THAT PROBABLY MADE NO SENSE a-and I am willing to take questions and whatnot, but. YES. sob I am so paranoid since so many people love Ushio ;; ♥

Name: Amamiya Ushio NOW WITH THE MORE CORRECT SPELLING.
Age: 16
Birthday: February 27.
Weight: Slender.
Eyes: Blue. . . ish. LOL SHOUJO
Hair: Silvery and very, very silky. More than often wears ribbons in it or does it up prettily.
Blood Type: A.
Medical Info: None of your business :|

Physical traits: Beautiful! Extremely so! Even if her expression is pretty much fixed at ":|" and the occasional ". . . :)"

Also, she's almost always dressed in a very feminine sort of way. . . dresses, skirts, bikinis, YOU GET THE PICTURE.

What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: Pretty much anything goes.

Abilities: Excellent recall of Japanese proverbs and popular quotes. Saying everything she needs to in as little words as possible. Oh, and a nice backhand.

. . . also she's very talented at manipulating men, but she's since dumped all her boyfriends :|d

Notes for the Psychics: Ushio will be. Less than pleased if anyone reads her mind and brings up what they find. She's had her big revelation that other people can be her friends and she doesn't have to have Haine all to herself, but the process takes time and she's not eager to relive the state she was in before.

As for what the psychics would actually find. . . hahaha um let me do an essay about this tomorrow! STAY TUNED.

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Ask first!

Hugging/Kissing/Other non-violent physical contact: Ushio hates kissing and thinks it's disgusting. SHE WILL SMACK YOU. As for hugging/draping/etc. . . . Maora and Haine have earned that privilege, but she'll be leery of anyone else. Especially if she doesn't know them well and/or they're a guy.

Maim/Murder/Death: . . . why would you kill Ushio :(

Cooking: Lives on her own! Can cook just fine.

Character name: Amamiya Usio
Series: Shinshi Doumei Cross
Age: 16
Canon: Welcome to Imperial Academy, an elite school that can brag of its stature, well-bred students, and avid participation in one Big Damn Soap Opera. Like all stories of true love, it starts with a good-hearted stalker, Otomiya Haine, and her attempts to win the heart of her mysterious but oh-so-handsome love interest, the student council president Tōgū Shizumasa. Of course, nothing is ever that simple in shoujo. But through sheer determination and spunk, Haine takes on the torrid love pentagon that is the student council, her own insecurities, and the shadowy entanglements of the past in a genuinely sweet and fun journey brimming with its due share of crack. Madness? This. . . is. . . Shinshi Doumei Cross!

Secretary of the obligatory dysfunctional student council, Haine's close friend, and living embodiment of the :| face, Amamiya Usio is known as "Lady Hydrangea" by her peers for her cool demeanor and chilling beauty. Always straight to the point and unwaveringly blunt despite her feminine appearance, she's as prone to quotation of proverbs or pseudo-poetic snippets of wisdom as she is a flat rejection or biting insult. But her simplicity in speech hides a surprisingly complicated mindset. For a long time she felt that the only person she needed was Haine and sought desperately to have her for herself, pushing everyone else away and dating half the academy in order to gain Haine's attention despite hating men. Only recently has she begun to open up to the rest of the Student Council and show her rare smile. But make no mistake; if less possessive, Usio's no less protective of our energetic heroine. If it's for Haine, Usio will do anyone anything.

Sample Post:

Just as the ripple born of a single raindrop will reach all shores of the great lake, such did rumors of Haine's disappearance with the president spread to the school newspaper. It burned well. As did the other fifty-four copies that arrived at the council office. But a fog cannot be dispelled by a fan, and the paper has no shortage of issues. They won't withdraw their claims without direct evidence; a thorough investigation of the circumstances behind it is required. And as they say, if you want something done well, you must do it yourself. I will be the one to do this—I will show the truth of the student council's involvement overseas. If it's for her, I don't mind if it's difficult. I will not allow them to tarnish her reputation for their own gain. For the sake of Haine's honor, and her pure heart. . . I will prove it beyond a doubt.

An introduction is in order.

Amamiya Usio, secretary of the Imperial Academy Student Council—the president and his bodyguard arrived earlier. My business is to evaluate your organization: the foreign exchange program based in Seefüd, Louisiana. "The Happiest Place on Earth," according to your brochure, and "an experience like none other, bound to leave you dying for more." It continues on, but it's all useless trash. I have seen nothing that would merit such enthusiasm so far. . . acclaim from over nine thousand visitors past and present makes no difference. Numbers alone cannot prove a point. The praise for a hands-on approach to better relations is also undeserved; fondling is not effective communication. Nor will a foreign tongue be better understood underneath a bough of mistletoe. Disgusting. Don't think you could conceal such obvious perversion from me.

Are you so certain that your director's intent is diplomacy? Make no mistake, I know the answer. I've done the research. And the records leave no doubt about it: hundreds of anonymous declarations of intent to join the community at all costs. A sudden flow of paperwork into its network once every month without fail. A review by a secret committee over seventy-two hours. Then the immediate—and significant—transfer of money into a privately owned Russian corporation once their work is done. All behind the backs of the people actually living there. In other words. . . a scam. One that can readily be exposed with the right phone call.

Deny it if you'd like, but the facts won't change. Instead of losing your heads trying to find an excuse, you'd do better to pluck them from the swamp and face the reality of things. The choice is yours. So. . . what will you do?

. . . "brains" is not an answer. Even decomposed, men are only interested in flesh. . . tch.
