.:PRESENTATION & SOUND:.
Appearance:
Miyako is a 5'2" ginger girl with a somewhat fiery disposition. Her hazel eyes are almost always sharp and observant with a hint of sternness toward most she comes across; almost always alert and seeking of flaws that need correcting. She certainly excels at giving the impression of someone that tries too hard to be the model student. Her face is lightly freckled, skin a pale tone. Her uniform is kept pristine and fastened, no slack for casual sense permitted whatsoever; the main thing that stands out as customisation being her big red bow which adorns the back of her head akin to a crown. She wears thigh-high socks and simple loafers with light buckles on the sides.
Personality:
Stern, stubborn, yet surprisingly selfless at times, Miyako is a complicated person that feels a strong desire for improvement at every step - to the point that she becomes secretly quite self destructive if unable to meet her own crushing standards. This extends to other people as well; she feels a strong obligation to help her fellow students be the best they can be and to stay out of trouble - even if it requires 'tough love', becoming quick to feel frustrated at them and especially herself should they not prove receptive of her efforts. She is especially quick to anger when faced with unreasonable delinquency, disappointment quick to settle in after. She is the stereotypical try hard student; following the school's code and the teachers like they are sacred. Few things terrify Miyako as much as the prospect of getting her record sullied with a detention slip - disappointing her elders and upper classmen is a prospect that brings her horror all the same. Despite her somewhat harsh outward nature, she is more than capable of being very warm to those she cares for - willing to overlook problems if the situation calls for it and take a step back, knowing that some people require more of a gentle touch. All in all, though, Miyako is strongly driven by her feelings - but she certainly tries to assess things with logic where possible.
Character Voice:
Somewhat on the deeper side for a girl, but still soft. When frustrated or angered, it becomes slightly more hoarse, however.
(PENDING A VOICE CLAIM... H)
Equipment:
Miyako carries a school bag almost all the time with her essentials within it; ranging from a bento box which is packed every morning to a calculator and sharpener. If it is standard school equipment, she has it on her person, priding herself on being organised. She carries an umbrella as well, along with a smart phone and an older flip phone which she has sentimental attachment to as a first gift she received from someone at Karakura. She additionally carries a set of keys for her family home and her credit and ID cards, along with a purse with a hefty sum of allowance within it.

.:VIRTUES & VICES:.
Hobbies:
Reading manga/books, poetry, stacking things neatly, chess.
Flaws:
Stubbornness - Miyako is extremely stubborn and hard to sway once she has her mind set on something. It takes GREAT amounts of logic and reasoning to get her to stand down if she has a strong belief in a particular approach, even if it may seem outright foolish to some. This leads to her being a bit unpleasant or perhaps even petty; she WILL see things through.
Perfectionism - Much too harsh on herself, Miyako is burdened with self expectation and ****ysation. Striving to constantly make steps in life and remain on the right path as flawlessly as possible, the idea of failure is something that genuinely upsets the girl. She strongly desires to succeed in life and her dreams, extending to even shorter term goals. Getting a bad mark on her record would be enough to make her have a breakdown.
Athleticism - Lacking in this department, Miyako is very often unable to keep up with immense physical activity for extended periods. Additionally, she is unable to swim even a stroke, leading to a deep rooted sense of inferiority.
Emotional - While a boon in some aspects, Miyako's emotions are very strong fairly often. Some of which she does not even fully grasp herself, such as love or other deep personal emotions.
Disorders/Disabilities:
Anxiety - While she does a fantastic job of concealing it and acting as though she does not particularly resonate with those that it, Miyako is wracked with anxiety due to insurmountable pressures to succeed; anxiety for her classmates, anxiety for her work, you name it and she likely overthinks it. Easy irritability is something she deals with as a consequence, that being the sole symptom that shines through clearly for any onlookers. Exceptionally rarely, Miyako can however be struck by a panic attack if the stress peaks, resulting in an extreme reaction.
Skills:
Empathy - Despite her harsh and critical outgoing nature, Miyako is actually rather empathetic and able to understand people relatively well should they talk to her properly - of course, provided she is not actively angry with them for some slight they had against her.
Confidence - Miyako is able to keep composure and have confidence in herself outwardly. Inside she may be anxious, but outside she is very good at regulating this, especially with public speaking or the likes.
Determination - Able to create goals and pursue them with adamant focus, Miyako is gifted with the ability to reach for dreams that are within her grasp through hard work that others may struggle to keep up.

.:PERSONAL RELATIONS:.
NEMESIS - ENEMY - NUISSANCE - NEUTRAL - ACQUAINTENCE - FRIEND - BESTIE - LOVE
(If you wish to be added and have actually interacted properly with Miyako, give me a nudge. I'll be updating this over time!)
Nina 'Meika' Haas | ALIVE
Girlfriend
"...Well. I guess... we're actually doing this, then. It's kind of surreal."
Meika's ranked the highest in Miyako's thoughts. The girl has proven herself so much in Miyako's eyes and even helped her get through some of the darkest moments she's had - the gratitude is so strong toward her. She has watched the girl grow from being a bit of an alcoholic with issues expressing herself to someone that is truly doing so much better even despite all the trouble and struggles. One of the rare cases lately where Miyako has felt like she's actually helped someone for the better. Miyako truly loves Meika for who she is- having shared plenty of moments together. Meika's been there so much for her, the two making each other better and sharing a mututal understanding of the other. Miyako believed it to be just a case of deep friendship, but time passed, Miyako eventually coming to the realisation that she actually feels something deeper toward the airhead. Truly, incredible.
Emiko Tokugawa | ALIVE
Honorary Sister
"If I had an older sibling, I'd hope they'd be just like you. You're amazing, Emiko."
Someone Miyako met by complete chance following a prank that went WAY too far resulting in Miyako exploding a bit. Emiko proved to be heavily on the reasonable side and respected that she was going to take a while to calm down. Both of them hit it off well afterwards and following a sequence of events, the two connected better. Better being an understatement, as Miyako has been somewhat taken under Emiko's wing and both have a strong mutual trust in each other, the two sharing quite a lot about each other and forging a close knit comfort. Miyako has a strong sense of admiration toward Emiko, trusting her as a somewhat older sister figure that she never really had. Such a bond has only proven to grow stronger lately, with Miyako feeling as though she can look to Emiko for any guidance she needs and trusting Emiko's decisions, even if they may appear questionable on the surface. She truly believes in her, feeling a familial comfort within her presence- looking up to her for her strength and resolve.
Milo A. Sandora | ALIVE
Great Friend
"You've opened my eyes a lot and helped me through some really troubling times. You're wonderful, Milo."
Bad terms and awkward circumstances lead to some tension. Milo is someone that showed up out of the blue one day and practically swept Alcide away from her. Her heart gave way to some jealousy initially, though she never had any real hostile feeling toward him, getting over that fairly fast. Despite such, he responded with clear hostility initially, but following a few encounters and Milo seeing just how badly shaken up she was about the whole ordeal, he came to help her get through things. In general, the two have grown significantly closer following a few conversations and mutual assistance to get through their panic episodes; united by a fair few similarities. Miyako appreciated him immensely, with that appreciation only intensifying as they had conversations over the stresses of Karakura that they had been enduring together, particularly with Alcide as the subject matter of said stress- along with how little empathy people seemed to have. Even going as far as to break the law together to have some drinks, something Miyako genuinely cannot believe she let happen- but hey, they bonded a ton through it.
Melora Monroe | ALIVE
Close Friend
"Your smile is one I want to see preserved. Thanks for all the joy you bring."
Melora is a girl that one day spoke to Miyako about her hair. A completely random chance encounter, leading to the two of them simply talking a little more and attending art class together in specific. Over time, they have grown very close and Melora has been there for Miyako during some tougher times- and vice versa. From a quiet, barely speaking girl to one that actually initiates conversations, Melora has grown since Miyako has known her - and she couldn't be more proud. Both of them sharing a likeness has had a comment or so about them being quite sister-like; Miyako not at all being opposed to the sentiment. She really likes Melora's company and hopes to see her grow ever further as a person.
Helena Everheart | ALIVE
Adored Teacher/Mentor
"I'm happy you could confide in me. I can see how much you must struggle. I only hope I can ease that struggle."
Helena was a teacher at Karakura that Miyako adored for her strict, serious demeanour - such a teacher that had her back during the most stressful time she endured during her high school days, with Jayne constantly hounding her at every opportunity. Miyako strongly admired Helena and wished to be praised by her; seeing such a rare occurrence as a badge of honour- and that seemed to be as far as it would go. However, through the passage of time teetering along, with Miyako maturing and getting into college and Helena leaving her position as a teacher... the two were able to have a serious heart to heart, not as teacher and student, but as what felt much more akin to equals to the ginger. With an insight into Helena's motivations and an exchange of morals... Miyako hopes to be able to support Helena as she had been supported by her, previously. How far it will go, time will tell, of course.
Ichika Sanbuono | ALIVE
Close Friend
"I'm really glad to see you improving, Ichika. If you're happy, I'm happy."
Troubling, but at least they're on good terms; Ichika proved to be a nice enough girl to be around when Miyako met Kaiser and Haru in her earlier days. Once Kaiser disappeared, however, Ichika became very depressed and turned to some bad habits which Miyako heavily disagreed with. Despite such, she did her absolute best to support her through it - something which Ichika seemed to appreciate. Given Ichika has improved lately, Miyako finds herself relieved.
Nashi Yawarakai | ALIVE
Close Friend
"Happy you're still around. You were where it counted!"
Someone that Miyako met over something rather ridiculous; a pineapple joke gone wrong, leading to someone verbally lashing out at Nashi. Miyako found it baffling, to say the least- deciding to goof off for a change and go along with the joke of the cult that Nashi had jokingly created. From there, they became a bit closer- up until an incident where Nashi was attacked in the forest leading to Miyako springing to action to pull her all the way to the hospital despite her lacking strength and size. Miyako was there for her recovery a fair bit and the two of them had a fairly in depth conversation about their troubles, leading to their relationship being built on a fairly mutual trust. Miyako feels like she can confide in Nashi fairly confidently. The two of them even visited the shrine together in an effort to help Nashi get back on her feet - and the two of them grew to realise they share a mutual struggle. ...Yeah. That struggle. How ironic.
Heo S. Tokugawa | ALIVE
Close Friend
"You're doing a lot better for yourself. I'm proud of you."
Someone that Miyako had a slight ire toward, Heo has become a bit closer in her books as he's proven to be somewhat surprisingly level headed when it's needed. Unfortunately he has practically ghosted the group for quite some time and after a rough patch with Alcide she never really spoke to him. Despite such, she wanted to try to reconnect a little bit. They reconnected recently on the roof at school and properly talked things out; Heo genuinely surprising Miyako in all of the best ways with a far more mature outlook. The two of them seem to share a mutual respect now - with the pettiness of criminality long in the past.
Sofina Lemaire | ALIVE
Friend
"We don't talk much, but... you're nice. Hope to see you around."
A former part of the "gang", Sofina was around vaguely when Miyako hung around Heo and Alcide. Unfortunately, things seem to have happened and they rarely really interact at all. Despite such, Miyako desires some connection, hoping to maybe fix the divide in the group.
Akihiro 'Scythe' Blaise | ALIVE
Friend
"Stay on the right path. You've got this."
Akihiro appeared one day as a surprise relative to Alcide. Needless to say, the surprise was not a good one - Miyako feeling a strong disdain in regard to the more troublesome brother's behaviour. However, Akihiro had surprised her for a while - seemingly having taken a path toward being a better person. This resulted in Miyako's view of him shifting significantly, the girl jumping on a chance to support him and try to be there as a friend that would help him become better. This however backfired significantly, following trouble with Alcide, leading to Akihiro acting out and breaking her trust and belief in him. Miyako totally snapped as a culmination of pressure and lashed out physically. Despite such, the two managed to talk it out and she went back to supporting him. He ended up making a huge mistake not long later, but thanks to collective efforts, he corrected himself. Now, things might finally be fine for him.
Kotaro Hamasaki | ALIVE
Friend (Unfortunately)
"It's always the damn delinquents."
Kotaro appeared one day out of the blue at school. Quite literally, out of nowhere, tripping Miyako. The girl stumbled, but didn't fall over- deciding to let him off with a warning. Ironically, it ended up becoming a game for Kotaro, trying to catch her off-guard- succeeding a few times, failing the others; and Miyako, finding herself not despising the boy, started to humour it. One thing led to another and they started to actually just... talk. Kotaro finding that Miyako was actually quite tolerable for a 'nerd', and Miyako finding Kotaro worth a little bit of effort to try to keep on a decent track, believing him to be a bit dense but genuinely meaning well, even if his pranks and ideas of fun are... rather extreme. Still, she finds his presence quite enjoyable; much to her disdain of having another delinquent on her contacts list.
Dragon Bones | DEAD
Lost Friend
"I should've been there... I should've been there."
Dragon, a girl with a rather strange name (and family name) to Miyako. One chock full of problems, too. One who brought a lot of distress to her. Yet she watched Dragon try; try and try again to better herself despite her hardships. Something Miyako found genuinely worth fighting for. Countless hours she spent talking with her and helping her get better- even spending some time to just be there as friends. Such a strange, strange thing; they got along surprisingly well toward the end. Unfortunately, the girl was killed as she had started to truly take steps to progress. Miyako found her body, merely fifteen minutes after she had died. Miyako blames herself immensely for it all to this day, but has managed to accept it.
Alcide Blaise | ALIVE
Reticence
"...I suppose you haven't forgotten all of the good. I won't expect anything, though."
A bit of a delinquent type, Miyako struggled to deal with Alcide a lot of the time - the two exchanging quips and jabs at each other often - but she always thought she understood him. For the longest time, she desired to help him reach a point where he'd be happy with himself. Her feelings swelled up often around him, frustration and... other awkward things bursting forth for some reason. She had some strong sense of responsibility that she pressed on herself in regard to Alcide and his success, but Alcide certainly did not appreciate it, arguments breaking out frequently, though they usually bounced back afterward. However, following Miyako becoming slightly unstable and a fairly rough ordeal, their bond fractured. After one last ditch attempt to really try to fix things, it became clear that there was no way for her to fix the bridge that had burned. Time passed, however... And Alcide seems to have moved past his over the top resentment toward her. Miyako is reticent, though; unwilling to have expectations or hopes and simply seeing how the ball rolls.
Jayne Sinu Ayaui | ALIVE
Slightly Wary
"...I'm unsure what to think of you, Jayne."
A complicated case, Jayne's a troublemaker that bullied Miyako to no end once she had a dispute with him in school for insulting one of her friends. This led to his behaviour getting out of control and a teacher walking in on the ordeal, leading to him getting detention. It spiralled from there - from being pushed into a pool, to having her leg broken, the bad blood between the two was strong. Yet for some reason, she felt he could improve with the right guidance. Which he slowly seemed to be... before he faked his death and disappeared, leaving her to believe he was dead. Following a rather... odd reunion that led to Miyako freaking out, the two actually seem to have a better connection again seeing as Jayne is improving for real, supposedly. Miyako can't help but be wary still as a result of Rina, however.
