Character: Shiraishi Mako
Series: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger
Character Age: 23-24
Job: Children's Self-Defence Instructor
Canon: Demonic spirits called the Gedoushuu have risen from the underworld to take over Earth. Now, there's only one hope for humanity: the Samurai Sentai Shinkengers. These superheroes live as modern day samurai in a cracky setup somewhere between a period drama and Power Rangers. Together they battle the Gedoushuu with the help of their Origami (giant fold-up robots) and Mojikara (a power that allows them to perform attacks by writing kanji in the air.)
Shiraishi Mako serves as ShinkenPink and abandoned her former life as a nursery school teacher to take her place among the Shinkengers. She is the oldest and most responsible member of the team, and despite being somewhat cool and standoffish, she is very loyal to the others. Although she is a skilled fighter, her biggest strengths are her empathy and the ability to read others well. Mako lost her chance to have a normal childhood because she was training to become a samurai, so she compensates by being very maternal and caring towards others. If you're lonely or sad, she will always be a shoulder to cry on - until you cheer up, and then don't expect any more snuggles. Her life's dream, which is to be a picture-perfect housewife and mother, is unfortunately hindered by her total lack of cooking skills. The Shinkengers have learned not to eat any food prepared by her unless there is medical aid standing by.
Sample Post: Is everyone here? Can the people at the back hear me? Good! I'm happy to meet you. If you have any problems or questions, just ask! We will do one hour's training and then have a break for juice and cookies. I made them for you this morning, so concentrate and we'll eat them later. We're not going to do anything too physical today, because I haven't really worked with children of other species before. But it's okay! I am here for all of you. Could everybody pick up their training swords, please - I said training swords. These ones here. Yes, I know that katana you're holding is a more effective weapon than the one I have given you, but it isn't suitable for a child. Where did you get it from? We will not be using it today! Put it away right now.
Please look at these straw dolls that I have set up. Now imagine that they're big monsters with claws and sharp teeth and they're coming towards you. That's what you're going to be up against. I know it's horrible, but you have to get used to it now and then it won't be scary when you see a real one. There's nothing to be frightened about. If we really get attacked, I will make sure nothing happens to you. Now pretend the monster is coming towards you. So stand here, we'll hold our swords like this, and then - yes! That's very good! A little overenthusiastic, though. You should be more careful with your body parts now that you're, um, undead ... see, I did warn you. Don't worry, we can fix this. Stand still for a moment and I'll help you put your arm back in. Actually, I'm not so sure it's going to work. Just carry on with one arm for now, please.
I think that after that little accident we should take a break. We can eat some of the cookies now. Here you go. Did everyone get a cookie? They're delicious, aren't they? If anybody wants a napkin, I have some over here - Wait, don't cry! I didn't think you would be so touched that I baked something for you. I can't hug you all at the same time, you know ... Why are you spitting your cookies out? They're a little bit crispy, maybe, but they still taste great! I'll show you. Look! Lovely cookies -
... It seems that some people have broken their teeth. I think we should take the afternoon off.
