[OOC] Summer Camp Invasion
Character: Miyako
Series: Hidamari Sketch
Age: 15
Canon: Looking for a series where the author inserts herself as a strange Metapod-like creature? You've come to the right place.
Hidamari Sketch (also known as Sunshine Sketch, in the English manga release) is a slice-of-life series about four adorable art students and their adorable adventures in high school. Yuno, Miyako, Hiro, and Sae are all living on their own in the Hidamari Apartments, literally across the street from the high school they attend. The series follows this inseparable quartet as they do homework, travel, play, get sick, receive love letters... and basically live out a normal (and incredibly cute) high school life.
When you first meet Miyako, your initial impression will probably be of a girl who was off playing hide-and-seek the day they handed out impulse control. But spend some time with her and you'll see that... she's... actually like this all the time. Miyako is energetic and irrepressibly cheerful -- only her perpetually empty wallet can make her spirit flag, and that's only until the next distraction comes along. She's a good friend, kind and affectionate, but with a mischievous streak a mile long that you'd better watch out for. And sometimes she can be just plain weird, as befits someone living in an apartment complex known for attracting strange art students. In the end, Miyako is a goofball through and through, but she knows when she needs to be serious.
Meal time, for instance. Food is Serious Business.
Sample Post:
Yahoo! Summer camp, banzai! This's gonna be the best summer break ever! I'm gonna get to camp out, take a canoe out on the lake, tell horror stories around a campfire... Like that one about dropping your poor meatball. What a tragic tale! That meatball never did a bad deed in his life, and just when he was finally going to achieve his dream of being eaten...! Anyway! And then we'll eat s'mores and go out hunting for snipes and find dead bodies like that one and -- hang on a second.
Uwah, it really is a dead body!! So summer camps really are like all those slasher flicks! But that's so unfair! They started without me! How am I supposed to win the hearts of the audience when I come in halfway through the -- holy cow, it's moving! You... You're not a dead body at all, are you? You're a -- a zombie! Oh, man, that's way cooler than a serial killer! Yunocchi and everyone will never believe this! Hang on, I've gotta get a photo! Wait, I don't own a camera. Okay, okay, hold still! I'll sketch you!
Hmmm... No, no, I'm sorry, this just isn't working. No, it's not your fault! Your pose was perfect! But every time I make some progress, another bit of flesh falls off your face and I have to start over. Looks like it's gotta be a camera after all... Alright, then, I'll just have to find one! Time to begin Miyako's Grand CameraQuest™! Hey, zombie, you want to come along and be my first party member? ...I'll take that "brains" as a yes! Let's go!
♪ In Louisiana
All covered with mud
Made friends with a zombie
And what rhymes with mud~? ♫
Ah, there's someone alive! Hey! Hey, I need your help! What rhymes with mud? Oh, and also, where can I get a camera? Oh, and also, I'm hungry... Does the mess hall start serving dinner soon? I'd just buy something at the canteen, but I've only got a few hundred yen to last me until --
Wait, what was that? The mess hall has free food all day? You mean, like, totally free? To eat?
This is the BEST SUMMER CAMP EVER.

And coming in at number 90.4%: Miyako!
