Background info on your character: [canon history/background and your character's personality, please!]
Born to an English mother and Japanese father, both of whom were involved with the Organization, it was no surprise that both girls became involved with them as well later on. When their parents had been killed in an accident, the Organization had made preparations for and sent Shiho to America to continue studying. Both herself and Akemi were later taken in by the Organization and given their respective work. While Akemi was much lower in the chain of command, Shiho soon found herself to be one of the top scientists working on their payroll and given the codename of "Sherry", further following in the trend of members receiving aliases that were based off of different alcoholic beverages. She was most useful when it came to the development of drugs and poisons. It had been pressed upon her to continue the research her parents started involving a drug that would kill whoever consumed it instantly without leaving any trace within the victim's body after passing - thus the creation of APTX-4869.
It was upon the sudden and unexplained death of her older sister did Shiho, in a fit of rage, rush the poison into testing trials. In the rare cases that the drug had reverted the test subject to younger/child forms, all notes in regards to it were kept hidden from the Organization. So when Gin and Vodka forced Shinichi Kudo to take the APTX-4869 they were unaware that the poison did not kill the high school detective. Shiho had questions of her own for the boy though so it was her that went and altered her file that organization on him declaring him to be dead. It was soon after that Shiho finally demanded to leave the organization. However, one does not leave this group alive. When it became apparent that they were going to kill her she took it upon herself to take her own life first. With the poison she had created, she took it when she was locked up in one of their facilities. Shiho turned out to be one of the few to have the age-reversal affect occur. Because of this it allowed her the ability to sneak out through the ventilation system and escape the Organization before they could even fathom catching her.
Alone, stuck in the body of a child and on the run, Shiho could think of only one person to turn to and that was Shinichi Kudo. But before she could find him Shiho collapsed in front of Dr. Agasa's house who just so happened to live next door to Shinichi. It was he who took her in and cared for her as she recovered. And it was Dr. Agasa who was responsible for the new name for her, "Haibara Ai", when she enrolled into the same elementary school as Conan. While staying with the Professor he allowed her full use of his equipment and lab to search for a cure for both herself and Shinichi, now going by the name of Conan Edogawa. When she revealed to him as to who she really was Ai had given Conan the false impression of being there to get him, not to mention him assuming that Dr. Agasa had been killed - but of course that couldn't be further from the truth. It was at the end of a Closed-Room Case did Ai reveal to Conan a side of her that is hardly ever seen. Breaking down into tears she begs of him as to why he couldn't save her sister what with all of his intelligence and skills. She had seen him in the picture included with the newspaper article standing over Akemi's dead body and had ever since wanted to know the answer. Of course Conan had no idea that they were related and was completely dumbstruck by this news.
In time Ai was soon brought into the Detective Boys group as their fifth member. And while it takes a while, Ai ends up growing rather fond of them, even though she doesn't show it very well. Still jaded by her past, it takes time for Ai to learn to trust others. From there she continues to live with Dr. Agasa while attending elementary school. When she isn't studying and working on an antidote while using Conan has her little test subject, she is with the group, mostly working to solve cases and getting into the usual trouble. Honestly. It is not a typical life for an elementary child with these kids.
As for the drug, APTX-4869, there has been progress over the series. On a few occasions Conan has taken it and reverted back to being Shinichi Kudo, but the effects were only temporary. There have also been cases when a certain alcohol, Baigar, that seems to have the same temporary reverting factor as the antidote-to-be. Such a time was when she had been kidnapped by a member of the Organization, Pisco, and locked in a wine cellar of a memorial gathering consisting of famous celebrities and politicians. Ai's body returned back to normal and while she managed to escape after finding some old janitor uniform to throw on, it was Gin who found her on the roof top. It came as no surprise when the Organization member shot her. Repeatedly. The only reason she managed to escape with her life was because Conan managed to arrive in time and distract Gin with an anesthetic needle so that she could climb back down the chimney into the building.
On several occasions she had warned Conan not to get too close to the situation. While she can understand and relate to his predicament, the fact remains that she understands the Organization a lot better than he does. If they were ever found out by Gin or any of the others, they would be killed as well as their loved ones. One event being when Gin and Vodka nearly tracked her down in the beginning when she was calling her sister's apartment to hear her voice on the voice mail message. At the time a different member of the Organization was being tracked down but it wasn't long before Gin caught wind of a rumor that she was at the opening of two towers in Tokyo. This nearly cost Sonoko her life because Gin had mistaken the girl for Sherry in the elevator because of her hair cut. Had it not been for Conan, Ran's best friend would have died. Counting the bus-jacking incident, this was to be another time where Ai was willing to commit suicide to protect everyone because matters looked grim by choosing to stay behind when the first tower was about to explode to ensure that the Conan and the kids would be able to escape safely.
But most notable was when Vermouth had discovered that Sherry was still alive. When an FBI agent known as Jodie tried to protect Ai (who was actually at the time of Conan in disguise), Ai had followed the cars with a tracer and the use of Conan's glasses. It was there that Vermouth had taken control of the situation and attempted to kill the girl. Had it not been for Ran and Vermouth's weak spot for the teenage girl, Ai would have certainly been killed that night. For reasons unknown to her Vermouth has not divulged the truth about herself and Conan to anyone in the organization which is causing her to worry even more. Matters don't help either when a new agent is activated later on, known only as Bourbon, whom the FBI have assumed to be targeting Sherry to locate her for the Organization.
Personality: Ai is jaded, pessimistic and all around not-trusting of so many people. Having worked for the organization ever since they could find use for her it's any wonder that she was even able to lapse into society again, especially as a child, upon her escaping them. The murder of her sister had been a significant event in her life and was what led her to seeking out Shinichi in the first place. She'll come off as snobbish and even being something a jerk when first meeting her. Just because she's stuck being as child, it doesn't mean that she can't be herself when around those who know of her condition. A grown woman stuck in the body of a child? Not the easiest transition to adjust to.
Regarded as the motherly-figure of the Detective Boys, she is often trying to keep them in-line or at the very least from getting into too much trouble. On more than one occasion she has regarded them as being too "childish" at times and yet she has found herself becoming protective of them. This new life of hers, while strange, is something she has found herself growing fond of. It is noticeable that she has grown close to Ayumi to where she allows her to address her as "Ai-chan". And in one case where the group, Dr. Agasa and some others were about to be murdered on the spot by a recently revealed killer, Ai took it upon herself to stand between the killer and Ayumi to protect her from being shot. Whether she'll admit to it or not, Ai would protect these new friends of hers which is why she is so determined not to be caught by the Organization. if found out, she would be killed as well as those now close to her. Having already lost her entire family, Dr. Agasa, Ayumi, Conan, Genta and Mitsuhiko are all the family she has now.
It can be noted though that she finds herself warming up a little to Ran as well. She had protected her when Vermouth found her out, shielding her body with her own to keep the Organization member from shooting the girl on the spot. While she distanced herself from Ran at first, Ai is slowly reminded of her own sister, Akemi, little by little whenever she is around Ran.
Sample post: (First person point of view, please. Otherwise, any format/topic is fine!)
I'm not the type to complain about a vacation, but I'd rather be told of it ahead of time. Especially when I have other things to be doing now. But just how I even came here would be the better question. This place doesn't look familiar to me. It seems like any other beach-- but going from a city to the beach? I don't remember the Professor mentioning any sort of trip.
No, this is ridiculous. I'm not going to get anywhere just by standing around and doing nothing. There has to be some reason behind all this. It isn't as if they could have done it. It's not their way at all and since it's not them, it's something else entirely. But then, who could have done this?
I will admit the scenery is nice and relaxing to see. Especially when it isn't involving dead people washing up on the sand. Still, it seems like I keep on finding more questions than I do answers, especially now. Maybe I'll be able to find someone here who can tell me where I am and what this place is. Looks like I'll be on my own for the time being.
... Now that I think about it, it just might be better this way.
