Background: [Mei grew up in Osaka with two working parents and a younger sister. From a young age, she was sociable and curious about the world around her. When her family moved to Tokyo, Mei attended elementary school and started spending more time at her grandparents' bakery.

In Tokyo, Mei quickly made friends with her sense of humor and natural charm. She easily adapted to her new surroundings, and by the time she reached high school, Mei was ready to assert her independence. As many teenagers do, Mei’s friends became more interested in fashion, and the group gravitated toward the flashy and confident style of the gyaru subculture. To her father’s surprise, Mei embraced the aesthetic wholeheartedly. She was an average student, and though her parents didn’t share her interest in the fashion, they didn’t have much of a problem with it.

Her friend group soon became the popular clique in their class, sticking together until graduation. Despite the outward confidence and attention they garnered, Mei always stayed grounded with her family and her love of baking, something that had been a part of her since childhood.

After high school, Mei decided to pursue her passion for baking and enrolled in a culinary academy in Tokyo. She spent much of her free time working at her grandparents’ bakery, honing her skills. Over time, however, she started to feel disconnected from the gyaru lifestyle, even though she stayed close with some of her friends from that time.

In recent years, Mei has struggled with her romantic life. Her experiences with love have been less than successful, and she often feels that her past as a gyaru makes her less approachable. After several failed attempts at dating, she’s begun to feel a creeping loneliness. Now, Mei has set aside her gyaru identity, hoping to find someone who will truly understand and connect with her.]
