				This is the thread for some of the girls attending Hanjuku High, one of Japan's most prestigious girls-only schools! Please remember to enclose a picture with your ID. Thank you, and we hope you enjoy your schooling here!<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m298/Lumbargo/Masako.jpg)</div><br><strong>Name:</strong> Tanaka Masako<br><strong>Age:</strong> 17<br><strong>Academic Focus:</strong> English<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><br>Masako isn't the best of students, but she's pretty damn close. Quiet and studious in the classroom, the girl gets along well with classmates and teachers alike - enough that she was, just this year, voted Class Representative. She doesn't feel quite ready for the responsibility yet, but if the rest of her classmates have given her this position, then she's not going to upset them all by rejecting it, is she? She's tolerant of others 'rebelling' in their way - illegal under school rules as they may be - but if anything progresses to a chance of someone being hurt she'll do her best to shut it down. Smoking, drinking and - more illicit activities - is fine by her, although she obviously doesn't partake, so long as it isn't harming anybody else.<br><br>Despite her timid sounding appearance in class, Masako tends towards being quite blunt in speaking (to the extent where she will occasionally just blurt out something she was merely thinking) and her sense of humour is a little darker than most other's. In social situations she often plays the 'straight man' to another's more vibrant personality, at least until she accidentally says something she probably would have been better off not saying. That said, she really tries to get along with other people, and is for the most part also respected and liked back by most. <br><br>She is secretly a bit of a nerd, seeing constant cliches in real life and framing things in TV terms, but she tries her best to keep that from showing. Ever. Except when her mouth betrays her, of course.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/Tyranaal/e5d5231dc443ff229c7d83e1398e9d1d.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong> Ito Haya<br><strong>Age</strong> 17<br><strong>Academic Focus</strong> Sports!<br><br><strong>Personality</strong> Haya doesn't have any hard and fast friends, largely because she transferred in just before the start of sophomore year.&nbsp; She can usually be found either jogging around the neighborhood or exercising in the school's gym.&nbsp; The few girls that happened to run into her and chatted with the new girl report that she's nice enough, but during school Haya normally retreats into her headphones.&nbsp; No one has yet worked up the courage to try and crack her shell.<br><br>In class, Haya's middling at best.&nbsp; Her nominal focus in History, but she's a sports nut.&nbsp; She can wipe the floor with anyone one-on-one in basketball or track, and she can be seen regularly playing against two or three people at once.&nbsp; She doesn't always win in such situations, but she does well enough.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/rcburner/TomboyPleatedSkirtWoman.jpg)</div><br><strong>Name:</strong> Arisawa Naoto<br><strong>Age:</strong> 17<br><strong>Birthdate and Astrological Sign:</strong> March 18; Pisces<br><strong>Height / Weight:</strong> 5'9" / 132lbs<br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Presumed "straight", having dated several guys very briefly in the past.&nbsp; <br><strong>Class:</strong> 2-1<br><strong>Academic Focus:</strong> English<br><strong>Extracurriculars:</strong> None whatsoever, though she cycles between spending time at the school library or its gym once classes let out for the day.<br><br><strong>Appearance (Pictured)</strong><br><br>Naoto is not the sort of person that likes to draw untoward attention, and it shows in her manner of dress.&nbsp; Rarely does she wear a proper uniform, and when she does it has usually been deliberately modified to be as shocking as possible.&nbsp; This habit has ensured that the staff allows her to wear whatever she wishes, so long as she refrain from making further attempts to scandalize the school's dress code.&nbsp; Despite her rather grating, tomboyish attitude she is very rarely found out in public in anything but a skirt or dress of some sort, drably coloured as it may be, except when at the Gym or the occasional days that she doesn't skip Physical Education.&nbsp; Barring those exceptions, she has a very odd tendency to wear a few too many layers in winter and clothing that doesn't bare quite enough skin to be comfortable in the summer.<br><br>Her hair is always cropped short and obviously uncombed, having long since mastered the ability to make bedhead look passable.&nbsp; In that vein, she also never wears any sort of makeup.&nbsp; Naoto has outright stated that she considers it the worst sort of fakery.&nbsp; "If someone is going to like me, they'll have to do so with the mask <em>off.</em>&nbsp; What you see is what you get."&nbsp; Thankfully, she also has a rather pretty face to back up those words.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><br>Naoto is, if her substandard grades and poor relationship with teachers are to be taken as evidence, the archetypical slacker and procrastinator.&nbsp; Schoolwork is, in her eyes, something that can simply be put off into the last possible moment before being forced out of her skull in a flurry of stress, panicking, and massive amounts of caffeine.&nbsp; When she actually bothers to stay awake in class it is only through monumental effort on her part, and even then she sees the chalkboard through glassy eyes that would much prefer to be staring out the window or at the massive amount of doodles supplementing the precious few actual notes in her binders.&nbsp; Despite her total disregard for proper conduct in the classroom and lack of enthusiasm, she just barely manages to scrape by with passing grades for all of her tests.&nbsp; Just barely, but enough to suggest that at least a modicum of effort is secretly spent ensuring that she will avoid having to repeat a year in order to graduate, and that her parent's money isn't being wasted.<br><br>In social situations Naoto is far more animated, though tends to become gradually more subdued if too many people are taking part.&nbsp; Her wry sense of humor and often vulgar manner of speech turns off some people, though makes her quite popular among those who consider themselves to be the "rebels" of the student body.&nbsp; She isn't known to take part in any illicit activities like some of the more extreme girls at Hanjuku, but has been known to smoke or occasionally drink on school grounds, albeit not in sight of any school officials.&nbsp; Though often mellow she is quite easy to fluster or annoy, and if brought to certain points will launch into a spirited tirade that seems wholly out of character with the laid back personality that she tries to project.

				Title: <strong>Hanjuku High - Ito Mayumi</strong><br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/78/Mayumi_%28Hanjuku%29.png)</div><span class="bbc_u"><strong>The Basics</strong></span><br><br><strong>Name</strong>: Ito Mayumi<br><strong>Age</strong>: 17<br><strong>Birthdate &amp; Horoscope</strong>: O1 November, Scorpio<br><strong>Height / Weight</strong>: 5ft. 6in. (168cm) / 125lbs (57kg)<br><strong>Sexuality</strong>: Undisclosed<br><strong>Class</strong>: 2-1<br><strong>Academic Focus</strong>: Mathematics<br><strong>Extracurriculars</strong>: Student council president, swim team captain<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Appearance</strong></span>: Mayumi walks coolly and confidently, her large eyes always seeming to stare off into the distance unless her attention is caught by something – or someone – in particular. She possesses an elegance that is attributed more to her demeanor than her figure, an elegance that she wears well whether she's playing sports or public speaking. She is not shy about her body at all, as she is also a swimmer on the school team.<br><br>At first glance Mayu appears fragile and delicate. Her high cheekbones and pert nose complement a sharp chin and large, expressive eyes. She has the “cool beauty” stereotype completely dominated – she turns down most date offers from goukons that her female classmates drag her to and has a maturity that makes her seem older and wiser. Intelligence shines clearly from guarded blue-gray eyes, as does a hint of determination. Many students think that she wears contacts, but she actually inherited them from one of her grandparents.<br><br>In school, she wears her wavy dark brown hair tied up; outside of school, Mayu wears her hair loose. She prefers clothing that make her look good, and in which she can move easily; often, her street fashion consists of a simple dress shirt and a pair of slacks, an outfit that is both dressy and comfortable. As previously mentioned, though, Mayu is not shy about her body, and thus will also wear pretty skirts and dresses if the occasion calls for it. She would never be caught being anything less than dressy and professional. In cold weather, she simply adds a turtleneck, scarf, and a black trench-jacket. <br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Personality</strong></span>: In school, Mayumi is somewhat intimidating, due to her beauty and cool, collected attitude. She is calm under pressure and cool in even the most trying circumstances, but is never afraid to speak her mind and give her opinion. She has a maturity that makes her appear older than her age, and is always quick to defend those who are bullied or are afraid to speak up. For this and various other reasons, she is crushed on and respected by many other girls in Hanjuku, and was elected to the position of student body president despite only being in the 2nd year.<br><br>All that she does is inevitably driven with intensity. That very trait is what lends her the magnetism she possesses on any stage, be it speaking in front of her classmates as student body president, playing the violin, or singing in front of an audience. And while she excels at both playing and singing, music is just a hobby - in school, she is simply the well-respected and well-loved student body president, as well as the talented swim team captain.<br><br>Though Mayu can usually be very reliable, she is very willful and does things her own way, her own style. She is a very private person, and dislikes gossip. She is slow to anger, but once her temper has flared it is difficult to get her to back off.<br><br>She doesn’t like flowers usually, but has a soft spot for cosmos flowers, especially those of the chocolate variety.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span>: Mayu never goes home during holidays. Nobody knows a lot about her family life, except that her parents seem to be out of the picture. It's also rumored that Mayu transferred into Hanjuku from America during the ninth grade (year 1), despite the fact that her Japanese is accent-less and flawless. Through some clever spying, some girls in her fan club discovered that she lives alone, though they have not yet managed to figure out how this is so. In actuality, Mayu works at a modeling agency under contract.

She is kind hearted but strict when needed, is a student yet so is working hard to impress and being "home" she feels nice teaching the next generation of exceptional young women. Is a free-thinker and although loves her current focus feels a mind is a terrible thing to waste and reads a great deal in everything she can get her hands on. Her electives in college was rather eclectic with a focus on classical studies East and West. In fact she wants to earn a related degree to that later on and get her masters degree.<br><br>P.S. Health and Fitness is the Gym Class and will be I figure every semester, one for each grade level. Obviously the lowest level classes will be not posted and be innocent.

				(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f217/izayoi34/AkaiRed2-1.jpg)<br><br>Name: Fujisawa Shiori<br>Age: 17<br>Birthdate &amp; Horoscope: 2 January/Capricorn<br>Height / Weight: 5ft 3in / 55 kg<br>Sexuality: Undisclosed<br>Class: 2-A<br>Academic Focus: History<br>Extracurriculars: Literature Club member, Closet Doujin artist &amp; writer<br><br>Appearance: Shi does not pay much attention to clothing. Comfort matters most to her and she has been found wearing stuff with enough holes in 'em to be used as rags. Thankfully, she knows better than to do that in public. Shi prefers wearing the uniform on school grounds, even after school. It makes it easier for her, not having to choose a different outfit for every outing. When she has no choice, she usually wears a close-collared shirt and skirts, or a closed-neck top instead. In winter, she wraps a scarf around her neck and wears warm jackets and long, warm socks. <br><br>She holds herself withut any self consciousness, other than in very public events, where she's too flustered by all the people to do otherwise. She wears her hair loose. She almost never wears jewelry, unless coaxed by her mother or her friends. <br><br>Personality: Shi is a quiet, soft spoken girl. An underachiever, she does just well enough in her studies that she is neither considered to be a "slacker" nor a "nerd". She is not really a part of any social circle, preferring to spend time by herself. Much of her time in class is spent doodling in her notebook, or wistfully staring out the window. Having a modicum of intelligence helps there; if she's called out by a teacher for not paying attention, she can usually answer any questions posed and wiggle out of a reprimand. <br><br>Shi is a little eccentric. Sometimes she can be found just standing in a spot, oblivious to the world around her, lost in some inner dream. She pays attention to odd little details and can become engrossed in minor details that seem meaningless to others. She is vividly imaginative, and while that does not show in her interactions with others, she uses the Literature Club and her attempts at art as outlets for that. <br><br>Shi does not much hang out with others, but there are a few people she enjoys spending time with. She is much more vivacious with these select persons than she is in her public persona. She holds very specific views on things and can be stubborn and judgemental, though she always gives people second chances. Shi is unfailingly nice to people, as long as they stay moderately courteous and polite. If a boundary is crossed, Shi either becomes silent and unresponsive, turning out the offensive party or enraged enough to engage in a spat. <br>

				<strong>Name</strong> - Tsukino Kirie<br>(http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad218/fuzzstraw/137227-canaan_large.jpg?t=1264139000)<br><strong>Age</strong> - 17<br><strong>Academic Focus</strong>- Music<br><strong>Personality</strong>- Born and raised in sunny Okinawa, Kirie has a deep tan and sunbleached hair, which makes her stand out amongst most girls in Tokyo. Her mother has remarried a Tokyo businessman and thus she has been relocated to Tokyo where she now attends an elite school, and she sure as heck feels out of place in such a posh environment.<br>&nbsp;<br>She is pretty petite sized, but loves to lug around her cello-case whenever she has practice. She has a rather distant personality despite being from Okinawa, and would usually keep to herself and not speak unless spoken to. She is rather rough and tomboyish in her actions, but her language is peculiarily polite and not in tune with her actions, perhaps because she is not really comfortable with speaking kanto Japanese. She absolutely has no talent in math or science, but is pretty proficient in English having perfected it by listening to American GIs based in Okinawa.
