Name:
Shoko Iseki

Age:
18

Gender
Female



Personality:
Shoko has a bit of a tomboyish streak to her, which mainly manifests itself through hyper-competitiveness, and a sense of curiosity that drags her around by the nose. The girl is a something of a low-key show-off, wanting others to be impressed with her and the things she can do. It's validation, for her, to have people look up to her and praise her -- a side effect of this is that she's very willing to help out with most anything, to gain the admiration of those she helps. All this tends to lead to her being on the reckless side of things, acting first and asking questions later (Was it really a good idea to cannonball off that bridge with a dozen people watching? Did that girl actually deserve such a hard punch to the nose?) in an attempt to be the first to do things and to not be shown up.

She's not particularly outgoing or loud-mouthed, and is actually more on the awkward side when dealing with people -- while she does genuinely enjoy interacting with others, she can't help but feel shy, though she pushes through it, sometimes coming off as a bit of a bumbling dork as a result (to her dismay). When she feels strongly about something, she can ignore this softer-spoken side of hers and make her point heard. The confidence and self-assuredness she gives off is something of a front, made to deal with her insecurities -- the last thing she wants is to fail, especially in front of others. While she can avoid thinking about such things normally, after the fact -- when she realizes that she's failed and made a fool of herself -- it hits her hard. She worries far more about what people think of her than is healthy, and can't stand even the thought that others may see her as weak and incapable. When push comes to shove, she'll fight until she can no longer move, if only to avoid the stinging shame of failure.

All-in-all, Shoko's a genuine and hard-working person, who tries to make friends with everyone (at first, at least -- she isn't too afraid with making an enemy out of someone who's pissed her off, but she does try to avoid it), which helps save her from coming off as obnoxious and self-absorbed when she otherwise might. She's also surprisingly level-headed, for how she acts -- she usually knows what she's doing might be a bad idea, but she goes through with it anyways.

Additional Information:
- Shoko is 5'7" (170.2 cm) tall, and weighs 127 lbs.
- She has younger twin siblings, one a boy and the other a girl.
- She's played volleyball for several years, and is currently the star of her school's team. She is also a strong enough player that she was a part of Japan's national Youth (U18) women's volleyball team last year, and has a good chance at making the Junior (U20) team this year.
- Between volleyball and her adventurous whims, she doesn't leave much time for schoolwork, only just barely squeaking by as is required of her to be allowed to continue playing on her school's team.
- She has a weakness for 'cute' things, though she does her best not to let it show.
- Another thing she makes sure to keep on the down-low is her fear of darkness. It makes her more than a little uncomfortable.
- She likes skirts because she finds them cute, but always wears compression shorts or tights under them.
- She's broken her bones surprisingly few times, considering the risks and tumbles she's taken in her life.
- Finally, she's going through something of a late-teen crisis, one that many final-year high school students experience -- the realization that she has to figure out what she wants to do with the rest of her life, made an even more difficult question thanks to her sub-par grades. Currently, she's avoiding thinking about it by just living her life as she has been, but deep down she knows she can't just play volleyball forever. The idea of growing up seems so consuming and inevitable, and it kind of scares her.

Attribute:
Vaccine

Type:
Wind

Digivolutions:

In-Training / Baby

Physical Description:

Fully controlled through its touchscreen save for the power button and the home screen button. It's colored a deep red with white and black accents, and its screen has a strong green tint.

Special Characteristics:
- Shoko's digivice's most obviously useful feature is its mapping capability -- everywhere that Shoko walks, within a small sphere (~20m radius) around her, is mapped in detail.
- It can 'anchor' itself to one other digivice at a time, allowing Shoko to know where the holder of the connected digivice is at all times in relation to herself (and vice-versa, at least as far as the other digivice's capabilities can allow).
- The screen has a brightness setting, which can be turned way up to act as a flashlight.
- Being her old MP3 player, it can record sound and play it back. It also has all the music files that Shoko had on it, but they are all corrupted beyond recognition, the names being gibberish symbols and the music itself being nothing more than screeches, beeps, and other noises.
