The Character Physically

1. What is the character's stature and build? Is she overweight? Thin? What is her height and weight?

She's a bit short - around five feet. She's thin - nearing ridiculously so, though lately she's been able to add some weight on.

2. How old is she?

22!

3. Describe her posture. Is it good? Does she carry herself well? Is she crooked? Straight?

Moderate. When she's paying close attention she'll sit up straight, but otherwise she tends to hold a lazy slouch.

4. Is she in good shape or out of condition? Is she muscularly weak or strong?

She's... Well, she doesn't get too much exercise - while she's thin, she's not particularly in good shape.

5. How is her health? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities? Mental health?

She's in good health for the most part, though she seems to get sick every so often and stay that way for at least a couple weeks at a time.

6. Is she physically active or sedentary? A fast or slow mover?

She tends to be sedentary - being from our modern world, she's used to conveniences and the like.

7. Is she clumsy, awkward, graceful?

To be perfectly honest, she's often just fine - not particularly either or - but on occasion she can be an awful klutz.

8. Does she move in straight or curved lines? Is she physically tight or fluid?

There is something fluid about her movements - a practiced ease with which she manages to do the things she's so used to. She also tends to meander - never taking a straight line when there's an alternative.

9. What are her chief efforts?

Her hair. If it's not perfect she'll put up a horrible fuss - though now in Wonderland she's beginning to care less and less, as there are more important things at hand.

10. Is the character good-looking, pretty, beautiful, average, plain, ugly, disfigured?

She's not gorgeous, but she's got something of a generic beauty - there's something in the attitude that adds to it.

11. Is the character aware of herself physically? Her looks?

She's well aware, and not afraid to use it to her advantage, should the need arise. As said though, she's not gorgeous, so it can only get her so far.

12. Describe sher complexion and skin. Dark, light, clear, marked?

Depends on the time of year. In the summer she spends a lot of time outside, so she gets tan - but in winter she's an absolute shut-in and it shows. She gets pale - on her extremities to the point where if you look hard enough, you can see the veins. That's only on feet and hands, however - legs and arms thankfully still hold enough color.

13. Describe her hair, coloring, styling. Is it taken care of?

Her hair is black - she's very, very vain about it and takes immaculate care of it, and styles it more-often-than-not in a pompadour. (shut up pomps are amazing)

14. How is her usual dexterity? Does she have good hands: Can she do things? Is she a worker?

She does well enough at busy little things, but other than being good at video games, she's not particularly helpful in that department.

15. Is she physically tense or relaxed, nervous, controlled?

She's very relaxed and has a bad habit of flopping where ever she falls; though on the rare occasion she's nervous or scared it's obvious in her entire demeanor - her movements will get a little jerky, and her muscles will often be tensed from the time it starts to the time it stops.

16. What are her chief tension centers?
Neck and shoulders.

17. What part of her body would you notice first?

I'd say likely hair, as it's big and poofy. ♥

18. Describe her basic gravity factor. Is there a downward pull or buoyancy?

Isn't there an option for somewhere in the middle? She's not got either in particular.

The Character's Clothes

1. How much clothes does the character have?

Tons. Though she tends to wear the same things over and over.

2. What items are in their wardrobe?

The obvious panties and bras and socks; skinny jeans, vintage (1950's) style shirts, flats. Then there's the leather - pants, jacket, and high-heeled (think spiked-heel) boots. A bosozoku jacket, and yes a couple medical masks. TONS of pajamas. There's more gaudy things as well - more for on stage than anything else.

3. What are their favorite articles of clothing?

Her leathers and the boso jacket, though she doesn't really wear it anymore.

4. What colors are the clothes? Is there a wide range? Bright or dull? What are their favorite colors to wear?

It depends - underthings are all different colors, while outerwear is often jeans and a shirt - with the shirt more often than not being red. Red is one of her favorite colors to wear.

5. Are their clothes bright or dull?

Bright! Though the leathers and boso nonsense are black and white, respectively.

6. Were they bought or home-made, hand-me-downs, expensive?

Bought. Some of the stage clothes, and the boso jacket, were made for her, but other than that allllll store bought.

7. What is one of her favorite items to wear?

Ummmm I just said the leathers, jeez. :(

8. Do her clothes fit well?

Yes.

9. Is she comfortable in what she wears? Does she "fight" the clothes?

She's not allowed to fight wearing things. She works in the entertainment industry and wears what people tell her to while in work, and whatever she wants outside of it.

10. Is she confident about the way she dresses, or uneasy?

Confident!

11. Does she care for her clothes? Keep them up and neat? Is she worried about how they look?

Little known fact: She hand washes a lot of her clothes so they last longer.

12. Does she have to dress a certain way because of her job or position? If so, do her usual clothes fit her real, basic character?

She has to dress as she's told - though she does get a bit of say since her band isn't big yet, and because the music style fits her clothing style. Overall, she doesn't have to dress too differently.

13. Does she dress according to a self image of herself? Is that self image conscious or unconscious? At what age was her self image made?

She just dresses how she feels. Emotion is a big part of it - She sees herself one way though, and often dresses another way entirely. Age-wise... I'd say her self-image popped up in the teenage years.

14. What kind of underwear does she wear?

Super hero undies!

The Character's Voice

1. Does she speak in a high or low pitch voice? When might she be higher than usual? When lower?

She tends to speak in a surprisingly low (for a Japanese girl) pitch; though it does get a bit higher when she's excited about something - and on occasion lower when she's singing.

2. Is she a loud or soft talker?

Soft. she is very soft-spoken quite nearly all the time and in just about every situation. she also does not vocalize when startled, and is overall very quiet in person.

3. Is there a wide range in the voice in volume, pitch and/or quality, or is the voice pretty consistent and even?

Volume is relative to emotion. She's fairly quiet when calm, but when riled up she will flip out and her volume will go up about seven notches. As for quality - the best is when she's singing, no doubt.

4. Is there good resonance to the voice? Is the voice throaty, chesty, heady, nasal?

As a vocalist, there had damn well better be good resonance.

5. Is there tension in the voice? Anxiety? Emotion?

There's always emotion - she's never been one to hide emotion well, and anything she's feeling filters out through her voice.

6. Is there an accent? Anything unusual in pronunciation? Emphasis? Phrasing?

Real world: She's from Japan, and has an accent accordingly. There's no real unusual thing about it.

Wonderland: She knows every language thanks to the Cheshire Cat, and when she was dealing with speaking English heavily for the first time, nearly everyone in Wonderland was English - better yet, in those beginning days she spent most of her time with Fred. Consequentially, she's picked up a very English way of speaking, though the accent is still a bit questionable. (Cockenese? *shot*)

7. Is it a trained voice, or just natural?

Heavily trained, at least in singing. She works very hard at that - though in normal speaking she could care less.

8. Does the character "try" to speak well or just "how it comes out"?

She really doesn't care either way; words tend to just spill out (often without even a thought).

9. Is the speech clear or muddy? Does she mumble? Is she distinct?

She's fairly distinct, and makes a point to be because she knows her accent can be awkward and daunting.

10. Is the voice comforting or irritating? Reassuring or disturbing?

She tries to be comforting and reassuring; though sometimes it doesn't work out too well if she's upset as well.

11. Is she self-conscious when she speaks to others? How large a group could she speak to before she became self-conscious?

She's self-conscious, yes - though as a worker in the industry she's in, she's really not allowed to show it and manages to stamp it down.

The Character's Mind

1. Is the character smart, dumb, naive?

She's smarter than average, but not a genius - rather, simply clever.

2. Does she think quickly? Slowly? Is she quick-witted? Dull?

She thinks rather quickly, but it sometimes tends to trip her up when her mind goes faster than her mouth - especially so in the days before the Cat helped her speak fluently.

3. What kind of education has she had?

She finished high school and did some cram school - college never really panned out however.

4. What subjects does the character have knowledge or expertise in?

She was passable enough in literature and the like - but concentrated more on the arts rather than 'traditional' school subjects.

5. Is the character impulsive or deliberate in reaching conclusions? Is she logical, rational, or emotional?

She's very impulsive - always emotional and sometimes irrational. It's gotten her into trouble before.

6. Does she think out things before she speaks or can she "think on her feet" as she is speaking?

It's not so much 'can' think on her feet as 'has to because she doesn't think first.'

7. Does she have contemplative times? What does she think about when alone?

She's often alone, and spends much of that time either thinking up lyrics for her band or these days, trying to think if she really wants to go home or not.

8. Is she an idealist? A pragmatist? A dreamer? An idea woman? An action woman?

She's a dreamer and an action woman in one, if that makes sense. Dreams about anything and everything - but when things come up she'll snap back to reality and work with it.

9. Is her life motivated chiefly by abstract ideals or practical rewards?

She's a 22 year old that wants to make people happy by using her voice. I'm thinking abstract ideals.

The Character's Emotions and Personality

1. Is she an introvert or an extrovert?

Extreme extrovert.

2. Does she get along well with people? Does she have charm? Are people attracted to her? Does she like people?

It depends. She's charming and attractive, but she doesn't like many people much. However, she's a wonderful groomer and will continue to flatter and compliment and be overall charming (and often coquettish) despite inwardly hating someone or thinking they're annoying as hell. ♥

3. Does she have many friends? Any close friends?

In wonderland she has several casual friends, but not many people she REALLY trusts. She does trust Fred more than she does many others, and enjoys Faye's company from what little of it she's had.

At home, she dislikes almost everyone she knows.

4. Is she hot-blooded or cool-headed?

Hot-blooded. Her reactions are just that - immediate reactions driven by whatever's triggered them.

5. Does she have a narrow or wide range of emotions? Do they show often?

Her range of emotion is intense and always her heart is on her sleeve. If she's happy, upset, frustrated, angry - it's obvious.

6. Does she indulge in emotional peaks, outbursts, or valleys? Often?

Very often, though the legitimate outbursts are rarely public.

7. Would you say she is basically sensitive or calloused?

It's hard to describe. She's got a calloused streak a mile wide, but throw a child at her and she'll be full of sensitivity. She's a soft spot for certain individuals, as well - and as such will be more sensitive to them than to others.

8. Is she suspicious, cautious, trusting, or naive about new people or situations?

She's very suspicious, but outwardly puts on a front of trusting - because people are more willing to open up to someone they think trusts them. Then she can make her judgement accordingly when she knows enough about them.

9. Is she an aggressive or reactive person? Is she a pusher or a puller?

She's quite aggressive - when angry, it's worse. She tends to push more than pull.

10. Does she take positive or negative action?

Positive, if at all possible. Otherwise, she fears all hell will break loose.

11. In a danger or emergency situation would she go to it or run away from it?

When she can, she'll go to it and help how she can - despite not liking people much, she doesn't want them to die.

12. Is the character basically nervous or calm?

Calm, if I have to pick one of the two.

13. Does the character have a sense of humor? Does she appreciate jokes? Can she see humor in unfunny situations? Can she laugh at herself?

She's got a sense of humor and a distinct ability to laugh at herself until it becomes too much. She can find humor in almost anything, really.

14. Can she tell a funny story or joke? Do others find her amusing?

Often times something she thinks is utterly hilarious people will just scratch their heads at, so I'm going to go with no.

15. Is she a practical joker? What is her opinion of tricks or jokes played on other people?

They're boring and stupid and people can get hurt.

16. Is her humor ever cruel?

Only on the inside. ♥

17. Under what conditions could she be harmful or mean or cruel to another person?

Easy - if they hurt someone she cares for.

18. Is she a loving person? Is she full of love and giving or rather bound and tight in the area? Is she capable of relation to others in a loving way? Is she capable or relating to one specific person in a romantic way?

When she does love, it's deeply - and she'll give everything she has. She tends to be more cautious now that love has burned her in the past, but she's still capable of feeling love and reacting as such.

19. Is she loved by any other people? In what way?

Her father loves her. One she cared for loved her and left her - other than that, she tries not to think about it much.

20. Is she romantically in love now? With whom? Is this a happy, rewarding or frustrating situation for her?

Ahahahaha.

The Character's Wealth, Power, and Influence

1. Does the person have much money? Does it provide position or respect from others for her?

She's in an indies band back home, and as such... Not much money.

2. Is she generous or selfish with her money and possessions?

She's generous - she often gives gifts without even thinking about it, though from lack of money they're often made rather than bought. (Her cookies suck. I'm serious.)

3. Is the character socially prominent? Is she prominent from wealth, position or office, family history, ability or accomplishment?

Not really. Some people know who she is because of her band, but other than that - no.

4. Does the character rate high in the "pecking order" with her household? Town? Area? Nation? World?

Household: Yes. It was her and that's it.
Town: When she was younger and in a gang and living in a small town - yes. Now - no.
Area: Not really.

World: Not at all.

5. Does this person wield much clout? Over whom and by what means?

6. Can she command others to do her bidding, by word or manipulation?

Her band mates, sure.

7. How does she get her wishes daily?

She asks her magical genie? ... She does everything herself or whines at someone to bring her whatever it is she wants. As it's always one of the few people she cares about that she whines to, she often gets it.

8. To whom is she subservient? Is her submission willing or unavoidable?

At home: Very few people. By very few I mean like, one. However, it's willingly given.
Wonderland: The natives. Unavoidable.

She is seriously like the piggiest pig that ever pigged. SHE IS ALWAYS EATING.

9. How important is sex to her? What sexual activities does she partake in? Anything unusual?

It's actually not as important to her as it used to be, though it still ranks pretty high. Also - ... Do you want a list or something? D:

10. Is her exactitude about sex healthy or disturbing to her? Is sex a rewarding, enriching part of this person's life or is it frightening, anxious, or frustrating? Is sex a positive or negative factor in her life?

I'm just gonna go with "sex is awesome" here.
