PLAYER: Domon
CHARACTER: Asuna Yuuki
CANON: Sword Art Online

AU NAME: Asami Yuuki/Erika Yui(stage name)
AU AGE: 19
AU OCCUPATION: Actress on the hit live action kids show Fae Force Five
BLURB:
> Asuna was born in Japan, where her father was an executive at an electronics firm and her mother was a teacher. They moved to the United States as the result of a promotion when she was four.
> A fateful trip to the mall when she was six led to her mother guiding her into an acting career. She did commercials and guest spots on a few television shows to start her career.
> She landed the role of Jasperlynn Jadewing on the TV show Fae Force Five(imagine Power Rangers with fairies instead of giant robots). The show was an unexpected hit and she's been playing the character for three years now.
> Jasperlynn is the polar opposite of Asuna's normal personality, as she's the bookish, shy member of the team. Asuna tends to be more self assertive. It's one of many reasons she's not crazy about the show.
> She's come to Recollé in part to try and get a stage acting role, to try and become more of a "serious" actress. She's also eager to get away from her controlling parents. So... she's probably also doing some pretty dark work as a form of rebellion.
> She has one more year on her show contract, and even though it's on hiatus she's also expected to make a few personal appearances.
> Secretly, Asuna is a huge gamer and loves creating different characters for the games she plays online. She's actually a huge fan of watching everything Vivarium posts though she's too intimidated to even talk to the guild.
> Asuna has been so focused on her work and building her career that she doesn't have very many close friends, and she's totally on her own when she first arrives in Recollé.
> Having grown up in a wealthy family and having experienced a lot of professional success, she can come off as spoiled and even a little bratty at times. It masks a deep insecurity that people won't like the "real" Asuna.
> She has her own small studio apartment. It's not that great, and Asuna is romanticizing this as "paying her dues".
> Part of her job involved learning stage combat, and that's turned into a love for fencing and martial arts. She'll deny it to the ends of the earth, but you might see her with her face hidden under a hoodie at local pro wrestling matches too.
> There's a rumor that Asuna is dating Ken Kirigaya, one of her costars. It's not true, and it drives her crazy that a lot of fans on social media ship them on screen and off. The fact that her mother likes the idea only makes it more frustrating.
> Asuna loves animals and is a soft touch for rescuing animals, and she probably will get a pet of her own fairly quickly, if she doesn't already have one.
> Asuna has a pretty good singing voice, though she's not all that confident in it and is terrified at the thought of trying out for a musical.
LOOKING FOR:
> Anyone involved with the theater she's acting at. This would probably be her lifeline at first. It doesn't have to be actors, either! Technical crew, theater staff, anyone who might want to give her a hand.
> Gaming buddies, though she'd probably be using a different name and it wouldn't be obvious that she's "the girl from the fairy show" to any of them.
> Neighbors, either in her building or people she runs into throughout the neighborhood.
> Awkward fan interactions would be incredible. The show has a pretty passionate fan base. And yes, there are shipping wars, so this could get as awkward as you like.
> Negative CR could be fun as well. She's a little stuck up and not used to living on her own, so she might rub some people the wrong way.
> Above all else, she needs friends to show her there's more to life than her career. She needs to have some fun!
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:
This is all still very much "draft 0" of her AU, so if you can think of some awkward ideas then I'd love to hear them!
