Kairi | Kingdom Hearts

[personal profile] princessofheart 2017-10-11 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Kiri
CHARACTER: Kairi
CANON: Kingdom Hearts


AU NAME: Marina Hartmann
AU AGE: 17
AU OCCUPATION: Student
BLURB:
-Marina is adopted, having been living with her grandmother as her only living relative that would take her until she was about four, when her grandmother passed away. Her parents were family friends, and decided to adopt her.

-She's originally from a small beach-side town called Destiny in California, where her dad was the mayor for two terms before deciding to move to Recolle out of the blue in what is probably a mid-life crisis, taking Marina out of school mid-term.

-She just got here in October as a senior in high school, and she's very sore about the whole thing, and hasn't been trying very hard to integrate as a result. She's not been unfriendly to people, but hasn't really tried to make any friends, and has absolutely zero ability to get around town at all.

-Marina's a bit of a trouble maker, always skipping school and getting into shenanigans when she can.

-She tends to hang out with a shady crowd (though not too bad), usually older because it makes her feel cooler, and her favorite thing to do is urban exploration, like breaking into abandoned buildings.

-She really enjoys the adrenaline rush of doing things she isn't supposed to do, as well as things like roller coasters and horror movies, anything that gets her blood pumping.

-Because she hasn't been trying to integrate very well so far, she hasn't really been skipping school or anything lately, mostly because she has nowhere to go if she does. It's been driving her up the wall, because she finds school boring despite doing well in it. She doesn't really like to sit still for very long unless she has her hands occupied with something she enjoys doing.

-She doesn't like to stay at home much either, as her parents don't have a really good marriage and it can be stressful to be around them when they argue all the time.

-To destress and unwind, Marina runs an etsy shop where she sells charms and small knitted and sewn dolls, it's fairly successful. The shop name is "princessthalassa".

-Her other passion is creative writing, and she's won some small competitions for it before. It's also her ideal career, to write in whatever capacity, even if it's just for companies.

-Marina's got Kairi's negative traits ramped up to the next degree. She's reckless and stubborn, and very much the act first, think later type. She tends to hold onto slights against her and simmer on them for a while, rather than being a forgive and forget type like Kairi is. Marina's also much more pessimistic about the world than Kairi, who's an extreme optimist, and has some issues with jealousy.

-Otherwise, she still retains Kairi's playfulness, teasing and sassiness, and she's someone who's cheerful, kindhearted, and an extremely good friend, as well as being courageous, brave, and determined. Definitely still outspoken, too.

LOOKING FOR:
She doesn't really have any friends yet, but you sure can be her classmate or have attempted to befriend her! Once she gets into game, she'll be more willing to actually be friends with people because of the new excitement of the situation. Teachers also welcome (she has probably slept through class or stared in space the whole time more than once), and would be potentially up to discussing the idea of relatives. Future CR planning also welcome!

FOR THE FUTURE, once she's gotten settled in, maybe Minako and Marina could meet through their online shops? Minako has a side blog/website where she sells all her knit stuff!

MARINAAAA

so if marina is going and getting into trouble and breaking into old buildings and whatever, it's possible Cleo would have seen her and tried to stop her before? bc GOTTA JUSTICE, NO BREAKING THE LAW.

Hey you!! I'm playing Ayano from A Dumb Vocaloid Thing and she is a fairly airheaded high school super senior who is constantly falling asleep in class and not doing her homework and just generally being a bad student because she's lazy. She's also really annoying in that she'll aggressively try to befriend whoever is unfortunate enough to be sitting next to her so even if Marina is reticent to make friends Ayano will STRONG ARM HER WAY INTO YOUR LIFE. And I just feel like she and Marina could be good gal friends and she can teach Ayano to do Fun Rebellious Stuff instead of watching tv and eating brownies.








Oh yeah and i play terra from kingdom hearts or whatever not that thats important
He's currently training to be a teacher and works at the Youth Outreach program at the volunteer association so if she's Having Trouble or being a Bad Egg terra has a good bank of solutions to make her situation a little better (also he used to be in a gang so he knows about that stuff)

yo!! i do know a little bit about kagepro, mostly actually just focused around ayano because... ayano.... weh

yes, let these lazy bad students unite and get into shenanigans, but also like, tv and eating brownies is also good sometimes??? you cant burn the candle of shenanigans at both ends

dont try to Outreach her terra, shes fine!!! its all good!!!! >:Cx
kagepuro: Hey. I made this. (19)

[personal profile] kagepuro 2017-10-11 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
It is hard being a sad dead girl
It is so very difficult

Ayano's parents are super great and love her a lot and her house is huge and they're always happy to host Ayano's friends, so maybe Marina can get away from her home sitch by hanging out at Ayano's a lot? : ( The sister she never had??? : (

sorry he's gonna dad the sh*t out of you regardless. It's what he does

uuuggghhh she GUESSES

she is 100% that student that does everything either the night or hours before a papers due and yet still somehow comes out with an A, often having only used sparknotes, and has probably bragged abut it within earshot

More girls with Light influences yeeeeees. I love the name referencing though. Marina Hartmann. Perf.

Really though. Sakura is younger so they don't quite go to the same school but she does have cr with the KH crew here already which I suppose is an in of sorts. But more than that, she knows the rough family life (though in her case it is more dead parents and not shitty marriage situation). Sakura's just too nice to intentionally worry her older brother by playing up or anything. If Marina hangs around town a lot to avoid going home though, they probably bump into one another, or maybe at Sakura's work at the cupcake bakery?

[personal profile] princessofheart 2017-10-11 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
haha, thank you! i was trying to lean into it without being too incredibly on the nose, and i'm pretty happy with the results

i'd love to get cr with sakura! marina would probably think she was super adorable, and it'd of course always be easy with her already having a step in the door. cupcakes are a sirens call and theres no way she wouldnt go there at least once, so that is totally another plausible way for them to meet!

okay but

gestures to the two of them

they're so on the opposite scale of things it'll either end up amazing or awful but it's bound to be delightfully chaotic??

where there is a will, there is always a way

she'd probably find the hacking stuff super fuckin cool, but she'd also try to drag futaba out on adventures which would probably not work out as well with how attached to her computer futaba is, which is less cool

either way, i'm sure they could potentially raise hell

Does Marina like dogs? Because Kiyoshi has a very energetic, big ball of fur (and also two cats but they take themselves for walks, probably), who would try to befriend everyone and at the same time accidentally or purposefully try to make her new friends befriend Kiyoshi as well.

Plus Kiyoshi is going to be working at a tea house, that'll have wagashi and stuff, that I'll be setting up, if she ever wants to go somewhere outside to work on her stuff or writing.

[personal profile] princessofheart 2017-10-15 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think Marina would've ever had any pets before, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't love em. I feel like she'd be a dog person especially, so she'd love a big energetic dog she could romp with! And whoever's attached to the dog she guesses (no, she's pretty friendly, I'm sure they'd get along)

And tea houses are the perfect atmosphere for some writing, for sure.

squenix characters unite

how about getting forced to have a tutor for classes until she "acclimates" (prompto quickly realizing he's better off talking to her about photography or weird fanfic he's found online LMAO)

i mean
hi

hello hello! this sounds like a perfect idea, her parents can have hired him I guess unless he does stuff for the high school?? and i feel like she'd be more likely to actually do the work in the end with them fucking around in the process than if he actually tried to be a Serious Tutor
