[OOC] Quick Lazy Blurb
May. 19th, 2016 12:22 amGeneral Description: Eri is an athletic young woman with long, wavy, red hair, big brown eyes, and light skin. She's roughly 5'5", about 120lbs, and lightly muscled from frequent exercise. For the most part, she looks more Japanese than Caucasian; the only real giveaway is the red hair. She has an oval face, high cheekbones, a pointed chin, a button nose, and long thick eyelashes.
There's a graceful, bounding quality to most of her movements, almost as if Eri is galloping through life. Her body language tends to be restless, as if she's uncomfortable sitting still. She's often fidgety, sometimes to an obnoxious degree, the type who's always tapping her foot, fingers, pencil, etc. It's rare to see her completely at rest. As a result, she often looks a little tense.
Eri has some faint, minor scarring on her hands, elbows, knees, and feet from the odd childhood accident growing up. She also has a small brown birthmark in the hairline of the nape of her neck.
She looks closer to sixteen than eighteen with her youthful, innocent looks. She seldom sticks to just one hairstyle and can be found wearing her hair in ponytails, twintails, braids, hair buns, and sometimes quirky combinations of all of the above. She's a big fan of accessories - ribbons, bows, barrettes, scrunchies, etc.
Given the opportunity to do so, Eri dresses in cute, "weeaboo" clothing as part of embracing her heritage, so hoodies with cat ears or shirts emblazoned with anime characters or cartoon mascots are common. She also wears a lot of imported shirts with strange or inappropriate Engrish on them. For the most part, her shoes are of the casual, comfortable, athletic variety, chosen more for practicality.
In general, Eri's voice is a peppy, animated, mezzo soprano. Occasionally, she can get loud but for the most part, exercises proper volume control. Given a choice in the matter, she smells faintly of vanilla and soap.
Personality: Outwardly, Eri is cheerful and energetic, approaching life with an almost childish enthusiasm and wonder. At first, she seems to be a very positive, outgoing, and friendly person who makes and keeps friends easily but upon much closer examination, cracks appear in that, revealing her facade for what it is and displaying a much darker undercurrent to her personality.
Those who manage to get closer to Eri, generally notice that she has a morbid sense of humor and a rather flippant nihilistic streak. It's not uncommon for her to laugh at serious, heavy subjects or make horrifying comments with a smile. It's not that she doesn't understand the gravity of situations or serious issues; she does with very keen clarity, often to a brutally cynical degree. She just accepts it as the way it is and adapts to that harsh reality rather than make an active effort to change it. In her mind, the world sucks, relationships are transient and inconstant, and it's better to accept it and move on than fight against it. She has a somewhat hedonistic approach to life. Her basic motto is to enjoy the good people and times while they last and not waste her time shedding tears or looking back once they come to an end. She's very focused on the present and the future.
History: A Japanese-American girl from New York City from a broken home. Her parents are alcoholics, her extended family is estranged, and her siblings, unwilling to stay in a toxic home any longer than they have to, have all left home and become wrapped up in their own lives. Due to parental neglect and a general lack of strong connections with people, Eri has grown up to be fiercely independent and autonomous but at the cost of her self-worth. To escape her generally shitty home life, Eri's taken refuge in occult interests – odd rituals and games, ghost hunting, as well as various internet hobbies. At some point in high school, screwed up a ritual and cursed herself to be a gateway to the spirit world.
Presently, she is a recent high school graduate on her way to college.
Powers: Eri is a powerful psychic and medium.
