty 'small' look. Her main selling point is her long, trim legs, which, combined with her mid-thigh length plaid skirt has gotten her a few appreciative glances. Aside from that, Chiyo's not really much of a stand-out kind of girl. Her hair is dyed a green-aqua mix, but, just like her, tends to be overlooked in favour of a 'hotter' girl.
Personality: Chiyo is a fairly ‘broken’ person. Completely unable to admit her true feelings, it’s not uncommon for her to lash out at those who try to get close to her out of fear they’ll find everything she’s been hiding away. Coming off as rather aloof, most people wouldn’t guess that Chiyo is extremely anxious about social situations - nor would they guess that the grumpy cutie from the second year has recently emerged from two years locked away in her bedroom.
Being an ex-hikikomori, Chiyo is still unaccustomed to stepping outside and into the public eye and, though she’d never admit it, is utterly terrified at the idea of doing so. She tries to cover this fear with in-your-face aggression and snark, alienating herself from those who might try and hurt her by pretending to be her friend. When anyone so much as implies that she’s only so grumpy because she’s nervous, Chiyo will almost always react with violence or screaming, furious at the very idea that someone would call her out on being afraid of something. Ever since middle school, she’s declared herself incapable of fear and will fight anyone who says otherwise.
After being bullied at her last school, Chiyo doesn’t trust people easily. Most of the time, she’ll ignore or only just tolerate others hanging around her, only opening up when someone makes it clear they won’t be scared off by a scowl and a scolding and legitimately want to get to know this apparent ‘Ice Queen’ better.
When you do get passed the thick shell of annoyance, you’ll find that Chiyo is actually quite a mother hen. She’ll always bring her friends lunch and try to clean them up, no matter how inconvenient it may be for herself.
Deep, deep down, Chiyo is quite the crybaby. If she allowed herself to be honest, she’d cry over most things; sad movies, television ads featuring pouting puppies and kittens - she wears her heart on her sleeve, so it tends to get bruised pretty easily. She’s especially soft towards displays of affection, whether it be platonic or romantic, usually making her throat close up and eyes water when she holds back her sobs.

The Potential
|
Strengths:
—Strength Name: Memory
—Description: In battle, Chiyo can recall an enemy’s weaknesses with almost perfect accuracy. She can also use this outside of combat, although she tends to only use it to memorise recipes and not for her school work.
—Strength Name: Adaptable
—Description: Chiyo's not the kind of person who's really bothered by hot or cold temperatures. This means that she's comfortable in most terrains, whether she's in weather appropriate clothing or not. Of course, she's still effected by extreme conditions, but to a slightly lesser degree.
—Strength Name: Pop Culture
—Description: Chiyo knows everything there is to know about popular culture after spending so long in her room with only the internet. Need some l33tspeak translated? She’s your girl. She applies this strength to combat by using video game logic - for example, if it's blue, you should use fire magic, or if it's glowing then it must be important.
—Strength Name: Cooking
—Description: Despite living on instant noodles for so long, Chiyo’s actually a pretty good cook and tends to enjoy making bento for her family and friends, even though she'd rather die than admit she has any fun doing something like that.
—Strength Name: Stamina
—Description: She's been beaten up enough that she's developed a pretty high pain tolerance as well as stamina. In a fight, she can go for longer than most and can take at least a few more hits and, if in the right mood, might actually push someone aside to take a hit for them. Don't count on it though.
Weaknesses:
—Weakness Name: Short Tempered
—Description: Everything Chiyo says is seriously business and she doesn't appreciate anyone laughing or poking fun at her. She especially hates it when someone disagrees with her, and is prone to exploding whenever someone pushes her too far - which is quite common, actually.
—Weakness Name: Paranoid
—Description: Due to past bullying, Chiyo is extremely paranoid, believing that anyone whispering around her must be insulting her in some way. Combined with her short temper, this means Chiyo often lashes out at people, regardless of whether they were talking about her or not.
—Weakness Name: Low Determination
—Description: Chiyo’s the kind of person who doesn’t try anything twice once she’s failed. She’d much prefer to just run away than have to face something she thinks she can’t do, just like a pouty child. Never point this out, though, or Chiyo will gladly punch you out.
—Weakness Name: Poor Academic Ability
—Description: No, Chiyo isn’t stupid, she’s just... lacking in certain areas. Those areas mainly being the ones that would help her get through school, like math and english... and science and literature - basically everything, to be honest.
—Weakness Name: Insecure
—Description:Chiyo can't handle criticism without a small meltdown. Something as simple as 'Uh, nice hair...' can her her spiraling into a panic attack or intense rage. Anything like a flat insult can send Chiyo into full breakdowns, leaving her unable to defend herself from an attack or face her friends for a short period of time.
Soul Bound Weapon:
Weapon Name: Silencer
Weapon Description: A simple carving knife with a 20cm blade; much like one you’d find in any kitchen.
Weapon Image: 
Weapon Attack Type: Pierce
Weapon Element: N/A

The Background
|
History: Chiyo was a pretty average child in both grades and up-bringing. Her parents loved her and did their best to make sure she was well provided for and in return, Chiyo did her best to get good grades and make her parents proud. Everything went along like this for most of Chiyo's life, only changing in middle school when Chiyo's grades plummeted and she begun skipping classes. Furious, her parents begun forcing her to attend classes, refusing to allow her to come home until the school day had finished, completely unaware of the reason their once model daughter had become a delinquent.
The answer was simple; Chiyo Watanabe was being bullied by her classmates. Nobody's quite sure of the reason - maybe it was Chiyo's tendency to cry at anything even slightly melancholy - but by the second year of middle school, the girl was the official bully magnet. Everything from property damaged to beatings in the changing room, Chiyo went through it all, too ashamed to tell her parents or teachers what was happening to her.
Eventually, though, it all became too much and Chiyo stopped coming to school all together. At first taking it at as a simple teen rebellion, her parents gave in and let her stay home for two days, only to find that Chiyo refused to leave her bedroom on the third. Now somewhat concerned, her parents pleaded with her to come outside, only to be refused and for Chiyo to stay in her room for another four days, only sneaking out to use the bathroom and grab food from the fridge.
Chiyo spent the rest of her second year, all of her third year and all of her first year of high school in her bedroom, only agreeing to be tutored when her parents literally begged her. Thanks to that tutor, Chiyo was able to take the entrance exam for Kizuna Academy, allowing her to enter into the second year. In order to help her adjust to a newer, busier lifestyle, her parents sent her from their home in Hayabusa to live with her Aunt in Shibakuzoi, encouraging her to embrace her new start and abandon her shut-in ways.

| Very good app so far, but there's just one thing, you didn't put anything in appearance. I know that you have a picture, but Appearance also encompasses what she wears outside of school, maybe some ways she wears her hair, and more. If you can just put a few things in appearance, then you'll be good to go. You also need a birthday for her.
