http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuragehime[personality] Tsukimi is a girl who has many issues, and at the same time, many redeeming qualities. She is sweet and honest and kind, and truly cares about the people in her house and even Kuranosuke. She cries easily at memories and loved her mother with a deep passion. It was this love for her ill mother that started her obsession with jellyfish. When her mother brought her to a jellyfish aquarium and promised that she would one day make her a dress like the frills on the jellyfish before them. After that moment Tsukimi became utterly entranced by jellyfish, and would think of nothing but the jellyfish. She knows every species and genus and their habits and how to take care of them. She draws beautiful portraits and paints jellyfish, and lives and breathes them. She even risks her biggest fear (stylish men) to save Clara, her now pet spotted Jellyfish. She is genuinely cheerful when around her friends and loving and sweet, but at the same time she has some seriously crippling issues.
First of all, she is Otaku. Her obsession with jellyfish is borderline insane, and she is terrified, like the other Amars, of the stylish and the ‘mainstream’ world. She considers herself hideous and terrible and beats herself up about her short comings, quite literally. She will get into such a state of self loathing that she will beat her head into a table or wall or have a visible fit of horror from over thinking situations. She lives of the stipends her father sends her and the little bit of money she makes from playing assistant to Mejiro. When around Kuranosuke in his female clothing she seems perfectly capable of talking to him and being around him, but the moment she found out he was a guy, or he walks in on some kind of situation she finds mortifying, she reacts as if he had suddenly became a blood thirsty bear. She constantly asks for him to leave, even though the Amars all seem to be pretty ok with ‘her’ being around. Tsukimi isn’t the type to be loud or pushy about anything (other then saving Clara) so she takes him with a grain of salt as well. The only time you can tell she doesn’t perfectly enjoy his company is when he is trying to make her up. At that point her flight instincts kicks in and she tries to escape.
If she is dealing with anyone outside that circle of amars she doesn’t meet their eyes, talks softly, stutters, or if she gets her will up really strongly, rambles off in a breathless monotone that could easily freak out the un…freak…outable… you know what I mean. When surrounded by too many stylish people she turns to stone, incapable of doing anything but sit there uncomfortably and wordlessly. In short, Tsukimi has problems. But somehow she is endearing despite them.
[orientation] Straight. Despite her issues talking to men and the house rules about having men around, Tsukimi shows obvious interest in Shu and seems to have a bit of a crush on him. On the other hand, she does not show any interest in any of the girls in the series. Even though dealing with the sex issue might be a hard point for her in any situation, she’d definitely prefer a guy over a girl.
[appearance] Tsukimi is shorter, a little round in places, with large lips, freckles, horrendous eyebrows, and glasses. Her hair is thick and normally held back in braids with some clips shoving her bangs back. She dresses plainly, in sweat suits and sneakers and other such things. In short, she’s not very attractive at all. She does not wear makeup, and actually is a bit horrified of being stylish, mostly due to the fact that she believes the sisterhood would reject her because of it, despite Kuranosuke’s attempts to dress her up nicely.
[wish] To some day become a princess like her mother would have wanted. (To her an impossible goal.)
[requested house] No Preference.
[misc notes] I’m going to request that she be placed as a secondary or servant position. Mostly because she would be a terrible, horrible entertainer.

[A jolt as she starts to shake the device in a panic.]
Please tell me what’s going on!
[sample 2#]
Her heart felt as though it was going to burst out of her chest. The way his fingers cupped her face, thin and feather light, she couldn’t move a muscle. A desperate squeak caught in her lungs, and she stared at him, open mouthed and wide eyed and crimson faced, incapable of doing anything but staring in horror as he leaned in and pressed a feather light kiss to her ear. W-What was he doing!? What was he!? Why was he kissing-!? The moment that light hair obscured her vision she crushed her eyes closed, fingers balling in fists as her brain started to shut down in blind panic. Up on her toes as she was, damn near crawling backwards up against the wall, she hardly had anywhere to go at this point, trapped in a cage of his arms.
“H-hi-hiiiyeee--!!!” A garbled, alien sound escaped her as she felt his hand catch on the part of her yukata, and she went from petrified to fluid motion in a second, hands moving from her sides to slam directly into his face, blood pouring from her nose as she shrieked and did what she had barely avoided doing previously. She climbed up the wall backwards to avoid his contact. “EYAAHHH!!”
