haine ototmiya | shinshi doumei +

[yanki]

PLAYER: Kiss
CHARACTER: Haine Otomiya
CANON: Shinshi Doumei +


AU NAME: Bethenny "Tomiko" Amano
AU AGE: 16
AU OCCUPATION: High School Student | Convinence store cashier M-F, Cleaning lady Sat & Sun
BLURB:

- the short version is that Beth is the kind of girl who'd fight a pigeon for a french fry on the ground

- She's Japanese but was given a Westernized name by her immigrant, aging parents. Her Japanese name that her family uses is Tomiko and she goes by Beth around friends, in school and everyday life!
- Beth is from a farming family. Their farm isn't commercial, though they do sell organic dairy products, meats and produce in some local grocery stores. They're decently middle class but they live pretty modestly.
- Beth is the oldest of three siblings: two sisters and a brother. Because it's a family farm, Tomiko was tasked with a lot of hard labor, menial chores and farm work.
- If it involves animal health, resource harvesting or chasing down a creature to wrangle it, she's your girl.
- Beth is famous in her family for being the only one who could wrestle Big George, a particularly large and ornery pet pig. She's a pig wrestler.
- Instead of commuting from the farm to school, Beth now has an apartment in the city so she can easily travel to school. Her mother is very protective and worried about her eldest daughter so she often sends her farm care packages.
- Because Beth doesn't want to burden her family as an inconvenience (something she has a complex about) Beth works as much as possible when she's not in school. She works as a convenience store cashier during the week, then freelances as a cleaner on the weekends -- living rooms, parks, whatever someone wants her to do, she'll do it.
- Her income is pretty sparse, a lot of it going to rent and the utmost necessities. Beth isn't afraid to pull food out of the trash (not nasty food, but perfectly good food her convenience store throws away is a waste if you just leave it!!!), pick up stuff from the side of the road. Some people might be more ashamed of impoverished living, but she's proud and frugal!!! She's also a lifehack queen because of this.
- Despite her farm leanings, Beth does have a lot of interest in more sophisticated things. When she feels like she has enough money, Beth splurges on nice clothes or good bathroom stuff.
- One of the reasons for her obsession with paying her own way is because she's not exactly the brightest student. She sometimes thinks it's a waste to spend money on her education since she doesn't learn as well as most people, but she's an optimistic person and has decided that if she can't read and write that great, she'll just work really good hard!
- Her farm upbringing HAS made her pretty athletic, though. She's good at running, basketball, hurdles and can lift pretty heavy objects.
- She's also used to getting up at ass o'clock in the morning, so she gets up at 4 AM and goes running in the wee hours of the morning (and also when she's off on the weekend).
- Beth is a little out there in her personality, attitude and life experiences, and she's actually not one to hide it. If you think she's weird and impulsive and bizarre....okay! Cool! She's very amicable.
- Family is very important to Beth, and she tries to spread that same feeling of love to everyone! Being a sister is great! Her mom is wonderful! She loves her dad! Wow, family!!! Super amazing!!!!
- This may explain why she pampers her pet dog (that she got to take with her, thank goodness) Biscuits and treats her like her own daughter.
- Beth's time online is spent listening to music, looking up DIY stuff and saving pics of clothes she wishes she could buy.
- Finally, Beth likes to keep herself busy because of an anxiety problem she has. When she isn't doing something, she has anxiety flareups about her family, her capabilities, her place in the world -- all kinds of irrational stuff. It's not something she's ever shared with anyone, so it's a problem she sort of deals with on her own.

LOOKING FOR:

- maybe a roommate? rent is cheaper when you're splitting it!
- classmates
- fitness buddies!
- coworkers (or people she'd see regularly at either of her jobs)
- dog lovers (her dog has a certain amount of fame from pictures she posts online, plus she walks her constantly)
- people she can crush on (Beth will go either way and will fall for appearances pretty easily)
- people she can baby and dote on
- mentors of any kind (she visits her family regularly but a "city!mom/dad" would be cute. someone to make sure she's not living off of convenience store sandwiches she pulls out of the garbage after picking the mold off)
- friends in general! anything! anyone!

[tire]

hello high school farm girl i have an upperclassman farm boy who loves dogs, plays sports, and could even be a crush??? winx ouo

[yanki]

A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN they can have conversations about dog paws and birthing cows!! because that's incredibly attractive

[tire]

EIJUN WOULD BE SO GLAD TBH he doesn't have any non city friends so!!!!!! SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS HIS INCESSANT NEED TO WAKE UP AT 5 AM EVERY DAY..........

[botamochi]

TAKUMI IS A DOG LOVER (he likes cats too but) he owns a Pomeranian. he's a little more protective of his dog and seldom posts pictures online, but he shares them with friends...

he often goes to dog parks with doggo so maybe they can be dog friends?! he's also sometimes overbearing and Very Mom.

[yanki]

they can totally be dog park buddies!! he can be overbearing about how she feeds her dog ice cream after every walk and does......incredible stupid things all the time, there are too many examples to think of

if he shows her dog pics though, she'll go absolutely insane (even if the dog is right there, A PICTURE PRESERVES THE MOMENT!!!)

[crudest]

WHAT A SWEET HARDWORKING GIRL???

gosh I have no idea what to offer - this is Baren and he's a model and a troublemaker right, like he definitely gets into mischief a lot and graffitis and races cars frequently, but he'd be very supportive of a good girl doing her best?? like he'd find her wrestling impressive - and he stole a chocobo a few months ago if you want to say that he even could've hired her to take care of him on the days that he couldn't??

or alternatively, I play a sweet idol girl Anastasia (constellates) if you want cute cr with high school friends!! anya is very easy to get along with and would also cheer her on

i'm down for either or both!! i'd love cr with beth she sounds so cute

[yanki]

but can she WRESTLE the chocobo though??? jk, she'd love to take care of his giant bird friend, as well as taking tasteful pictures of him with ridiculous snapchat filters. stealing is bad, but the cute bird makes up for it

ANASTASIA IS ALSO VERY PRETTY THOUGH WOW WOW WOW beth will be very flattered that such a cute girl would cheer her on o/////o

so i guess the answer is ¿porque no los dos?

[crudest]

OH PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR BEING SO LATE ON THIS, PLOT HAPPENS SO MUCH

BUT??? of course she can wrestle the chocobo they can mess around with each other that sounds cute i'm here for it. THANKS FOR HELPING HIM TAKE CARE OF HIS BEAUTIFUL CHOCOBO.....

that's so cute though oh my god;ldfj lAUGHS. YES. ANYA WOULD BE SO SUPPORTIVE!! anya will be a junior this coming year?? do you think they'd be in the same class or know each other from past years or...??

[toushiro]

it's been forever since i read this manga and bless you for playing from it

i can offer toushiro to be a fitness buddy as he also goes for a run at ungodly hours. beth can also dote on him if she wants to even though he's a senior?? but he's 15 so that'd make him younger than her!

[yanki]

(〃´∀｀〃)ε｀●)

excellent, they can have an ass o'clock jogging club at this rate. she'd also be very impressed with how he's so young but also two years above her...please tutor her, she's dumb.....

[lalliho]

eyyy she can be his go-to cashier because she doesn't faff about when he just wants to buy things and go home

and then at 4am she can see him out and about running, sometimes alone -- he'll be alone more often during the school year, since he'll tell prompto to fuck off and sleep like a good kid

[yanki]

every man is entitled to his convenience store privacy, such is the law of beth's register

she'll have a respect for his efforts, but also maybe bother him out of curiosity...there's no such privacy rule on the cold, hard streets

[lalliho]

bless u beth...this is why you are his favorite cashier

BY THEN HE MIGHT MISS SOME BLONDE TALKING TO HIM WHILE HE JOGS so you know... it's maybe fine even without being shown mercy

[buncho]

HI KISS, IT'S CARD

please teach mafuyu life hacks bc she spends all her pocket money on all the unnecessities, aka junk food
mafuyu's going into her junior year of high school, so that might make her a grade above beth? but she also has a dog who she walks around the neighborhood and could have met her that way! she plays basketball and soccer after school so at the very very least, i would love them to be friends \o/


ALTERNATIVELY i also play ryoji from p3 who is looking to rent out a house for the start of the school year, if beth doesn't mind co-ed with people a bit older? other potential roommates so far are Eliot and Tuuri (skald)!

[yanki]

I'M SO GLAD I CAN HAVE MORE CARD CR YAYAYAYAYA

oh no mafuyu, you need to eat more than chips and candy....beth will give her the Good Farm Eats (also yes, hello school, dog and sports senpai)

BETH ALSO WOULDN'T CARE ABOUT CO-ED and that's a great smattering of characters so pencil me in......

[kabloom]

hi!! karkat also works at the convenience store, although he'll be getting a new job shortly? bUT they can still know each other from the story if that works

[yanki]

YES convenience store pals!! she'll be sad to see him go but proud of his new job endeavors, including emoji-filled supportive text messages (ʃƪ ˘ ³˘)♥(˘ ε˘ʃƪ)

[alienates]

emoji texts are my fave..... pls spam away

[sotenbori]

she sounds so cute?? i want cr with her

majima runs a cabaret club (its basically a hostclub lbr) and is a pretty good mentor figure they could even just meet bc he's been going to her store but i also have Mari who is an actual High School Student so they could def know each other at school

omg editing because her username got me interested so i had poke around a bit about her but i guess here's the actually most relevant part: majima's canonically a big shop yakuza boss so they should defs be friends for some of that sweet gang regain opportunities.

[yanki]

EXCELLENT

the fact that he runs a cabaret will be so scandalous and cool to her...proof that she's really a city girl now!

i'm glad there are other gang members she can eventually commiserate with, though i'm pretty sure majima went 100% harder than she did...oh well, he can still be gang-senpai

[meowbel]

People she can baby and dote on, you say?

[yanki]

MABEL would she like someone to give her free food and hugs?

[mercurio]

hey kiss.......it kira

prompto's into fitness! he jogs in the mornings and can be found at the gym most days. plus he also has a dog that he looks after and he loves dogs, he's probably following her on instagram already

also wtf time to teach her some food recipes..

[yanki]

KIRA......long time no see....also sorry I'm so late to this, sobs

i'm so glad beth has so many fitness pals and also doggo friends. but yeah, she does need people that will teach her how to cook...she has good ingredients but putting them together and eating right on her own is a Struggle
