#Roleplay Experience ; I am on a few other roleplaying sites, and I have been doing it with my friends for years. I'm usually semi-literate, although I can certainly write very literate responses if I put effort into it.
#Experience with Clannad ; None at all. I would watch it, but I'm hyper-empathetic and dealing with sad things is extremely hard for me. I probably wouldn't manage to get through it without a panic attack or a meltdown.

Bliss had already been sick before she'd went to school that morning. It wasn't merely a simple cold, either — from the moment she had woken up, she had been feeling dizzy and lightheaded. With every step she took, she was almost one-hundred percent positive that she would just collapse on the ground.
However, she decided to ignore it. She was so used to being sick that it didn't even warrant a passing that. She would be fine, she told herself. She couldn't miss school. That would go on her record, and she couldn't afford having anything bad on it. She had worked hard to be accepted into UA, and she couldn't let something as little as a sickness get in her way.
She had been fine for the first few hours of the school day. Then training started. She'd been training with class 1-A today, after being given permission from the teachers of course. Everything was going fine for the first twenty or so minutes of training, but she suddenly collapsed on the ground with no warning. Bliss was still conscious, but her eyes were closed and she couldn't muster up the energy to even lift her body off the ground. Wonderful. Now she would have to go to the nurse and would very likely that she would have to stay in there the entire day.

#Personality ;
Emiko is always kind and pleasant upon first meeting her. It doesn't matter how the other person is treating her. They could be downright cruel and awful, degrading and insulting her at every possible chance, but that polite smile would never leave her face. This makes her come across as one of those way-too-nice people who never get angry about anything and allow people to walk all over them.
Surprisingly, this is not the case. Although she is acting sweet and innocent on the outside, she is thinking the most awful things about the person who is treating her badly. She is also most likely resisting the urge to beat them over the head with a chair. But she is always nice first, because she can be mean later, but once she's been mean, they won't believe the nice anymore. So she's always nice - that is, until it's time to stop being nice. Then she completely destroys them.
She has a very difficult time trusting other people. As most of the people in her life thus far - the people who are supposed to love and care for her - have been unreliable and malicious, she automatically assumes the worst in people. This is mostly a defense mechanism, something to keep her from getting hurt. If she lets herself believes that a person is actually good and tries to become close to them, this leaves the possibility of being hurt. And Emiko refuses to be hurt again. That's one of the reasons she never lets her guard down, because she doesn't know what she'll do if someone taunts her, letting her make a fool of herself.
However, she does have a trait that greatly conflicts with her trust issues - despite not trusting people easily, she is also too trusting. Due to growing up with someone who often ignored and neglected Emiko, she is so desperate to trust someone that she's willing to open up to the first person that shows any concern or care for her. This is very confusing and frustrating for Emiko, because one part of her brain is going "I don't need anyone. I'm strong enough to get by all on my own." and the other part is going "I'm not strong. I'm a scared little girl and I just need someone to take care of me."
Many of the things that Emiko does is fueled by determination, anger, and a desire to prove everyone who had ever underestimated her wrong. It's extremely difficult for her to find a memory of pure happiness, one that her cynical mind could not pick apart and one whose joy did not come from a place of spiteful satisfaction. Everything she does can be weighed and categorized by value, even personal value. The first time she had stood up for herself against her mother, her first kiss at age eleven with an upperclassmen girl, the time she had decided to move out and stop putting up with the people who hurt her - they were all ranked by how much value they had in comparison to the other, and the emotions resulting were felt through the filter of ambition.
Since she was often degraded and insulted growing up, she is desperate to prove that she is not less than. She will do anything to prove that she is stronger, more intelligent, and braver than her mother ever made her out to be. She still struggles with self-confidence issues. No matter how good she gets at something, there is always that little voice in the back of her head, "Mom was right. I'm not pushing myself enough. I could do better than this." This leads her to pushing herself to the point of breaking down, because it's just too much.
It can be very difficult to become close with Emiko. She is always so distant and aloof, despite her kind demeanor. But if someone somehow does manage, they will see a side to the small girl that she hardly shows anyone else. The more childish, innocent side of her. Due to never really having a childhood and being forced to grow up faster than she should have, Emiko still harbors some childishness deep within her. This shows in the way her eyes sparkle whenever she enters an ice cream parlor or candy store, or how she always orders children's menus at restaurants because she was never allowed to before.
Another one of her conflicting traits is how much she craves affection, and also how much she absolutely hates it because she doesn't want to be touched. She constantly cycles between wanting someone to hug her and panicking if someone does something as little as put their arm around her. Since it changes all of the time, she just tries to avoid physical contact as much as possible, even when she knows that she needs it.
The smallest and most mundane things can also send Emiko plunging down Memory Lane. It could have nothing to do with any of her trauma, but her brain will manage to find a connection and she will start thinking about every awful thing that she's been through. And once the train starts going, it's difficult to make it stop. No matter how much she tries to shift the subject towards something else, her mind will automatically go back to the stuff that she is trying so hard not to remember.
Despite wanting - no, needing someone to love and care about her, she also becomes extremely uncomfortable when someone actually does. She feels as though she doesn't deserve it. If she goes too long without being degraded, screamed at, insulted, forced to do something against her will, she will start feeling guilty. So she does all of these things to herself. She constantly berates herself over every little thing, treats herself as if she's worthless. Although she knows her mother was awful and abuse and there was no justification for the the things that she did, a small part of her still believes that she deserved everything she went through.

#History ;
Born on May 7th, Emiko is the only child of Yamaguchi Atsushi and Hiriko. Unfortunately, her father had run off when she was around four-years-old. At the time, she had been very disheartened and sad about that at the time. She was also very angry — how could her daddy leave her like that? Didn't he love her? But now that she is older, she fully understands why he left. She still resents him for not taking her with him, though.
Since Atsushi decided to leave his wife and daughter, Emiko was raised by her mother. It should be noted that Hiriko has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. She refused to acknowledge that she had a problem though, and would become extremely offended when someone brought it up. She even cut off all ties with a good friend that she had known since middle school because he suggested it might be a good idea to get therapy before raising a daughter.
As a young child, Emiko absolutely adored her mother. She was always so loving and caring, and she protected her from all of the bad things in the world. However, something happened that made Emiko realize that her mother wasn't exactly the angel that she had made her out to be. When she was around eleven-years-old, she had made her first best friend - a girl named Naomi. Naomi was a year younger than her, but she also looked and acted older than Emiko, so Emiko thought she was really cool.
After about three weeks of them being friends, Naomi invited Emiko to a sleep over. Of course, Emiko's first instinct was to say yes. Who wouldn't want to have a sleep over with their best friend? Unfortunately, she remembered that she would have to ask her mother, who would most likely say no, and she just said "maybe" in a dull, deflated voice.
But to her immense surprise, her mother had said yes. Of course, it would definitely be used against her later, but Emiko honestly couldn't care less. She was going to spend the night at a friend's house for the first time ever! Although, she was a little nervous. She had never stayed overnight anywhere, or even gone to another person's house before. It was scary.
The sleepover was really fun, overall! Naomi's mother set them up a bed on the living room floor, and they were allowed to eat ice cream and popcorn while watching movies as long as they cleaned up any mess they made. They were also allowed to stay up really late, as long as they didn't wake anyone up. They still fell asleep at like 10:30 though, even though they were really trying to stay up all night.
The thing that shocked Emiko however, was how nice her mom was. As soon as they entered the house, she greeted Naomi with a hug and asked Emiko if she wanted one too. Emiko was not used to receiving hugs at all, but she decided to give it a try. It felt very nice and comforting, albeit somewhat strange.
Not only did Naomi's mother greet them with hugs, but she actually spent time with them during the sleepover. She wasn't asked too, either, although Emiko was sure she would have agreed if that was the case. No, she had approached them and asked if they were cool with an old lady like her hanging around. Emiko's mother never would have done something like that.
During the entire sleepover, Naomi's mother was nice, affectionate, and caring towards both of them. It confused Emiko. Why was her mother so nice? Mothers weren't like that, at least as far as Emiko had seen. Then again, she had only seen her own mother so maybe she was wrong. After her mom went to sleep, she decided to ask Naomi why her mom was so nice. Naomi had given her a confused look and said, "Because that's how moms are supposed to be."
Emiko had gone home feeling confused and somewhat like her entire world had been slipped upside down. If moms were supposed to be nice and affectionate...did that mean her own mother was a bad mom? No, there was no way... her mother was an awesome mom! Everything she did was for Emiko's own well-being. But she couldn't stop herself from thinking that maybe...no, it couldn't be true. But just to make sure, she confronted her mother about it. She had no idea what she was supposed to say, so she just blurted out the first thing that popped into her head: "Are you a bad mom?" Her mother exploded.
Hiriko sobbed uncontrollably, demanding to know why her own daughter would say something so awful to her. She acted like it was so horrible to accuse her of being a bad mom. It was so painful for her to handle even the slightest implication that she have done something bad or cruel. Any guilt put on her was, in her eyes, a sin and an act of the utmost selfishness and cruelty. She called Emiko every cruel name she could think of, spatting insults that didn't even make sense and attempting to hit her with every object that she could grab.
And that's when Emiko realized something. She always had her suspicions, but she desperately wanted to believe that it was just her imagination, but now it was undeniable. It felt as though something clicked in her brain: this is not normal. She already knew that parents weren't supposed to treat their kids with cruelty, because that was obvious, but she had never even considered her mother as cruel in any way. A little mean, yeah, but that's how she thought all parents were. But cruel and malicious towards her own daughter? No, it had never crossed her mind. Having her suspicions made her much more aware of how awful Hiriko really was.
After that, it seemed the abuse had worsened. Either that or Emiko just realized how bad it actually was and that made it seem worse in comparison to when she had thought it was normal. It made her feel disgusted and hateful towards her mother. It was a strange feeling, resenting the woman who she had practically worshiped for the first nine years of her life. But she couldn't help it.
She first fought back against her mother in her third year of middles school. Before, she hadn't known that it was an option. She thought that all she could do was stay strong and put up with it until she was old enough to leave and cut all ties with her mother. Standing up for herself had never even crossed her mind, and yet she had did it. It was impulsive, and it didn't even register what she had done until it was over.
It had happened while her mother was yelling at her for not doing something. She hadn't even told Emiko to do it, but claimed that Emiko shouldn't have to have everything told to her and that she should be able to do one simple thing. When she raised her hand to slap Emiko, Emiko pushed her back as hard as she possibly could. It took her a moment to register what she had done, but it had felt great. She had stood up for herself. It resulted in punishment of course, but it made her feel stronger.
This was also when Emiko began saving up money to move out of the house. She knew that simply making money for a house wouldn't be enough, and that she also had to save up money for things like bills and food. Because of that, she started early. Since she was not legally old enough to have a job, she did other things. She would mow lawns and babysit for her neighbors. Things like that.
She told Naomi about everything that was going on, and her amazing friend offered to give her money or allow her to stay there. Although Emiko was touched by the consideration, she declined. She didn't want to leech off of Naomi, and although the younger girl really disapproved of her doing this all on her own, she know her stubborn Emiko was and just said to come to her if she needed anything.
Emiko knew that her mother would try to find her money, so she hid it. She would change her hiding spaces every week, just in case: sometimes it was under her bed frame, sometimes it was hidden inside one of her stuffed animals, sometimes it was put behind picture frames. She would also spend a little bit of money each time she got it, so her mother wouldn't get suspicious about her saving up so much money.
She was finally able to get a real job at fifteen, working as a waitress for a local restaurant. It helped a lot, because she made a lot more money than she did when she was doing things like mowing lawns. Hiriko seemed to feel offended by the fact that Emiko had a job, but did nothing to stop her. She did make a lot of snide remarks and say horrible things about waitresses, but it didn't bother Emiko. She would be gone soon enough, anyway.
It was quite recently that she moved out of the house. When she had told her mother, she had screamed and called her ungrateful and selfish, asked how she could do that to her own mother. When that manipulation tactic didn't work, she called Emiko a burden and said that she would be better off dead. She also told Emiko to never speak to her again. That was honestly fine by her. She had been planning on never speaking to her again anyway.
It didn't take long for Emiko to realize that living on her own was extremely difficult. She had done things like go shopping on her own and cook meals before, so she didn't think it would be that difficult, but she was wrong. Dead wrong. Having to keep up with work, achieve good grades in school, and managing rent payments, etc. felt nearly impossible. She didn't dare complain about it Naomi, though. She worried that it was just her being dramatic and whining over nothing, so she always smiled and said that everything was going great.
It took her nearly five months before she finally relented. She couldn't do this on her own and she knew it, no matter how much she wanted to believe that she could. It was taking a toll on both her mental and physical health. She was also quite sure that it was slowly making her insane. So, feeling quite nervous, she called Naomi and asked if it would be okay if she lived with them for awhile.
Of course, Naomi said yes. Her mother did too, after Emiko reminded her tell her. They both welcomed her with open arms, and she's been living with them for a few weeks now. As for her apartment, she obviously moved out. It felt like a waste, since she had saved up so much money to buy it, but she is much happier living with Naomi and her mother. The whole "people who care about you" thing is really new to her, but Emiko wouldn't change it for the world.

Of course, Naomi said yes. Her mother did too, after Emiko reminded her tell her. They both welcomed her with open arms, and she's been living with them for a few weeks now. As for her apartment, she obviously moved out. It felt like a waste, since she had saved up so much money to buy it, but she is much happier living with Naomi and her mother. The whole "people who care about you" thing is really new to her, but Emiko wouldn't change it for the world.
Roleplayer's Corner
#Roleplay Experience ; I am on a few other roleplaying sites, and I have been doing it with my friends for years. I'm usually semi-literate, although I can certainly write very literate responses if I put effort into it.
#Experience with Clannad ; None at all. I would watch it, but I'm hyper-empathetic and dealing with sad things is extremely hard for me. I probably wouldn't manage to get through it without a panic attack or a meltdown.

Bliss had already been sick before she'd went to school that morning. It wasn't merely a simple cold, either — from the moment she had woken up, she had been feeling dizzy and lightheaded. With every step she took, she was almost one-hundred percent positive that she would just collapse on the ground.
However, she decided to ignore it. She was so used to being sick that it didn't even warrant a passing that. She would be fine, she told herself. She couldn't miss school. That would go on her record, and she couldn't afford having anything bad on it. She had worked hard to be accepted into UA, and she couldn't let something as little as a sickness get in her way.
She had been fine for the first few hours of the school day. Then training started. She'd been training with class 1-A today, after being given permission from the teachers of course. Everything was going fine for the first twenty or so minutes of training, but she suddenly collapsed on the ground with no warning. Bliss was still conscious, but her eyes were closed and she couldn't muster up the energy to even lift her body off the ground. Wonderful. Now she would have to go to the nurse and would very likely that she would have to stay in there the entire day.
