APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY
Appearance:
No one in Japan would mistake the foreign origins of Farrah di Prima. Her height, very fair complexion, wavy blond hair, and striking steel-blue eyes, betel a girl who came from overseas. The girl is very slender with a well-developed bust, giving her model-like proportions that are somewhat wasted on am oddball like herself, who repels people with her quirky behavior often. Her eyes have a sleepy tilt to them, making her look half-entranced in a dream, and her thin eyebrows are typically very seriously set regardless of her happy-go-lucky nature. Her nose is long and narrow, with a slightly pronounced tip. Her cheeks are lightly dimpled, as is her chin with a small cleft. Her mouth is wide and almost always smiling, when her lips are not pursed to release bubbles via her quirk. Her lips are painted deep scarlet; the make-up at her eyes is equally striking, accenting her long lashes and perhaps overdoing it with dark eye-liner.
Those eyes are typically hidden by dark, peaked sunglasses in a somewhat out of fashion style, which she wears both outdoors and inside. Her hair, shaved close on the right side and long on the left, is typically brushed and neat on top and left, with a ponytail over the left shoulder. The tips of the hair nearest the end of the ponytail become increasingly erratic, like curling tendrils in shape, as they extend down, reaching to her bust. Her ensemble includes a black beatnik beret, off kilter and skewed to one side, with a white miniature plume up top. When not in her UA uniform, her costume as Pop Poet includes a tailored black jacket over matching black slacks. The jacket has intensely peaked, stuffed shoulders, with a series of three belts clasped at the chest, giving her a bit of an 80s pop star look. Black, round-toed shoes with high black stockings underneath clad her feet. She cannot wear gloves, at risk of ruining her musical finger snaps. Finally, her earlobes tend to be adorned with a very discrete set of black stud earrings. In winter, she will bundle up with a scarf or ascot depending on the severity of cold, carrying it over between UA uniform and her hero costume. Altogether, Farrah could look like a very pretty normal girl if she wanted, but her strong preference is to look like a century-out-of-date weirdo beatnik instead.

Personality:
Farrah is an open-minded person and many would say that you have to be a little open-minded yourself to tolerate being around her. On the surface level, Farrah's personality is difficult to discern and seems affected. She is always smiling and just as frequently reciting poetry, snapping her fingers, or dancing, even without music. Every other phrase she speaks is an unknowable bit of metaphor or lingo that she came up with on the spot and, in almost every case, it rhymes. One might think she is an enlightened mind, a goof, or clinically insane from their first impression of her, and for her part, she seems mostly unaffected by whatever conclusion they draw. Sensitivity to jeers and insults has thankfully never been an issue for her, given that criticism of her work tends to come loud and often, though she resents seeing others belittled.
Beneath all the bluster and occasionally pretentious art and ego, Farrah is a person who hates conflict, which is largely why she hopes to join the support class at UA. She values a good mood over anything else, and likes to make other people laugh. When they get annoyed by her antics, she mostly gets confused, but she never gives up trying to win them over... even if she's not the best at figuring out that shutting her mouth could be a good way to start. This persistence of hers is both a blessing and a curse, depending on how you feel about her unique personality. As far as being a hero goes, her forgiving nature and lack of judgment can be a considerable weakness, as even while she jumps to rescue others as support her allies, she has a hard time truly hating even the most villainous of criminals.
In school life, Farrah is gregarious, seeking out the company of others. Although she hates wearing a plain uniform, she abides by it, and accessorizes to stand out. She seemingly loves her classes, her physical activity, other students, teachers, homework, exams, and maddeningly, any other aspect of school you'd care to name. At the same time, she wouldn't seem overly concerned when she receives a failing grade for writing answers that only make sense to her, which will likely be a source of frustration for her teachers. Among her peers, she can be counted on to raise her hand to volunteer for a task no one else wants to do. However, she can also be counted on to stick her nose into any gathering of students, whether they want her there or not. She can be a good friend for being there when others need her and cheering people up, but a lousy one for only offering an air of levity when they need a somber one, or worse, simply want to be alone. One might think she'd tend to get lonely or jealous if people ignore her, but instead, she seems perfectly content to talk to herself if there is no other audience around.
Farrah wants to get to know everyone among heroes and vigilantes alike. Vigilantes need not worry about her reporting them; villains barely even need to worry about her punishing them, all because of her inability to hold a grudge. It would take some sort of formative experience for her to see the call of action there. As far as relationships at school, Farrah considers herself friends with everyone, even if she isn't. She's been in love before at her old school and dated, but she's never held on to one until meeting her UA girlfriend, Angel, as inevitably being around her that much is enough to drive the other person up the wall. She's amazingly open to anything: boys, girls, alternative genders, and even mutants who have their own name for their gender. The girl considers herself a romantic, even though one of her smiles looks very much like another, and her love poetry contains the same confusing messages she'd use at any other time.
As far as worries, one might wonder if Farrah ever had one, beyond some mildly rebellious behavior about what she has to wear. Somewhere deep, deep down, there is a part of Farrah that fears growing up, graduating, leaving school, and adopting the everyday challenges that adults face, where she will be forced to be responsible for herself and others. She likes to downplay this aspect of being a hero and treat every mission as though it will be a success. There is a part of her that regrets making things hard for her mother, whose suffering due to her behavior is a little harder to ignore than others, and perhaps even resents the coldness of her father. Wherever these feelings are, they're buried deep, and it'd take something big to dig them out of her.

HISTORY
Born and raised overseas in America, Farrah was born the daughter of the famous semi-retired writer, Julianne (or Julie to most) di Prima. At the age of 16, Farrah is the oldest daughter of three, the others being Sara (12) and Diana (10). Her father, a man named Sean Offerman, left Julie while they still lived together in America, shortly after the birth of the third child. One could speculate on the complicated web of romance and mistresses that led to this, but Farrah knows or cares little of it. Farrah has never held a grudge against him for all of it, nor questioned why, which Julianne has always been concerned about.
On that note, there is much of Farrah's behavior that has concerned Julianne for the longest time. In the early days, it was obvious that Farrah was a little different, or developmentally challenged, even. She failed to respond to many types of teaching and while she had no trouble attempting to make friends, it was obvious that her strange behavior alienated most children her age. While other students were playing ball, Farrah was reciting her confusing brand of poetry to anyone who would listen, even if that meant talking to herself. Julianne herself has had a difficult time communicating with her daughter as a mother would to a child, as even she is not exempt from Farrah's random poetry slams and spasms of sing-song. She longs for a time when Farrah will open up to her, assuming there is much that her daughter wants to say, but that Farrah may be using her behavior as a way to cover up, carried over from a child. Whether Farrah is or isn't, even she doesn't know.
Farrah has always accepted her quirk, which specialists noted early on was more fitting for a role outside of the hero business, due to its lack of offensive applications. Brushing those notions aside, Farrah herself was taken with the hero's lifestyle, as they do much to improve the public's mood, ensuring people's safety and ideally bringing smiles to their faces. With surprising conviction, she begged her mom to take her to Japan, where she could attend one of the biggest new schools for aspiring heroes to master their quirks and ultimately achieve a full hero's rank. As Julie struggled to raise Farrah, not to mention Sara and Diana, who had, to a lesser extent, adopted some of their older sisters' habits, she agreed to the request, and the family pulled up roots to head to the nation of Japan.
As a transfer student, Farrah enters in with a heart full of hope and zero trepidation, as unshakably optimistic as ever that friends are just around the corner, as well as all the artistic inspiration she could hope for. Even in the face of Japan's growing problems: bubbling anti-quirk sentiment, a few troubled stories regarding UA's development, and the dangers that heroes routinely face against increasingly crafty villains and opponents, she seems convinced that she and the rest of UA's students will be the ones to make the difference. She expects sentiments to improve, students to become their best selves, and perhaps most farfetched, villains to reform once they see the wrong of their ways. Only time can tell whether her upbeat behavior can help lighten the loads of the students around her and the people of Japan, or whether it will just become another burden for deal with.
