___Distinguishing Features: None currently

❀Status:

___Stage: Academy Student
___Alliance: Noble
___Path: Dead Soul Priest

❀Personality:

___Socially Confused: Inappropriate emotional and conversational responses; She touches when she shouldn't, speaks when she shouldn't, takes offense when she shouldn't, doesn't get the concept of subtlety or sarcasm. She's blunt, forward, and clueless, and she takes things personally that aren't meant to be.
___Studious: Whatever faults Shin-Mu may have, laziness and procrastination are not included. She is diligent and prompt in anything she does. Taking pride in a job done well and in a timely manner.
___Obsessive Compulsive: Dirt, filth, and anything considered unclean or messy have no business on or around Shin-Mu.
___Craven: She's a very haughty, hard to manage young woman. Appearing arrogant or even cruel to the people around her. She comes off as proud and sure of herself, but she's wracked with insecurities and nerves, and throws up cold indifference, cruelty, and arrogance as a shield to protect herself. To put it frankly; People scare her.
___Greedy: A mark of the privileged noble, Shin-Mu is very greedy, both for material things and for attention. She collects things that are important or of value to her, and is very protective of her keepsakes. She's clingy, and she's stubborn, and she will fight to keep said person's attention up to the point where you'd have to pries her away from them kicking and screaming to the last. That person is now -her's- and she doesn't like to share, and the thought of losing them can send her into a panic attack.


❀Hobbies:

___Reading
___Music
___Puzzles
___Sword Dancing

❀Plotting and Whatnot:
So the cards have been played and the way is paved for Shin-mu to fully embrace the traits and character flaws that have so far only been hinted at. Disappointment, failure, and lose are powerful motivation, but what that power fuels does not always lead to positive growth. What comes next is anyone's guess.

The plots bellow will start just before and very shortly after Shin-Mu graduates to Soul conduit. Certain ones are long running, while others are shorter. Please do not offer your character for a long plot if you don't wish to see it out. <3


I've got your back
A friend. A real, loyal, and well intending friend. Someone to be her rock, to hold her hand, and to be their when she needs them. It won't be easy for her to trust another person, but eventually she will.

Unharmed
A protector or body guard. Someone her family could hire to keep her safe. They would probably have to be noble for this.

Battles!
Line up legion, let the brawling begin! You need battles, Shin needs battles. Help me to help you!

Anyone's Guess
Got an idea of your own? Let me know! I'm open to just about anything, so don't be shy. The crazier, more in-depth or amusing, the better. Lay it on me!

I have a feeling that Shin-Mu and Nilgün would get into a scuffle at some point.

And if not a scuffle, then there would be some definite tension between the two of them.

The girls are a lot alike each other in that they are both haughty and think themselves better than other people.

You also mentioned that Shin-Mu doesn't like getting dirty? I could see her hanging out at the Oishiburo Bathhouse a lot (which is a frequent hangout of Nil's).

Perhaps the two girls encounter each other there?

Hyuu...~ That's all I have for now. |D; Lemme know if you come up with any other, more epic plots.

Shy~
But shin doesn't have parties. D=
She's pretty antisocial, to an extent.

Bee, how about if Kotone encounters Shin stargazing in the evening and asks to accompany her in stargazing for a while? They can chat some and learn each others' allegiance? Maybe they can become rivals? Kotone can challenge her to a battle. She'll express her reasoning that they're both working on becoming stronger to stand up for what they believe in so why not, since the battle can accomplish this for the both of them. Kotone is weird and reckless like this. x33

Okie dokie, Bee. <3 8D

I'll let you know when I have the thread up. ^^

!owo Waa, that's admirable. I fail at texting and other phone features aside from just making calls. x3;;

Please work comfortably. <3 8D I'm also getting ready for my last final exam tomorrow. x3
