STILL THE BEST 1973

Name: Hiro Fukuyama Gender: Female Age: 18 Grade: 12th School: Aurora High School Hobbies and Interests: Writing, Reading, Harry Potter Appearance: If one were to even notice Hiro at all, they'd find a tiny, meek-looking Asian person. It's kind of hard to tell at a glance whether Hiro's a boy or a girl. Standing at 5'0" and weighing only 105 lbs with remarkably pale skin, she looks like someone one could easily break over their knee. Her black hair is cropped very shortly and her face has a very small nose and a soft expression that almost looks like her eyes are closed most of the time. She has a rather skinny build, which she hides with lots of baggy clothing; a dark green long-sleeved shirt with a heavy brown jacket, a black pair of jeans and black and white sneakers. Hiro's posture is terrible, as she can often be found slouching. Biography: Born to Hiroshi and Shiori Fukuyama, Hiro was a miracle child. Her parents already being warned that she probably wouldn't survive, she was born prematurely and spent a good month in intensive care. Being diagnosed with chronic anemia at an early age, her parents ended up extremely protective of her, this close to homeschooling her until some close friends convinced them to not be so stifling and let her go to public school. Unfortunately, Hiro became an easy target for bullies, and combined with the inclination of everybody who met her to treat her like she had a "Handle with care" sticker stamped on her forehead, the already shy and quiet girl soon becoming even more shy and quiet, so quiet that she was hardly even noticed anymore. By the time middle school rolled around that she realized that she was getting sick and tired of being treated like fragile goods, and attempted to turn herself around. She started dressing in more baggy, androgynous clothing to draw attention away from her figure, which unfortunately led to a complex over time that made wearing anything even remotely girly made her very uncomfortable, thinking that it made people pay attention to her fragile stick figure more. Sadly, her attempts at trying to become more outgoing proved to be an uphill battle. When high school rolled around she finally succeeded in making some friends, mostly hanging out in the geeky circle, but she still remains quiet even around them. She started to develop a bit of a stubborn streak around the same time, able to become rather bull-headed if her buttons are pushed in just the right way (usually by insinuating, intentionally or not, that she's too weak and sickly to do something, or by just pushing her around too much) overcoming even her crippling shyness for a brief period of time. She's taken a great interest in writing, starting from her very first writing class. She's written many short stories over time (that she mostly keeps to herself,) either for class assignments, or just personal projects. She's thought a bit about writing professionally, but she hasn't really done much to act on it just yet. She's also a big fan of the Harry Potter series, having read the whole series at least three times and seen all the movies. In fact, the series is what got her interested in reading more regularly in the first place, not really having any specific tastes and just picking up whatever sounds like an interesting read. Hiro hasn't had any interest in joining any kind of club, and her best classes have always been English classes (at least as far as creative writing is concerned,) almost always getting A's, while she does about average in other classes. She tends to have a somewhat awkward relationship with her parents. They still continue to be as overprotective as ever, overreacting to every minor injury or illness. She understands why they act like they do, but that still doesn't mean she likes it. Still, they're pretty accepting of anything she wants to do, so long as she doesn't have to strain herself doing it. Her interesting in writing, of course, was the perfect choice as far as they're concerned. Advantages: Her lack of presence can make her harder to notice. She's also pitiful-looking enough that she might change someone's mind on whether or not they want to hurt her. She can also be very stubborn at times. Disadvantages: Her health conditions give her a severe lack of stamina and a great lack of physical strength. Her stubbornness can also serve to work against her.

Hiya, Llama! Hiro's profile's pretty good, but she is DENIED pending some editing. First off, I'd like to see Hiro have more in the ways of hobbies and interests. Harry Potter basically falls under the same category as reading, and writing is also very similar. I'd like to know at least two other things Hiro likes to do, and to see them integrated into her bio. "asian" should be capitalized as "Asian" This: "If one were to even notice Hiro at all, they'd find a tiny, meek-looking asian...something." is too informal for the objective tone of a profile, and should be rephrased. I'd like a lot more description of Hiro. I'd like to know more of her notable features, her eye color, whether she has any piercings, etc. How short exactly is her hair? I'd also like to know why she dresses in such an androgynous fashion, since it seems to cause her trouble being correctly identified. You should also include the outfit Hiro was wearing on the day of the abduction; while not important for pregame, this is a key detail for the actual game. Where was Hiro born? Has she lived in Seattle her whole life? What were her parents' jobs? I need to know a whole lot more about Hiro's anemia. To what degree has it affected her? How does she cope with it? Why was Hiro bullied? Why was nothing ever done about it? It seems very odd that her parents, as overprotective and worried as they seem, did not step in and either pull her out of school to homeschool (since they clearly had the means to do so) or directly work with the school authorities to see that Hiro got help and protection. The bit about the sticker is too informal for a profile. Why did Hiro choose to hide rather than to take more confidence in her appearance? What did her parents do when this change occurred? Did they ever talk with her about this? Did they consider sending Hiro to a new school and/or getting her some counselling? Why is Hiro so quiet even around people she is comfortable with? I'm confused by Hiro's sudden development of a stubborn streak. Where did this come from? Why did it only manifest so late? Why did she not return to normal dress at this time, given that her current clothing choices basically constitute a concession of weakness? What about writing appeals to Hiro? Why did Harry Potter appeal to her so much? Numerals such as 3 should be spelled, such as "three" Why does Hiro not take more interest in her other classes? Do any of them present particular challenges for her? I'd also like to know a lot more about Hiro now, who she is, what she likes, who her friends are, etc. We only get a very cursory picture of her at the moment, and I'd like to see a lot more detail added. I'm not sure how not having much of a presence would help in most island situations, since there it's more about being seen than being noticed in group interactions. Hiro's health issues need much greater elaboration in her profile if they're going to be a disadvantage. Similarly, I'd like to know how her stubbornness could work both for and against her. Post when you've got Hiro edited, and we'll give her another look. Thanks! |
