BASIC INFORMATION

APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY

Appearance:
Chise has Reddish-orange, poofy hair that reaches to about her lower back. It can get tangled easily and she has to take extreme care of it. Her eyes are a mix of both violet and lavender with lighter purple highlights mixed in when the sun is shining on her eyes. Chise's skin is relatively pale just as the average Japanese woman has. Her body is slightly on the chubby side, but she hides this fact up by wearing oversized clothing. She has been working on building some muscle and loosing weight to replace the pudge with muscle and improve her image one step at a time. She is about the average height for a typical Japanese woman. Her breasts are larger than most, this may be due to the foreign side of her DNA with her father being Japanese and her mother being from Ireland. She resembles more of her mother than of her father, getting her red wavy hair and build from her mother.

Personality:
Chise may appear quiet at first but once she gets to know you she's a bright ball of energy. Even if she doesn't know you, she won't hesitate to make a good first impression and make you feel welcome even if it may be out of her comfort zone. Though some may think she's outgoing, Chise considers herself a bit of an introvert, enjoying time with friends but also enjoying her peace and quiet when she is by herself.  She can be a bit clumsy at times and forget to care for herself when she’s busy worrying about others, having to stop and remember to do the most basic of things like eating and making sure she gets enough sleep. She’s book smart but not too keen on street smarts, not quite knowing all there is to life and terminology on the streets. She's a hard worker, taking on many tasks at once and does not quit until are all completed to the best of her ability. She very rarely gets angry and more often than not is seen with a cheery smile on her rosy cheeks. Although she is in her late teens, she acts a bit childish when she is doing things she enjoys such as eating sweets or snuggling with her stuffed animals.

HISTORY

Chise was born into an average Japanese family in a middle-class environment. Being the only child in her household made growing up rather lonely but she would always play with the neighborhood kids. Chise noticed her quirk when she was 7 years old when accidentally made lip contact with her friend after she tripped and fell on top of them. There was a bit of panic at first but soon Chise and her friend found her quirk rather hilarious. Chise’s quirk manifested from her mother’s quirk who shares similarities to her own (the only difference being her mother can pick up any language through lip contact whereas Chise can copy voices through lip contact). As Chise grew up, she found the way of activating her quirk quite embarrassing and refrained from doing it often, unless she trusted the person she was showing. 

She had always been a studious student, doing her best to excel in her studies since her quirk was not that powerful enough to use in combat. She dreamed of one day becoming a hero that worked behind the scenes, like an undercover spy of sorts. All throughout school she pushed herself to be the leader, wanting to guide her classmates in hopes that she could guide herself as well. In grade school she became the president of her class, wanting to devote her time and effort into doing what she could for her fellow classmates. Because of this, Chise did not have much free time as presidential work took up most of it. Some of the students bullied her because of how her quirk was activated, teasing her and calling her rather derogatory names unfit for middle school Not wanting to bring it up to the teachers and cause any more harm upon herself, she let it go in hopes of it getting better. Somedays when she had to stay behind after school, she would watch the sunset from one of the windows in the hallway, looking down at some of the students showing their quirks off to one another. Chise was rather jealous of how the others could openly share their quirks with one another, using them to bond with one another. Chise decided from this point on that her quirk would not matter to her anymore, she was just like someone who was quirkless from the start. She was done with the bullying, she wanted to live a normal, quiet life where no one knew who she was or what her quirk was. Having a fresh start at a new school where she could hide behind a false identity, one who did not possess a quirk.

She had applied to some of the best non-hero schools in the nation, hoping that with her record, was able to go out and start her journey in making a better name for herself. She did not trust that her quirk would take her anywhere far, so she decided to negate applying to any hero schools in fear of running into any students from her class prior. Sadly, most of the schools Chise had applied to declined her application. Devastated at the fact, Chise hid this information from her parents, afraid they would be angry with her for not getting into any of her chosen schools. She didn’t know it was that difficult to get into a non-heroics-based school one would think it would be easier! The guilt and shame she harbored brought her down to a new low, making the girl not want to leave her room or speak to anyone. This way, she could be alone without having to face the ridicule and comments of those around her. Chise’s parents finally confronted her about her behavior saying it was completely unlike her. They considered getting Chise tested and put on some sort of other medication alongside her narcolepsy medication, but the decision never came as Chise broke down and came clean about what was causing her behavior. Chise’s parents were a little shocked to hear that she was upset about this, not thinking she of all people would get upset over not getting into a non-heroics school. Her parents comforted the distraught teen and told her that everything would be ok and that they would support her with whatever she decided to do. They had secretly applied her to Yuuei, another great school but was a hero centered school and came clean to Chise about what they had done behind her back. They did not want Chise to give up on becoming the hero she wished to be all because her quirk wasn’t powerful. When she found out, she laughed at how ridiculous she was acting, she was glad she could get this pain off her chest and be liberated from her this low she had sunken into. Chise is thankful that her parents never gave up on her and has found a new sense of confidence that she could be a hero with the quirk she was given.

Upon arriving at U.A., Chise has gone through several big changes: living on her own, making new friends, learning new things regarding classwork and herself, even getting a boyfriend! She had kept herself busy with being the support studies class president her first year and helping as the vice president of the cooking club. Aside from school related activities, Chise has been training on and off with the top vigilante, G, in order to better herself as a hero. Between training and schoolwork, Chise rarely finds any time to herself but she likes being busy even if her narcolepsy can get in the way sometimes. Who knows just what this next year will have in store for her!
