Agatsuma-san and the other brat are here now. What fun~

It's snowing~ Yasei doesn't like it. I do though.

Hey Aerith! We should go get some hot chocolate while the snow is still here~ It will be really nice, don't you think?

Maa. I also need to go to the mall. I have no presents bought yet.

[Private to Kouya]
I haven't heard from you lately. I wanted to make sure you were okay.

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Yamato is rather tall for a Japanese girl, standing at about 5' 6". She is somehow thin, despite her massive intake of sweets. She has a very large chest, something she loves to make other people uncomfortable with.

2. How old is she?
She's 17.

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?
Yamato actually has rather good posture. She holds herself well, though her mannerisms keep that from ever making her look sophisticated or regal.

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Despite the fact she should probably forever be in a sugar coma, Yamato is incredibly healthy.

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Yamato's movements are rather fluid, but not in a truly graceful manner. Her movements are, instead, rather playful, flirtatious, and whimsical.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?
Yamato isn't exactly the epitome of beauty, not to say she's ugly. She is simply a rather simple girl. However, she knows how to emit sex appeal.

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Yamato is on the paler side. Her body is also littered with scars from her fighting and own personal self-mutilation.

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style.
Her hair is blond, falling to about her shoulders. It is layered in a slightly chopping manner. Her hair has a normal texture, not overly course or dried out, but likewise it isn't incredibly soft or silky.

9. What color are her eyes?
Yamato's eyes are a pale, slightly icy blue.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
As previously stated, she has a large chest that she is rather proud of. She also has the previously mentioned scars, though those are easily hidden under her clothes. With the disappearance of her name (the zero on her chest) she is left with no other notable features.

11. What are her chief tension centers?
Yamato holds tension in her lower back, not that anyone would ever know that she retains tension anywhere.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?
Despite Yamato's flirtatious manner, she typically prefers to cover up on top. However, she does love tighter clothes. She's not discriminatory between skirts, pants, and shorts. Whatever seems appropriate for the weather and occasion she will wear. She likes flat shoes, and when wearing skirts, she like baggy socks. When dressing up, Yamato goes for revealing and a certain wow factor. She likes to stand out when the occasion is right.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?
Yamato prefers tight shirts, but they always fit, covering everything. She's not much for tight clothing on the bottom, though, preferring to be able to move around. She hates being restricted, so she tends to go for more comfortable clothes.

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?
Yes, she dresses about the same.

15. You knew it was coming: boy shorts, thongs, panties, or commando?
XDD Commando, so much. If she's wearing skirts, then thongs more often then not, though sometimes she'll wear normal panties.

Speech

Yamato's voice is neither high nor low. It's about in the middle, though leaning more toward high than low, and very smooth.

Yamato's speech is very teasing, always having a light tone with few exceptions. She speaks very easily, almost never hesitating.

She fluently speaks Japanese.

5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Nope.

6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words?
Hm... impromptu speaker sounds too proper, and she is anything but. However, she easily speaks with others, quickly coming up with responses and always has something to say. Talking comes to her as easily as breathing.

7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Eloquent... I wouldn't use that word, but, as previously stated, she never has a shortage of words. This seldom changes. However, there are circumstances to cause a change. Such things include situations like what she was in for about a month, one of constant worry and exhaustion.

Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart?
Yamato isn't dumb, though she isn't particularly book-smart. She prefers to leave that to Kouya. She is, however, rather street smart.

Yamato is a fox man! Thinking of her feet!

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Yamato prefers not to worry others and keeps all negative thoughts and feelings inside. However, she is a bit idealistic in action, though inside she knows better. She's more intuitive than logical.

4. What kind of education has the character had?
Yamato should be in her senior year of high school at this point, but, obviously, she is in Salkia. So, she has most of a high school education. She also knows all about fighting units, being raised at Septimal Moon.

5. What are her areas of expertise? What, if anything, is she interested in learning more about?
Yamato would love to learn to bake properly; however, her cooking skills are atrocious. She's a great person to be around when you are depressed, however. She knows how to cheer people up. She's a marvelous people person.

6. Is she an introvert or an extrovert?
Haha, extrovert so hard.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Yamato is very laid back and flirtatious. She teases everyone, but that's just a sign she likes you. Or doesn't like you, lol. She's very casual and seems to have no concerns or worries most of the time. When she does appear worried or upset, you know the world has hit her hard.

8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Yamato is a people person, talking to new people all the time. She's very playful with them, teasing and nice.

9. Is she more likely to act, or to react?
Yamato is more likely to act than react. She hates sitting around doing nothing.

10. Which is her default: fight or flight?
Hm... I would say fight, which is foolish considering she isn't even technically a sacrifice anymore.

Meeting Kouya and the loss of her name.

14. What does she fear?

15. What are her hopes or aspirations?
Yamato simply wishes to live happily with the people she cares about.

16. What is something she doesn't want anyone to find out about her?
She hates to let people know that anything is wrong with her or bothering her. She is the backbone, she is the support. Things cannot appear wrong with her, for then how will those around her know that things will be okay.

Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with her parents.
Yamato doesn't technically have parents. The closets thing would be Nagisa, who created her. Yamato is not particularly fond of Nagisa-sensei, as Nagise has never been very fond of her.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Technically, her siblings could be considered Youji, Natsuo, and even Kouya. However, they were not raised as siblings, nor do they share the same blood, or even the same last name. For this, she has no siblings to speak of.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand?
She has no true blood relatives.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom she considers part of her family? What are her relationships with them?
Yes. She now has Alice and Ritsuka, who she considers to be something like younger siblings. Birkin has become somewhat of a father figure, the relationship gaining such definition due to their run in with the Tyrant on Halloween.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Yamato doesn't exactly have a best friend now-a-days, it having previously been Kouya. However, with the strain between she and Kouya, she has no one, particular best friend.

Yes. She has Alice, Ritsuka, and Birkin. Aerith has also become somewhat of a good friend, as the flower girl has been there many times for her.

7. Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people?
Yamato has no real troubles making friends. She's pushy enough that most everyone she talks to becomes at least somewhat of a friend. However, very close friends are difficult as she lets so few into her thoughts.

8. Which does she consider more important: family or friends?
To her, friends are more important as they become something of a family to her. She has no true family to speak of.

No.

Yamato looks for someone who she can be herself with. Who supports her and who she can support. She looks for a true partner.

She has no children, and while she likes kids to an extent, she has no real want for any of her own.

No enemies, per say. However, Youji can drive her nuts and is about as close as she gets to a rival.

I would say a 6, and if not that then a 5.

16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her?
Sex if fun, lol. However, were she in a relationship, she would never stray from her significant other. Other wise, it doesn't particularly matter whether she has it or not.

She's living in an apartment now, rooming with Chidori. She's kind of bummed she's no longer in a house. However, her roommate isn't around often, which allows her almost full roam, along with her cat Yasei. It also allows her to have people over pretty much whenever.

Her cat XD And sweets.

The Thirteenth Restraint

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 06:49:35 GMT

They're both back... I'm really glad. /private

Man, I'm not in a house anymore. I barely got to enjoy it. Oh well, at least Yasei was moved with my stuff. I'm rooming with someone named Chidori? Nice to mee you! I'm Nakano Yamato. Hope you like cats.

I know we have a lot to talk about. You mentioned meeting up a little while ago, and I'm still up for it. Just let me know when and where. /private

Kouya... we should really talk. /private

The Twelfth Restraint- [Video]

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:32:30 GMT

[Yamato's kitten Yasei is seen playing with an odd looking cat on the table in Yamato's kitchen.]

So I have a pokemon... How weird. Kind of cool though. And it's nice for Yasei to have a playmate.

[Yamato's hand comes into the screen to scratch Yasei behind the ear. Meowth looks put out and turns to look at Yamato, who isn't in the picture.]

Meooowwwth...

[Yamato laughs and starts petting the meowth. Yasei watches for a moment before pouncing Yamato's hand and the meowth.]

Hey! Play nice!

[The LP shuts off.]

The Eleventh Restraint

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:12:22 GMT

Kouya has gone missing.

OOC- Relationship Chart

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:29:50 GMT

Sakagami Kouya: Kouya and Yamato were lovers until Kouya “cheated” on her with Zero due to the consequences of not participating in the ring event. Due to the distress caused by finding this out, Yamato got rather sick and eventually lost her memory of her time on Salkia Island. When she finally met with Kouya again, she learned Kouya had feelings for someone else, and the two parted on not so great terms. Currently, while Yamato still loves Kouya, they are not together.

William Birkin: Birkin is something of a surrogate father to Yamato. Or so she assumes. He has admitted her to be something of a child figure to him, and Yamato is willing to accept that position as she doesn’t know what it’s like to have a father figure in her life. The only parent she has ever known is Nagisa-sensei, and she definitely thinks Birkin is better than that.

Alice Liddell: Yamato sees Alice as somewhat of a little sister. She greatly enjoys spending time with her and talking with her, though she also feels the need to protect Alice from the unpleasantness of life. She also enjoys lightly teasing Alice.

Aerith Gainsborough: Yamato finds Aerith completely adorable and incredibly sweet. She greatly appreciates Aerith’s offer to help Birkin after he infected himself with the G-Virus, and Yamato was taking care of him. She would really love to get to know the flower girl better.

Aoyagi Ritsuka: Yamato loves Ritsuka as something of a little brother. She worries about his well-being quite often. She knows she can’t do as much for Ritsuka as she would like due to Kouya and Youji, but she’s okay with that. She’ll do what she can.

Sagan Youji: Youji is one of the brats. Yamato realizes he’s just a kid, though he can grate on her nerves sometimes. The thing that annoys her most is when he’s supposed to be looking out for Ritsuka, and he fails to protect him. Still, she gets concerned over him as well.

Kiryuu Ichiru: Yamato has never actually met Ichiru face to face, but she has spoken to him and she knows he is the person who currently has Kouya’s heart. She has very mixed feelings about him. She isn’t fond of him because he took Kouya’s heart from her. She also thinks he’s an idiot for rejecting Kouya. If she ever met him it would be awkward and not particularly pretty.

The Tenth Restraint

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:45:52 GMT

I probably should have said this earlier, but I'm going to need off from work for awhile. Can't say for sure how long.

[Private to Kouya, pretty hackable]
I hope you're doing okay.

The Ninth Restraint

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:48:14 GMT

I'll be in my house. Don't know when I'll have time to come out.

If anyone is looking for Birkin, he's with me.

The Eight Restraint - [Video]

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:19:11 GMT

Yes! This island actually got something right!

[The camera focuses on Yamato's costume.]

Looks like I'll blend in with the new creatures on the island just fine~

The Seventh Restraint

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:33:56 GMT

I hope everyone likes them.

[[OOC: Congrats Kouya, Ritsuka, Birkin, and Youji, you all get Yamato's donut attempts. She left them on your doorsteps. Those that are away might be lucky on that front because while some are good, it's a very small amount, mostly there are ones that look really good but are totally under cooked and ones that will break your teeth.]]</i>

The Sixth Restraint - [Accidental Video]

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 03:55:02 GMT

[The kitchen is a wreck. There is flour and batter all over the stove, cabinets, counters, walls, you name it, it is covered, Yamato included. She is wearing an apron, currently looking in the oven.]

Maaaannn, I hope these turn out for the tea party tomorrow. What do you think, Yasei?

[A fuzzy brown, black, and orange tabby with a white belly suddenly appears in the screen, sniffing the LP. It raises a little white paw and knocks the LP over.]

Yasei!

[Rustling is heard at the camera stares up at the ceiling, kitten appearing to stare down into the lens. Suddenly the kitten is yanked away and the LP shuts off.]

[[OOC: Yes, Yamato got a kitten. I will have a picture later when I am not lazy, lol, but it's a crazy little thing named Yasei (which... apparently means wild?). Also, she's trying to make donuts. Some will be sent to others as well. So yeah.... Yamato is trying to keep busy because heartbreak sucks.]]

The Fifth Restraint

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 23:28:37 GMT

My name... It has disappeared again.

The Fourth Restraint- Locked from Kouya

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:39:12 GMT

Well, looks like I'm on my own for a bit. And just when I get my name back too... I guess it's what I deserve for forgetting.

The Third Restraint - [Video]

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:15:31 GMT

[Yamato is sitting in her house, as if a massive fire is not going on just outside.]

This star can grant one wish, can it?

[She stares at the star, expression unreadable.]

I wish to be Zero once more.

[The star disappears, and no sooner does it happen than Yamato lets out a small, pained gasp, right hand covering just over her left breast. She blinks. She tentatively unbuttons the top of her shirt and looks down. The zero that represents her name is once more in place.]

The Second Restraint- Video Post

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:31:46 GMT

[Yamato is standing in what appears to be a living room.]

Hey, has anyone seen a girl with short black hair, glasses, probably wearing some ridiculous fake ears, and about this tall?

[She holds her hand at the level of about her chin.]

She goes by the name of Kouya. Kinda surly too.

System Reset- The First Restraint

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 02:55:34 GMT

[L337POD crackles to life, rows of static running down the screen briefly before the picture clears. Nothing of particular interest seems to be the focus. It is quickly turned around, and Yamato is seen. She inspects it curiously, drawing the camera portion to her eye, giving a nice close up. She pulls it back.]

What is this thing anyway? And just where am I anyway?

[[ooc: For those of you don't know what's going on with Yamato, refer to this.

The Third Restraint

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 21:23:37 GMT

A masquerade, huh? Sounds fun~

[Private to Kouya]
Kouya, if you don't get too hurt in the fight we should go together. If you get hurt though... I won't go. I'll stay with you and take care of you.
[/private]

[ooc: If she goes here's her dress and her mask.]]

The First Restraint

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 06:33:37 GMT

Well this is interesting~ Not sure how I got here, but that's okay. So long as there is no Nagisa-sensei around~

And wings! Wonder if they're permanent... I wouldn't mind that.

Hey Kouya~ Want to go explore with me?

[[ooc: Yamato has pretty butterfly wings that are blue and black ^^]]

10/19/2008

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 22:47:03 GMT

Ah, it's getting quite chilly. It's refreshing. Though I may really want to look into getting some warmer clothes. I also think I may go exploring soon. This place is so weird, and I haven't even gotten the chance to look around. And Kouya seems much too preoccupied to join me, but that's okay. She's not much for adventures anyway.

Voice Mail

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:10:08 GMT

Heeeyyy~! It's Nakano Yamato! Leave a message, and I may just get back to you. At the moment though, playing with Kouya is more fun~

[[OOC: Everyone else was doing it >< But um.... if you want to log or plot or whatnot, feel free to leave a comment here. Can be ooc or ic, just let me know which in the subject or something so that I can reply accordingly.]]

9/07/08

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:49:12 GMT

I've upset Kouya... I've done so many things to drive her away. *places hand over her right breast* First I lose my name. I don't belong to her anymore. I wish I did, but I don't. Nagisa-sensei was right. I'm useless...

Dream 9/01/08

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 16:39:27 GMT

So this is all a dream, eh? Haha, this should be pretty amusing then.

Kouya and I met the most curious of men. I'm not even sure how to begin explaining this Suoh Tamaki, other than he runs the risk of being beaten up by Kouya if he calls her maiden again.

And I'm glad Kouya is here... If she weren't... We can finally be together with no interference. Although I hope our selves back home have the same luck.
