Heyo, all. Second character for me here.
Name: Katsuyama Miyu
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Female
Grade: 12th
Appearance:
This is her usual attire, but she will be dressed in a formal yukata (to her annoyance) for more important family matters, such as matchmaking, or the annual family meeting. She also applies heavy make up on her face to conceal a thin, ropy burn scar that extends from under her left eye all the way to her right, across the bridge of her nose. This greatly attributes to her facade of a strongly independent woman, rather than her reality, a fragile girl with a precarious state of mind. She is thin and of an average height for a Japanese seventeen year old.
Personality
Miyu is a loud and boisterous girl whose self-inflicted insecurity is always showing wherever she goes. This is due to her extreme amount of insecurity and her misgiving towards developing any kind of relationships with anyone her own age. From a distance she comes across as rather haughty and a bit of a spoiled brat. And they would be partly right. She is sarcastic, high-minded, sophisticated in western styles and customs, and thinks of the ancient ways as digressive and as a whole useless. She also has developed a distaste for high-class suitors after a few initial mishaps.
Bio
Miyu was born into the wealthy Katsuyama family, whose connections reach everywhere from wine producing to a rumored connection to the Yakuza. She also happens to be one of the older inhabitants of the island in school, as the Katsuyamas have a summer house in the western district. Her injury to her face occured in that very house. She does not remember the specifics, possibly because of a will not to recall it, but it was obvious that her distaste of cooking skills was a direct result of the accident. It wasn't until middle school, when she began to develop early and gain a new appreciation for males as a whole, that she began wearing makeup over her scar. Mainly because the boy she liked had been repulsed by it, but as a general principle too. This unfortunately lead to rumors that she was selling her body at a young age. How exactly the gossip had been ignited there is no clear answer, otherwise her family would have taken action against the transgressor. This eventually she was simply cast aside as a whore up until highschool when she moved to Natsujima. Not much changed there either. People still ignored her for the same reasons and she gradually became less and less willing to try and change it. That was until she met Haruka. Haruka is the one person that Miyu has called friend in the last five years and is also the only person who might convince her to change her ways.

(FYI, Haruka is my third, and as of yet final, character. Also if you wish to link your character with someone else's be sure to run it by either myself or Snowy, and have the other person's consent. <3)
EDIT: We should be ready to start as soon as Sakura gets her bio edited. Look for a start on about Monday. <3
