Character: Hirasawa Yui
Series: K-ON!
Age: 15-16
Canon: K-ON! is a show about nothing four girls who get together in the name of avoiding the dissolution of the Light Music Club, and form a makeshift band (it is also kind of about nothing, though). It's just a very fluffy, slice-of-life show that chronicles the friendship of the four girls and their slightly unreasonable goal of playing at the Budoukan by graduation. The characters are a tad archetypal: there's Mio, the bassist who is supposed to be the cool and collected one but is in fact VERY easily spooked and embarrassed; Tsumugi (or 'Mugi'), the rich and ladylike keyboard player; Ritsu, the loud and excitable drummer; and Yui, the idiot-savant guitarist.
Yui is clumsy and comes off as more than a little stupid sometimes, but it becomes evident soon enough that when she puts her mind to one thing, she can really excel at it. The problem is she is utterly unable to concentrate on more than one thing at once (i.e. playing her guitar and singing at the same time), and she has a very short attention span. She also has a bit of an overactive imagination with occasional delusions of grandeur. All that said, she means well and deep down she really wants to do well for the sake of her band, despite being so easily-distracted. She is enamored by sweets and cute things.
Sample Post:
Wow, this is a really impressive haunted house! Those zombies look totally real! Who'd have thought there would be a haunted house at the end of a dark alley? There was a sign that said something about abandoning hope but I ignored it-I saw a kitty, and it ran down the alley so I followed it! Why wouldn't I? If a cute kitty lives there, it can't be that bad, right? I should go down dark alleys more often!
Oh, but I was on my way to school, so, um... has anyone seen a little black kitty? I need to hurry up and pet it so I can get back on my way! I know they're supposed to be bad luck, but how can they be bad luck when they're so cute? I promise you won't get bad luck from it! Besides, if I leave without petting it, that would probably be bad luck! And if I skip school to chase a cat, my bandmates and I guess my teachers would probably be mad at me, which would also be bad luck, so, um...
-Oh, yeah, I'm in a band! Well, the light music club, actually! I have my guitar with me, see? I sing, too! I'm not so good at singing and playing my guitar at the same time, but I'm trying my best! You should all come to our show at the Budoukan when we make it big! Just tell them you knew the amazing guitarist Hirasawa Yui before she became super famous!
So, what's this haunted house called, anyway? It has to have a spooky name, right? ..."Seafood?" Is that really its name? It's not very scary, but I like seafood! Tuna is good! I'd prefer if it was called "Dessert," though! Mmm, I wonder what kinds of things Mugi-chan brought for snack time after school... mmm, cake... Ah, since it's the Seafood haunted house, are there people dressed as fish monsters? That would be pretty scary! I should remember that for the next school festival!
...Oh no, I lost track of time! If I'd known I was going to the Seafood haunted house this morning I might have gotten up earlier! Has anybody seen that kitty yet? -Eh? Is he really in your pants? That's kind of weird, but hurry and come over here so I can pet him, because I'm going to be late for school!
