Type: Original
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Female

Crushes: None at the moment
Face Claim: Mei Tachibana from Sukitte Ii na yo
Appearance:Minori isn’t the girl to be spotted straight on in a crowd, she’ll defiantly be the first to tell you that she isn’t all that pretty in looks. Minori stands at five feet and four inches; defiantly on the short side in her case. Not that she minds but her mother always tries to glue heels on her feet. Her brown hair reaches a bit past her shoulders and is always straightened making her give off a bland expression. The only thing that somewhat stands out on the girl are her large brown eyes that always has a calm and composed expression. Minori doesn’t pile herself with loads of make-up seeing that when she was smaller her skin broke out thanks to her stealing some of her mother’s face powder, after that the girl has never touched anything that has to do with make-up. Right off the bat if you had to point her out in a crowed it would be rather difficult since she just blends far too well in crowds.
Outside of school many would think that she’s the girl to throw on a sweatshirt and call it a day. But the Minori is a girl at heart and she loves fashion. She doesn’t layer herself in clothing but she is the type of teen that still wears frilly tops and a skirt. Minori will have her moments where she can’t help but to slip on some sweats and when it comes to sitting in the sun she will cover up with no hesitation; she gets self-conscious when it comes to exposing her body too much. Least to say you would never think Minori would be into the high fashion sort of thing which is why it throws most people off when they run into her outside of school.
Personality:
Minori’s personality is a strange one. She isn’t the type to burst into the room and shout at the top of her lungs. Nor is she the one that’s always hanging out with “the popular kids”, or constantly in the shadows. Perhaps it’s the fact that she isn’t good at introducing herself but from what others see, many think that she’s just the type that stays locked up in her room all day and doesn’t see the light of day but for the people that do know her can say that she can be social and say her reaction to things are priceless and "cute". When you first meet Minori you can tell right away that she’s a selfless person. She’s constantly on the look out to see if anyone needs anything especially when it comes to her little sister and brother. She’ll even do a favor in a blink of an eye if you offer her something in return but even so, she would still do that task. It’s a downfall since she’s barely experiences others focusing on her needs. If there’s something that Minori is good at its worrying, when there’s someone she cares about and their not making the best choices she may voice her opinion every so often but not enough to get in that persons way. She just doesn’t want anyone to regret anything later on if things don’t go well.
When it comes to people criticizing her she takes it personally even if it doesn’t look like it. But behind closed doors she gets pretty offended if someone talks negatively about her. It may be foolish but Minori spends most of her time helping others and working hard on her personal needs and when she gets criticized about it she can’t help but to be hurt. You can say that she is sensitive but with parents that constantly bicker at you every single day Minori can’t help but to be pressured and feel a bit disappointed if someone disapproves what she does. Despite her feelings Minori doesn’t talk much about her life outside of school she enjoys others not knowing what she’s really going through making her very reserved about things. The seventeen year old may slip up and say something but in the end she lies her butt off and says that she didn’t speak of anything about her personal life. You’ll probably hear about her obsession with photography and her constant concern about her siblings but nothing beyond that unless you have a close bond with her.
When others get to know Minori on a more reasonable level instead of seeing her in school you’ll find that she’s friendly and easygoing not to mention hilariously gullible. When she thinks no one notices her you might catch her mouthing words to a song while dancing only to trip and try her best to cover it up before anyone notices. She isn’t the one to ask for much help but if you do get a chance to see if she’s troubled you will have her thanks in the long run, she remembers others that help her and will have their back when they least expect it. Minori goes with the flow of things agreeing with whatever someone suggests even if she does have to think about it. Minori just needs that person to push her in front of a crowd and let her know that it is okay to be yourself around others. If you’re able to crack through that shell you’ll see that Minori is fond of company and enjoys making a few friend from time to time hoping that she can build strong bonds while living her last days of high school.
History:No one said that being raised in a first class family was ever easy. Especially when you have two parents that have ridiculously high standards and want nothing but the best. Being the oldest and having parents always criticize you of your work things are bound to be twisted. Minori was always taught to put your best and only foot forward whether it’s being top ranked in class or drawing a picture. Perfection, perfection, perfection was always what Minori herd from her parents lips. You can’t blame them when one is a renowned doctor and the other an international resort owner it’s easy to say that hard work runs in the family.
Sadly for Minori nothing seems to please her parents. No matter how hard she works to impress her parents everything just back fires, they always complain at how she can do so much better. With their bickering they make it seem like Minori can’t do anything but in reality she works until she’s exhausted. When she was smaller it seemed like anything she did impressed them and put a smile on their face. As time went by their standards went up and her confidence went down. Not saying that she was depressed but was tired of no matter what she did Minori could never put that same smile on their face. You could say that she lost some hope but even now she tries her best in almost everything.
Before attending to Ouran she in fact went to St. Lobelia Academy and was the top in her class. Never once did she get a bad mark and she was always the one to help around school whether it was helping others study or preparing for school events. She stood out with her photography skills and everything seemed to go well with her life; at least that’s what others thought. Her parents on the other had been disappointed saying that she had much more potential and didn’t need to take silly little pictures. So they took her out of the beloved St. Lobelia Academy and enrolled her in Ouran. It was quite a change for her; the once easygoing teen now had to start all over in making friends. Sure she makes high ranks in her class but social wise there was a huge gap.
Minori has grown to take her parents complaints but now have a little sister and brother she’s felt as if it’s her duty as a older sister to make sure that they don’t have to go through what she did. She’s already a disappointment to her mother and father and she surely doesn’t want the same to happen to her siblings. Oh the irony, but it’s not as if she puts pressure on them Minori simply has an eye out for them constantly and won’t wait for them to mess up and if they do she puts the blame on herself just so they don’t have to live a life of stress.

Sample RP:Minori pulled back her short brown hair taking a deep breath, it was a bit shaky but who could blame her. It was the early afternoon and Minori was just about done with gym. She had just gotten done with jumping hurdles and guessed that it was time to head back inside and take a quick shower before calling it a day. Today was a calming day just like any other one she didn’t have to complain about anything. That was a lie. Minori sat down on the lavish grass currently looking up at the sky. She was clearly not paying attention to what was going on instead she was in a deep thought, her gaze went to her ankle as her fingers brushed across it with a small frown on her light pink lips.
She wasn’t sitting there to enjoy the birds sing and the wind blow in her hair but mostly because she pulled a muscle in her ankle and couldn’t exactly get up. It was troublesome and Minori already felt embarrassed at the moment. Unlike any other girl that would call out to get help Minori just sat there with a calm expression hiding the fact that she was freaking out on the inside. ”I should really get some help. her voice was soft and there wasn’t any tone of worry or panic. Minori wasn’t the one to constantly ask for help but at this moment she didn’t have any other choice But still, she was too stubborn to ask for a student to help her out. She just hoped that if she just sat around for a while and didn’t put any weight on her ankle she could get up and go inside in no time. But those chances were slim.
Shifting her weight she decided to try and stand up since she wasn’t the one for patients, only to fall flat on her butt with a pitiful whimper. It was no use; the only way she could go inside was if someone helped her. But still, the teen didn’t call out for help it was her own fault anyway. She had been sprinting and jumping hurdles without a break and it was about time she learned her lesson. Pulling her knee to her chest she leaned her body on it feeling a lot more comfortable, her bangs brushed across her eyes causing her to blink and wrinkle her nose as she brushed the strands that fell over her eyes; she needed a haircut. Minori felt ridiculous, trying to pull everything off acting as if she wanted to come outside and stare at the cloudy sky. Lucky for her no one noticed her little stunt; or at least that’s what she thought. Two runners passed b her raising a brow causing Minori to look off as her cheeks turned red. She covered her face for a moment before recovering and keeping her calm expression. ”I feel like an idiot. Stupid ankle.” she said puffing out her cheeks as she squeezed her ankle hoping it would stop the pounding.
