Name: Yuki Hayashibara Gender: Female Age: 17 Grade: 12th School: George Hunter High School Hobbies and Interests: Reading, studying, tutoring, video games, writing, board games (particularly Dungeons & Dragons and chess), fantasy Appearance: Yuki stands at a petite 5’2” and weighs 125 lbs. She has a skinny body frame, with good posture, small hips, and small shoulders. Her almond shaped eyes are dark brown and her black hair reaches down to the nape of her neck, styled in a bob cut by her sister Yuka. Other facial features adorning her round face include a small, round nose, thin eyebrows, and thin lips. Her skin is pale brown due to her time spent indoors. Yuki’s attire includes t-shirts of pastel colors and collared shirts such as button up flannels and polos for any season, jeans and khakis for cooler weather, and skirts for warmer weather. She keeps dresses for formal occasions. For footwear, she wears a pair of white slip on Vans shoes. Biography: Kengo Hayashibara met his wife Emi at University of Tokyo, where they were both business majors. After they graduated, they married two years later. They were employed as business managers for the Tokyo building. Due to a job transfer, they had to move to the United States. They relocated to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where they continue to manage the town's Capital Toyota. On June 3, 2000, Emi gave birth to three baby girls. Yuki was born thirty minutes after her sister Yuko, and thirty minutes before her sister Yuka, technically making her the middle child of the family. Growing up, Yuki was rather quiet and shy. She would usually play by herself on the playground and would hardly interact with other children, feeling overwhelmed by all the activity. She would often keep close to her sisters and interact with others through them, but she didn’t really get to know anyone. Her parents grew worrisome over this, so they arranged play dates for her. It seemed to work, as Yuki did not feel as overwhelmed and could interact with her playmate more easily. With the help of her more outgoing sisters, Yuki made more attempts to interact with others in a social setting. Yuko would let Yuki play with her and other kids on the playground. She even brought Yuki along for jogging sessions now and then. Yuka advised Yuki to find kids with similar interests to her. Nowadays, while she is more comfortable in a social setting, she prefers to keep to herself, although she doesn’t ignore opportunities to interact with others. While Yuko found interest in sports and Yuka in fashion, Yuki found solace in the world of reading. Yuki had always enjoyed reading since she was young. She started off reading storybooks her mother read to her at bedtime, then began reading chapter books in elementary school. Her favorite genres to read are fantasy, science fiction, and horror. She would always ask her mother to take her to the library on the weekends, and she would look through the shelves for any books that caught her interest. Some of her favorite books to read include The Hobbit, Eragon, Harry Potter, and works from Stephen King, such as Carrie and The Shining. Yuki’s favorite types of games to play are board games. When she and her sisters were younger, her father would have family game nights and bring out whatever board games they decided on. She loved playing board games that challenged her intellect like chess and Scrabble. She also played games like Monopoly, Life, and Clue with her family. During her middle school years, her interest in fantasy stories introduced her to tabletop games, most natably Dungeons & Dragons. She enjoyed the fantasy elements and aesthetic, as well as the creative freedom in imagining characters and scenarios. She came up with a wood elf ranger character named Ava Trueshot. She tried to find other students who enjoyed Dungeons & Dragons during her middle school years, but even when she did, she was too shy to ask if she could play with them. Yuki also has an interest in video games. Yuki took an interest in video games during one of her playdates. Though she is more of a casual gamer, Yuki will always be on the lookout for games that catch her interest. Her favorite games to play include role playing games, adventure games, and mystery games. Any game with a focus on story interests her. She does not have a home console, but she does have a couple of handheld systems such as a Nintendo 3DS and an old Gameboy Advance. Some of Yuki’s favorite games include Fire Emblem, Ace Attorney, The Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy. When Yuki got into high school, she decided to look into a career as a writer. Her love of reading inspired many ideas that she would like to express and develop. For these ideas, she has taken inspiration from the books she read throughout her childhood. One of these ideas involve a maiden serenading a dragon. She has decided to use this idea as the basis for her senior project. She has studied story structure and development for said project and hopes to use this knowledge in other projects. She hopes to go to college to take writing classes in order to further her skills. Yuki has been making steps to interact with more people and overcome her shyness. She is not as overwhelmed by all the activity in the hallways as she was as a child, but she does have trouble trying to speak up to others if they are inconveniencing her. Her stance on LGBT individuals also shifted from indifference to supportive when her sister Yuka came out as bisexual during middle school. When she disagrees with someone, she will try to make her argument respectfully. She has also been more active in finding people who share her interest in writing or playing Dungeons & Dragons. She has also joined the chess club in order to interact with other students with an interest in strategy board games. Academically, Yuki does very well, receiving grades ranging from As to Bs. She excels in subjects such math and social studies. Because of her grades, her teachers suggested that she could hold tutoring sessions. Seeing this as an opportunity to interact with other students, Yuki decided to hold tutoring sessions for math and social studies in the library. This way, she can at least establish an introduction with other students. Aside from these sessions, if Yuki ever wants to interact with others, she’ll try to find people with similar interests to her. If not, she can usually be found in the library reading. At home, Yuki is close with her immediate family. She will let Yuka style her hair, most recently into a bob cut. Yuki also helps her sisters out with their homework. She still goes jogging with Yuko and helps her with softball practice by playing catch. Her mother is very supportive of her interest in writing. As a fan of literature herself, Emi will offer some insight and critiques for Yuki’s ideas. Her father also pushes Yuki to do her absolute best in school, often helping her study and practicing for chess club. Advantages: Yuki is very smart. Her time playing role playing games and mystery games has helped her develop team building and strategy skills. Her tutoring sessions could also offer her future allies aside from her sisters. Disadvantages: Yuki does not have a very athletic or strong build. Her thin frame could lead to other taller, stronger students to overpower her. Also, due to her shyness, she could have trouble speaking up for herself. Edited by Ryuki, Jan 28 2018, 04:39 PM.

Well hello there, Ryuki! I'm MK Kilmarnock, and I'll be looking at Ry-... I mean, Yuki, today. Unfortunately, Yuki is denied pending some edits and elaborations but we'll have your middle child up and running in no time at all. Remove the Japanese characters in the name section. I'm impressed you typed it out both ways but it's not necessary, 'Yuki Hayashibar' will do just fine, thanks! "Yuki is a Japanese girl." Factual statement, but I don't like it being on-the-nose as the first part of the appearance section because it is in direct regards to her ethnicity more than her appearance. Yes, saying 'she's Japanese' will give us a vague idea of what we should predict her looking like, but by itself it means nothing. To put this another way, how would you describe a Japanese person's appearance? That's for the appearance section. Her being Japanese goes in the biography just fine. "styled in bob cut by her sister." I think this is supposed to be "styled in a bob cut by her sister." Also, just clarify it's her sister Yuka. "Her other facial feature include" < includes. "Her skin is pale due to her time spent indoors." < This bit and her facial features are actually better places to include the detail about her being Japanese, if you wanted to work things in that way. 'Pale' can run the gamut from many shades, so exceptionally pale for a Celtic person is different from a Mediterranean skin tone's 'pale,' which is different from what a Japanese person might consider 'pale'. She also has a B-cup sized chest. < Heeeeey, somebody included cup size, and I'm probably the only staffer who doesn't immediately condemn this. Here's the thing, though - it's not a standalone detail. It's something that gets mixed in with describing the rest of Yuki's body type, and I'll need more than just 'skinny' (in fact, her height and weight factor out to suggest she's got some more meat on her bones). Does she have a frail appearance or a more athletically toned one? Prominent hips? Sloping shoulders or more pointed ones, with good posture? "Yuki’s attire includes plain t-shirts and collared shirts for any season, jeans and khakis for cooler weather, and skirts for warmer weather. She keeps dresses for formal occasions. For footwear, she wears a pair of white slip on Vans shoes." The hell is a plain t-shirt? Does she favor any particular colors over another? What kind of collared shirts are we talking about? We talking like, business shirts, polos, button-up flannels, or a collared blouse? Now for the biography section. Tokyo University's proper name is actually the University of Tokyo. Yes, it matters. After they graduated, they got married. > Immediately thereafter, on the spot? Or just some short time after they got married? Did they wait a year or so? Were they financially stable enough to have a proper wedding? What did their families think about such a short engagement? Seeking business better opportunities, they moved to the United States, where they continue to support a fledgling business to this day. > What kind of business? Why did they need to have a financially burdening move to the United States when Japan is a wealthy country with a perfectly thriving business sector? And why Tennessee rather than the significantly more lucrative and proximate California, a far more likely candidate for any Japanese immigrant seeking opportunity? The triplets all have very distinct interests. This is fine, but while they should be separate people, they're still siblings and I want to know a little more about possible overlaps in their interests, particularly while they're growing up and developing as people. Classes such as math and social studies do not need to be capitalized. On to advantages and disadvantages: Chess strategy, sadly, does not translate very well to real-life strategy (please pretend like it wasn't in Ivan's profile, I swear I've changed my ways). I do like the development concerning Yuki's teamwork and cooperation skills, however, and you can probably make a connection between her gaming habits (particularly tabletop) and an ability to think on the fly. I just want to see a little more than 'she's good at chess so she's a good strategist'. I want to know HOW her gaming has affected her mind. That SHOULD be everything. When you've fixed it up, post letting me know and I'll take another look! |
