October Workshop Character Directory

shion sonozaki | higurashi no naku koro ni

[personal profile] promisedyou 2017-10-11 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Len
CHARACTER: Shion Sonozaki
CANON: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

AU NAME: Mio Sonozaki (her first name's written with the kanji of 'love' and 'sound', that's a thing.)
AU AGE: 17
AU OCCUPATION: Student and also the heir of her family's canned meat company!!
BLURB:
I have permission from the Mion player/[personal profile] penalizing for parts of this AU, as a heads up!

☆ Born as Mio Sonozaki, the eldest twin sister in a rather wealthy, Japanese family. While she doesn't have any other siblings, she does have a rather large extended family that comprised of a good majority of the people in their small little town.
☆ The money that they earned was due to the establishment of a canned meat company, which was founded by the twins' grandparents which started as a purely Japanese company, but soon became an international one.
☆ Because of this, Mio was raised as the heiress of the company and learned management and business skills that were necessary for the job. It meant that she would tend to be busy when she wasn't doing things at school or at home. This doesn't mean, however, that she didn't have time to be with others. Her schedule was just slightly tighter than someone who just attended school and went home.
☆ Due to the fact that they were twins, they would sometimes impersonate the other for laughs to confuse family and friends. At the end of the day, however, they would always go back to being who they really were.
☆ As the older twin, she would have to take care of her younger sister sometimes and it's because of this that she dotes on Kotone - who was also a bit of a crybaby when she was younger. Unlike her sister, she was the mature one out of the two of them - she would never cry (at least, until she got older and decided to use crocodile tears more often as herself) unless she was pretending to be her younger sister. And on a general note, she tended to do this when it benefits her and she could get something out of it.
☆ Right before secondary school, her mother was going to become the head of the US branch of the family company, which meant relocating to Recolle. Of course, this was known far in advance, so the family made preparations by brushing up on their English skills which helped them adjust to the move.
☆ Upon arriving to Recolle, Mio was not only put into high school, the amount of training that she would have to do to prepare herself for the job once she was of age as the heir of the Sonozaki family increased quite a bit, to the point where she sometimes became rather busy, although it wasn't to the point where it was overwhelming.
☆ It was easy for her to make friends due to her high standing and personality of hers, although Mio made sure that people that she befriended didn't just like her just because she was the heir - unless it benefited her.
☆ Because of how somewhat taxing the work was, Shion knew that she would have to pass the plate to someone else, which is when she started coming up with a plan to marry someone who would be fitting to lead the company so she wouldn't have to do the hard work herself. It's because of this that she tries to flirt with others who she finds applicable for that sole purpose.
☆ While attending school and learning how the company works in preparation was a lot, that doesn't mean that she's been slacking - even if she does mess around like the mischievous girl that she is - and she is, in fact rather intelligent due to her vast knowledge and studying.
☆ But that doesn't mean that she doesn't think that all of this isn't dull; in fact, she doesn't like the fact that everyone is supposedly 'set in stone' for her. It feels like she's a bird trapped in a cage that wishes to be free to do whatever she wants.
☆ Unlike her sister, who her parents dote on and are investing in her college life, Mio was told that she didn't have to go to college and could instead just start working for the company. But she doesn't want that, so she's been making plans on going to college anyway to see if she can get a different job so that her future husband - or wife, she's not picky and they say beggars can't be choosers - so she can live the life that she wants to, not the one that her parents laid out for her.
☆ But for the time being, she's trying to take it as easy as she possibly can in spite of studies - for both school and as the heiress - as she finishes up her last year of high school as a senior.
☆ She's also a part of the twins club (technically....) although she hasn't been attending because she's busy. Whoops.

LOOKING FOR: Friends, potential ex-boyfriends/people she's hit on, people she can troll, other family heirs because that's fun, friends, people who mix her up with her twin sister, people she can potentially flirt with because she doesn't like being the heir sorry to say... and people she can Big Sister at. But I'm pretty much open tbh, to either positive or negative CR.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm pretty set on this choice, but if anybody really wants to attempt to enable me for anybody else on my muselist feel free?? It definitely won't be this cycle, though, laughs.

Yo Len! Both of mine are in college, so they may not know each other yet... although Kurt does also come from a wealthy family so they could possibly know or know of each other through Rich People Things.

[personal profile] promisedyou 2017-10-11 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
NEW CHARACTER WHO THIS......

She definitely would try to find out who the Rich People are for her own personal reasons because that's how she rolls apparently so I apologize in advance for her

IT IS I, GORE

But yeah sounds good! He also used to be on a tv show, so there's that.

[personal profile] promisedyou 2017-10-11 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
She's probably watched all of the episodes he's in as Research, too so she'll come and bug him about that at some time!

soleil knows kotone has an older sister but isn't aware they're twins

please confuse her

she's already confused when she realized she was hitting on a high schooler. she is going to be even more confused when 'kotone' occasionally acts a little differently

[personal profile] promisedyou 2017-10-11 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Confusing people with her twin status is what she lives for so she'll definitely play along for a while until Soleil figures it out because hoo boy is she not going to tell her herself probably... until Kotone finds out and potentially chews her out, who knows.

[personal profile] sunnymerc 2017-10-11 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
just confuse and humiliate soleil somehow

she is a meathead she'll never figure it out short of seeing both twins in the same place

[personal profile] promisedyou 2017-10-11 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
That's literally Mio's job, so she can definitely work with both, no problem, as the cunning head of the Sonozaki family!
