Name: Ayame Koizumi
Age: 15
Time in Shibuya: 1 year
Nationality: Japanese
Personality: Ayame used to be what her parent's called "A little spitfire" when she was younger. An unrepentant tomboy, Ayame always had more of an interest in movies and cartoons about honourable yakuza, wild eyed ronin and suave space cowboys... looking back on it her dad was forced to admit that he
may have let her watch some stuff that was too mature for her. Back in her youth (15 is, like, so adult age, goodbye childhood) she was always about running around with sticks and pretending she was the dark knight standing up for the downtrodden goblins against some self righteous hero. Cus... y'know it gets boring when the self claimed good guys always win.
Despite her love of siding with cartoon villains Ayame did (and still does) see the world in a young person's stark shades of black and white when it comes to morality. It was this kind of thinking that pushed her to step in whenever she saw a kid at her shcool getting bullied or crossed path with a stray cat that had fallen on rough times. This led to a lot of ass kickings from bigger kids and lectures from grownups for trying to abduct their cats, no matter how much Ayame tried to tell them she was just looking after it until the the shelter opened!
Though she's kind of chilled out these days she hasn't let go of that rebellious spirit. It's just that the self consciousness that plagues all teenagers has kind of put a dampener on the fire of the young girl that dreamed of being the boss of her own yakuza family. Now Ayame has to try and find a balance between what she wants to be and what she wants other people to see her as.
Hobbies & Interests: Action movies. Video games. Cute animals (and ugly animals that she finds cute). Sweet foods. Martial arts! Ameya is super into learning about fighting styles and sports as she still considers herself a "Thug with a heart of gold" at heart. Hype music, an absolute must for when she wants to go for a run. She also likes cute summer dresses but she'll never tell anyone.
Bio: Yo! What you wanna know is that Ayame is a Dotonbori girl born and raised! She went to school brought up around Bansho thugs and real tough guys. And until she was ten the closest thing she'd seen to stars was the neon lights of the entertainment district outside her bedroom window. Yeah they went on vacation out to the country when she was older but there was no wifi out in the wilderness so the beauty of the universe was kind of just a temporary distraction.
Ayame always wanted to think of herself as tough and capable of handling herself. Back when she was little she always shunned away from the classical sense of girlyness that other girls her age latched onto. Magical girls always seemed to defeat their monsters in the lamest way possible, guys who settled fights with their fists seemed way cooler.
The only time she got tempted to try the whole dress and tea party shtick was when she met some of the ladies that worked with her dad. He worked at something called a cabaret club, Ayame had no idea what that was at the time, but the women she met going into the place her dad was supposed to manage with him seemed really nice. She never got why her parents wouldn't let her ever see what was inside there. It couldn't have been that great anyway, her dad kept telling her it was boring grownup stuff and he didn't have any reason to lie. Her mum was in charge of an arcade and when school was out Ayame would get to play at the arcade games if she finished her homework on time so that was way cooler!
They moved to Shibuya a year ago when her dad had gotten a job managing his own club. This one was going to be maid themed... and by now Ayame was old enough to be embarrassed by that. While she's been enrolled at Catalyst academy Ayeme signed up with the kendo club (what excuse for a club they had) and played with the idea of starting a boxing or MMA club despite not really knowing anything about either sport.
What she did end up getting into was Mythic legends. Like, everyone was playing it, and the art on all the cards looked so cool, and like... yeah the commercials made it look cooler than the game actually was. Either way Ayame learned the rules and played some casual games against her nerd friends and it was kinda fun.
