Character Name: Wako Agemaki Canon: Star Driver Reference Link: Character | Series
Character History: Wako discovers that she is one of four maidens—girls who act as seals to prevent giant mecha known as Cybodies from being unleashed on the world—on her home island when she saves a friend named Sugata as a young child. As maidens are forbidden from leaving the island in order to protect the seals, Wako was forced to give up on her dream of being a singer. Although she was initially upset, she quickly dealt with her disappointment and managed to remain optimistic about her fate and burden—something that Sugata was unable to do, as he too was bound to island due to possessing the most powerful Cybody of them all.
She and Sugata became engaged, and the two of them grew up together on the island. One of her other friends, Keito, was also a maiden and also in love in Sugata. The two eventually drifted apart, but with Sugata and her other friends, Wako grew up content and well adjusted, satisfied with her life despite knowing that her dream could never be fulfilled. All of that is changed, however, when a young man named Takuto washes up on the beach. After giving him rescue breathing, she and Sugata quickly became friends with him. To her dismay, Wako found herself falling in love with Takuto despite already being in love with and engaged to Sugata. Worse yet, the Glittering Crux Brigade began to collect and break the seals of the maidens, which meant that Wako was in constant danger.
By the end of the series, all the maidens' seals have been broken, meaning that Wako is finally free to leave, yet the world has surprisingly not been destroyed. Wako ends up admitting to herself that she loves both boys equally, and whatever happens next is unknown because the show decided to end with the two boys floating in space together for an indefinite amount of time.
Personality: Despite being burdened with being a maiden and not being able to leave the island, she's coped with it a lot better than the other maidens and Sugata. Even with her dream ruined, she still remains upbeat and optimistic, dealing with her disappointment and growing strong from it while never giving up hope. Caring and empathetic, her empathy has her preferring to keep her struggles to herself, not wanting to drag others into her troubles. Yet if she trusts and depends on someone, then she'll have faith in them all the way. She's also fiercely protective of those she loves, and will unflinchingly fight back and do anything in her power to keep them safe.
While Wako may prefer to hide her worries behind a smile, her smile is usually genuine. She's lively and cheerful, loves food, and has a tendency to have wild fantasies. She likes to tease, although never maliciously so. She hasn't given up on her dream of singing, either, and sings often. While modest about her skill, she doesn't mind singing in front of an audience.
Writing Sample:
01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called? Wako, please!
02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform? No? I don't think I've ever thought about if socks were necessary or not.
03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking? I don't think I talk in my sleep, so eight hours. I could go for longer if there was a reason to.
04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you? Eheh. Not anymore.
05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate? Why an egret? Hm, how about a fox?
06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery? No. I'd help them instead. Even if I couldn't do much, I'd still try.
07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake? A spoon! Or a fork. You can eat cake with a lot of things, even chopsticks! —Oh, the cake was an example. In that case, anything that gets the food to my mouth is all right with me. I'm not very picky about that sort of thing.
08. Do you trust yourself? Yes. Sometimes, for the things that matter most, you have to trust yourself and go with your heart.
09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed. Won't telling you go against the point? N-not that I've done anything like that!
10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you? Yes. There's two guys that would definitely miss me, and my friends would, too.
