NAME: Itou Miyabi. CANON: Yamada-kun and the 7 witches. CANON POINT: chapter 59. AGE: 16. APPEARANCE: Your average teenage girl. PERSONALITY: Suzaku High has a surprising amount of problem students and Itou Miyabi is one of them. These kids don't do well in school, are bullied, or left on the fringes of society. Itou is one that gets ignored. She made it all the way to the second year without making a single friend and is a giant joke around the school. Ever heard of the boy that cried wolf? Well, that's pretty much how she's treated. To seek attention she attached herself to the occult overwhelm anyone new enough to listen to her tales with blatant lies about UFO sightings and the like. It got so bad that no one listened even when she told the truth and just laughed at her to her face. She saw her last chance to make friends in the newly formed Supernatural Studies Club.
Which wasn't a club set up for supernatural studies at all, but a safe place for Yamada and friends to experiment with the Witch Powers. Yeah, in this high school said problem children sometimes are given super special powers to help them reach out and make friends. Itou didn't get one but she doesn't let that keep her down. After learning about the real supernatural happenings of the clubs he opens up ten times more than before. Especially since she shares a secret with her club mates and actually becomes friends with them. This was a major breakthrough for her as she has never, ever really had good friends. When she invites them over to her house her family is ecstatic that she finally brought someone over. The fact that she has only recently dealt with these things called friends means she is still totally socially awkward though.
No longer alienated or hated Itou lets her true colors shine. As a complete and utter dweeb. When she was ignored and laughed at she was quiet and serious, trying to appear mature and cool to win people over. But once that hurdle was passed there was no holding back her loud and bubbly personality. She is energetic and gets emotional quickly. In short, she's overbearing. Once she gets going she doesn't stop and that goes for whether she is talking about something she loves or rampaging mad. She's still serious about some things, the other members would sit around eating snacks if she didn't motivate them, but they are definitely childish subjects to get testy about. She worries about the club room looking like a club room, what to do during culture festivals, and dumb school things like that. It's pretty normal worries considering they routinely deal with crazy things like preventing school fires, getting expelled by crazy first years, and being the student council's errand runners.
The love of the occult is really not an act for attention either. When she wants something she doesn't hold back to get it. She spent hundreds of yen on fake occult merchandise just so she could show it off in the hopes of getting friends, and once she got those friends she really doesn't hold back in the experimentation. Which can get a bit awkward considering the powers only work with you kiss someone. It's pretty amazing how fast she stops caring about kissing a boy or other girls when it's for science.
In summary, Itou is your normal everyday teenager who has a bunch of crazy friends with magical kissing powers. It's sad when the crazy occult fan is the most normal of the bunch.
PROJECTED CLASS: Considering Itou is a normal human girl with no prior training she is doing what any teenager would do and pick the coolest sounding one! Taking into account her love for the occult and the fact she isn't sporty at all the most obvious choice is the Mage guild as a Summoner. She will have a lot of cool trinkets and use magic to help out without having to be on the front lines. The best of all worlds for her. OTHER: none!
[Hello, there is a bright and bubbly redhead now on screen. Not for long though as the screen suddenly moves to and fro erratically before settling back down to a standstill. There is a goofy laugh before she begins again.]
So it does move! I was worried it might just track on my face or something. Oh, but that isn't important. [She clears her throat.] My name is Itou Miyabe and I'm the strongest mage you will ever meet! If you ever need help in your endeavors look no further than The Great Itou!
[A pretty obvious lie since she doesn't even remember the correct class term... But she seems to be enjoying the idea a lot so don't judge her too harshly.]
THIRD PERSON SAMPLE Everything here was amazing. Itou had bought 'magical' items off of the internet before but even she knew it was a scam. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever thought she would find herself in a real magical marketplace overrun with tools for spell casting and exotic everything! She had left that morning on a mission to buy -- with money she didn't have -- fitting flowing robes for her new life as a Summoner.
It was obvious to her to join the most magical guild as it obviously had to be the best and most exciting. But she really didn't look the part as she was now. Who would cower in fear of a small girl in a school uniform waving around a wand. This wasn't some magical girl show, she was now a real life sorceress and she needed to look the part. Which meant robes of the deepest black or richest purple, a cowl to obscure and add mystery, and the most mystic staff and channeling trinkets. Oh yes, she had it all planned out. Monsters were going to run away at the sight of her after she got decked out.
Some part of her brain was reminding her she should be scared out of her mind after being kidnapped. She was just a normal girl. She wasn't even special like her friends, she had no secret powers or especially interesting back story. She wouldn't make the cut as a heroine at all. But the majority of her mind was just too taken with the idea of real magic. Or maybe the entire thing was in her wildest dreams and she just never gave herself enough credit. Either way, worrying was not winning any battles today. She was living in the land of dragons, princesses, and magic and she wasn't going to let anything slow her down. And living the life currently included pressing her face against the window and getting an eye full of beautifully embroidered robes. Well, there was only one way to try and get it right now.
Itou burst into the shop. "Hello, Sir Shopkeeper! Do you have any great deeds or requests for me to complete?" You never know, maybe she could haggle the robe as a reward.
