Hi everyone! It’s me, Kaysper again and bringing in Mitsuru Kirijo from Persona 3! (Portable version, Female Main Character route! Which is going to be a first for me, RPing from that route.)
My AU history/ideas are still intact from the Test Drive, and I’ve written them up over here! To summarize, Mitsuru still gets a false name, Michelle Chastain, is still a French-Japanese transfer student and on the school honor roll and fencing team… and is very much an illegitimate child and is an unnecessary complication for her family. She’s at the school to be out of sight and scandal, and to maybe prove she can be of some use.
I’m considering/have an eye out for CR that can: +Remind Michelle of her background: people who bake or partake in baked pastries remind her of her mother who is a chef in her fake memories. Michelle will have a guarded curiosity with these characters, due to the common interest they might share and the fact her mother’s baking is a fond false memory of hers. Those with strong business ties are going to echo her father’s side of the family, and said characters with business ties might have heard about some errant daughter from a Japanese business family. +Bring out her academic side! Cram/study sessions, familiar faces from class or the library, etc. Michelle has a strong presence in academics, and is known for getting top grades. Fellow academics draw her interest, either in the form of professional rivalry, or a shared passion in learning. If you want to say Michelle has helped a character study in the past, I’d enjoy plotting that out too! +Know her through school clubs. She’s a passionate fencer who has been rising through the ranks, and she’s often practicing at the club’s fencing ring. People who are in the club or have seen the competitions may know her through that, and be familiar with a fierce self-competitive streak she has. I waffle back and forth on putting Michelle in music club too; depends if anyone wants to pursue that as potential CR! +Can push her out of her comfort zone. Michelle doesn’t talk much about her family, and gets uncomfortable when the subject of families in genera is brought up. Characters can either intentionally be trying to find out why she’s so vague on her backstory (and is constantly writing correspondence to someone beyond the school) or be innocent in accidentally bringing up uncomfortable past issues. Envy for people with intact families does run in her, much as she might not want to admit it; as does sympathy for those in a similar situation. +FELLOW S.E.E.S. PEEPS, want to cause shenanigans with different backstories/CR than what’s been established in canon? I’m very much up for that.
COME AT ME with other ideas too! I'm open to discussing and plotting, even if I'm a little late commenting here.
