[ *  *  *  *  * ]
Name: Reika Ishida
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Grade: 12
School: Bayview Secondary School
Hobbies and Interests: Music, Piano, Music theory.

Appearance: Reika is very short, short enough to be legally classified has being a dwarf. She stands at 4'9", one inch below the legal classification. She has a rather pale complexion, being that she doesn't go outside much. She is of Japanese heritage, and has black hair cut into a bob cut. Reika is fairly skinny, about 95 lbs. although she still has a good portion of baby fat, especially around her stomach and face. She wears pink framed glasses, although she can see well enough without them. Her nails are very short, due to her habit of chewing on them. Reika has a small "beauty mark" on the right side of her nose. She wears simple clothing, plain t-shirts or long sleeved shirts, and either pants or shorts, depending on the weather, although she has on occasion worn knee-length skirts, again usually of a plain design.

Biography: Reika was born a twin, older by 20 minutes, in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she was born and raised. Her parents had been living there for about 10 years before the sisters Reika and Reiko were born. They were born in an unusual circumstance, being mirror image twins. This is basically a type of identical twin, where everything about the twins is as if looking in a mirror. Reika is often called by her friends and family the "right side twin", in that all of her defining traits are on the right side. She is right handed, all defining features she shares with her sister are on the right side, and in a rather rare, but not unheard of, case with mirror image twins, her heart is on the opposite side of her chest. She has no other siblings.

Reika's childhood was rather uneventful. Despite being twins, Reika and Reiko weren't as close as many thought they would be. As infants, their parents did what any parent would do, and dressed them up identically, but when they were old enough, about 6, they allowed them to choose their own clothing. Reika went for a more simple wardrobe, not wanting to draw much attention to herself. She was also given a chance to choose a recreational activity to do after school. Her family weren't rich, but they had enough to spare. Reika eventually settled on piano lessons, and from then on, she was in love with the world of music.

As she progressed, she seemed to have a natural talent for music. She progressed at a much faster speed than most of the students in her age group, and by the age of 12, she was playing well beyond her peers. She never got tired of playing however, and continued to learn, and by the time she entered high school, she had begun teaching. While her area of expertise was Music, Reika was also very good at math and science as well, and in grade 10 she began peer tutoring the younger students who were struggling in those subjects. She found a great pleasure and satisfaction in teaching, and knew by grade 11 that was the path she would follow into college. She continues teaching piano and peer tutoring into grade 12, and has been accepted into college to get her education degree. She still continues her piano playing, and will occasionally play the odd concert.


Reika is a very empathetic and friendly person. She is able to bring out the best in even the worst people, most of the time. While she hasn't lived a sheltered life, she often comes off as rather innocent when it comes to certain things. She is very friendly and talkative, and has many friends in all different groups, be they nerds, jocks, or whatever. She is more or less the mother of her group of friends, a role she is more than willing to fill. Most of her spare time outside of tutoring is spent with her friends, or at home practicing piano.

Advantages: Reika has no physical advantages, but she is very empathetic. She just seems to have a natural aura about her that draws people in and makes them want to talk to her. Thanks to this, Reika has been able to diffuse many disputes and arguments in the past, many of which could have been potentially violent.
Disadvantages: Reika can perhaps be a bit too trusting, and has led her to being taken advantage of many times in her life. This trust could potentially lead to even worse situations for her down the road.

Hi Rocky! Reika is temporarily DENIED. There are some details I'd like you to add or fix before I approve her for pregame.

To start with, I'd like her to have a defined weight.

I'm also skeptical of this sentence: "in a rather rare, but not unheard of, case with mirror mage twins, all her internal organs are also reversed. Her heart, liver, kidneys, and her other organs are all on the opposite side they should be." To start with, "mage" should be "image". The big thing, though, is the organs. My (admittedly brief) research showed that the phenomenon you describe is very rare, and usually doesn't affect all organs. I'd like you to PM me a citation of this sort of thing be found in humans, since I can't find anything describing exactly what you're talking about.

Reika's bio could also use some more detail in areas. How does she act with people? What does she do in her free time besides tutoring? Does she have any other siblings? How does she get along with her twin?

The big issue, though, is Reika's rape. Quite simply, this detail has to either be removed or be given a lot more thought and detail than it has right now. The entire situation is pretty outlandish and poorly detailed, and really pushes the bounds of realism. The different effect on Reika isn't really explained at all. Right now, the whole subplot feels pretty much tacked on to add drama to Reika, which really isn't needed. Please think very carefully about whether you want to keep this element in her bio, and, if you do, make sure you treat it with the respect and realism it deserves.

Post once you've got Reika edited, and I'll give her another look.

Ok, I fixed most of the stuff you asked. I took the rape out, cause it really wasn't needed.

There was also a reason I left her relationship out with her sister, and this is due to the fact that Reiko is also going to be a character I apply, so I didn't want to give too much away about her in this profile. If you still want me to add something then I shall.
