WHAT POSITION ARE YOU APPLYING FOR?:
Shinto Priest
WHAT KNOWLEDGE DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE OF SHINTOISM AND ARE YOU PREPARED/WILLING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE RELIGION?:
As of right now, I know that. The Sacred Power, also known as kami, some light knowledge of the ancestors, and the Spirits, also known as Supernatural Entities- are all revered in Shintoism, one of the most widely practiced religions in Japan aside from Buddhism. It is well known that Japan is home to numerous kami shrines.
Shinto technically means the way of gods. the star of animism in different regions had different things that they worshipped (ex; could be animals or stones, nature like trees) and like said before every region has their own gods. In Shintoism, there are currently 8,000 gods but it’s unknown how many gods there actually are (basically a polytheistic religion) there are many gods for many things, even.. toilets. The people who fight for Japan who pass away are also considered as gods.
Although they aren’t just called Gods but also, Kami which is a more known way to call them in Japan.
The main Kami is named Amaterasu-Omikami which who is a female.
Shintoism has a very strong connection with nature because of japans natural disasters, this is way japans peace with nature as they cannot control it (Japan is known for having a lot of natural disasters)
Anyone is welcome to MOST shrines so I’ll explain one of the MAIN custom you must know before going.
Tori gate - which is always at the front of a Shinto shrine, a symbol of ‘from there on begins the holy area’. The middle of an Tori is for the gods so you should NEVER walk in the middle. Either on the left or right side but before entering the Tori or leaving. You have to bow to the Tori.
Am I prepared or willing to learn? Absolutely, I'd like to know more about Shintoism. Since the religion is real, it is only polite to portray shrine maidens in a way that is consistent with how they would typically seem in real life. I want to use this opportunity to make friends with others who share my interest in Japanese culture and religion. constructing fresh, varied roleplay scenarios and, ideally, a protracted stay at the Shrine.
WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT FOR THIS ROLE OVER OTHER APPLICANTS?
I am confident enough to bring in a character who might potentially transform other character lives at the Shrine, and I attempt to be sociable by making others feel at ease and encouraging them to form wonderful friendships outside of roleplaying whether with myself or others. These are the simple reasons that make me stand out for this role. I can be readily taught and have a strong desire to develop personally, making me very coachable.won't be problematic if I’m correct of my wrong doings. When necessary, I can also communicate, although. other than myself, every each applicant jumps out significantly.───────────────────────────────────────

WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT FOR THIS ROLE OVER OTHER APPLICANTS?
I will thus say something that the others might not have. I am an advocate of roleplaying; I'm not sure how to put it precisely. I can't just stand there silently. I can attempt maintain everyone's interest in roleplaying, especially at the shrine. I am skilled at creating roleplay moments immediately in my mind. I mentioned that I could bring a character that could change shrine life for this reason. I can provide humor or sadness to a roleplay. I can make it more fun, and I know that anyone can do the same, but not many people are ready to go the extra mile or want someone else to go above and beyond simply saying hello or making something up. But me? I'll go ahead and do it. I also enjoy doing it, so I don't say it in a negative way. I honestly don't mind engaging first in roleplay because I enjoy reading about other people's characters in the hopes that they would enjoy mine. Hopefully inspiring others to follow suit. Even while roleplaying can occasionally be daunting or overwhelming, everyone deserves to feel at ease roleplaying, and I want/willing to bring a space for others.
DO YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOU WILL HAVE TO ATTEND MANDATORY TRAININGS TO BE TAUGHT MORE ABOUT SHINTOISM AND THE ACCORDING PROCEDURES?:
YES I DO *Salutes*

WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION FOR APPLYING TO WORK AT THE MONASTERY?:
“My mother would be the reason for it. Yes, strange head start. Please pay attention for a little while. Here in Japan, in Kyoto, I was first born. My mother was a Geisha, although she had previously been a member of the Shrine in her early years. Before leaving for Kyoto, she would tell me about her life at the Shrine. Although I'm not really sure how she became a geisha. She informed me that after turning into a geisha, her happiness was left at the shrine. She was a Priest at the Azusamiten Shrine in Tachikawa, Japan.”
“Once my mother died in my teens, and I ran away from Kyoto. Finding the Azusamiten Shrine, where my Mother called home. I learned the ways of a Maiden. Learning Traditional Dances, etiquette, Learning but also meeting so many new people. Until it was all gone..” - “So, when I was looking for someone new.. I ended up here. in Karakura. A new place and city far away from my old one, but so new! Different people, cultures and faces. Attending to the Shrine, it was.. beautiful. The air was fresh and.. my cat Yuuki made it quite clear that we have reached what we searched for. A new home. New people, and Back to Shrine life, this time.. I want to be a Priest. Walking in the footsteps of my mother and previous family she has told so many stories to me before. I have confidence that I can do it. I will.”
TELL ME WHAT HISTORY AND INFORMATION YOU KNOW ABOUT THE SHINSEI SEINARU MONASTERY:
‘Thus far. I am aware that Yama-No-Kami is the name of the kami, and oddly, there appears to be a cave with a Yokai mask within. In addition, there's an earlier shrine that appears to have been somewhat damaged, but upon closer inspection, it appears to have been damaged by fire. Although I don't truly know anything about the shrines history, I am aware of "Kitsa," a spirit, made frequent visits. Taking on Research in the Library.. I found a book although ibasically a maiden who roamed around she was beautiful, kind and her aura surpassed humans and onto animals but some enemies became mad at her because she received too much praise! And spread rumors but the gods were like ‘she’s cool for real’ and then.. she received a proposal from the gods but she was like.. nah and lived her life becoming old with the shrine.. a nice life not gonna lie.. but from anything else.. I’m not really sure of the history of this place but What I can find!.”
WRITE A LETTER TO THE MONASTERY LEAD :
‘Dear Head Priest.
I am thrilled to send a letter for the possibility of becoming a Priest, thus I am writing this letter for you. I hope you understand this, but I'm not sure what to write. Do I tell you about myself? What I know..? Will I just be a random person that have the interest in joining shrine. Well! I’ll just, answer them all. I am Kiko Ōkami.
I am a 25 yr old young woman who was born in Kyoto, but mostly raised in Tachikawa, Japan.. I was first, a maiden at the Azusamiten Shrine. Yes, my last name is also.. Miyori. I have a cat named Yuuki and Currently have no Parents Alive. My father is an unknown foreigner, as my mother was a Geisha In Kyoto. Previously, a Priest at the Miyori shrine. When it comes to Shrine, I know everything that is needed to be known.. although after a long Journey a Refresher may be needed..
tarot, weddings, Traditional Dances, etc.
I like to do chores! Mainly gardening and planting, eventually giving the fruits & Vegetables to those who are in need of cooking ingredients or making food for those who are in need, especially the outside cats! Being social is sorta my thing, I do enjoy meeting new people especially those who come to the shrine to pray. Most have a stories to tell, some sad - some good! Not like I mind, That’s the enjoyable part of being a Maiden or a priest, people just.. come to vent sometimes. Maybe cause we are at the shrine.. but it’s wonderful that people seek that comfort within us- ANYWAYS! I’m super cool, Self review though. I can definitely be some sort of environment change? I don’t get mad often, never try to be. I can.. communicate and I work SUPER hard.. when I have too hehe.. kidding kiddin.. and I like people! Mostly animals.. and majority cats. But I’m great! Just have to.. give me a chance ? *Cat doodle with a thumbs up*
And as to now you already may know. I am not someone who just “suddenly” grew interest in the Shrine. I am someone who wants to return. Due to something happening to my old one, I went to different Shrines but I knew most weren’t for me.. especially not for Yuuki. But here, it’s nice. It reminds me of my old home and Yuuki loves it here as well.. oh! My cat is Named Yuuki. lol. Besides all the rain, I can tell that the Shrine is incredibly loved by its members and the citizens who live here. And there’s nothing better than a place that just feels welcoming. So. I ask.. a bit Selfishly. Please Allow me to be a member of this shrine. I am willing to uphold my Duty to the best of my Abilities. Showing Kindness to others, animals, nature and all life around us. I will make a comfortable place within the Shrine so everyone can find a inner self of peace or a place just for peace.
I want to teach everyone and myself, how to relove eachother and this world. I know that I don't need to be at the Shrine to do that.. but I want to do it at the Shrine. Besides, Who doesn't go to the Shrine just to escape from all the evil out there?
Sincerely, Kiko Miyori
and Yuuki! lol *A Inked Cat Paw Print*
BACKSTORY (100+ Words):
"I was born in Kyoto, Japan, twenty-five years ago. Being unaware of my biological father is understandable given that my mother was a prosperous geisha at the time. The life wasn't perfect, but it was to be expected for a Geisha child; my mother did her best to take care of me as I grew up. I'm not entirely sure what transpired for my mother to become a geisha in Kyoto, but she was originally born in Tachikawa, Japan. where she was raised as a priest's daughter. She did her best to tell me stories about her life in the Shrine, including teaching me. Usually because I would beg her .. She would teach me about Tarot cards, Doing Tea Ceremonies .. mainly for eachother, Ritual Dances.. and many other things she was able to teach and tell me.
For anything else.. I don't have much of a Background. I wasn't taught anything school related at this time.. and besides my mother. The other Children, and the Stray cats me and my mother would take care of. Sometimes, I saw her praying to them..
then. When I was ten years old, my mother fell asleep and didn't wake up. Even though she didn't appear sick, her heart was lifeless. I remained with her corpse until, a Tiny kitten came up to me suddenly. With anything that could be valuable, Yen, and a small Map that lead to the Azusamiten Shrine my mother kept hidden. It was just me and Yuuki against the world for almost a year. Until, I met someone who knew how to get there and my real life happened. I met many people at the Shrine, even some who knew my mother personally. They Homeschooled me and when I was 20. They let me become a Maiden, teaching me their ways. The Kami, Exactly.. why my mother would pray to the cats. Suddenly, The Shrine was destroyed by Lightening.. no one knows what happened. Why it happened but.. everything was destroyed. No one was Happy in Tachikawa anymore- Atleast those who we're members of the Shrine, it was when everyone realized most cats we're Killed that lived within the Shrine.. and. Yeah. Eventually, I departed from Tachikawa and set somewhere else. In hopes that I can create a New life somewhere else..
While on my 5 years of traveling. I came across multiple villages, cities. Then Eventually here in karakura, and I think I want to stay here. as my new start. "

"Ofuda. a multi-material talisman composed of metal, paper, wood, or cloth. Ofuda are thought to be endowed with the power of the gods or Buddhist figures and are frequently found at both Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples."
"The Ofuda is a piece of paper that you place on your home's walls to bestow upon it a particular spirit or protection that keeps you safe. It has a close relationship to Shinto shrines since the writing on it invokes the same spirit or deity that those specific shrines respect. It is also occasionally referred to as shinpu. It is said that putting an ofuda in your home alter invites the kami or spirit that is written on it to stay there."
"Kagura Suzu. They are a unique ceremonial implement. Neither at the kamidana nor in house worship are they utilized. They are typically utilized by a priest during a ceremony, particularly in shrines and, more frequently, Miko. Especially shrines which enshrine Ameno Uzume no Mikoto. while performing the ritual dance of Kagura. That's why they are called 'Kagura bells.'"
CHARACTER KNOWLEDGE / SITUATIONS
How does your character act around shrine grounds? How do they interact with guests and other staff?
Kiko is a very bubbly young woman. She loves to run around and talk to everyone, frequently playing with the children that come to the shrine and doing Origami with them or feeding the Koi.
other things include.
- Talking to everyone, usually making sure all guests and other members of the Shrine are doing all right and need anything!
- Walking around the Shrine like a patrol Officer with Yuuki, tending to the plants that keep the shrine beautiful
- Making sweets for members, and Shrine Guests. Mainly Cookies, Muffins, Brownies. and of course. tuna snacks or Beef snacks for the Animals.
- Chores, or well. "Fun Hobbies" Mainly Gardening.
- When she is allowed off grounds, she likes to clean up the streets and visit the other places. Usually bringing sweets to give the KPD, EMS, and TownHall, and Mainly school employees.(She Believes people are a lot happier when sudden small or big surprises happen out of no where)
When is comes to guests, Kiko tries to befriend them all. If she is comfortable, she likes to hear guests stories and why the come to the Shrine. Sometimes a bit too nosy but she enjoys listening to guests talk and speak about their day to day lives. She always invites them for food, tea or a simple rest in the Hot - springs. where if guests would like, she would prepare tea and sweets and keep company in the Hot - springs. She wonders if their is a 'Ritual' she could do to make guests feel cleansed after a relax in the Hot Springs.
With fellow Members of shrine. She loves to treat them as family, usually waking the others with breakfast or loud noises.. which is usual her already cleaning before most do. Kiko likes to be the life of the place, making sure her 'Family' is in a good moods and high spirits. She would sometimes play music and dance out of no where, challenge other members into funny friendly competition, and mostly a comfortable space for anyone to come to her for anything. She is dependable and usually able to take the emotional toll.
You see a guest jumping around the roofs of the building and overall disrespecting shrine grounds, how would your character handle it?
Kiko get's slightly irritated when disrespect is happening at Shrine Grounds. She would take the normal warning route, in hopes the guest would listen the first time. Usually giving the guest a sweet treat or an offer of tea and fun uno game if they obide.
on other cases.. Kiko is one with a no Bullshit meter. Once enough disrespect is met, Kiko will firmly kick the guest off Shrine grounds. This would be the action once after she has asked nicely, warned, made a threat.
(ex; "Please get off the roof/Please do not curse!" "Get off the Roof/Stop cursing please otherwise I will have to become strict." "I WILL ban you off Shrine Grounds if you continue."
Once the guest is black listed. She will return to her normal state, although if she is in the wrong or have taken wrong actions. She will apologize to the guest.
Why does your character want to become a shrine maiden/priest?
Kiko is influenced highly by her deceased Mother who was previously an Shrine Priest. Plus, her previous work at her old Shrine. Kiko find's the Shrine a place to go where no where else seems safe to you, as growing up and being raised by Shrine People. She has an incredibly positive outlook. Kiko loves the atmosphere the Shrine gives. Peace, Love, Comfortability and overall Positivity. Which is what she is as an whole. Kiko want's to follow her mother's footsteps into becoming a priest herself, She has a wish to become someones "go to" or "Comfort" when she is needed. She has an hate for negativity and usually daydreams of herself fighting off evil spirits. Kiko doesn't have a full understanding what she is signing up for, but she is willing to do absolutely anything to reach her dream with her bestfriend (also an cat) Yuuki. Who is her partner through out it all. and most importantly. She wants a place where she can call Family, where anyone can come and feel at home.
