I guess I'm guilty 'til proven innocent
And I'll be gone before they know what I hit em' with
And this predicament is pure coincidence
Oh brother here comes another incident

Is known for her excellent memory, and can always find her way around a building after visiting only once no matter how long it’s been. 
Can only cook things out of a box. 
Has trouble sitting through movies 
Could subsist entirely on junk food; can be bribed with gummy bears. 
Goes running nearly every day, sometimes in the evening or the early morning, or just randomly when she has too much energy.

Magpie acts a bit different than Raven herself, when she’s meeting with clients she tries to be more calm and serious but the love of what she does and the way it excites her still shines through.

Personality:

Raven is a kinetic learner, which translates to how do I know the stove is really hot unless I touch it in this instance, always been touchy. Wants to know how things work and how they feel, she remembers things with all her senses--how a person smells, the texture of their skin and hair, the sound of their voice. When she’s not on a job she also has trouble respecting personal spaces.
 
Speaking of things that get her in trouble, the worst thing to tell Raven is don’t; don’t touch that thing, don’t take that thing, don’t bother that person, don’t ask those questions. That and I bet you can’t are the two phrases guaranteed to make her interested in something she didn’t care about before.
 
There are grifters in her family that are very good at what they do, but Raven will never have their skills. They did, however, teach her a few things. Including the fine art of talking for hours without saying anything, and how to step back and blend into a crowd and disappear quickly.
 
Her ability to adapt quickly, landing like a cat and thinking on her feet is all her own, though her family certainly fostered it. The LeBeau’s started stealing because they couldn’t eat any other way, and survival at any cost isn’t a lesson they have ever forgotten.
 

Still, she wasn’t her grandfather’s ideal protege. Raven has issues maintaining relationships outside of her family both romantic and platonic. Things get hard, things get stressful or make her feel too many things and she hits the road. It’s part of the reason she’s stuck to BB, just to prove that she can keep a friend around. Though each job she has is taken seriously she likes to play, making some things into games and laughing when most people wouldn’t. This was a constant source of frustration for her teachers.

 

Her work tools are organized and well maintained, but the rest of her life isn’t. Her living spaces and vehicles are always a mess, clothes scattered everywhere and a fridge possibly (probably) stocked with expiring food. She gets real bad tunnel vision, gets so caught up in researching a job that she’ll forget to eat and sleep, mainlines coffee like a university student stressing for finals.

 

Though she has no issues standing up for herself she’s shite at confrontation. Lay hands on her and her early, family taught self-defense lessons kick in and she’ll hit you enough to get your feet out from under you and run away. Too nosy for her own good, with a memory that helps her retain stuff she shouldn’t and a love of poking metaphorical beehives means she’s made more than one person mad but when they confront her she’s more likely to dodge questions and bail than push back.

 
Raven has trouble with empathy, trouble understanding why people are upset and even sometimes why they are happy. She still helps people who are suffering if given the opportunity, and has enough of an ethical code not to steal from people who are in a bad way. Her love of shiny things and dislike of stagnation and staying still has never faded, and with that comes a love of change, of shaking things up just to see what will happen. This doesn’t always end well for other people, but that’s a consequence she still hasn’t quite wrapped her head around.
 
A bit of a hoarder, she collects private trophies from each job, things that look innocuous and are lacking in value to anyone but her. She also tends to steal from people around her when she’s in a crowd without even realizing it, especially when she’s nervous. It’s something she has to consciously stop herself from doing. As a side effect, perhaps, from her tendency to go through relationships, she tends to steal at least one thing from her partners--friends or otherwise, and won’t even give it back.
 
Is known for dying her hair outrageous colors, and bouncing from wearing no makeup for a week to wearing all of the makeup. Sometimes her idea of blending in and being inconspicuous is actually “If I dress outlandishly enough people will be too distracted to think anything else about me”

<a name="4"></a><div style="padding:10px;">HISTORY.<hr style="height:4px;line-height:100%;margin:5px 0 8px 0;width:100%;border:none;background:url(http://i.imgur.com/8IzIRCB.png);"><div style="height:430px;width:430px;padding-right:10px;overflow:auto;">

According to her great uncle, who was chain smoking in the front yard while his niece gave birth inside, she was named Raven because her mother wanted to honor both their Cherokee heritage and their family’s love of nature based names. Her mother says it was because as she lie in the bed screaming a raven perched on the windowsill, calm as could be, and she took it as a sign from her grandmother whose name had been Crow about her daughter. While of course, her father still stands by the assertion that the pain made his wife latch onto the nearest animal she saw for a name.

 
All that is to say that she was born into a family of slick talkers who are as loyal and loving as they are bull headed. They are an expansive bunch, it seems every woman Raven is related to could hold the nickname ‘fertile myrtle’ with little effort. She has two older siblings and two younger and more cousins than you could shake a stick at, their family also has a tendency of adopting close friends as honorary members, Raven has Aunts and Uncles she doesn’t share blood with but would still take a bullet for.
 
The LeBeau Family, based out of Louisiana but clustered elsewhere in the US and in a few other countries as well, has a bit of a reputation in certain circles. It’s one they’ve earned, are aware of, and are right smug bastards about it at times. You see, they are thieves. Thieves, grifters, con-artists, hackers, a few demolitions experts that even the military was made wary of by the gleams in their eyes.
 
Crime wasn’t mandatory, but you do what you know and water follows the same path down the mountain over time, and other cliche phrases that means you usually end up following tradition intentionally or otherwise. Raven may be her parents child but her grandfather doted on her, more so when at eight she started hoarding any jewelry that was in her reach, even if ‘reach’ was defined as a short climb away on top of a precarious dresser. Raven didn’t want to wear the jewelry really, she just wanted to have it, because it was pretty and she thought it was fun to take things.
 
Nimble, quiet and displaying an early gift for eidetic memory Raven started mentoring under her grandfather at the age of eleven. He was the most renowned thief in Louisiana even at his age, and though no one took her on official jobs that early she flourished at training exercises given to her. It was all fun and games to her and she was competitive even then. Going to the zoo for her thirteenth birthday and competing with her cousin to see who could pick up the most wallets earned her the nickname Magpie from her grandfather, or Mags, the former would one day be her alias clients would use to hire her and the latter what family referred to her during Jobs.
 
Raven started Working in the family Business the year she turned fifteen, but still managed to graduate high school with wholly unremarkable grades in everything but Photography--something she discovered a surprising passion for as an extracurricular with the added bonus of using it on jobs. She had a talent for mathematics, but didn’t like doing the work if it didn’t have practical applications, or there wasn’t a competition involved.
 
Restless, eager to see the world and with sticky fingers itching for a challenge she set off from home after she graduated high school, her parents had bought her a car as a reward for sticking with school. A little compact thing, good on gas and purposefully nothing impressive from the outside, but with a whole array of helpful hidden compartments.
 
Magpie made a name for herself, with the quick efficiency of her family even if she didn’t advertise her last name--wanting to be successful through her own work instead of theirs. She didn’t turn down jobs because they were going to be difficult, or high risk, she never changed her asking price after it was agreed on and she didn’t ask extra questions. Along the way she met Chris, a man much more subdued than herself whose smile reminded her of her Aunt who specialized in information and knew entirely too much of it. She did a few jobs for him, and he had the eerie ability to know when she was in his city even when she had just arrived. But he paid well and never gave her boring jobs, so she didn’t question it too much.
 
When she was just twenty-two a client of her’s got greedy and she got greedy, or maybe some combination of the two. Sure, she could steal papers from a famous straight line judge’s house, sounds fun. But the woman, Ma’at was nearly as silent as The Magpie and caught her as she was leaving. She spent nearly a year being chased around the South by a dogged detective on her trail before hightailing her ass up north.
 
In DC (the home of thieves in suits) she met BB when she took on a side job of Photography for a questionable news magazine or three. Raven didn’t write many articles herself, never one to focus long on the written word when actions were better. A kinetic learner, always had been. But BB was better with those, they made a good team and were almost equally bad influences on each other. Her family trusted her judgement on who to tell about her and her family’s...Professions, but she was tentative about it in the wake of being in a Judge’s crosshairs.
 
So she did a few odd jobs to pay the bills so none of her new friends would wonder how she was eating and paying rent, BB saw her do a little parkour here and there when she was feeling particularly ornery and she may have broken into her friend’s car that one time when she locked herself out. Oh, and her apartment the once when BB had brought home someone questionable from the bar and hadn’t texted in the morning. But still. Beset not take the risk of her friend getting dragged down with her if something happened.
 
When BB moved to California Raven stayed behind for a few months and took on another risky job that she probably shouldn’t have involving a high profile senator. She wasn’t caught, but it was a near thing, and decided to stalk her friend across the country because why not and all.

Future Plans:

Raven will shake things up, and likely get in over her head with people and events she probably shouldn’t. It will be fun to see how her flighty nature will contrast with the other mischievous deities, especially because she’s the least smooth with people as any of them. She’s still coming into her own in some ways, so it’ll be interesting to see how the other deities affect her development.

Transformation:
Raven has often symbolized change and a bit of chaos, it is fitting then that as Raven’s transformation begins her natural tendency to go after things she shouldn’t will intensify becoming more of a compulsion than a habit. She’ll also be able to transform into an actual Raven, it’ll start when she’s startled or nervous and her thievery and hoarding tendencies will become worse in that state until she’s learned to control it.

Ability/Powers:Illusion; from getting into things she shouldn’t, into places she shouldn’t, getting out of tight spots, and hiding things she shouldn’t have Raven’s ability of illusion will come in handy. Like Raven herself it is a thing that is essentially harmless until the wind shifts and the ability is honed and used just right, although usually it is the flashy sort of temporary mischief. She will be able to give the illusion of a changed appearance, hide things and make projections that are usually used as a distraction.

APPEARANCE

If one were being kind they would describe Kin’s body type as lithe or willowy, if one did not have a proclivity towards such things they would call her lanky or bony.. The muscle that she has; in her forearms, thighs and calves does not come from vanity or concerns about health but rather necessity for survival and her ‘chosen’ job. Along with effects on her metabolism from experimentation.

A sharply angled jawline, small mouth but mismatched lips and sharp cheekbones means stern is Kin’s default expression. Thin eyebrows, a naturally pale complexion and a less petite nose than her more delicate mother of her means that Kin tends to be more disconcerting than alluring. Lacking in a natural genetic predisposition to feminine curves, and developing callouses early from her chosen weapons along with an overall lack in feminine softness meant seductress would never be Kin’s source of income.

The ignorant would look at the bags under her eyes, the tracts on her arms and between her toes and think her a recovering junkie. But most of the times her hands are steady, her eyes are sharp and she will always test clean. Some things will never go away and are more obvious than others to the outside eye.

Kin usually only wears makeup if she is explicitly trying to hide something or needs it for a job, and prefers her clothes to be quiet and lowkey unless an assignment requires otherwise. Versatile. Normally wears long sleeve shirts and boots, and little to no jewelry, her indulgence is the color purple, what jewelry she is often purple along with a few scarves and hair ties she owns. Although she does pride herself on being able to hide small but effective weapons on her person at all times, and dresses accordingly.

PERSONALITY.

[Flaws are bolded, strengths are underlined]

Kin knows her flaws and strengths, and though she may downplay or overstate them depending on the situation she had no choice but to learn them. Her boss’ put together three man cells with reasoning behind them, and in the one that worked best the longest they all had distinct roles; D was the strong one, tell him who to hit and how and down they go, could also take hits all day. Z was the strategist, good at not getting caught, good at coming up with a plan. Kin? Kin was the cruel one, Kin did what Z told her no matter who got hurt in the process because she didn’t care, vicious and fast--sometimes too good at the former.

Kin is excellent at studying people give her a few minutes to watch and listen, and she’ll bring you back the chinks in their armor and how to tear it off. She’ll say the meanest things without hesitation, with a grin all the while.

See, the problem is Kin was never the leader. She’s hot headed, if you manage to get under her skin, threaten one of Her People or if you show you’re better at something than she is, or just catch her at a bad moment she has the potential to blow a plan sky high. Retreat the call goes out, but Kin is too distracted with trying to win her own fight which she probably would have won already had she not been wasting time taunting them before hand. Kin’s temper tends to come out as pacing and fidgeting snapping, more insults than usual before she eventually physically lashes out.

As a consequence of who she served under in the Yakuza, and her general personality, Kin needs direction. She isn’t the best at finding her own way, she needs someone else to give her a plan, a solid set of steps with little deviation. Like someone who needs the military, Kin requires structure. Lest she crumples. As an unforeseen consequence of this it’s perfectly possible that after some time truly on her own the panic will set in and it will be much easier to sway her to a side just so she will have somethng to latch onto.

Furthermore, Kin is Loyal to the point of toxicity, once you have her loyalty it’s so very hard to lose it. This is great for who she serves and terribly for her. It took her dying for her to run from the Yakuza, and a part of her misses and loves them still, so she has not acted against them though she given the chance.

On the plus side she is Detail oriented, which makes her great at information retrieval, and cover ups of all sorts, and being a tattoo artist.

Still though, she’s judgemental and a bit of an ass about it. Once she comes to a decision about you, whatever it is it’s hard to convince her she’s wrong.

Kin can be affectionate but only with certain people, and she prefers to initiate contact on her own.

Terrible at admitting she’s wrong and it’s like pulling teeth to make her apologize for anything.
Flirting manifests in what looks like bullying, and she greets new people with hostility unless it’s a customer or someone of an obvious higher rank than her that demands respect at first glance.
Kin is possessive and doesn’t like sharing. Even as a child she didn’t share her toys or her parents love very well. If something is her’s, whether it is a person, space, or an object, don’t touch it or she can go from calm to enraged before you can pologize. Strengths/Merits:

Adaptable

Quick learner

perspicacious

Weaknesses/Flaws:

Prideful

Short tempered, unable to turn down a fight even when she knows she’s being goaded.

Holds grudges, which clashes with her survival instincts

HISTORY.

Ah, where to start with Kin? Good portions of her history are wholly uninteresting and not very unique, truly. Not much to write home about, or differentiate her from others. Maybe it would be best then, to start with her parents? Moral, graceful, passionate people who took their careers and lineage seriously and held their heads high, standing up for what they believed in and trying to set a good example for their daughter.

Oh well that is a bit cliche as well if we’re being honest.

Perhaps her future boss, or dcotor, or even lord depending on how you perceive such things. A man just as wicked in mind as in heart, hungry for immortality, for power and with room for little else in his sight. He was not the first of the Yakuza to do twisted things, but there was a certain tone of cruelty and madness that twisted the bounds of human...Well of being human, that made even the others of his family give him space.

However, Kin was not the first child to lie under his needle, and she was far from the last. So nothing that special there.

So her parents then? Yes, you’re quite right.

Kin’s mother, Asuka Tsuchi, the second oldest of her three siblings, was always a contrary woman. There was a brother above her in age, but he didn’t have quite the head for business that Asuka did, the passion or even the charisma. He was meek, selfish and had issues relating to anyone that was not from a household like his own. They came from a very old Japanese family that had made their fortune both domestically and internationally growing and selling traditional teas, and then gradually everything that goes with it.

By the time she graduated college Asuka had convinced her family that she would be better to carry on their family’s legacy and company once her parents could not, and in a stunning move had been given the role of heir. One of very few second children to take over, and fewer still ranking among the women to properly lead them when there was no death involved. It probably would have been better had she been less ambitious, but you know what they say about wishing in one hand.

Asuka would meet her future husband in New York, who was also from a Proper and Traditional Japanese family, and also the second child. A renowned violinist, Jin was known to be charming, sincere in all things to the point where it was hard not to become friends with him upon first meeting him. They were married within a year, passionate, sweet and utterly in love, no one was surprised when the pregnancy announcement came so fast after the wedding.

Kin was 12 when her grandparents became too ill and her mother took over their company, still keeping her home base in New York. Asuka and Jin were Good People and wanted to run their business and leave a legacy that reflected that. They were idealists, which was allowed to continue while someone else was at the wheel because it was amusing and kind of cute to everyone else. But now? They had to face facts, and the facts were these; The Tsuchi family had been wrapped up in the Yakuza for so long no one was sure where one began and one ended. Asuka had been calling high ranking Yakuza members Aunt and Uncle without realizing it and felt a bit of a fool once it was revealed.

It took less than a year for Asuka’s own family and their ‘business associates’ to decide Asuka was done being humored and softhanded. She was given an ultimatum; toe the company line or step down. Both her and her husband stood fast and so, they were taken care of and the position was given to her elder brother. That was how Kin found out about it all, walking down the stairs because even then she was a late sleeper to find the kitchen a mess and her mother and father on the ground in pools of blood. There was a man standing over them cleaning a metal baseball bat, who watched her reactions carefully.

Were this a hero's tale you were having the privilege of hearing, Kin would have run away, used the speed and agility of youth to get out the door. Would have found the police to server as witness to the man who killed the only family that really loved her. Perhaps she would have become a detective to save other little girls. Were this a tragedy then still she would have ran, but too afraid to run to the police she would have lived on the streets, becoming a thief and who knows what else to survive. Maybe she went to school but probably not, and maybe they didn’t get their hands on her so she stayed pure in that respect but in the end she had no true childhood as she should have.

But this is neither of those stories, instead she took shelter from the trauma of the sight before her behind the man’s legs. He grinned a smile that was only reassuring to her for the simple fact he was alive, and he took her back to his Family.

Kin was not the only teen her age they took in, street kids, runaways, even children of the Yakuza found a place among them. At her age and because her loyalty was question she was considered disposable and not entirely useful, so she was assigned to someone who well--who needed bodies with beating hearts and not much else.

They called him the Snake Doctor. A great deal of brains, money and old blood but very little heart, the man was filled with a hunger for power and immortality. He collected teenagers and even younger for his experiments, and even the worst of the Yakuza preferred not go into his labs. First he tried new techniques, injections and any other means of manipulating their DNA and anatomy on them rather than himself.

Yes, a great deal of them had a component of Venom, from snakes or otherwise. An odd mix of new world science and technology mixed with almost pagan medicine. His Children, when they survived, looked like junkies to the ignorant eye; track marks on their arms and between their toes, sometimes on their necks or even in their eyes, the tendency to have markedly higher or lower temperature than expected, with the added bonus of sometimes coming out enhanced.

Gradually, as his kids proved to be loyal to the Yakuza has a whole and sometimes unhealthily loyal to him they were put to work when not on his table. It started small as these things are known to do; go retrieve this money or object, spy casually on this business or police, steal this relatively lowly guarded object. Then as they grew older, more skilled and less liable to break it became worse--find this person trying to start a gang in our territory and make him come under our umbrella or story, get protection money from this business and only restrain yourself some, steal from this highly guarded place, threaten a police detective or congressman’s family to show them their place.

Ah but they got out of hand so quickly for children. The Doctor’s kids were not the first ones growing up in the Yakuza by no means, that tradition dated back over a hundred years, but these lost control so much easier than anyone else. It was like what he did brought out their baser instincts, enhanced their worst qualities.

They were told to just scare people, or just clear out a rival hideout, and instead there were bodies. They became skilled at cleanup, at framing someone else or at making it look like nothing happened at all.

Kin herself had a reputation, the other kids her age--both the Doctor’s and non-- and even those just a few ranks above her started calling her Orochii, which the non-Japanese speakers including those not in the Yakuza started shortening to just ‘Ro. It translated, roughly to an 8 headed, 8 tailed giant serpent. She thought it was just because of who she served, and it was partially, but moreso it was because of the venomous words she dripped and the speed in which she moved.

Kin was glad her abilities were relatively harmless--enhanced senses alone. Running around in the areas they frequented of New York with as strong senses as a dog wasn’t the greatest, or being able to see every bit of trash floating down the hudson, but she would take that over one of the things the other kids got. If it was too useful the Doctor took you away and you never came back. So she learned to repress everything she heard, smelled and saw to keep what she had left of her rational mind.

When she was seventeen they took her and some of the others off street duty to put others who were more in control of themselves on it. They tried to find roles for the kids, other ways to be useful. For Kin, her attention to detail, photographic memory, and ability to listen to her Betters without giving lip was valued by one of the most prominent tattoo artists among them and she was given an apprenticeship. Through this she developed a love for drawing and art, and by the time she was twenty-two she was taking clients of her own--usually only within the Family of course.

Then things changed(or better yet, things went to shit) when The Doctor received a shipment of what were supposedly magical items, Kin found herself submerged in some sort of warm sparking goo again and again so the point where she pleaded with him to find out what she did wrong. He smiled and told her how lucky she was before pushing her back in. That night she was sent to her room and told her she was not too leave nor have any visitors.

Those who would call her sister, who she had taken hits for and lives for, who she called hers were having none of that. They thought the Doctor had reached his breaking point. Finally gone off his rocker. It was no challenge for them to sneak into her room and tell her to pack, and she was torn because the Yakuza were all she had known for ten years and and and-- ”Kin are you batshit?!” They used her real name because the higher ups only called her girl, the Doctor called her my child or baby doll and everyone else called her some variation of Orochii. They did it to get under her skin this time.

Kin lashed out at him with a fist but he knew the way she moved and how she would react, grabbing her arm in time to twist it around and hold her against the wall even as she kicked out against him in a fruitless struggle. The others were muttering, worried about getting caught, wondering if she was too far from them to bring back, “So what if we die? What did you expect all these years? We are canon fodder! Expendable! That’s how it’s always been, we were never going to get promoted and live to a ripe old age!”
She twisted against him even as he tightened his old until she threw herself down to the ground with such force her arm was pulled out of it’s socket from his grip and her skull including her nose smashed to the floor. It could have been better executed, but he knew her too well and knew how to hold her until she had no choice but to hurt herself. He just didn't think he would, well clearly he was fucking wrong.
They stepped back, because before them her nose was knitting itself back together and the cut on her cheekbone was healing. There wasn’t much time for anything else before men poured in, their Master among them. He was grinning like they had never seen him before and Kin was hauled to her feet.

That was the last they saw of her, The Doctor caressed her face and whispered sweet words as she was loaded up into a private jet. Kin had never felt so loved as she did during those hours on the flight to a city he only called The Capitol. He said she was so special, that this could have only worked on her alone and that there was a man with more magic than Kin could dream of in this city than anything she could dream. This man would make it so she would live forever within her master because she had done so good for him.

The next few weeks were characterized by brief flashes of consciousness with a grinning man she had never seen above her, with lightheadedness mixed with searing pain. Later on she will come to believe they were draining her blood and possibly taking out pieces of her bones.

All she knows for sure is that she wakes up gasping two weeks after she left New York in a very small box under a great many other boxes in a warehouse that she loses her nails trying to get out of, a day of her life and gets a wonderful new phobia in the process. She runs. She does not call her friends, nor her aunts and uncles who have long disowned her, she does not pass go or collect 200$.

That was three months ago, she showed up in Repose at the tattoo parlour looking for work, rented a motel room with the money she stole along the way. It took some convincing, a lot of drawing and dismantling and naming of equipment like she would a pistol to prove she could do what she had been studying for years since she had no references and no pictures but they took her.

She’s stayed low, gave herself bangs and put fire red streaks in her inky black hair, only went by Orochii in the hopes it would help her friends call her without the higher ups finding her. Gave up Tsuchi, and told as few people about Kin as possible. She has committed no crimes, and though she was recognized once by some Suit from the government in the Capital and offered some sort of bargain to turn evidence of the Yakuza she refused and went to ground, so she has hardly gone anywhere but home and work to avoid further recognition. And that, as they say, is where our story begins.

Combat Skills.

There are some of her kind that have fashioned toxins out of their own blood, to coat their weapons or drop in the tea of unsuspecting victims. They have also done the opposite, becoming renowned for healing elixirs for sale or for family from their own veins it is not something Kin has developed a talent at. She has a small amount of both that a friend fashioned for her, but she keeps them more as objects to barter should it be necessary than anything else.

When faced with close combat she can grow fangs and claws to lash out with, though she usually only resorts to that if her weapons are lost or her temper has gotten away from her. Preferred weapon is the Tonfa, both bladed and non, has basic hand to hand combat before it bleeds to a bit more...savage type when cornered.

Thieving skills. Is skilled at picking locks, both mortal and magical though is not experienced with curse breaking and is more likely to avoid an object if she thinks it will throw something nasty at her in the opening.

Can speak to mortal and other magical snakes to ask for their aid, though they are not obliged to give it.

Slow aging in both shapes.

Banshee like scream that causes no permanent injury.

Gaze that can turn both mortal and magical victims into stone.

While her vision is normal her sense of smell is stronger than a mortal and when she is in her natural form she has a feature unavailable when she is trying to pass as human that gives her the equivalent of infrared vision. The downside, being that it works best at night of course and she sticks out much more in that shape.

Serpent-Kin, including the Gorgon, are known for being very fluid in their movements. Able to move quietly and with an easy grace, even when injured. Many Serpent-Kin have used this to become professional dancers, or other such performers, it can give the illusion of a noble bearing. While Kin dances as a hobby on occasion, she is more likely to use this gift for infiltration when needed or even to disappear.

Naruto/OC Profile

2015-09-20T05:12:44Z

Kanazawa Hitomi is the third child of seven, because her parents were stubborn and wanted enough children to run the business and were just stubborn enough to keep going until they had the two girls they wanted. Her mother is a child of a sailor and started her own clothing shop, ranging from sturdy clothes that appealed to the sailors of shinobi travelling through, to intricate beautiful pieces for big occasions or gifts.

That is how she met her future husband, he was a shinobi who came to her village seeking exotic weapons that a village like this would have due to their interactions with lands only accessibly by boat. He came back as often as his missions would allow, before retiring several years later, hanging up his shinobi wear to help with the shop. The couple made a decision together to never tell their children which hidden village he came from, there were too many shinobi that came through the village from too many different places.

A couple of this children were born with curly hair, as their grandmother had who was not completely Japanese. Though they had never had the opportunity to meet the woman, their mother told them they should wear it with pride. However, it was not widely accepted, though the sailors and tradesmen who had seen all manner of people, a green eyed, curly-red haired Japanese child was frowned upon by some.

For this reason when Hitomi was done with her lessons in stitching and the like she liked to hang around the docks. Here she acquired colorful language, a fair amount of gambling skills and an appreciation for fighting dirty. Even though he never went into detail of his past, their father taught all of his children a minimum of basic chakra control, along with rudimentary lessons with the most common weapons, and enough taijutsu to defend themselves.

While her mother wanted her to stay home and run the store she was her father's daughter; his genes coupled with the stories from the docks gave her an insatiable need to travel elsewhere. Still, she had a passion for creating things, and loved the store in that it gave her an opportunity to meet all kinds of people. In a way of bringing her passions she took Kanazawa Threads on the road to the village that seemed to have the highest amount of trade and the most open minded; Konohagakure.

Personality

Hitomi is inquisitive, she loves to learn about all manner of things, and has a bad habit of eavesdropping. Luckily she tends to do fairly well at it, unfortunately that means she has never seen this has a negative trait because it's never gotten her into trouble since she was 5.

She has issues with personal space, meaning she has no respect for anyone else's. She loves dance, and music, she cannot sing and she cannot play, but she greatly admires those that can. Her jokes are numerous, and while she is confident in their humour her siblings would disagree.

While she has not dated very much, probably because of her five brothers, she is very flirty, varying from the obviously innocent and harmless to innuendos that are proven to make sailors blush, and is very good at math, a skill she learned from gambling, and also to keep customers from trying to get one over on her.

She can have an awful temper, but she tries to keep it under wraps, truly. Her biggest pet peeves are being ignored, or being dismissed as unimportant, her displays of anger tend to start with witty and cruel insults, and end with yelling vulgarity with threats that she may or may not be able to backup but will definitely try.

One of her other flaws is that she tends to get tunnel vision, she focuses in one thing and forgets anything else going on around her. Goes along with being stubborn and prideful, she has issues apologizing, has issues forgiving and is not ashamed of the latter. People don't change to Hitomi, they were either hiding their true self underneath, or they are lying now. That's one of the reasons figuring out what village her father came from is one of her private hobbies.

Hitomi is also a fidgeter, constantly undoing, redoing her hair, a half finished project always at the register while she runs it. Her old friends and the sailors who she used to hang around were used to her retying any random strings that they had undone or righting crooked things, not that they bothered her in and of itself, she just doesn't sit still very well.

She loves to try new things, including food, and considers eating a hobby. Probably why her cheeks are the way they are to be honest.

Lastly, she does enjoy being alone just as much as she enjoys being in crowds. It gives her a chance to mull over the day, and she usually does this at night, after the shop has closed. Any time it is an option(or only somewhat an option, as she likes to push the rules) she goes barefoot, and can be seen wandering the town without shoes on(though with her, she doesn't want to get stranded among glass after all) at night, though not on roofs, she might have a thing about heights.
Appearance

Hitomi has thick,strawberry blonde curly hair that goes just past her elbows. With Bright green eyes, chubby cheeks and dimples, she can stick out, and prefers that places where she does not like with other strange looking people. When she is working or stressed her hair is in a braid on her shoulder, and when she is relaxed it is usually down. She also stands rather tall for a girl, at 156CM.

Normally her clothes are very utilitarian, as it is hard to crochet, knit or any other kind of needlework with giant kimono sleeves hanging from one's arms. She needs to be able to move about the shop quickly, or leave in a rush if needed and get back in time to man it, so pants suit her best. While her pants show off her posterior(not on purpose), the rest of her clothes are usually fairly modest, though she can dress otherwise when deemed necessary. A little makeup is used, just enough to show she cares, and she usually wears greens and browns to flatter her eyes and hair.

Pimp Post master list

2010-07-29T23:05:46Z

Hello all! I’ve recently completed my project of making a pimp post for all the members of the current lineup of Morning Musume. Because some of them got a bit long I separated them into different posts, also just in case you want to read up on just one member, its easier.

These posts aren’t meant to tell you everything about a particular girl, so if I didn’t put in that your favorite is really good at playing hula hoop, don’t have an aneurysm. These posts are just made so that new fans will more easily be able to see the different personalities so they know who they want to discover more about.

Also, I put a LOT of music in these posts, especially the ones with the lead girls. So enjoy that too.

That said, please comment, discuss, pimp out, enjoy.

New to the fandom? Old to the fandom? Feel free to take your fangirling/fanboying over to upfrontfic the new Hello!Project fanfiction community on lj.

Also, as some of you know, I recently made a pimp post for AKB48’s singles, not the girls. I do, however, provide some helpful links at the bottom of the post if you want to learn more about specific girls.

That being said,please comment, discuss, pimp out, enjoy.

Name: Qian Lin
Birthday: March 11 1991
Nicknames:Linlin!

-Linlin is the first Momusu member in history to not have auditioned, instead she was recommended by a friend of Tsuku’s and joined as a hello!Pro egg before finally joining Momusu with Junjun in ’07.

- When she and Junjun first joined, Linlin was nearly fluent in Japanese.

-No one is happier or more enthusiastic than Linlin, she may even beat Gakisan in that category. This is demonstrated by her performance of Koi No Dial where she was REALLY FREAKIN happy to be front and center.
-She stated in a DVD Magazine that she wakes up every morning and looks in the mirror and laughs. This supposedly keeps her in a good mood for the rest of the day.
-Linlin is the leader of Mini Moni! Gen. 3 as evidenced here, she is perfect for the role!
- Linlin and Junjun have had a love of Kpop imparted upon them by Aichan, and they have stated they like F(X), Big Bang, 2ne1, 4minute, 2pm, and because Reina likes DBSK it is assumed they like them also.
-More examples of Linlin having fun, because she does it so naturally even though Linlin is more respectful than Junjun, she wears her emotions and thoughts on her face, she is a very upfront person. If she’s happy, then she shows it, if she wants to be a dork, then she is.
- Aichan and Linlin doing Kara’s Buttdance during the making of Seishun collection. Like it? here, have a gif, take it, spread the Linlin/Aichan love.

2010-07-29T07:16:31Z

Name: Li Chun
Nicknames: Junjun
Birthday:February 7, 1988 (age 21)

- Junjun is one of the first two non Japanese members, she competed on a Chinese American Idol-esque show but failed and was contacted by Tsunku to join Morning Musume. She joined in ’06. It was a beautiful day.
- Junjun loves bananas. Like, she REALLY loves bananas.
- When she first joined she picked Sayumi as her favorite member, and got teased for emulating her a lot at first. They often write long emails back and forth.
- Her and Reina are very close, they are together a lot outside of work and Reina jokingly calls her “boyfriend”
- Junjun is at the beginner level of English, and when she first joined she knew hardly any Japanese.
- Junjun is a bit of a dork and has an odd way of interacting with the other girls.
- Junjun, Reina and Sayumi have great chemisty, unfortunately the oldest of the two don’t have the best caring or teaching skills, here is another from the same DVD (huh?) Love that clip? Here is a memento.
- She participated in a beauty pageant several years before entering Momusu.
- Junjun plays the piano.
- Junjun, Sayumi, and Sugaya Risako are going to be in V-u-den gen. 2, also known as Zoku v-u-den, also, to make it easier on you, its pronounced Biyuden.
- Junjun and Linlin lived with eachother when the first joined H!P, Junjun was mean to Linlin to the point where Junjun ignored Linlin even while she bowered her computer.
- When Junjun first joined Morning Musume she had a blog that she posted on a lot, many people went on and hated on her, posting harsh and cruel comments on her blog because she is Chinese and joining Morning Musume. She took the whole incident in stride though and kept her blog going and never made a post about it. To my knowledge at least.
- Many fans say that she often makes a ’please adopt me puppy face’ on her blog especially.
- She was in a album song, Guruguru Jump with Linlin and Koharu. Here is a subbed version from when it was used to open a concert and of course had all of H!P, and here is the original lineup In the lesser of the crazy outfits they wore for this song.
- When Linlin and Junjun first debuted with Momusu they were fondly referred to as ‘The Pandas’ by international fans.
- For some good Panda moments, watch this subbed interview.. Also watch for language mistakes, they’re hilarious. Also, Linlin says her agency could kill her for--
- Junjun is still a blogging fool, and takes a ton of couple-ish pics with the other girls, including non Morning Musume members. She is also a big fan of Berryz’s dancing fiend—Captain Saki Shimizu.

- Junjun starred in a mini drama for Shanghai Expo! It is subtitled, and its refreshing to hear her speak in her original language, which she is, of course, much more fluid and natural sounding in.
- Junjun, Linlin, Miyabi and Koharu were in a sub-unit called Ex-CEED that performed exclusively at Shanghai Expo.
- Also, this is a performance she did with Sayu and Risako it is rare because she isn’t with Linlin.
- Junjun is currently the tallest member of Morning Musume. However, I believe Kumai from Berryz is taller than her.

- gif span starts now , are you having fun? you a Junjun fan yet?! Jeez! Look at that clap!

So you want to learn about AKB48...

2010-07-28T22:27:24Z

Following the tradition I started with themagicalfaggy and jangboah in converting people to Jpop acts, I bring you my small introduction to AKB48, largely pre-fanservice era.

Granted, AKB48 has always centered around fanservice, but I loved them before thats what they were largely known for, when they were causing a different sort of controversy. Videos and helpful links underthe cut.

So here I present to you my, personal five favorite AKB48 singles, why they are my favorite, and why they are a show of AKB48's musical talents and capabilities.

We are going to go about this in an odd way, and remember this is an intro for their music not the members, I'll provide links for posts about the members though.

This is the first single of theirs that ever got my attention, actually it was the first single that got a lot of people's attention. Seifuku is their fourth single and alludes to voluntary teenage prostitution(or so they speculate) the video is one of the few to actually have a plot, or so. It features the main girls in various situations where they are alone and sad looking (wandering through an arcade etc) before they are contacted by males of one age or another. Though the lyrics are seemingly just about a girl wanting to do the nasty with her boyfriend, the video alludes to otherwise. For a Jpop song to talk about a girl trying to embrace her sexuality in a world that doesn't want her too, though she is going through puberty and it is inevitable, was quite surprising at the time, and caused some controversy.

Prostitution aside, the video is beautiful, highlights the girls who can sing well while still giving screentime to those who cannot. At this point in time Team B was still forming so the amount of girls wasn't particularly overhwhelming. The song itself is catchy, with a clear climax, unique(relatively, at least) instrumental, a distinctive rhythm and a catchy chorus. Though it has the AKB48 signature Seifuku and bits of fanservice, it is hardly predominant throughout the video.

Their single that came out right afterwards, is my favorite of theirs.

Keibetsu addresses the subject of teen bullying and the constraints of the Japanese social class system in school and otherwise, and with desparaging text messages flashing on a cell phone throughout the video, it gets the point across like a knife in your gut. Its distinctive, catchy, and the girls(both in the video and in the song) project the emotions of the song very well so that you feel the distress of the girl in the story. This video, also, obviously as an amazing plot with an astoundingly crafted setting.

Ah, Bingo!, what can we say about you? I love this single, heck, I own this single, its in my CD binder...somewhere, and I still have the photocard that came with it. The girls are captured in a slaver boat, and subsequently escape and are so happy about it they magically are clean, with happy, brightly colored dresses and they dance on the beach and sing about love. There is no deep symbolism behind this, and I'm still not sure why they say Bingo Bingo~ in the chorus, other than the fact that its catchy, but the vocals are top notch and the song is just...Happiness inducing.

I really, really love River, although to be fair, there are few who watch/hear it who dislike the single. The catchy, semi-non repetitive song is different, with a mixed style of 'belting/shouting' style of singing and the more delicate sounding singing type we were use to from them. Its an empowering song, about following your own path and having courage even if you have to cross a River (a bridgeless one at that!) to get to where you want to go, because there will always be obstacles in your path. Just watch it, its awesome. Apparently HD pvs of River are an endangered species, but the performances are amazing too!

Also, there was a USA version of the PV made which is quite, erm, different than the Japanese. The girls are seen in african inspired makeup, which they are very enthusiastic about. http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/7SDr5TUsMHg/ -- I can't find it on youtube ;~;

Finally....

Chocolove was a subunit of AKB48, but I still think they blong here becasue these are AKB girls and are from the same company (obvs) so they still show what the group/agency is capable of. The song is beautiful, not very fast, but a good balance of deeper, strong voices and softer, feminine sounds. Its lovely, with an inspiring message and a strange, but captivating PV.

Helpful links!

Personal Info
Name/Alias: Curry
Age: 19
AIM: tsuchiraven
E-Mail: little_missy_kaoru@yahoo.com
Roleplay Experience: Five years off and on, took a break for a few months and tried a few different types of RP (non-anime) but now I’m back.

Character Info
Name: Tsuchi Kin
Age: 26
Department: Physical Therapy
Position: Assistant to head of department
Sexual Orientation: Straight
PB Model/Cosplayer: Hwang Mi Hee

Personality:
”..and she looked him right in the belly button and told him he was in for it.” As expected from someone with her upbringing, Kin has no fear no matter the situation. She is calculative, seeing someone’s flaws and openings whether it is in an argument or a physical disagreement, in her head she has it mapped out, with an over-the-top confidence that sometimes has her missing her own weaknesses.

“Kin sit down, no seriously, sit your butt down he was joking—oh god there she goes.” Kin takes everything to heart, a joking insult to her friend or a playful punch to her shoulder and she stands to start a fight or unleash a string of verbal insults out of nowhere, geared to completely cut them down. She holds grudges too, the cliché phrase goes “Women forgive but don’t forget,” but Kin doesn’t do either, and has known to discard friendships she’s had for years because someone wounded her pride. It isn’t something she’s terribly proud of but she certainly isn’t quick to change either.

”So she walks into the sleepover, fidgeting with her hair ribbon, stands away from the glittering girls, looks back at us like she’d rather be back in the kitchen with the adults and just strides into them. Two hours later she develops this scheme with distractions and all, swipes the fireworks from the shed after destroying the lock and is setting them off in the street.” Even if Kin is uncomfortable, nervous or scared, she does her damndest to look confident and in control. People tend to listen to her, if only because she seems to know what is going on. She’s fidgety too, and paranoid, so if she’s in an uncomfortable situation she becomes afraid she’s going to start fidgeting and everyone will notice and start talking about her therefore she’s constantly moving or talking or planning; something. Kin needs to be active because she gets antsy if she's being passive, and she’s thinking five steps ahead of whatever is going on. Unfortunately, this often means she misses what is right in front of her.

”So what did Kin look like after you called her that?” “I don’t know!” “What do you mean you don’t know?” “She was throwin’ pencils at my face! One hit my eye!” All joking aside, even though she will say otherwise, Kin cares very much what everyone else thinks about her. She doesn’t show strong emotions, and she doesn’t like to fail in any way around others, so before she opens her mouth to speak or before she reacts she’s thought about the response that will make her look best and everyone else look like an idiot. Therefore, yes, Kin is a bit of a sore loser. She is big on social propriety, though she isn’t afraid to get dirty when necessary, she thinks that there are certain things that you simply do not do in public. She has a ferocious temper, but it shows in controlled ways; quiet, sharp and cutting insults, a few short sentences meant to do the most amount of humiliation and self-doubt as possible, and if she is in a physical engagement it plays out the same way, speed and a plan to not only take her opponent down but make sure everyone else knows what happened in the process.

”She’s like a hunting dog that sees a single bird and goes after it, and in the process runs past a dozen others just like it, but she has to have that one so she ignores the rest.”” Kin has problems fitting in with other’s, even those who she has much in common. She’s too stiff, too wary and impersonal. It has never occurred to her that not socializing and not bonding with coworkers or fellow students is a strange things or can make things awkward, in fact, if you ask her she’ll say she’s never been in an “awkward situation” because she’s never thought of things that way. She loves challenges, but if conquering one (academic, professional or physical) ever required her too open up to another person then she would fail without understanding as to why.

”So she gives him this deadpan, bored look and says ‘tact is the adult word for lies’” If Kin calls you a friend—then she would do anything for you, it would just take awhile to notice that she was helping—then you have to know she is sincere because she runs off everyone she doesn’t like. One of the reasons she went through so many roommates in college and so many different doctors when she was an intern was because she had problems with keeping her opinions to herself, and broadcasted when she didn’t want a certain person near her.

Kin has problems being surrounded by a great deal of people at once, being none too fond of crowds and noise, it makes her feel out of control and makes her panic. This is one reason she tends to avoid relationships, even though her mother has taking to staring at couples and children when they are having lunch, in says it would be a distraction, when in all reality she has very rarely taken relationships above the flirting level. She's cynical like that, the glass isn't just half-empty, its filled with cyanide. Besides, she curses like a sailor when she isn't at work, and she doesn't exactly walk around with glitter eyeshadow and jingling purses, she has a tendency to intimidate guys, so no one much sticks around.

History: Born to a military father and nurse Kin had an oddly contradicting childhood. Her earliest memories of the woman who never quite left work at work, was the smell of antiseptic. Her father, for most of her life, was a military inspector, and was given two options when his family was concerned; bring them with on his travels over Japan or leave them for months at a time, and for the protective, prideful patriarch of the Tsuchi family, there really was no choice.

So they traveled, and even though they lived with her father he spent long hours meeting with commanders and taking long walks throughout military bases filled with stern young and old men who looked like they hadn’t laughed in ages, and eyed her purple hair ribbon that her mother had given her (”So you remember that you really are a little girl.”) with an odd sort of dislike. Truthfully, she wished he would have just left her at home instead of trying to take her places, she always felt like she was being watched. If it wasn’t tall, sharply dressed men in uniform and women so unlike her laughing mother then it was the patients and medical staff at her mother’s work. There was little time for children’s play, but that was alright by her because it seemed much more interesting to see how “the country was built” according to her father, and even her mother chimed in “if it wasn’t for hospitals we would die quickly, and not just physically, humanity would lose hope.” So playing house was seen as boring and uninteresting, compared to long plane rides and hearing her parent’s insight on every topic imaginable.

She was always one place or the other, stuck inside a bustling crowd that was ever moving around her, and she tried to figure out their stories in her head. The dying man with the shallow cheeks and the wheelchair, did he have a family? Was he nice to the nurses on base, the ones like her mother? Would he die happy—free from whatever made him sad now—or disappointed that he was here, surrounded by white walls and depressed looking doctors?

They settled in a small town just outside of Tokyo just a few years before she entered college, but the place drove the girl crazy. The hustle and bustle of the city, with hundreds of teeming lives and obstacles and technology called to her, much more than the quiet place her father had retired too. Plus, just look at her; beautiful, smart, intelligent(yes, she firmly believes they are different), cunning and able to physically outdo just about anyone who tried anything, and that had to translate to mental strength to right? Right, she was unstoppable, and definitely being held back in that little country town. The town, if possible, made her even more cynical and detached from other’s because she thought she was better than them, that she was meant for greater things and that this place was holding her back. The girl was always picking fights in her few years of stable schooling, if it wasn’t calling the teachers incompetent and foolish while fostering a mutiny, it was paying other kids to hack into the camera systems so that they could pull elaborate pranks on the school without getting caught. Proving that just because she was a military brat didn’t mean she didn’t act out, she just did it in such a way that it was difficult to know it was her pulling the strings. All it took though was one long talk from her father about forcing her into the military to give men shots in their bums for the rest of their lives for her to stop destroying vending machines and starting riots in the cafeteria to protest the food.

She, unsurprisingly, went to the biggest and most prestigious college she could, and after extensive research into all sorts of careers chose Medical, her mother was pleased, her father less so but still proud. After announcing her next decision—Physical Therapy—her parents were confused, having never seen their daughter ending up where compassion and patience was needed. With a smirk and a proud spark in her eyes Kin rattled of statistics about how many patients are not treated properly during Physical Therapy—especially soldiers—and that they lose productive members of society(and waste money on medical care) because the patients fall into depression during the therapy stage, or are not monitored close enough and heal wrong at the last possible moment. In her words, it was like a beautiful castle that was crumbling where stability was most important. So she would study psychology heavily, which wasn’t a burden because she liked to think she already new what made people tick anyway.

Medical school only brought one worry to her parents; that Kin was going to exhaust herself before she even made it to a hospital. It didn’t occur to her that it would be unreasonable to go for 16 credits a semester or to try interning by her third year, but if there was anything medical school taught her, it was her own limits.

Reason for Joining KGH: Kin is looking for a new challenge, and wants a larger place to work in.

RP Sample: (I hope an NPC is okay?)

The patient has exhibited a high tolerance to anesthetics and various types of sleep inducers and has been known to react violently to physical pain out of reflex due to childhood trauma-- The muscle just above Kin’s right eye twitched( the one that she had privately named Mizu) as she heard the sound of a zipper being pulled down once again for the third time within a two minute time period, and her eyes darted to the clock above the administrators desk with high hopes that visiting hours were nearly done. Visitors weren’t usually even allowed down in this section, but Kin had practically campaigned to allow it because children were so uncomfortable in the normal patient rooms, whereas down here it was more open, and sometimes the patients she worked with were easier to work with if she conned the kids into thinking making Daddy walk around on his hurt leg was some kind of game.

But all that didn’t excuse the brat who wouldn’t stop playing with the damn zipper on her jacket while she was trying to review files! Where was that damn chittering, chattering, cherry blossom smelling intern when Kin needed her anyway? Maybe this was some kind of test of her ability to remain calm under uncomfortable circumstances.

Even when said circumstances smelled like bubble gum.

--the patient is afraid of water, to the point where the sight of a pool(even our shallow one) will induce an anxiety attack, therefore all exercises where one would normally be placed in--

Her teeth nearly bit into her lip in agitation as the zipper progressed in speed before jerking her head to the side to see a little girl with high pigtails and a ghastly green jacket yanking a zipper up and down her jacket with fervor, eyes wide with giddiness at the fact that it lit up.

Well whoop-dee-fucking doo, did she want a medal or something?

“Hey brat, where are you parents? Who are you here to see?” Her voice was sharp, and carried over the short distance between the visitors chairs where the girl was sitting all alone with a practiced ease and she stilled her movements instantly, much like a mouse as it senses the hawk nearby. Kin practically clapped her hands with glee as the girl looked up at her, apprehension and tears in her eyes, and right there, before god and the other five patients, technicians and nurses in the office rattled off a name, room number, admission date, cause of injury and classification and allergies to her without blinking.

Kin’s mind reeled for a moment’s time before the gears in her head clicked together, Photographic memory. That has to be it, that man was just admitted into that level of care yesterday by the sound of it, and I met him this morning. She must have just seen the sign. Remarkable.

A grin crossed her face and the girl grinned back unwittingly, extending the zipper towards the older lady as if she was sharing a toy but Kin was swooping in, her hand reaching into her bag that she nearly always kept nearby, “You, little one, shall be my protégé, and we shall conquer great civilizations together. Or something, but first I’m hungry.” Successfully diverted from reviewing the file of the 12 year old boy that was starting treatment tomorrow, Kin strode off with new momentum, the pigtailed girl holding her hand while she thought of new ways to show off her newest minion.

Morning Musume Current Lineup Pimp Post pt. 5 -- Reina

2010-06-07T21:11:09Z

Introducing the Yankii of Morning Musume!

Name: Tanaka Reina
Age: 1989-11-11
Generation: ~~the best~~ sixth
Nicknames: Reinya, 07, Tanakacchi, Ren-chan, Yankii
- Is the only Morning Musume member in history to have auditioned twice. She nearly made it, however it was found out that she was a year too young (she had snuck by) and was rejected.
- It was at this audition that her reputation for being a scary/rebellious ‘yankii’ began because she had blonde hair, wore baggy pants, purple, dragons, and still wears many of these clothes and styles today.
- She is known to be one of the most fashionable of the current lineup.
- Current Hello!project members are still scared of her, especially the kids, in fact there was one interview conducted with S/mileage where ¾ of them said the senpai they were scared of was Reina and when a messenger was sent to tell her she went all scary Yankii on him until he told her who it was.
- Reina gets a lot of solos at concerts and has recently, on albums and concerts been doing a lot of duos/trios with the other leads Aichan and Gakisan likethis cover and is known for her flexibility, going from cute or hyper songs to slower more difficult songs and of course the more rocking powerhouse songs that proves Reina is one of the more blantantly sexy Momusu members.
- Has ‘wonky’ eyes that was more noticeable when she first joined.
- Is the first Morning Musume to lead in her debut single.
- Tsunku said that Reina is the closest to a perfect idol/Morning Musume member.
- Reina lovesherfreakin sunglassesso its recommendable that you don’t touch them because she’s still a scary yankii deep inside.
- Also, she loves balancing weird shit on her face.
- Reina isn’t as ‘clingy’ with the other girls as some of the members are, and they often describe her as serious and secure. She wants to be the leader of Morning Musume one day. However, she is still close with EriandSayu (don’t ask I don’t even know). She spends a lot of time with them at their respective homes
- Reina has become very close with Junjun, she says that they go on ‘dates’ and that Junjun is like her boyfriend, you can see them here being very close and relaxed with eachother, and Reina teases her quite a bit saying ‘Eri is Kawaii, Sayu is kawaii, Gaki is kawaii…” so on and so forth, purposefully skipping over Junjun until it dissolves almost in a wrestling match because Junjun is trying to shove her picture at the camera going “KAWAII!”, especially watch from 2:28 its just hilarious, Junjun like puts her arm around Reina and everything~ <3.
- Oh yes, Reina loves her belts too, I have the frim belief that the only reason she’s wearing one in Seishun collection is because she insisted on it.

Morning Musume Current Lineup Pimp Post pt. 4 -- Sayu~!

2010-05-27T05:48:31Z

Name: Michishige Sayumi
Birthday: July 13, 1989 (1989-07-13) (age 20)
Generation: 6th
Nicknames: Sayumin, Shige-san, Shige-pink

- Is noted for never changing her hairstyle or color throughout her tenure in H!P
- She is in the environmental unit Ecomoni with Ishikawa Rika, which was formed in 2004 and made another appearance in 2007.
- Is known for her Usa-chan peace~ signature, gesture/move/pose. Its gone beyond the wotas and to mainstream shows/jokes.
- She was Kusumi Koharu’s mentor, and complained about the girl saying that Kusumi made her so frustrated that Sayu was ‘pulling her eyebrows out’ in stress.
- Koharu and Sayumi had a very interesting relationship, Sayumi was often complaining about Koharu but then again she is known to have a ‘poison tongue personality’ at Koha’s graduation Sayumi said a lot of mean things to Koha but ended up hugging her for so long that they had to be reminded to pull apart. One way or another they were cute together and Koharu brought out the goofy side in Sayu.
- The two formed a duo together that performed at concerts called Shige-pink and Koha-pink They performed two cutsey songs Wa~Merry Pinku Christmas and Rainbow Pink with one ‘normal’ song Takera No Hanako that was their last song together.
- Did I mention that Sayumi can’t sing very well? She, similar to Konno Asami was admitted into Morning Musume for her looks and how much she obviously wanted it and how hard she worked at her auditions.
- Sayumi got her first solo song on their recent album titled, It’s You showing that while her voice has improved, she still isn’t on par with the other girls.
- Even though her singing talent may be lacking, her stage presence isn’t. See her here give an overall better performance (said by Risako fans also) than Berryz’s star Risako also it should be noted that she sings better here than in her solo.
- She publically asked Tsunku to let her sing in Japanese, since in many songs she is just given a line in English such as Resonant Blue where she shouts ‘Help me!’
- She loves collecting things, like hairclips and cellphone charms, and wants to one day give these collections to her children.
- Fujimoto Miki said that she hates seeing Sayumi act cutsey and whiny on stage because that’s not how she is in real life, that its just an act and its annoying. Her and Takahashi have a radio show together and once when Sayumi couldn’t appear Takahashi(who had recently become leader) said that the girl was more mature and better at leading the girls than her at times.
- Sayumi has her own blog and was one of the first of the girls to get one. She praises the other members often in it, but garnered quite a bit of attention n the beginning because netizens were leaving hateful comments about an acne problem that Sayu has.
- Ever since she joined she has been Rika’s protégé and rival because Sayumi is constantly saying that she is ‘the cutest member of Morning Musume’and isn't afraid to say it
and the biggest ‘beauty’ she has always said she was in charge of cuteness and in recent years she said she wanted to be in charge of Sexiness also.
- Sayumi will take any chance available to ham it up for the camera
- Has a tendency to find the oddest things funny
- Sayumi has been given a bit more freedom lately and has been making regular appearances on several variety shows where you see ‘Devil Sayu’ where she makes ‘mean’ comments towards other guests.
- Some favorite Sayu moments because I Link text
- Junjun looks up to Sayumi a lot, and is know to act a lot like her to the point where she gets teased for it. Junjun, Sayu and Reina are all very close
- Sayumi is a fan of Beckii Cruel and the group Idoling!!! And has gotten nagged for wearing one of their shirts to rehearsal.

Morning Musume Current Lineup Pimp Post pt. 3 -- Eri

2010-05-25T04:40:03Z

Let me introduce you to the turtle of Morning Musume…

Name: Kamei Eri
Birthday: December 23, 1988 (age 21)
Nicknames: Eririn, Kame-chan, Kame
Generation: Sixth!
- Kamei took the longest of sixth, and longer than most to come into her own, to develop her own self and stick out in Morning Musume. She was quiet, shy, and whenever she tried to make jokes she was often chastised because she didn’t have the right ‘air’ or drew them out to long (see Morning Musume’s appearance on UTB, for.. Go Girl I believe)
- She loves small, tight cramped spaces. The other girls have said that during their early concerts that when Eri was nervous they would find her stuck between mobile closets etc and they were afraid she would get squashed.
- Whenever I think of Eri I think Eh~ which is one of her favorite reactions. Also, spazzing but somehow remaining elegant and cute is another signature reaction
- Eri has grown to be one of the comedians of the group, and still does odd jokes that sometimes seem to come out of nowhere.
- Eri is one of the three main lead vocalists of Momusu currently. Her smoother, more feminine and delicate voice provides a contrast to the Aichan and Reina, the other two leads and even Gaki too.
- Has a radio show with Gaki
- Is closest friends with Sayumi, but has recently become closer with Gaki in the past two-three years or so.
- Can never do anything funny/cute without laughing afterwards cause she’s that kind of goober
- She has surprisingly mad dancing skillz I know your eyes are drawn to Yossie in this, but pay attention to Eri too!

Morning Musume Current Lineup Pimp Post pt. 2 -- Gaki!

2010-05-24T04:22:00Z

I KNOW THESE ARE COMING IN SOOO SLOWLY. I PROMISE. FIRST DAY OF SUMMER I'LL HAVE THE REST UP. THATS LIKE...TWO.5 DAYS FROM NOW.

This post made difficult by my PB account being down D:

Name: Niigaki Risa
Nicknames: Mame, Gakisan, Risachan, Gaki
Bday: October 20, 1988 (age 21)
Generation: Fifth
- Gaki use to be known for these huge pigtails until just before Joshi Kashimashi Monotagari came out, where she trimmed her hair and cut her bangs.
- Hello, let me introduce to you the reigning Reaction Queen of Momusu.
- Is known to be one of the more sincere seeming girls, and emotes very well(she always shows emotion when she sings). She is often of the main girls the others run to when they are upset/scared/giddy.
- She is bestfriends with Takahashi Ai, and has always been closest to the girls of her generation, but after the graduation of Konkon and Mako she has grown close to Kamei Eri, they even have their own radio show now.
- She was chosen to be in Morning Musume tenth Anniversary Unit Morning Musume Tanjō 10-nen Kinentai they sang...Three songs I believe, Itoshiki Tomo e being my favorite.
- Gaki’s voice is different, a little deeper than other’s, but very versatile. It is also highly underrated
- Also, she took Yaguchi Mari’s sexy beam move from way back when and turned it into her mayuge beam, if its not obvious, her eyebrows are the favorite part of her body~ she does this move in some current performances of Koi No Dance site.
- Also, 'cause I can :3

Shinee drabbles

2010-05-24T00:39:10Z

Title Have you ever…
Rating: PG
Pairing(S): Minkey and Tofuho
Genre:Fluff
Summary: Two little fluffy drabbles I wrote >3 I hope you enjoy them, comments are mucho appreciated, especially ‘cause this is the first time I’ve written these pairings ^^

MinKey AU

Have you ever…

Driven by a place and thought it was something...
But upon drawing nearer you came to find that it was another thing entirely?

Kibum was drawn to Minho same as just about everyone else was. The cheerleaders and jocks adored him for his athletic talent that was shown on the field and the geeks were in awe of how well read he was. Of course, no one failed to overlook his charisma that was evident no matter what he was doing, the tan skin, the long hair and the tall, thin though muscular form.

There was something about Minho’s deep, soft voice that comforted Kibum, and admittedly, the fact that the colorful highlights in his hair and the love of jewelry didn’t phase Minho in the least was a big part of Kibum’s infatuation with the charismatic, younger boy.

He came to Minho looking for warmth, for protection from the jibes, from the teases and the stereotypes. He had expected to be held, that’s all he wanted, to feel wanted and needed by the boy who seemed to command a whole room’s attention by his mere presence.

When Minho’s arms wrapped around him and refused to let him go, giving him all the strength he had to give Kibum came to two abrupt realizations.

One, that he got much more than he bargained for.

Two, that his life was going to be quite different from here on out.

TofuHo

Have you ever…

Been surrounded by so much noise…

That you would give anything for a moment of oh so precious silence?

Everyone was so loud. So much talking, so much advice, so many suggestions and thoughts from everyone around him and it drove Jinki to the point where he curled up in his bed under the blankets to try and escape it all, but their words wouldn’t stop running through his head, eating him away like maggots eating his mind. It got to the point where he hardly slept anymore, the discoloration under his eyes hidden by the talented makeup artists.

Being leader wasn’t so much about unifying the group, or being a figure they looked up to, or even giving orders. It was about getting swept up in the tide of everyone’s opinions about how they should be, how they should act, how they should sound, how Jinki himself should be.
Every day he was being melded and shifted, changed into someone else.

Nothing of me is original, I am the combined person of every person around me.

And then, through the haze and noise there were strong arms around him, calloused hands running through his hair and a deep voice in his ear and suddenly the world was so much more quiet and Jinki could finally sleep again.
