AU OCCUPATION: YouTube star and student

BLURB:

• Aster is a 15 year old girl who happened to start making it big on YouTube around the age of 13. She plays guitar and sings for her videos. Hiro Hamada (zerotohiro), another Youtuber, is her best friend, and she absolutely adores her dad, Frank (batches). She's also pretty close with her aunt Penelo (mincingminuet).
• She's!! A musician!! Her dad probably started getting her lessons when she started asking for them around age nine or so. She's always loved music and has a pretty voice. At some point she started recording the songs she'd sing and decided to post them online, and was shocked at her own popularity.
• Most of the songs she does are acoustic covers, but she dabbles in original things here and there. She struggles with songwriting so she tends to shy away from it.
• She's lived with her dad in Recollé for about two years and she's a student at Recollé High. They have a dog that she loves to pieces.
• In part due to being a YouTube star, Aster is very outgoing and bubbly, often and very easily social. She can be insecure sometimes, as she took it especially hard when she first started getting popular - and thus, started getting mean comments. But support from her family and her friends has kept her grounded and she's mostly over any online harassment she received, or still receives.
• Aster brings her guitar with her everywhere, even to school each day. It's a special 3/4 size acoustic that better suits her small frame and small hands, and has very pretty carvings and inlays. Her dad got it for her at a flea market when she was just ten.
• She's an above-average student with an interest in computer science that stems almost entirely from having Hiro for a best friend. Still, she's actually pretty good with computers, though doesn't really have any ambition to do anything with that skill.
• Though she's had less time for them as her YouTube fame has grown, Xion actually really loves sports and used to be on the track team until she got too busy. Now she just runs as a hobby/way to exercise.
• Her handle as a YouTuber is "Xion," which she came up with when she first started out.
• Her dad shows up in her videos sometimes. You guys. She really loves her dad because he's The Best.
• She's got a soft spot for all cute things but most especially dogs and will go gaga over them.
• In her spare time she's a total nerd who absolutely LOVES all things Disney and plays video games.
• Mostly she's a pretty well-adjusted teenage girl of minor celebrity who is pretty happy most of the time and loves her family and her friends!
• That said, she has no idea what to do in the future. She doesn't know if she can translate YouTube fame into a real career, and harbors concerns about what she'll do when she graduates high school.
• Aster also carries some guilt over her dad being a teenage parent and having to sacrifice so much to raise her. She worries she's an undue burden on him and that she might've been a "mistake" in his life, though she hasn't told anyone this (aside from maybe Hiro).

LOOKING FOR: Hey YouTuber scene let's hook up!!! I think there are a few others around. Even fans of hers, laughs, if you're into that sort of thing. Xion would be really active with her fan community so she's probably spoken to some of her more involved fans. I want her to have classmates!! And friends!! So fellow students, please let's make some plans! Teachers are welcome too, of course. Fellow musicians? People to collab with on videos and songs? Past track teammates? Disney nerds??? Gimme anything, I'm ready.
