PLAY-BY: Michiru of Sailor Moon
FULL APPEARANCE: Michiru has lustrous, brown hair that she brushes to a shine everyday. Falling just past her shoulders, she is very proud of the wavy fall of thick, chestnut colored locks. Her eyes are a startling blue, wide and wide set in her delicately features face. Her chin is softly pointed and her straight nose is only just upturned at the end.
Michiru's face is very expressive, so she has to work at keeping every emotion from flitting across her features. Being very much aware of appearances, she is precise is both dress and carriage. She likes simple but well made clothing. The perfect fit with detailed seamwork. Even if it means waking before everyone else, Michiru does not start her day without first looking her best.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Michiru is as precise as her appearance. She often seems lofty due to her reserve. She is not quick to warm to others, but she is not cruel either. She tries to do and give her best in every situation, but she has no tolerance for temper tantrums or other unsavory personality traits in other people. Because of this she often reacts with offense or correction when subject to such displays of bad manners.
Once you have made a friend of Michiru, there is no escape. She is a loyal and loving person. Though her love is not unconditional, and she is just as likely to call out the bad behavior of her friends as she is anyone else, she is quicker to forgive them, though perhaps judges them harsher than others. She has high expectations! Especially of Haruka, even if it seems like she is often far more forgiving and lenient toward her.
At heart, Michiru is an artist. She loves to paint, working best with ambiguous colors and blurry shapes. She is very proficient with a flute, as well.
HISTORY
FAMILY:
Father
Mother (deceased)
Sister
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: Haruka
BIRTHPLACE: Lemos Hold
HISTORY: trigger warning for parental death
Born to a carpenter near the wood tracks of Lemos, Michiru lead an uninspiring but happy life. Her family was small, just mother, father, and a sister. Made smaller still when her mother died of an illness that swept through the Hold.
Her sister seemed destined to take after their father. She clung to him always while Michiru tried to find her own way. She felt adrift without her mother, bobbing on a line tied around the rock of what was left of her family. She struggled to find her place. A good student, and a crafty artist, but she lacked valuable skills. Skills that would help support her as an independent adult.
Thinking it might be best to try a new place for their family to reconnect, her father agreed to terms offered him by a Semaca outrider. He had skills that they needed, and his daughters would accompany him and surely also make themselves useful.
Michiru did some work minding children or doing kitchen work. None of which suited her wholly, though she likes teaching. She felt listless, and so became a candidate, inspired by a new and dear friend. As a rider, or even a handler, she would have a use to the Weyr other than painting it at sunsets.
So far her candidacy has been adventurous, as life in Semaca is, she has come to realize. Sometimes frightening, as when she nearly drowned. Or glorious, as when Haruka gifted her a firelizard egg that hatched a golden Gift just for her. And hopeful. Her family is well content, and Michiru is finding her feet as well. She feels happier and more purposeful.
