Even the things that repeat fruitlessly
Unrelenting people, mysterious people
I, who observe them, was included as well

[/center]Character Name: Tsuyujimo Yousei
- Means “frozen dew sprite.”
Senshi Name: Sailor Nikko
Age: 17
Birthdate: September 20
Personality: Yousei appears to be surrounded by an immense aura that repels people away from her. She has always been extremely introverted, reluctant to make contact with other people and responding shyly when others approached her. Since she awakened as Nikko, however, her demeanor has shifted dramatically. She is mistrustful of everyone around her and seeks to avoid any kind of physical or emotional contact. She constantly seems to be glaring at the people around her, and if she is forced to speak she does so quickly, with sharp enunciation but as little emotion as possible. Usually her cold tone of voice and generally avoidant demeanor keeps people away, but she gets the feeling that if someone were to push her past this point, she might lash out and attack them physically in order to drive them away. Fortunately for what remains of her consciousness, no one has had a strong enough fortitude to actually approach her this closely.
The only time she has experienced this need to physically harm another person has been with…that girl. There’s a red-haired girl that she runs into every so often during school and around town. This girl has never made any move to anger Yousei…yet whenever the two make contact, Yousei has the sudden irrestible urge to murder her a little. Sheer hatred wells up inside her, causing her nerves to tense up and her breathing to stop. It takes all of her mental willpower to keep herself from simply jumping on the girl and strangling her…and it scares her. As much as she enjoys being an antisocial ice queen that everyone either avoids or hates, Yousei is still sickened by the fact that she would actually try to kill someone else. She's always on edge afraid that her "ginger nemesis" might not be the only one that she will react to unfavorably.
The only time when she is truly at ease is when she visits the Memorial of the Fallen Senshi. For some reason or another, sitting amongst the statues of dead warriors releases the tension that builds up within her. She has been spending more and more of her free time there, using her temporarily clear state of mind to think and reflect on what is going on. It’s at this point that the original Yousei re-emerges; a girl who, while painfully shy and afraid of getting close to people, still wishes to thrive and interact with the rest of the world. She will watch the people walking through and around the memorial or just sit there, trying to piece together in her head what is going on.
Physical Appearance: Yousei is an albino; her skin is extremely pale, her hair is bone white, and her eyes are a pale lavender color. Her hair, when worn down, falls to the small of her back, but she normally wears it in a low braid secured with a dark blue scrunchie. She is also extremely farsighted and has to wear glasses almost constantly. She is 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds, with a plump but fairly undefined figure. She wears a B-bra, but the thick coats and sweaters that she usually wears at most point of the year cover up any semblance of a feminine chest. During the summer, when it is impossible to wear these coats, she switches to wearing long-sleeved blouses made of thin and breathable fabrics. She also prefers pants over skirts – she insists on keeping as much of her skin covered as possible.
Strengths: Yousei is very independent and self-sufficient. She can cook and clean decently, and can do most of the things necessary for day-to-day life as long as no one tries to strike up a conversation with her. She has a sharp and cunning mind as well; if she finds herself in an undesirable situation, she quickly has a plan to get out of it. She is also very good at controlling her emotions and her temper...which is a good thing, otherwise she would have snapped and attacked that red-haired girl a long time ago.
Weaknesses: Yousei has no clue how to respond to any sort of social situation. If someone approaches her for something as simple as a cup of sugar, let alone a casual conversation, she will withdraw from the situation or verbally attack them in order to drive them away. In her awakening as Sailor Nikko, she has sacrificed her empathy for people. Who cares if you want her help? If she doesn't want to give it to you, she won't -- and usually she doesn't want to, unless the person can convince her quickly enough that there's a benefit for her as well. Also, she harbors a mistrust for everyone around her...and mistrusts herself most of all. She has an incredibly low self-esteem.
Dreams: Yousei originally dreamed of acceptance; she wanted to find someone who wouldn’t tease her and would push her in the ways that now threaten to make her lash out…in order to make her become friends with someone. These days, she just wants to be left alone to her own devices. She also wants to find some way to settle the inner conflict she has with the red-haired girl…preferably by using the girl’s bad luck against her and killing her.
Habits: If Yousei is feeling particularly stressed by the apparent idiocy of people around her and isn't able to escape to the Memorial, she will drown her sorrows in food. She is constantly teetering on the border of obesity because she has to overeat to keep herself sane.
Background: Coming soon; expect stories of teasing and surprisingly early awakenings as a Senshi.

How Did You Find Us?: Bekuki posted about the revival of the RP on Tower of Time. The plot seems really interesting, and I’d like to play a villainous character.
