CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Naba "Chizu-nee" Chizuru
Canon: Mahou Sensei Negima (Manga)
Reference Link: Here

Character History: Chizu-nee is one of the students in a class filled to the brim with magical girls. At the point in canon I'm taking her from, she's not yet one of the magical girls and is instead perfectly normal (as far as canon ever showed). However, one night she and one of her roommates find an injured dog on the side of the road and take it home to nurse it back to health only to find that it's not a dog but actually a young boy!! Chizu-nee is surprised, but decides ignoring the insanity of the situation in order to properly take care of the kid instead. Even when the boy takes her friend hostage in a confused, fever-induced panic, she keeps up her resolve to take care of him and calmly talks him down from doing anything dangerous.

Following that, the boy (who we learn is called Kotarou) moves into her dorm room on Chizu-nee's insistence and they live together as a family. Her kindness is returned when Kotarou saves her from having been kidnapped later on after she accidentally caught the interest of a demon. The two of them became very fond of each other, and Chizu-nee's been continuously supportive of him whether it comes to his romantic life or the battles she's aware he's had in the series.

Near the end of the canon she goes on to use her influence as the daughter of one of the most influential corporations on the planet to encourage (or force, knowing her) different world leaders into working together in order to terraform and eventually colonize Mars. :') I am pulling her from before this point, but it's worth mentioning since it does provide some background and explanation for why she carries herself with the level of confidence that she does. Anyone who carries that kind of influence and ability to act on it effectively would be so self-assured and confident.

Personality: Chizu-nee is a mothering sort of character. She maintains her dorm room the way a mother would maintain her home: taking care of meals, checking on her roommates well being from time to time, generally looking for ways she can offer them support! She loves to help people, evidenced by her volunteering at the campus's daycare after classes and the way she more or less adopted a young boy who turned up in the series. She's known for her incredible levels of patience and level-headedness when dealing with situations that would send others spiraling into a panic, and has been known to simply ignore the absurdity or impossibility of a situation for the sake of dealing with what she can understand. For example, she once took in an injured dog that suddenly turned into a feverish boy, and rather than wasting time wondering how that's even possible chose to just deal with the fact that there was now a sick boy to take care of and made a call to a doctor.

She's also a very perceptive person, a trait that comes in very handy when gauging whether someone is actually a serious threat or if they've just worked themselves up into a frightened panic. She handles the latter with gentle directness to get to the root of the problem and is quite skilled with talking down even a hostage situation without any serious injury taking place. With the former, she's every bit as fearless, but tends to carry herself with a quiet sort of anger. And when I say fearless, I mean fearless. Chizu-nee is adept at ignoring the obvious danger of a situation and instead stepping the hell up and dealing with it, evidenced by the time a stranger broke into their dorm room and beat up a young boy. Chizu-nee's response was confusion at first, and finally just slapping the man in the face while he charged up a hyper beam. And she has no combat skills whatsoever which only adds to the impressiveness of the act. Her strong set of morals keep her from backing down in these kinds of situations, particularly when children are involved.

Chizu-nee is also well known for her temper, especially over slights against herself. Her roommates have become so familiar with it that all it takes is a single looming glare from her to quiet them into submission. :') She's not above striking out at people who offend her either, though violence dealt over that kind of thing is strictly comedic in nature. Finally, she is on occasion prone to black or lewd humor. She suggested a no-undergarments maid cafe for her class's booth at a festival once, and another time told her young teacher and another boy a terrible ghost story about the same festival just to scare them. 8')

Finally, she does frequently heart-mark in canon and is prone to occasional "ara ara"s or "(oh) my"s.

Writing Sample:
01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Please call me Chizu-nee~ ♥

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
Yes . . . ? This is a strange question isn't it? Everyone knows you'll get blisters if you wear shoes without socks.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Oh my . . . You know, I can't remember exactly! I don't talk all the time, but it's nothing I've ever given any real thought to. An hour, perhaps? I don't enjoy being alone, so there's almost always someone around to have conversation with.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
Ara ara? Why would I think that? I have them too well-trained to consider anything like that. ♥

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
Any wild animal? It would have to be something exciting~ A badger, perhaps? They have a cute look to them, and just imagining the looks I'd get for it is funny. ♥

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
Ara ara, these questions are becoming a little worrying . . . No, I'm not. It's painful to see it, but I'm the sort of person who wants to do something to help in that sort of situation. I can't imagine just standing by in shock or tears while someone else is in pain. That's a time when they need human contact and understanding the most. I want to be a person who can give that to them.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
This depends entirely on whether the cake comes with ice cream or not. If there's ice cream, it has to be a spoon! Otherwise a fork is all you need.

08. Do you trust yourself?
I trust myself more than anyone. It isn't that my friends are untrustworthy at all. I know I can count on them to come whenever I call~ But the thing about friends is they always want to do what's best for you, and sometimes the obvious choice isn't the right one to make. They don't always understand what "best" really is, but if it's me then I know I'll be getting exactly what I want. I know all of my most secret desires and all the little details of what's going on in my life, so who better to make decisions for me than me?

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
No one would ever suspect me in the first place, but if I have to choose one option . . . Ara ara, it has to be poisoning. ♥ All of the evidence would be eaten up.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Oh my, I'm going to get chills at this rate~! My entire class would miss me along with my family, teachers, all the children and workers at the daycare, Kotarou-kun . . . It's really quite a long list. Of course some will miss me more than others, but even the list of people who would cry over it is a long one.
