CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Himeko Inaba
Canon: Kokoro Connect
Canon point: Post-series; specifically after the events of Precious Time
Age: 17
History: Here.
Personality:
Inaba Himeko presents herself as what seems to be the "cool beauty", defined by her friends as an intelligent young woman who is calm, cool and collected when it comes down to it and essentially has everything together. She winds up practically being the leader of the club in spite of being the vice president because of this. After all, she's the one that makes sure that things get done and is also the one who finds herself leading the group; she's the one who calls meetings and making sure that the others aren't doing stupid things and is the one who manages to plan out things down to the letter.
She is, however, at times, to play along with other people's jokes, being the "straight man" of the group; in fact, she even sometimes willing to mess around with people if it means that she can get a bit of entertainment out of it, although it's never outright malicious.
However, all of this is just a well-crafted façade that Inaba wears throughout the first two volumes in front of everyone so people can believe that she has everything together when she honestly... does not.
This all boils down to Inaba's main issue: she finds it difficult to trust other people at all. It doesn't just simply boil down to just strangers, however; this also includes friends and family, too. It's because of this mindset of hers that she winds up pushing other people aside, wearing that proverbial mask so others can't learn that she actually sees everyone as her 'enemy'.
She acts confident in front of others - which can come off as sometimes a little crass - in order to bury her weaknesses; the only exception being when she's purposely polite out of necessity.
Inaba's struggles to trust others boil down to the fact that she is a very logical person to the point where she analyzes things a bit too much. She's also rather pessimistic, given that she says outright that she sees a lot of outcomes negatively - to the point where she sees the world in shades of black and white morality; seeing herself as 'dark' while her friends are kind in spite of admitting that there's no way she could possibly confirm that her friends are actually good people, given her personality. She also tends to keep a lot of her thoughts to herself instead of sharing it with others unless she has to because she doesn't like having people see right through her.
In spite of her struggles to trust people, it doesn't necessarily mean that she doesn't want to - she actually admits that this is a part of her that she loathes and actively wants to change but has problems doing so, given that she believes this side of her is normal. Later on, she admits that she was wrong, learning that she needs to change and grow in order to improve herself.
She manages to gain the courage to open up to others in spite of her fear of being looked down upon and being hated - revealing that she actually cares a lot about how others perceive her as a person quite a lot. But how she gets this strength is through the support of the others around her, reassuring her that everything will be alright in spite of her anxieties and worries.
When it comes to love, Inaba soon finds herself leaning towards her emotions over logic - even to the point where she states that she's changed because of it. Her feelings are shown rather openly; with her overflowing emotions revealing just how much she cares to the point of worrying over them.
While Inaba herself might say that she's quite selfish, the opposite is actually true. She's selfless to the point where she puts others over herself and even calculates plans to help the group out. She believes that the bonds between her, her friends, and the person she loves the most are important to her to the point where she selfishly doesn't want them to separate; she'll even make an attempt to push things in a certain direction, trying her hardest to be the glue that keeps everyone together. However, even though there's a lot that she would do for her friends - and even more so for those that she loves, she's actually rather steadfast towards her ideals. She isn't willing to compromise on what she thinks is right just because she loves someone; something that shows time and again.
Most times, Inaba tends to do her best at keeping her composure but there are many times when she actually gets flustered, especially when the right buttons are pushed. Inaba herself isn't used to hearing genuine compliments - basically, she can toss compliments at other people but she doesn't take it all that easily.
Powers/abilities: Himeko is a normal human being, which means all of her skills are mundane. She's a rather talented analyst that tries to figure things out based on her own personal knowledge and logic of the world around her; it's how she managed to deal with a lot of the phenomena that were thrown at her. And it's also because of that she finds herself easily adapting to strange situations.
It's also canon that she's rather skilled with technology, knowing how to build a computer from scratch and even knowing how to program.
Questions:
✽ What does your character consider to be their top three strengths?
Heh... you really want to know? Well, I'm pretty good with computers and my analytical ability. But as for my third one - well... let's keep it a secret for now.
✽ What do others consider to be your character's greatest weakness?
"Greatest weakness", huh... why, exactly would I share that information with you? That's something that's meant for me to know and for you to never figure out. Simple as that.
✽ What are your character's three greatest fears?
You really are trying to dig for crap, aren't you? You're not getting those answers out of me so easily. If you're trying to scare me, you'll have to try really hard to do that.
✽ What would your character choose for a last meal?
Curry. It's Taichi's favorite, so naturally, I'd choose something that reminded me of him.
✽ Has your character ever killed? If so, how did that affect them? If not, how would it affect them?
Of course I haven't killed anyone. Doing something like that... it's morally wrong. But I suppose if I had to - it'd have to be for a very good reason. how it'd affect me, though? I'm not entirely sure. I don't even want to even imagine it.
✽ If your character was given one selfish wish (eg. must be applied to themselves and not affect others), what would it be?
A selfish wish just for myself, huh... the most selfish wish would be to 'wish for more wishes', right? There's no rule that says I can't do that. Then I'd probably wish for money, maybe some computer parts... that'd be nice.
Sample: TDM thread!
ACCEPTED
Midway through spring break, your character will receive a ping on their PDA to let them know their homeroom has been updated for the new school year. Himeko's homeroom is now 3-B, her locker number is 100, and her student ID number is 756638. The inside of her left wrist bears the number 4 in tally marks, looking as if they were scratched into the skin. The marks are neither painful nor bleeding, but are sensitive to the touch, as if the skin is in the process of healing— and will never fully heal.
Please complete the following to be accepted into the main community:At some point during spring break if Himeko tries to open the student council room, she'll receive a ping on her PDA notifying her that she's gained 20 merit points. Touching the door handle again gains her 10 more points. Once more gains her 5 points. One more time gains her 1 point. After that, she doesn't receive any more merit points, and the door never opens. She may note that throughout spring break, while school is not in session, nobody else has been able to gain any merit points.
