Name, Age: Miss Avarice (I'll answer to anything, including 'Miss', 'Ava', and whatever else you'd like). Unlucky 13.

Do you play an instrument? If yes, which one and for how long?: I have played the piano for eight years, violin for six, and flute for four. I recently quit both violin and flute to focus on piano.

Character you apply for: Fuyuumi Shouko.

How often will you be able to role-play?: Minimum once a week, more often at least three to five times a week. I have access to the Internet every day, but I have school and practice to attend to, also.

Character Description (biography, behaviour, relationships...):

I've only watched the anime and I'm up to around the ninth volume of the manga... so forgive me if I get something wrong about her past... ^-^'

"Fuyuumi Shouko is a mouse," an elementary-school classmate of hers declared in bitter August.

Born on a dreary day in early February, Fuyuumi Shouko is an unassuming girl of around sixteen, with pale cyan-green hair. Forced to grow up fast, whether by her extraordinarily wealthy parents or her own self, she tends to act in a mature manner compared to others.

Some might consider her a little dull, but her innate shyness and timidity is underscored by a rich personality that few have uncovered. Fuyuumi is not always the strongest, the smartest, or the prettiest, but she is a hard worker and more aware of what's going on around her than others may think.

Fuyuumi is often perceived as only showing great interest in her clarinet -- her interactions with others and attempts at pulling back the curtain are lackadaisical, at best. However, asides from music-related interests she has taken up poetry, drawing, reading, and some biology. She can often be found in her family's veranda, sketching wildlife or reading a book.

Her introversion allows her to have quite a bit of time to understand herself.

Most teachers regard her with almost maternal affection, and Fuyuumi is struggling to reach beyond her defenseless outer persona.

One might say there is more to her than the eye can see, but Fuyuumi thinks the idea is a lie. She is very unimposing and would like to become something different, something more. Occasionally, she even hates herself for having fears and doubts, but every time she tries to pull herself out of her shell she is immediately whisked back inside, as if a hidden defense mechanism inside her head wills it.

It is better to be nothing, she sometimes thinks. Nothings don't get hurt.

And yet... there is little charm in being a cipher. She would like to become stronger and better, but whether or not she succeeds is yet to be seen.

She is not prone to outbreaks of emotion, instead rationalizing things away in her head and preferring to remain passive and neutral in confrontational circumstances. Her perception of all things is excellent, as she can blend into any background without anyone noticing her. She has a talent for music dictation and good aural abilities.

Easily intimidated, Fuyuumi views people as towering creatures that she must avoid. She's not misanthropic as she is a mortal amongst gods (or so she thinks), and this realization scares her.

She is a first-year clarinet student at Seiso Academy, in the Music Department. She plans on attending a music conservatory in the United States somewhere, perhaps Juilliard or the Curtis Institute of Music. Though she is not one for traveling or visiting new places, her family has put pressure on her to do so, and she would like to please them. Secretly, she might think that it would be a good thing after all, but her feelings on the subject are atypically unfathomable.

Her relationships with other competitors of the concours reflect her attitude -- most know little of her, as she knows little of them.

Hino Kahoko is, first and foremost, a competitor. Fuyuumi was never one for cutthroat competition, though, and their interactions have taken on an almost sisterly tone. Fuyuumi admires and respects Hino, especially after she defends her from some vindictive music school students. She will occasionally go to her for advice.

Tsukimori Len is a personality that instigates both fear and sickening admiration in Fuyuumi. On the subject of Tsukimori, she resents his treatment of Hino, but also greatly admires his violin skills. She is perceptive enough to know that Len is, perhaps, falling for Hino. She accepts this passively, but does not know what she'll do if they ever get together.

Tsuchiura Ryotaro, asides from Hino, is the other general education competitor. Fuyuumi regards him warily, but he seems to be a nice person. She wonders if he, like Len, loves her red-haired friend. A little too boisterous for her tastes, Fuyuumi would much rather read a book than interact with the dual pianist/soccer-player.

Hihara Kazuki makes her smile. He's always funny, a born entertainer (like Mercutio, she thinks sometimes). He bears her no ill will, and neither does she. A fairly good trumpeteer, he is the only brass competitor in the concours, and does his job well. She respects and enjoys his company. Hino is still clueless about his crush on her, but Fuyuumi holds her peace with a quiet smile.

Yunoki Azuma
is one of those people that everyone likes except her. The man with a thousand fangirls, Fuyuumi would rather avoid him than be subject to their raucous screaming. His cold and unaffectionate politeness hint at something sinister beneath, but so far he has been nothing but kind (albeit a little superficially).

Shimizu Keiichi happens to be just as quiet as she, but for different reasons (narcolepsy?). Sometimes, she has taken it upon herself to try a conversation with him, but she's not fond of people who are half-asleep when she's trying to engage them in discussion about interpreting Reger. Even so, there's more peace around him than she get with any of the other concours participants.

Your goals? (what do you plan with your character?)

In the anime and manga, I enjoyed Fuyuumi's presence, but I was always frustrated at her passivity. I'm interested in stretching her outside the box, and at least expanding upon her personality more via interactions with others. I don't mind any pairing, but I'm not sure the character would really be suited to romance. I'm also interested in having her relationships with the canon characters explored.

Short sample RP (~10 lines):

She is the unassuming angel, the martyr for the timid, and perhaps she will inherit the Earth (but probably not).

She stands next to the grand piano and clutches her clarinet in between shaking fingers, Draeseke's Clarinet Sonata running through her head.

How long has it been?
An hour? Two?


She raises the instrument to her lips and feels the comfortable pressure of the reed in her mouth, and begins the piece again, vibrato ringing through the air.

"Fuyuumi-chan?" the door swing-swings open, politely as another classmate presses against the glass and opens the portal into her little universe. "It's time for class."

She smiles and stops, winding her fingers around the clarinet and pulling it apart, placing it gently in its case.

It shuts with a soft click and she opens the door behind her classmate, stepping out into what is infinite and unreachable.
