CHARACTER Name: Shiraishi Yukari ("Yukari~n" to her friends) Journal:kabutoneechan Appearance: Yukari has grown up since she was 13, now turning 19 this summer. She still rocks her signature pigtails for her curly hair. She is very athletic and physically strong. She does not paint the perfect slender Japanese girl figure due to her strong legs and arms.
Personality: Yukari is cheerful and optimistic but has a sardonic sense of humor. She is always polite, but also extremely familiar, with her senpai from Shitenhouji. She is close with her brother, "Ku-chan," and thinks he's a giant dork no matter how cool other people might think he is.
She likes to look cute no matter what she is doing and won't buy anything other than name-brand athletic clothing. She has a sponsorship from Wilson for her tennis gear which helps keep that cost down, otherwise she would be eating instant noodles every night.
She enjoys baking, specifically trying to perfect the art of baking cake. She is the sort to give homemade chocolates to every boy she knows on Valentine's Day just because she spent so many hours trying to get the perfect recipe that she has a lot of "failures" (which are all delicious, just don't match her standard of perfection).
Outside of baking and tennis, Yukari is game for anything at all that gets her outside and active... and she'll always look cute doing it.
Biography: Yukari attended Shitenhouji for both junior high and high school and was the star of the girls' tennis team. As a first year in university, she made the cut for Toudai's tennis team in women's singles, but has yet to find the perfect mixed doubles partner (she's taking applications, guys!) She gave consideration to going pro, but the odds of making it pro are astronomically stacked against the player, particularly when Serena just won't retire and keeps winning Grand Slams.
She has just recently moved in to Basil Gardens at the start of this school year. She is studying Pharmaceuticals at Toudai and is generally a good student, just a somewhat distracted one.
RP Samples: You are a grown-ass woman, Yukari reminded herself, her hand hesitating over the stuffed Stitch. Her brother won it for her at Round 1 when they were kids - it wasn't a particularly high-quality plush toy, none of the UFO catchers ever were, but she had dragged it around for years and it had more sentimental value than anything else.
She took one last look around her room, already second guessing her decision that she had made after hundreds of hours of studying to make the cut for the competitive Pharmaceuticals program, thousands of hours on court, blood, sweat, and tears to make the Toudai tennis team, an interview and essay to be accepted... yet here she was, in the last hour, second guessing herself.
Her fingers tightened on the Stitch and she shoved the plush into her tennis bag. If her roommate asked about it, she could just say that she brought it to give it to her brother who can't sleep without a stuffed animal, or something.
