[ ~Appearance Overview~ ]
Arisu stands a little bit over the average height for women in Japan at approximately 5'5" tall. She also tends to wear high-heeled shoes, adding an extra 3-5 inches to her appearance. She has long, messy strawberry blonde hair with a few bits of her bangs specifically refusing to cooperate with any attempts to tame them, giving her more of an anime-like appearance. She typically wears her hair down, but has been known to wear it in a ponytail, both messy and elegant buns, and occasionally in a braid or two. Her eyes appear a light, greyish blue in colour and often sparkle. She currently weighs around 100lbs, her weight often fluctuating due to lack of eating from stress. She typically wears a mysterious and sweet perfume called "Twilight Woods" from Bath & Body Works and has been doing so for years.
Her fashion sense has a wide range, but she typically prefers to wear styles similar to "girl next door," "casual chic," "preppy," and "trendy."
She has a very small scar on the distal portion of her left thumb that she received in middle school during a fencing match with her father due to lack of proper gloves. She also has a surgical scar on her right knee.
Her voice can best be described as mezzo-soprano in range and she often speaks in a bright, playful melody. She has been known to change her voice pitch with relative ease, occasionally going higher or lower in pitch for fun- mainly to annoy her friends.
Throughout her life, Arisu has always been a kind-hearted if somewhat odd girl. She strives to find a place among friends where she can be herself and where her friends in turn can feel comfortable being themselves as well. She usually behaves in a chaotic and playful manner, but always feels like she's walking on eggshells to try and not upset anyone due to her people-pleasing tendencies. She loves to talk about deeper concepts like philosophy, science, and art and has a tendency to randomly tell others about facts she finds interesting whenever a subject comes up that she can connect her vast network of miscellaneous "fun" (sometimes disturbing) facts to.
Occasionally, her people-pleasing tendencies and will to share information with the world clash, leaving her feeling embarrassed and worried that she offended the other party. When things go wrong, she has a strong tendency to blame herself for them. When she's feeling particularly down on herself or guilty, she tends to withdraw from others, often boarding herself up at home in her room or hiding away in less frequently visited areas around town/school.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Severe Retrograde Amnesia
People-pleasing
Guilt Complex
Somatic symptoms of mental illnesses/disorders
Memory loss (22 months) due to severe retrograde amnesia
Philophobia- The fear of love, being in love, or falling in love. Arisu has had bad experiences in the past when it comes to love, so she’s afraid to love anyone romantically again.
Pyrophobia- The fear of fire. Arisu has a severe fear of fire at this point time thanks to her most recent memory (thanks to her amnesia) of being on the roof of her old school while it was on fire...
Misophobia- The fear of hatred. For Arisu, she fears hating others and/or being hated by others.
Atychiphobia- The fear of failure. Arisu’s always held herself to impossibly high standards in life, trying to get the best possible grades and be the best possible person she can be. She’s afraid of failure and the judgement that comes from it.
(Note: Many of these behaviours may not indicate for certain whether Arisu is lying, but are general indicators of deceit or anxiety for her.)
Awkward laughter (especially over phone calls)
Dancing around a subject/changing subjects
Smiling with closed eyes (Note: This is something she does normally but may use to her advantage when trying to get away with a lie as it both conceals emotions hidden in her eyes and makes her appear to be acting "normal".)
Aversion to maintaining/establishing eye contact
Often speaks in a dramaticized, anime-like manner
Forgetful and clumsy
Will occasionally make random noises out of boredom

Listen buddy, revising this biography took a lot of work- there are parts that aren't quite done yet and you'll just have to cope with it. Come back later!
If you're reading this, you get the exclusive knowledge that I'm hungry and tired. Good for you!
Tbh I feel like Yasuko has misophobia - (I. e : in her bio one of her opinions on her mother is ""Nobody could hate their own mother, right?.."
And a portion of her opinion on Kaito Shiragone is "I will not hate you. Hatred is something that I spare for only the worst - of which you are not in my mind. No matter how much you want me to yell at you, to hate you, I will not. I simply wish you could do the same for me." But I cant tell whether that's fear of hatred or just not wanting to hate people - hmmm .. -_o.o_-
SPEAKING OF WHICH, Yasuko needs to be added to Ari's bio! :D no rush, just yk
(so that you dont have to go looking, her full name is Yasuko "Kana" Murakami)
