HARDBOILED
Name: Emi Kashiwara (柏原 エミ)

Age: 17

Gender: Female

School/Occupation: Kasuhayashi High, Class 2-6

Clubs: Sly Fox Association

Interests/Hobbies: Emi’s always had a large interest in modeling and fashion and is always experimenting with some new style she’s thought up. Her main interests are gyaru and kogal fashion, but sometimes she plays around with other styles. On the flip side, she’s also the leader of a gang of female delinquents who hang around the underside of one of the many bridges in Yumegawa.

When one meets Emi, it would be hard to see her as a delinquent figure. She always keeps herself quite clean and wears plenty of makeup, though not enough to look unattractive. One of the easiest things to notice about her face is that she tends to wear thick eye liner. Her hair is bleached blond and usually tied up in a side ponytail, and she tans her skin lightly to contrast with it. Her clothes are usually simple, yet fashionable, and have lots of layers. During the summer she prefers tank tops and short shorts.

Like most of the girls in her gang, Emi modifies her uniform, but unlike them, she doesn’t lengthen the skirt. Instead, she shortens her skirt so that it only sticks out about an inch from under the jacket of her uniform and loosens her socks.

Personality: Emi is a very brash and honest person. She doesn’t like to hold back what she says and is often rather rude as a result. She’s an ambitious person and when she sees her chance to leap to the top, she’ll take it. She considers it important to care for herself and won’t take actions that are too risky or would harm herself if she can help it. She expects her orders to be followed and gets frustrated when she’s not listened to.

However, she deeply cares for her friends and comrades. Many of the actions she takes are for the benefit of her gang and so she can be a strong leader for them. The health of the gang is something she’s deeply concerned about and she’s committed several cruel and “senseless” acts just for the sake of keeping them strong. She has a hard time deciding whether her dedication to the group or to herself is more important, something she’s had more and more problems with recently, especially with how a modeling agency’s been scouting her out recently.

History: Emi was born to a low income family in the Kasuhayashi Ward of Yumegawa. While her family wasn’t as bad off as some of the people Emi went to school with, she nonetheless found herself frustrated with the situation she lived in. Her hand-me-down clothes, plain appearance, and frugal lifestyle gained her jeers from the other students at school. She grew to admire the ladies she saw in fashion magazines at the grocery store and dreamed of someday being a model, or an idol, or an entertainer or some sort. If she was rich and famous, then she wouldn’t have to care if someone didn’t like her, because other people would see her as someone to look up to and remember then.

In middle school, she joined a gang together with one of her friends, a quiet girl named Kanon. While the gang mostly consisted of middle school girls, it was led by an upperclassman of hers, Daisuke Hino. They weren’t respected too highly by the other gangs in the area and they had a hard time holding their territory. It wasn’t until late in her first year of middle school, when a girl from Osaka transferred into their class and subsequently joined their gang, that Hino’s gang really began to make strides in the area. The girl, Nana Samurakami, quickly took control of Hino’s gang and began to ferociously attack other gangs in the area. Emi grew to admire this girl and she became her left hand woman, while Kanon stood on Nana’s right.

In Emi’s third year of middle school, she began to question Nana’s leadership. Nana would always show up late after school, or sometimes not at all. They started to be beaten more in fights. But it wasn’t until Nana’s father was killed in a motorcycle accident that Nana completely disappeared. No one could find her, and none of the calls to her house were going through. With no leader, Emi knew that they’d be easy prey for any other gangs in the area. She began to worry what would happen even if Nana came back, because Nana was sure to be grieving and unable to make coherent decisions. An incapable leader was worse than none at all in this case.

With everything in mind, Emi decided to take control of the gang. She gathered a group of girls sympathetic to her, who had seen Nana becoming weaker and wanted her out and orchestrated her coup, kicking Hino out of the gang and convincing Kanon to support her over Nana. She began to make speeches on how Nana was a weak leader and coaxed the other girls in the gang into supporting her viewpoint. When Nana returned a week later, there was no resistance to Emi’s ousting of her, especially once Nana proposed breaking the gang up.

Now that she’s in high school, Emi has remained as the leader of the gang. Recently, she’s been scouted by a modeling agency who wish for Emi to become one of their models. As much as Emi wants this, she finds herself stuck between her responsibility to the gang she now leads and the fashion job she’s dreamed of since she was young.

Weapons/Equipment/Combat Skill: Emi’s been street fighting since she joined her first gang and has the skill to match. Fights with anything she can get her hands on, whether it be a metal pipe, or a bat, or a plank of wood. Prefers blunt weapons over bladed weapons.

EDIT: As of late, Emi's shown a preference for steel chains. Apparently she was inspired by an encounter with a certain "witch" in the backstreets of Sekaimoto...

Underlined text is in a different language... English, unless otherwise specified.
Regular old dialogue is supposed to be spoken in Japanese 'cause this RP takes place in the land of the rising sun, don'tchaknow.
