PLAYER: Kyrie
CHARACTER: Okita Souji
CANON: Fate/

AU NAME: Sakura Fujiwara
AU AGE: 20
AU OCCUPATION: Cosplayer and Part Time Shop Girl
BLURB:
- Sakura's family moved to Recolle from Japan when she was young.
- She's a hale and healthy girl who doesn't really have a head for education but she's a nerd, so the moment she finished high school she went straight into jobs to fund her cosplay hobby.
- She loves cosplaying and has a... weird sense of fashion.
- Sakura is very goofy and amiable, but will try to hide it with a facade of looking cool. Her preferred characters to cosplay are often those with swords and she has a great following on social media.
- Kinda wandering about a little aimlessly through life so looking for someone to give her a bit of direction.
LOOKING FOR: Family, friends, other nerds. Other Japanese immigrants. Someone who tries to convince her to go to college. A shop to work at.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I have no real enable mes other than Megumin from Konosuba.

/offers this closet nerd? Well, she has some interests that can be seen as nerdy.

Sakura's an upstanding girl and won't mooch off her rich friend... too much...

Well, Émi does has a generous streak...

nobu has been in recolle for three years

i want them to have been friends ("""friends""") almost the entirety of those three years

maybe okita was the first person she met after she moved here and initially the helpful okita-san was all enthusiastic about this new friend and then

slowly realised "oh wait, she's bad"

as they quickly moved towards their canon relationship

"i give a shit about you but id rather not admit it"

And then it turns out they're actually married... gg

I WAS DIRECTED THIS WAY so here i am...! i play one of souji's... swords... lord, but if you wanna get some cr between them, i'd be super down for that. he also works at a cute cafe if you want her dragged into the barista life, and he majors in fashion and design so maybe he's worked with her on cos projects before!

HELLO YES, Okita is here for her swords. I'm cool with either option, I'll see what kind of shenanigans I can come up with her current job but I'm sure sometime she tried being a barista. Plus she needs someone to help with her cos projects, so that's always welcome. What a good Kiyomitsu is.

he does his best!! sometimes. mostly.. sometimes it's just his questionable best, but it's fine, it all works out in the end.

that'd be super cute though! he's already helped some cosplayers around the city, so maybe she could catch wind through the grapevine and that's how they could have met?

(no subject)

Well, Shinn here's a closet mecha nerd, and well, also a Japanese immigrant. For all we know he could've been following her due to her cosplaying thing as well.

She won't do mecha ;_; she can't move in that suit... but she'll definitely dress like a pilot lol. I'm good on all of those fronts, they probably went to school together or something and ~~bonded~~

Oh man nerdy high school friends, she could've been his nerd senpai that introduced him into the wonderful world of anime. Except he fell even further down the mecha hell than intended compared to Okita's probably general fandom.

But yeah lol, it's definitely pilot cosplay since mecha cosplay is hell on it's own.

Also he probably could've just made props for her too because gotta be accurate huff puff!!

sits

no okay jk HELLO I AM PIXI I play okita's other sword in tkrb!verse ~~because screw you kiku-ichimonji!!!!~~ so clearly these nerds need to be friends ohoho

laksdlaksd YES. Does Yasusada wanna be the responsible sword who tries and get Okita not to waste her life on nerd shit?

>yasusada
>responsible

LMAO

...I mean sure if you want him to follow her around and say she should totally abandon cosplay for kendo CLEARLY A MUCH MORE VIABLE CAREER CHOICE

Kyrie I want CR, Tuuri is a regular at wherever it is Sakura ends up working please

Wow random icon was not kind to me, tries again for something more friendly

Tuuri-chan... Okita will try and make you fashionable!!*

* Her idea of fashionable is a train wreck think Jojo meets traditional JP design...

HELLO HI here's the other resident Okita Souji, I am 100% ready for the utter confusion that the future would bring to these two nerds

OH GOD... Yes. This is going to be absolutely great. Okita knows that she's a legend and a hero etc but she's gonna be like "Am I really that pretty...?" when she gets some regains and sees Souji.

I've got a trajectory for Sakura in that she's not got TB or any ailments when she comes in, and as she regains her memories she'll regain her ill health which is somewhat compensated by her as a Servant... which is going to be fun.

HI KYRIE this is yana! so yuuko is nobu's bff

also i want yuuko to get into cosplay

so i think we can work something out here?? i guess yuuko and sakura would have hung out... but depending on how close she is to nobu, i don't think she'd like her very much at first LMAO

Yuuko is totally free to call Okita an attention whore because she's #instafamous or whatever lol, and Okita would be like (ಠ⌣ಠ)

I think we can work something out... definitely. I'm sure Nobu can bridge the gap and then we can have Race Queen Yuuko -- I mean. >_>

yes good on all points, including Race Queen Yuuko

actually yuuko's modelling for kashuu, so i'm thinking... what if she tries to become okita's rival?? she has her clothes made by pros and models them. then okita can shit on her for not being a Real Cosplayer

Kouran is technically a Japanese immigrant, and has accidentally fallen into cosplay via experimenting with lolita and taisho roman fashion on the weekends, so she might have seen Sakura on social media and go "wow this looks so cool..."

That said she's, also a loser who probably doesn't realise she accidentally a cosplay, please educate her Sakura.
