Name: Tochi Shimotsuki
Nicknames: To-To (nickname her older sister’s friend gave her. tochi hates it, thanks); Tochime (‘idol nickname’ for when she makes it big (eg., Emitsun, Soramaru, Suwawa, etc) )
Age: 14
Birthday: February 13th. Why couldn’t she have been born a day later, she laments.
Sign: Aquarius
Gemstone: Amethyst
Blood Type: B
Fav. Food: decorate it with enough stars/cosmic themes, and she’ll probably at least either try it once, or take a ton of photos of it for her blog
Hated Food: one time she tried some green tea mochi ice cream macarons and didn’t really like them, so probably that
School: n/a, private school (sadly not the idol boarding school dream though)
Hobbies: team b oshi -- Idols are a big part of Tochi’s world, both real and fictional to the point of more than borderline obsession, according to certain people. She lives and breathes idols, and would probably die for them, too. She has the calls and responses as well as the concert calls and chants memorized, even if it usually just ends up being her doing them at home and by herself. Tochi especially dreams of one day becoming a genuine Real Live Idol, impossible as it is, though she does belong to a group that does covers of idol songs on youtube and uploads dance covers from time to time as well. A majority of the money she earns (through allowance or otherwise) goes towards idol merch, from kingblades to nesos… to collectible photocards, to even replica idol costumes for cosplay, since she can't sew worth beans. Tochi also runs an online blog in which aside from reblogging general aesthetic things, she reblogs translations of twitter/G+/LINE entries from her best girls.
Sadly, Tochi thus far has had to admire her favorite idols from afar- her parents draw the line at allowing her to fly to Japan on her own to attend a live concert.
idol costumes -- Tochi and her older sister both inherited their mother’s talent for art, but while Morie (her sister) is skilled in still life and landscape painting, Tochi’s talents seem to lie in fashion design… which she puts towards doodling idol costumes (of course). She can’t really sew, unfortunately, but she’s been trying to learn. After all, an idol who also make her own outfits? That’s got to up her chances at getting noticed.
connect the stars -- Tochi’s other major interest aside from idols is the study of the stars and other celestial objects, something she shares in common with her older sister; unlike her sister, however, Tochi does not pursue it as seriously, interested more in the astrology side of things rather than astronomy. It's true that the parts of her room that aren't dedicated to idols are covered in star maps and astrology charts, and it's also true that she owns an assortment of books on the subject and has a telescope that she takes out for stargazing; Tochi, however is more interested in the zodiac and the horoscope, and what they mean. Largely overall, her interest is more for fun than any kind of serious study, often becoming a big source of frustration for her sister, who wishes she'd pursue more serious subjects that aren't idols.
Virtues: aim for center! (energetic) -- By nature, Tochi is a fairly bubbly person, cheerful and a bundle of energy, always ready to go at a moment’s notice. In her eyes, being an idol requires both a lot of stamina, as well as an upbeat personality, and it just so happens she has
plenty of both, making her the perfect idol candidate, right?
i believe in you, so START!! (supportive) -- Knowing all too well the struggles of Pursuing A Dream, Tochi does her best to support others on the road to their dreams, encouraging them to 'fight on'. The future you dreamed of is starting now, don't give up! Cross that river, you can do it! ... And other inspirational idol song lyrics.
we'll push our limits until the end (devoted) -- Once Tochi is committed to something (or someone) she is committed. Becoming an idol has been her dream for a long time, and she's determined to follow it through to the end, without allowing anyone to get her down. It could be said that she's chasing an impossible dream, but dreams have to come true someday... right?
Flaws: overly dramatic -- Life is hard when you’re an idol in the making- nobody understands you, let alone your family. For Tochi, whose family, especially her ‘strict’ older sister, does not share in her Real Life Idol dream, this seems to be especially true. The world is just so unfair, and determined to keep her from following her heart, or so she likes to say. She has a bad habit of taking things too personally, and getting upset by it.
gullible -- Tochi is a cheerful and supportive person, but she's also a highly naive one, and prone to falling prey to people's pranks and scams, albeit unintentionally. More than once, she's been too trusting, and gotten herself in trouble, usually (thankfully) just minor cases such as letting someone copy her homework or copy off of her during tests. At the same time, though, there has been at least one or two incidents where she's lost money through getting scammed.
daydream warrior -- Tochi is not the most grounded in reality at times. She's naive and gullible, and tends to live in a fantasy world where being an idol is as simple as it is in fiction. She doesn't particularly enjoy being forced to 'face the facts', in a sense of speaking, about how hard it really is to make it big, and essentially lives in flat out denial.
