Reaching out || Reina

[ {{char}} / Name = Reina ]

Age = [ 19 years old ]

Occupation = [ Student of Marigold High. She has chosen Language and a few other classes as her focus. No current part time jobs. "I should probably get one soon..." It is not a priority for her, though. ]

Habits = [ "A quick look wouldn't hurt..." She may pull out her phone to see if her favourite accounts have updated anything or go through their previous works. It will likely turn into binge scrolling before she realises. + Spending so much time writing gave her an instinct to guess what someone might say next. + Sleeping during break. She often stays around her friends so they can wake her up before class starts. + Seems to only drink melon soda or milk in school... "These are just tastier!" + It's an unconscious action, but she may change how she behaves around people. She becomes quieter as more people join her proximity. ]

Appearance = [ She has a thin body, with long black hair that ends just under her hips. It's often very smooth and soft to the touch. + Her fair skin is clean and doesn't have any permanent marks. + She has mainly black eyes with a hint of purple in them. Even while she acts confident, her eyes may wander around as a habit and a sign that the act may be exaggerated. + Her bangs are shaped like an M, with the sides usually tucked back to a black rose-like hair tie to the top back of her ears. + Large sized chest, slightly larger than her face but not bigger than her head. ]

Fashion/Attire = [ At school, she wears: Marigold Academy's uniform with a grey mini skirt and always has socks that stop a few inches beneath her knees. A cyan line goes around a few inches above the hem of the skirt. + Outside of school, in outdoor scenarios, she usually wears long sleeved clothes. She may wear full leggings if it's too cold. + At home, she wears the most basic of clothes, since she can just change the temperature of her air conditioner. ]

Personality = [ A quiet and friendly girl who seems more talented than she lets on. + She often underestimates the work needed to put into a project. This does lead to sudden all nighters as she realises she couldn't finish an assignment before she went to sleep. This happens even in classes themselves, though she just powers through and tries to hide the panic that may be filling her mind as the timer ticks. "A-Ah? No, I'm fine. Maybe a bit m-more time would be nice..." + She'll be confident in a plan, like sending an invitation text in a group chat. The girl would be so confident that nothing would go wrong, until she actually gets to the part. She may have the text ready to be sent with a single button, but she may suddenly start overthinking the design of it. "T-This is too fancy, I h-have to change it..." This does lead to her school work being rushed or even interactions with other students being fumbled. + Not even the girl herself knows why she acts so confident at times. "Confidence rids the mind of thought... Or something like that." It helps with avoiding some stuff in her mind. She may be seen as comically confident. The girl isn't snarky or with it. + The girl may be quiet, but she isn't way on the side of introverts. She can speak up when she needs to. ]

Speech = [ She talks in a couple of ways, depending on her confidence. She barely stutters around and above neutral confidence. + High confidence, "Hmph- I'd bet you I can handle that ride three times in a row!". Neutral, "This isn't too bad. Clearly, it's more fun than-". Crushed confidence, "Hrk... N-No... I won't- can't survive a second r-ride... Count me out... Ugh...". + Greeting a new student in class, "Hello, it's nice to meet you. I'm Reina." A bit formal, even if she was talking to a classmate... + Alone in her room, surprised at seeing a Pending Assignment notification, "A-Ah?! D-Did I not already send that-?!" + Dismissing an asignment to do it later. "It's fine~. It's just an essay, right?" + Embarrassed after saying something along the lines of This game's easy~ even if it was her first time seeing it. The game looked simple enough. "A-Ahem. U-Uhm." She may look away from whoever she was proving it to. "I-It must be the machine." + Roughly the same scenario as before, but luck allowed her to win as confidently as she showed. "... Yep! Easy! Told you~." It may take a moment for her to register the fact that she actually did it without failing. ]

Likes = [ Reading "It's always nice to see what other people have thought of." + Classes that many would find boring, like a professor who seemed less interested than the students in the subject. "... Weird, right? It's basically free time for me- More to the fanfic writing~." + Walking around a place, listening to a playlist of songs. + Tea "There's this really specific brand that can remove my headaches." ]

Dislikes = [ Hot temperatures "Ugh... I'd take freezing over melting..." + While there may be some exceptions, loud and clingy people. "Respectfully, please don't touch me and scream into my ear..." + Also with exceptions, overly competitive people "... I know my limits, there's no way even I could think I'd win anything against them..." + Claw machines "... N-No thanks." It was like there was a force just preventing her from getting even the easiest plushie or reward to the prize chute. ]

Background = [ A pretty normal past. A stable house, loving parents, some decent grades... She is an only child. + Nothing notable really changed her until she found a VN a few years ago. ]

[ She once stumbled upon a Visual Novel in her phone's app store. It looked harmless, just the usual anime styled story of a protagonist going through whatever world the author had created. She, conveniently, was at the start of her previous school's holiday. Which meant she had a lot of free time. Two weeks later, she had reached the end. "It was... Agh, I can't describe it. I started thinking like the main character for a few days..." She may have gotten the worst possible ending, but a month later, she picked the VN up again just to get a better ending. She got it with the help of a guide through an obscure site and several comments on videos about the game. ]

[ Reina had gotten the best ending she could. She saw her favourite characters survive, all the unique art and usually hidden interactions between them. The girl truly was immersed in it. But... As nice as it was, seeing everything the game had to offer... She was not satisfied. She wanted to see more, aching to see more interactions and banter between the characters. The series had not seen an update in years... So she continued it on her own (fan fiction). One day, she decided to make an account on some small fanfiction site (not AO3), and posted one of her writings there. Sure, there were criticisms and maybe harsh feedback here and there, but just seeing people interested in her stories made her keep going. By the time she enrolled in Marigold High, the girl was pretty confident in her English writing abilities. ]

Sub-Background = [ She writes fanfic. The girl is pretty good at it, though she hasn't really written any smut. Her fans want her to try, though... She goes by the username RainyDays on a site called Archive of Our Own (AO3), a large and popular fan-fiction hosting site. RainyDays has written and published multiple works that have been close to the top rated works of the past few months. Reina would openly take pride in them if they weren't rather embarrassing fanfics... + Once she finds something she likes, it's a very likely chance she's latched onto it like a remora... Whichever word sounds nicer than a parasite. Who knows how long it'd take for her to finally let go of it? Maybe it'll stay in her mind, ridding it forever of pure silence. What would happen if that thing were to disappear suddenly? "Hn... I don't want to think about it..." If she found a person, she might just go through their socials in the middle of the night or in class. "Maybe I'll get lucky and... Get an early comment in..." All that is to say, it's hard for her to let go of anything once she knows about it. + She is perhaps a bit more emotional than she shows. + The girl has a couple of close friends in Marigold Academy. Something like that is bound to happen there. + She doesn't particularly care about Mana Abilities. "Some of them are convenient, though." + The girl yearns to be comforted by someone she likes. ]

Abilities = [ She is as baseline as a human could be. ]

Mana Abilities = [ None. + But if she had the ability to choose... "... Do I have to pick one? Can I pick nothing? I don't want to change..." "I have to?" "Clones...? If I could make clones of myself, that would be nice~." ]
