GENERAL
Personality Traits:
Pros:
Friendly
Shishi is friendly and outgoing, the kind who starts conversations with other people, usually by finding some way to compliment them, or always hanging out with those she knows and likes, of which she hopes there may be many. It’s largely the result of hating being alone or feeling left out. Since she can’t stand feeling lonely or left out of things, she goes out of her way to make sure other people don’t get left out or get left alone for long periods of time. Since not everyone is this way, Shishi can and does get very annoying, as she can be very disruptive and distracting. However, when someone’s feeling down, Shishi will usually try to cheer them up by talking to them or going somewhere with them, as long as that person has fun. If Shishi is too in someone’s face, suggesting she do something quiet, like work on jewelry, is pretty much the best compromise. Then, she’ll just sit quietly in the same room as you, totally engrossed in what she’s doing, but also able to hang out and help as necessary. She very much likes making new friends and meeting new people, which is one of the reasons she’s big on parties and other such fun events.
Organized
Shishi is definitely organized. A personal planner of some kind is usually on her person somewhere, whether it’s electronic or old fashioned pen-and-paper. She keeps track of everyone’s schedule, prioritizes things, remembers people, events, places, etc, very easily. She keeps at home a special planner with pages she refills annually, which she uses to keep track of chores, events, other people’s schedules...anything she feels is important. This does make her seem like a stalker, since she knows the schedules of most people she knows, and asking her to stop it doesn’t help, because she’ll then point out that, somewhere down the road, knowing and keeping track of all this stuff will come in handy. She dislikes mess, so a good way to keep her from organizing everyone else’s lives is to deliberately make her living/work space a total mess and disorganize all her projects. It’ll make her grumpy, but it does keep her busy at a point in time in which it helps not to have a compulsively organized bunny organizing your private life. Fortunately, all this organization helps a lot during meetings, since she doesn’t take sass from someone trying to derail her when she’s in the middle of an organizational fit. Parties run by her also usually turn out right, since she can be no-nonsense when in that metaphorical mood-setting.
Optimistic
Shishi is definitely a case of “Always look on the bright side of life.” She tries to see the best in other people and find the silver lining, even if it’s hard to find. So she can’t go shopping or chat or do something with a friend when she’s feeling lonely or down; well, at least she can spend time with them. It’s the thought that counts, right? The glass isn’t half empty, it’s half full, and, if she has her way, it’s full of her favorite drink, though, sometimes, it’s better to have something than nothing. Some situations can easily be mitigated by her optimism; other things can’t be, and when they can’t be mitigated by optimism, like a situation in which someone dies, well, then, she’ll put together a good wake and get lots of flowers to lay on the grave, light some incense for them, and work harder on making sure the same disaster doesn’t happen twice.
Cons:
Compulsive Shopper
Why, yes, Shishi DOES have a shopping habit, and, to make it worse, her taste runs towards the really classy stuff, which is often more expensive. She is mostly incapable of going into a shop without buying SOMETHING, short of a conscious effort or someone actively keeping any and all wallets away from her. Window shopping is very difficult for her to do, unless she consciously reminds herself that she’s not there to shop, just to admire...and get ideas for later. Shishi loves going shopping, and if she goes with someone who can keep her in check, she does no real damage. If the person with her is desperate to go home and caves to her wishes in the hope that it’ll allow them to go home sooner...oh, man, you are so getting a large bill on the next credit card statement, and you are so helping her carry everything home. You are, one way or another, doomed to regret caving to her.
Deceptive
Shishi, despite being friendly and optimistic and organized and all that jazz, is a clever little liar with big, adorable eyes. One of her most common lies is that Isiah/Genam is her lovable big brother, a fact generally considered untrue. If it’s true, that will be a very, very strange day all around. Regardless of truth or untruth, she uses it to get what and where she wants, whether it’s into a bar that would refuse her service or a stuffed toy from the claw machine. She doesn’t lie all the time, but if it’s to get what she wants or to get someone who’s bugging her to leave her alone, she’ll lie like there’s no mañana. To her, it’s for a good cause, even if it’s very self-centered of her. She does have another limit: she won’t lie to random people on the street. That’s just wrong. No, lie only to people one knows and shop staff. Don’t lie to educated professionals, such as teachers, and doctors. Lawyers deserve to be lied to, unless they’re helping you. Don’t ever mess with someone who’s trying to help you. That’s also just wrong.
Boy-Crazy
Know that phase most girls go through when they’re little, when they love horses and ponies and such? Remember the phase that comes next, with liking guys, especially the cute ones? That phase is definitely Shishi. While she doesn’t *try* to stalk anyone, she occasionally goes stalker on a cute guy...unless he’s already got a girl he’s totally in love with. She’ll leave him alone then, and she’ll also leave guys she considers herself too close to (like Isiah/Genam), but as long as they’re cute and fit the other criteria, Shishi will swoon and moon over them for a while. Infatuation over any particular guy isn’t too long-lived, but it is definitely annoying, as she sometimes goes off stalking and talks obsessively about that one guy. She does have a reason for it, albeit a secret one: she’s looking for true love...though getting sidetracked by cute and sexy guys is also fun, and so is the chase. The reason she tells everyone else is that she can’t help it, there are so many sexy guys around just ripe for the plucking, and it’s the thrill of the chase. Shishi is not actually looking to score a date, just to have fun chasing guys and mooning over them. Fortunately, she doesn’t date those she chases, and she doesn’t go after multiple guys at once, unless it’s a harmless flirting session with all the guys at the same time in the same place, where it’s pretty obviously a game. Those who play around and sleep around kinda offend her, though this is a private opinion. She hasn’t told others, but...if she finds Mr. Right, she’ll chase him and date him, regardless of all obstacles while he’s alive. If he’s dead, then she’s just SoL, but it would be the end of her acting boy-crazy.
Hobbies: Shopping, jewelry-making, costume design/creation, making and collecting stuffed animals, parties
Favourite Food: Pastilla and anything with honey
Least Favourite Food: Plain rice; there’s no flavor or seasonings to it
Family: She says Genam/Isiah is her older brother. She’s definitely lying. Her real brother is Bain. (Discussed with both Hoshi and Ozi. 83)
Prompt:
Shishi sat very quietly, divesting a holiday teddy-bear of its clothing. Said teddy-bear had been found in the park recently, a brand-new teddy-bear from the mall, unceremoniously dropped and left behind to be forgotten until Shishi had found it. She had PLANS for this outfit, and the tag on the teddy-bear.
Shishi had spent weeks planning out time for Isiah to go shopping during the holiday season. She had deliberately made sure he knew when was a good time to go shopping. She'd had to plan around all of his schoolwork, finals, his various hobbies and his senshi work. It hadn't exactly been easy, but at least the challenge had kept her busy.
And when the time came for him to go shopping, did he take cute little Shishi with him? NO, HE DIDN'T. He'd left her home. He hadn't even taken her out to get any supplies to make gifts, which had been her fallback plan in case she didn't get to buy any presents for people. So, here she was, working steadily away on Plan C: Operation Santa's Lost Rabbit, while Isiah was off doing something fun at the mall. Something involving “Celeste's Sexiest Santa.” Whatever or whoever that was.
Finally, she finished pulling the clothes off the stuffed animal and started to dress herself up as a stuffed toy, though she was still working out how she was going to persuade someone to take her back to the mall, on the basis that she “belonged to Santa.”
Looking around, she found a pen and a scrap of paper nearby. An idea blossomed in her mind, and she picked up the pen. Opening it, she very carefully and very elaborately wrote, “Merry Christmas! I am one of Santa's special helper-bunnies. If found away from Santa, please return me to Santa at the Celeste Mall. I am urgently needed back at the North Pole to help Santa.” She added some extra flourishes and little holly bunches to the note and attached it to her new clothes. That accomplished, Shishi scampered off the desk and made for a window she'd opened right after Isiah had left.
A note for Isiah had already been left where he could find it, that she'd be out for a few hours and would be back once she finished her errand. Shishi did feel a twinge of guilt that she was doing this to Isiah. At least she had a way to pay for things, since it was rather difficult to do anything with money one found on the ground if one was a bunny. That would make shopping difficult, but there was still a possibility she'd be able to get SOMETHING done. As well as actually get to spend some time wandering around the mall during the holiday season. Ahhh, that would be a dream expedition for Shishi, seeing the mall during Christmas and maybe even getting to see Santa and all the stuff with him! It didn't matter if it was real or not, Shishi still wanted to see it, and see it she would!
She hopped all the way to the spot she'd marked out where a child would readily find her, and she was in luck. She arrived just in time for a child to walk by with her parents. The child picked her up and read the tag before her parents could stop her from picking up the “stray animal.”
“Please, Mommy, please, can we go to the mall? Santa won't want to be without his bunny,” the child begged.
The child continued begging her parents for five minutes before they caved. Apparently, they were heading to the mall for a visit with Santa anyway, though Shishi had a deep suspicion that the parents were going to see if they couldn't contact a shelter or animal control when the child was busy with Santa. Not good. Shishi had plans, and getting taken to the shelter was not on that list of plans. For the rest of the way to the mall, she held very still and very quiet, pondering her options.
Finally, when they were in sight of Santa, Shishi scrambled down from the child's arms as gently as possible and made a beeline for the sleigh they'd put out, bounding out of sight as fast as possible. She could hear the child's cry, but she also heard something that sounded like the parents comforting the child, saying that they were sure Santa's bunny was very busy this time of the year, and was probably eager to get back to Santa as soon as possible. That said, the child and her parents got in line to meet Santa. Shishi watched from the shadows for a while, watching each child sit on Santa's lap to talk with him. Even though the sleigh gave Shishi a strong indication that this wasn't the real Santa, even though she still had difficult shopping ahead of her, even though Isiah would probably not be happy to come home and find the window open with her gone, Shishi had to admit, just seeing the kids sit on Santa's lap made all of this trouble worth it.
