Why are Teachers so important to SchoolRP?:
(⋆) Teachers are important to SchoolRP because they give the server the wholeness that it needs. Without teachers school would basically be a building with 13 to 18 year olds running around doing practically anything. Yes, while some might find this 'fun' or 'better', Teachers give SRP the reason to actually go to school. They give meaning to it. Without them the school itself would be lifeless and downright boring without any realism. To add onto that I think that the reason teachers are so important is because they genuinely improve the school day. They can host classes where students can go to instead of just running around or causing trouble. To me, they actually, like mentioned, bring meaning to SRP. Without out that teacher and student interaction it would kind of be flat? in a sense. To sum this up, Teachers are important to SRP.

Describe your character:
(⋆) Ayame, at first, is the kind of person people notice without quite knowing why. It's not because she sticks out like a sore thumb, rather it's because there isn't anything dramatic about her. She is small, standing only at 5ft tall with long black hair that goes past her shoulders. She usually keeps it loose out of comfort. She dresses neatly almost intentionally – her outfits are almost always business casual – blouses, cardigans, long pants or skirts that sit at her knee and shoes chosen as much for looking the part but also being comfortable. Nothing about her is messy or unconsidered, yet it isn't her clothing or stature that makes her stand out, but her sense of gentleness, sense of being safe to talk to. Her hands are soft. One of her fingers on her left hand (middle finger) was blessed with a writer’s bump that she developed after writing. Ayame moves as if she's open ears – more so alert, like someone who has learned that everything, even being to herself can have full meaning. Her eyes always seem to be awake and focused – when she speaks to someone, she listens fully, waiting for her turn to speak. And when she does speak, her voice is steady, calm and relaxed.
Books have shaped her more than anything else. Even now she reads constantly – sometimes fiction, sometimes essays and even poetry. Since she was little writing was her earliest dream. She used to fill notebooks with unfinished stories, half-formed characters and tiny worlds that no one else ever saw except her. For her, storytelling was never a fantasy of fame or getting recognition. It was her way of creating a place where her feelings could live. But unfortunately somewhere along the line her dream changed.
There is a kindness in Ayame that doesn’t draw attention to itself. It’s not the loud bubbly type but the quiet and steady one. Like someone warm, almost a mother figure. Becoming an English teacher was her way of turning her love of language outward. She wanted students to feel what she felt when writing or reading – that to learn English was not just essays or old books but actual self-expression.
What is your character's outlook on students and co-workers?:
What is your character's motivation for teaching?:
(⋆) Ayame’s motivation for teaching wasn’t something practical or just because. It was something emotional. She wants to teach because language changed her life and she wants others to feel what she once felt. As a child Ayame found a deep love for stories before she ever really found herself. Books gave her something she didn’t get from the world around her. When characters felt lost, she felt less alone. When stories described emotions she never really knew about she realized that there were words for feelings she didn’t know. Language made the world bigger for the small girl she was. And that experience became the foundation for her motivation. Ayame wants to teach because she knows that for some students, school is not just a place of learning but the one place where someone could finally understand them. She hopes that through her class her students can discover their own voices. She wants her students to leave her classroom not only with better grammar but stronger voices. And yes there is another layer too. Part of Ayame wants to teach for the younger version of herself. The little girl who loved each book she read.
A student in class is struggling to understand the content, what would your character do?:
(⋆) If Ayame notices a student struggling to understand the lesson, her response is immediate but calm – not dramatic or rushed. She does not call the student out or ask questions that might embarrass them. Instead she observes quietly. She listens to their tone or would watch their expression. Ayame will approach the student slowly and privately often during individual time in class. Her voice would remain steady and kind: “Walk me through what makes sense and then we’ll work from there.” She would start from what they do know instead of highlighting what they don’t. She would break the concepts down into smaller pieces and offer examples that the student might find relatable. She would not rush their response. She knows thinking takes time. If the student might become frustrated, Ayame would pause and give emotional support: “It’s okay not to get it right away. Understanding is a process, not a timer.” She wants the student to believe they are capable of learning. IF the student still struggles, Ayame would offer an option rather than an order: “Would you like to stay after class to work through it together?” She will give them a choice, because this would reduce anxiety that the student might be having and increase engagement. When progress finally happens – whether big or small, Ayame would celebrate it, but quietly. She would smile and nod and speak up: “You see? You can do this. It just took time.” For Ayame, helping a struggling student isn’t a burden or disruption rather it is the heart of teaching. She believes confusion is not failure but the starting point of learning.
A student is continuously being disruptive in class, talking out of turn, and making jokes with classmates. What would your character do?:
(⋆) If a student continued talking out of turn and joking around during class, Ayame would stay composed and never escalate emotionally. First she would give subtle cues – a pause in, eye contact (not rude) or move closer, to give the student a chance to correct themselves without embarrassment. If the behaviour continues, she would calmly say their name and remind them that disrupting class is disrespectful, making it clear that it’s affecting others’ ability to learn. If they kept going, she would set a boundary, offering a choice between staying in the lesson or moving seats to refocus. After class, she would speak to the student privately rather than making an example out of them, asking what’s going on and listening before offering correction. She would explain that she wants the best for them. Even if consequences were needed, she would give the student a ‘clean slate’ the next day. She believes that discipline is most effective when its firm but never ever humiliating.
