Physical Appearance: She has a fully cherubic sort of face that holds a very sweet look to it. Her dark hair is a deep ebony color that's silky mixed with wire. It's medium length hair that reaches just a little bit below her mid back. Normally, she has it left down though it's also sometimes braided into two thin braids that frame her sweet looking face.
Her bangs hide a fairly big in her opinion forehead and she likes to swish her hair from side to side when she's got it. Kaida's eyes are almond shaped and very dark. Her irises are a dark chocolate color that almost blend in with her pupils. She's got thin eyelashes that surround her eyes but she attempts to make them look longer with use of mascara and eye make up. She's normally found fussing about her looks to make sure she looks nice. Kaida does what most girls to in order to look nice. She waxes her eyebrows, makes sure that her face is covered with foundation if she has a pimple, wears lip gloss to make sure that she's got smooth lips.
Kaida's nose is rather large but it seems to suit her face just fine. She likes it well enough even though she wouldn't mind if it was smaller or perhaps more up turned in oppose to bulbous near the end. Beneath her nose is a pair of full pink lips. Normally, her mouth is drawn up into a smile. Though her smile is a bit crooked and raises up to one side a little bit more than on the other when she smiles fully. Lack of great dental care in her home town has left her with not the world's best teeth. They aren't Hollywood white or super straight.
A steady diet of healthy foods keep Kaida in shape. She's got a very thin and delicate looking figure that's almost dollish. Coming from Japanese decent she's not a very tall lady. She reaches a very tiny height of roughly four feet and eleven inches. Because she's so thin she doesn't have much of a figure to speak of and could be described as a carpenter's dream. Though she's a demure girl and tends to wear clothes that can compliment her.
Kaida isn't the sort of girl found prancing around in outlandishly skimpy clothing and she tends to cover herself up to the best of her ability beneath pastel colored clothes or more earthy tones. She likes to wear dresses, skirts, and anything that looks good on her. She's notmally got some jewelry on her being.
LET'S GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER ' '
Personality Description: Kaida a sweet young woman. She's usually the first amongst her close knit group of friends who happily walk up to somebody and start to talk to them. Ever the extrovert, Kaida's the sort of girl who loves to be around a group of people and make friends with them. Though before she makes her friends she does her best to map out a person before she makes her move and decides the best way to approach them.
When she does make a friend with someone she'll stick to them like glue. When she cares about someone she will stop at nothing to make sure that they're treated correctly and she'll do all sorts of things for them. She's afraid of her friends leaving her and will do a lot to make sure that she keeps them happy. She does her very best to make her friends happy and appease them saying "no" is a very hard action for Kaida to perform. Though it shouldn't be a hard action for other people to perform especially around her. She's a spoiled girl and she's used to getting what she wants. When she's amongst her friends she expects them to treat her the way she's supposed to be treated; like a princess. She gets what she wants, when she wants, and how she wants it. She's special and should be treated that way. She supposes that she could be called over invested in her friends since she really cares about them. Because of that she can be hurt very easily if her feelings aren't reciprocated and if she's hurt by one of her friends it takes her a while to get over it since she tends to harp over things.
Though when her offending friend "comes to their senses" about how they need her or ask for forgiveness she won't readily give it. It's nearly impossible for Kaida to forgive somebody and she would much rather write them off than fight. Besides, she's extremely sensitive to conflict and tends to get upset over fights. Especially if she's the cause of the trouble. If put in a position to where she doesn't have to fight or do anything to make waves she won't. Kaida a pacifist by nature and doesn't like to inflict pain or fight against someone unless she really absolutely has to. She has a pretty soft demeanor and usually she keeps quiet and to herself. When she decides she likes someone she'll do their best to protect them. If that means that she'll have to lie to them so she won't hurt their feelings then she will. She hates it when people are upset and will often get all up in people's business if she thinks that she can help them out. If people are broken she'll try to fix them and has a tendency to believing that people need her and they just don't know it yet.
She's a genuinely cheerful young woman. Happy-go-lucky is the best way to describe her since she easily believes that everybody is really good. Kaida can be described as blindly optimistic since everybody is good until proven otherwise. Do unto others is Kaida's golden rule. She's a very trusting girl automatically believes people since she's rather naive.
If Kaida finds out that someone has lied to her or she's been used she will immediately feel her heart break! She wants to believe that everybody's naturally good and when her belief is shattered she cannot help but feel completely betrayed especially.
She's not the brightest crayon in the box and isn't very studious when it comes to any subject that doesn't apply towards people. She cold be potrayed as shallow and spoiled and she is but she won't admit to that.
When she finds somebody that she loves, which happens pretty easily if a guy's cute she thinks that they're destined to be with each other, she can be very tender and sweet to him. Even going as far to making things for him like hundreds of useless origami stars or cookies. She gets very territorial around him and can go off on whoever looksa t her man in a funny way not that she can realy do anything aside from look like an angry Pomeranian yapping at a stranger.

WELCOME TO MY LIFE ' '
Place of Origin: Ooshima, Japan
History:Goro was out fishing on that hot summer day when Kaida was born. It was the fishing season and the father of two had to make enough money to support their third child. It was a very normal summer day, it was hot and sticky along the island of Ooshima. It's a little island that most people couldn't even pick it out on a map, it's part of Kyushu down further South where most people don't even think of because the immediate thought of Japan is of Tokyo not of the tiny fishing village. Yusei and Seiko were outside playing ball with a few of the other children and Yuka was watching them fanning herself beneath the hot Japanese sun.
Most of the other women were out at the greenhouses, harvesting some of the best fruits and vegetables to be sold at the market. Yuka was in her rocking chair, fan in her hand as she waved air at her face. It was a beautiful day, she supposed until that all too familiar maternal pain from a baby that wanted to come out interrupted it.
Yuka had her oldest, Yusei go get her sister who was a few houses away to take her off the island. Ooshima was a very tiny island, there was no hospital, no doctor on it, they had to go to Hirado which was some time way in order to get to the hospital to give birth. The little island was abuzz with excitement it wasn't often they got a new child and they were excited to welcome a new life onto the island.
Yuka, her children, and her sister Sadako went to the boat that would take to Hirado. Yuka sat and rubbed her stomach as she clenched her eyes thought about a nice hospital bed. It took a while for them to make it to the hospital, after they left the little boat they had to take a quick walk to the hospital. Sadako was worried about her sister but she did her best to support her. This was Yuka's third child and she knew that walking would be good for her.
When they made it to the hospital roughly ten minutes later they checked in and Yuka walked around the hospital. Up and down the halls for an our or two as her contractions got stronger. This pregnancy was different, she could tell. Though Yuka did her best to not worry about what could go wrong or anything negative as she didn't want her negative thoughts to go to her baby.
Later that evening, Yuka gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Any doubting that she had washed away as soon as she held onto her little girl. Kaida was her first girl and her last child. After re cooperating in the hospital, the Mizushima family returned home. It was different for the Mizushima boys to not have the full attention of their mother. They were both close in age and Yusei couldn't remember his little brother getting more attention when he had been born a year later. Though now the both of them were old enough to know that the tiny pink thing that had invaded their home would take up their mothers time.
Kaida hung onto her mother almost all the time, her mother clung back to her happily. Yusei and Seiko accepted the fact that their mother had a lot on her hands now and they discovered that they could get away with doing more things with Kaida distracted their mother. The seasons changed and the head of the Mizushima family returned from sea, the fisherman Goro was elated to have his daughter and they knew that their family was complete.
The youngest Mizushima had a very normal childhood. She grew up happily and healthily on Ooshima. The children and women were left alone during the spring and summer months when the men went out to fish. Kaida never complained though, she'd tail behind her mother and help her pick fruits and vegetables from the greenhouse and they'd go out to the other islands to shop and pick up her brothers as they started to go off to school. She refused to eat fish which caused a problem for the family. She told her daddy that he should get a new job and leave the little fish alone. Though he loved his daughter he needed to maintain his livelihood and would always go out to the sea to fish.
Kaida loved having the time alone with her mother and her mother ate it up. Yuka spoiled Kaida endlessly dressed her up, buying her whatever she wished, and no matter what Kaida did Yuka made certain that Kaida was coddled. Yuka and her sister Sadako would happily watch Kaida. Though as she got older she would have to leave her mother and aunt to go to school. That was all right with Kaida though since the school was only a few minutes away from home and not a very far walk besides the other children were there.
Ooshima wasn't a very big island and the few children that were there were mixed in together. Since her brothers were also there it made it more like home than like a chore. Kaida was a fairly bright little girl but she liked watching the other students a lot more than listening to her teacher and learning about what two plus five meant.
As the Mizushima children got older they had to travel to Hirado in order to go to middle school. Yusei being the oldest was the first to take the ferry to the other island and left his two little siblings behind. Kaida being the youngest knew exactly what to expect when she was old enough for middle school but she didn't want to leave her island. Seiko was the next to leave and their little classroom grew smaller and smaller.
Her brothers would come back home when school was finished and they'd speak about their day as Kaida and her mother prepared dinner. It wasn't an exciting life but it was Kaida's. Everything would have remained that way had it not been on a fateful day. Kaida had been outside with her brothers, she wanted to go down to the beach of course they were on a very tiny island with only a hundred or so people there but she wasn't allowed unless someone went with her. Seiko and Yusei were tired of their baby sister getting everything and refused her request. At which point she got very angry at them. She started to stomp her feet and scream until---Her brothers saw her and screamed before they ran inside because instead of their temper tantrum throwing sister was a dragon out on the dirt road blubbering about how she never ever got what she wanted.
Everyone on their island knew about it immediately and the information spread like wildfire. Yuka called her husband who of course was shocked and retold the information to some of the other fishermen who worked on other islands and the information snaked towards more competent people.
The Mizushima family was at home; Everyone made sure to treat Kaida well they didn't want her to get angry. She was flipping through a magazine circling things that she wanted when a new boat came to port and people stepped out; foreigners. They marched straight to the old family home and they asked if they could come in. Yuka let them in and they told her that they would be taking Kaida. Kaida didn't want to go at first and she attempted to scare them off through intimidation and even shifting when she was taken out of the house. But the men weren't to be swayed, but Kaida wanted to stay in Pantheon she wouldn't be anything special! She would be just like everybody else. Kaida wasn't too happy being at the school but there wasn't much she could do. She was culture shocked and a bit unsure but slowly starting to like it. Maybe just a little bit.

ROLEPLAYING SAMPLE ' '
Barbie wasn't the sort of girl who would just watch something go down without getting herself into the situation. Maybe she was a busy body but it was how she managed to meet all sorts of interesting people. Barbie didn't witness people being slapped. She grew up in a fairly peaceful home and her parents never raised a hand to each other. The only time she had ever seen a man get slapped was on her soaps. She thought that perhaps they had been exaggerating on the crisp sound but it sounded just as awful in real life as it did in person. The poor dear, she thought to herself, poor thing.
Barbie wasn't about to let him sit over there and wallow by himself. That would just be cruel of her and she brought it upon herself to cheer him up. She thought that it would be best to have her there to make him feel a bit better. Perhaps, she was being a bit too bold but she just wanted to make sure that he was all right. As she settled herself beside him she prepared herself to become as supportive as possible. He didn't look at her at first and she felt a tad discouraged but maybe he was just upset? She'd be upset too if she'd been slapped.
Goodness gracious! He said something French to her! Mademoiselle, from Barbie's limited knowledge on just about everything she knew that meant Miss or something along those lines. Teehee, he called her Miss! The blonde girl thought that was positively adorable! Barbie didn't know how else she could possibly describe that aside from really adorable. Wide eyed she brought her hand up to her mouth as she let out a tiny giggle and bat her eyes a few times. Wow! He spoke French, that was the love language and he made it sound so--so what was the correct word for her to use? It sounded so darn beautiful! Mascara clad eyelashes bat a few times as she moved her hand down and she pressed her plump lips together.
He spoke and she couldn't help but be flattered by his words. Pretty words tended to sway her very quickly and she bit down gently on her lower lip. He forgot all about the pain because she was there! How romantic! Barbie smiled and she waved her hand. "Oh no, I'm not a nurse just concerned." That was true but Barbie concerned herself with almost everybody because she hated to see people in pain or upset. Normally both could be preventable and she liked making people smile. Especially if they were cute guys. Nurses did have really cute clothes though! If she was smarter she would have considered being a nurse but she was perfectly fine with being in home economics. Barbie did know how to tend to wounds though thankfully for him.
Now she was an angel? She thought that was adorable, he was just adorable he really was. He winked at her. Why was it winking boys were just so irresistible? She couldn't help but completely turn into mush when cute guys winked at her--whether it was cheesy or not Barbie just loved it. Miss Roberts brought her hand which was clutching onto her makeshift ice pack up to his cheek. Barbie tenderly pressed the pack against the offending wound. Personally, she'd never been slapped before but she couldn't help but believe that it really stung and probably stung his pride just a bit more. Though he didn't have to think about that anymore since she was there.
"Barbie, Barbie Roberts." Barbie reached to her drink with her other hand as she drank up the nonalcoholic drink as she then placed it on the counter once more. She bat her eyes a few times perhaps. Barbie inquired curiously with a sugary tone, "Does that feel better?" Her eyebrows knit towards each other in concern. She couldn't help but wonder what it was he had said to that harpy to make her mar such a pretty face. "Oh!" She cried. "I almost forgot, what's your name?"
What kind of name did he have? Was it a typical French man name? Maybe it was Jacques? Or maybe it was something more exotic? Barbie wondered where in France he was from? Maybe he was from Paris! Paris, how exotic how beautiful! She couldn't help but feel excited to just talk with him she'd never met anybody from France--she was assuming of course and didn't even think that he could possibly be from Canada or his accent could be from somewhere else the country girl only believe that he was from France. Though he had to have been from some place special like France he was too charming to not be from such a romantic place.
