Takeko Nakayama; That isn't a typo.

Name: Takeko Nakayama

Age: 15

Gender: Female
School/Occupation: Tenshihishou High School Class 1-B

Clubs: Archery Club

Interests/Hobbies: Love stories, cooking, reading in general.

Appearance: Takeko stands at a modest 160cm tall and weighs a light 47kg. She is somewhat skinny and has a modest bust, but she's not entirely scrawny either, as she exercises a bit to maintain her weight, which as a result caused a slight bit of lean muscle, though nothing too noticeable. She has blue eyes and wears her brown hair in two tails on the sides of her head that extend to slightly past her shoulders.

Her outfits usually tend to vary depending on the weather and chance, though she tends to wear brighter colors to go with her sociable personality. However, no matter what's in style, she will always wear something with pockets, and never carries a purse, as she's been lectured on purse-snatching.

Personality: Takeko is a pretty amiable, if somewhat energetic girl who makes friends somewhat easily. She generally enjoys hanging out with her friends, even if it doesn't lead to much actual activity. If you talk to her, she will usually try to listen, and though she might butt in with her own opinions occasionally, it wouldn't be of any ill will; rather, it would likely be of concern.

However, when you bring up the subject of romance to her, she starts to become very passionate. Takeko, to use a certain phrase to describe her, is "in love with love". She loves romance novels, and always likes to see how the couples she knows are doing. If someone she knows has a crush on someone else, she will encourage them to 'follow their heart' and let their love blossom into fruition.

On the subject of her own dating life, however, Takeko is a bit more reserved. She does not want to date someone unless she is sure that they are her soul mate, the perfect guy that she can settle down with so they can live a happy life in the countryside(or something to that effect, she hasn't quite thought out the scenario yet).

That isn't to say that love is the only motivation in her life. She does have a few hobbies, such as archery and cooking. Reading in general is also a hobby of hers, even if her favorite genre is romance. She also genuinely cares about her grades, especially her poor English grade, even though she isn't quite sure what to do with her life at the moment.

History: Takeko has had a pretty average life. She was born and raised in Kyoto, where her parents went to college, and decided to settle down. Her parents, Taiga and Mari, had told Takeko when she was young the story of how they had met and subsequently fell in love. It was a very heartwarming story which sparked Takeko's interest in romance. She started to wonder what her own love story would be like.

When Takeko was eleven years old, Daichi, her somewhat reclusive grandfather, had turned 65 and retired from his job as a history teacher at Tenshihishou High School. Her parents, worried about their father/father-in-law, offered to take him in. Daichi adamantly refused, which led to Taiga and Mari moving to Yumegawa's Kasuhayashi Ward to check up on him, much to Daichi's dismay.

Adjusting to the new city wasn't too hard for Takeko, especially since she was young enough not to be considered a 'kid from another school' when she was old enough for middle school. She started to get to know Daichi somewhat better, especially when she found out about archery, as her grandfather had constructed an archery range in his house on the countryside.

Recently, she has started to attend the same high school that her grandfather taught at, and wonders what kind of romantic happenings she would witness in the upper-teenage world. Unbeknownst to her, she would bear witness to other kinds of happenings instead...

Weapons/Equipment/Combat Skill: Takeko is skilled in the ways of the bow and arrow, and when prepared for combat, she uses her yumi: a very large bow that is over 2 meters in length. She is also slightly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, but she mostly uses it to put herself at a further distance from the enemy.

Initial Persona: Yue Lao is known as 'The Old Man Under the Moon' in Chinese folklore. He is said to have a book of marriages, which will predict which two people in the world will marry in their lives. He also has a pack of red string used to tie the feet of the couples he pairs.

The Persona Yue Lao appears below a large floating crescent-shaped moon. Yue Lao rests in a hammock that hangs from the moon and is constructed out of red string tied together. Yue Lao itself takes the appearance of an old man in elegant red and gold robes. Yue Lao's face is not visible, as it is blocked by a book, which is adorned with the Mars and Venus symbols interlocked with each other, that is held very close to the old man's face by one hand. In the other hand is a large spool of red string, the same used to construct the hammock.

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.
