[OOC] - Fragmented - (dead; stay tuned for the next one!)

[Obscene Symphony]

@Sir Hawke Looks pretty good! Does Lera still live in Germany, or did she move back to the Ukraine? What language does she principally speak? Finally, if she didn't know that she was Fragmented or even what that means, why did she agree to answer the letter and come on this trip? Did someone she know encourage her perhaps?

[Trainerblue192]

Oh wow this blew up while I was working xD

[blubirb]

@blubirb Oooh, very nice! I assume he just finished his first year of his master's study? Also, what's the name of his parents' fashion brand? Finally, what does he think of the letter and the trip? What's the thing that pushed him to pursue his soulmate despite resenting being Fragmented?

I don't really have much else to say XD Well done! I really like him!

@Obscene Symphony

Yep, that’s correct! Sung-il will soon be in his second year of grad school.

I have to admit, I’m not the best at creating brand names hence why I left it pretty vague :’), but now that you’ve asked, I think I’ll call it “C.M.E. by Ji & Woo”, which stands for 처음 만났어요 (cheoeum mannass-eoyo) meaning, “I met you for the first time”, as a sort of nod to his parents’ first memories of meeting each other and falling in love since they’re sappy like that. Also, as a disclaimer, I used google translate so the translation might be off, but that’s the general gist of what I wanted it to mean haha!

The resentment mainly stems from feelings of helplessness and vulnerability. Like his parents, Sung-il’s a romantic and hopes that he can someday also have the sort of unbreakable bond that they have, but the idea of being unable to live both mentally and physically without his soulmate frightens him so terribly to the point where he’d rather he didn’t have the mark at all. Basically, he does want to find his soulmate, but feels pressured by the fact that he has no choice and HAS to find his other half or he’ll suffer a lonely existence as someone Lost. He was surprised to receive the letter at first and while he knows he shouldn’t get his hopes up, he can’t help feeling excited for the trip, knowing that this could be the opportunity he’s been waiting for to meet his soulmate.

[Obscene Symphony]

@blubirb What a cute name for a company! I'm not worried about Google translate lol, we'll all just pretend it's perfect ^_^ Thank you for the explanations!

[SmokeDragon]

I find it a bit amusing that we only have one straight character submitted so far. Makes me chuckle to think of the IC reasons for it. FRX, all the reasons I can think of for the twins to make it so on purpose are funny.

[Obscene Symphony]

@SmokeDragon Whoops, you caught me, there is no plot, it's just one big gay party XD

Speaking of one big gay party, everyone should make sure they come join the Discord!

[Obscene Symphony]

Hey guys, it was brought to my attention that I never wrote up the actual letter you all received!

The Letter

Dear [Name],

It is our hope that this letter finds you well. You have received it because of who - or rather, what - you are. You are Fragmented, seemingly alone in the world, longing for someone you cannot name, and so this proposal has found you.

Please do not be alarmed. We mean you no harm, nor are we soliciting. Rather, we write because we are like you; Fragmented, though we have been lucky enough to find our other halves within each other. We know all too well that most Fragmented will never know the peace we have come to cherish, and will go through short and fretful lives feeling empty, and we feel deeply for those unlucky souls who are doomed to live with souls unmended.

Thus, we have decided to do our part in bringing the world’s Fragmented together in hopes of helping at least a few souls Reunite. We humbly invite you to attend an event at our estate in the Rocky Mountains to enjoy natural beauty and the company of other Fragmented for a week in luxury. We have spared no expense and do not ask for anything from you but your time.

We understand this may seem strange. Should our offer not interest you, simply discard this letter and freely forget you ever received it. But should you accept, we will be delighted to welcome you and hope that we can do whatever we can to help you find your other half.

We hope to receive your reply.

Cordially yours,

Raphael & Isaac Abramson

The letter was written on quality stationery in impeccable cursive, and below the twins' names it bore each of their signatures; Isaac's in blue, very proper and loopy, and Raphael's in pink, more hastily written and angular. The [Name] part was replaced with your character's first name, of course.

When you sent your acceptance, you received plane tickets and instructions on how to go about getting to the estate, called "The Winds". The gist is that you'll fly to a town near the mountains and either be shuttled up to the estate along a narrow mountain road or flown in via helicopter, which would pick you up after you got off your flight. You can choose your method of transportation, but for simplicity's sake I'd say none of you happened to share a shuttle/helicopter with your soulmate. This way you don't Reunite before you've had the chance to talk to anyone!

Character Information

Aliases: Miles, Tails
Age: 21
Gender: Male

Appearance

Height: 6'
Weight: 170lbs
Build: Slim
Eyes: Forest Green
Hair: Ginger
Skin Tone: Caucasian
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: None
Personal Style: Milo tends to lead towards the more comfortable aspect of style. Opting to wear plain white shirts, fitted khaki pants with the pant cuff rolled up high enough to see miss matched colored socks, as well as a pair of leather boots. He almost always has a leather messenger bag with him along with his Ipad, Apple Pencil, and Keyboard Cover. Milo tends to wear 5 to 6 leather and corded bracelets to cover up his black band, part ways for the stylistic look it gives him as well as to avoid any more of those capitalistic hacks who try to pawn off love to him on a daily basis.

---

Sexuality/Personality

---

Sexuality: Homosexual
Personality: Milo is a bit of a skeptic. Though he knows The Fragmented exist, and that he is in fact one of them, he views the whole notion of it as just some new capatilistic gain. Thinking that corporations and movie makers played up the idea too much when the chances of even meeting another Fragmented was slim enough, and believing they take advantage of this sliver of hope to cash in on the most life threatening opportunity one could have. Aside from all that, Milo is a fun loving guy, always happy to help those who need it even though he’s endlessly tired from his job as a Barista where he almost always hears some guest say to him “Hey baby, are you fragmented? Cuz I’ve got that missing piece ;)”

Biography

---

General History: Milo was born and raised in Orlando, Florida. He’s traveled to a few other states every now and then, but is mainly just stuck in Orlando with work and friends. He is the son of two well off parents who constantly offer to aid him in his endeavors, but he insists that the make it on his own. Growing up Milo was a fairly carefree child, paying little to no mind as to the world around him, save for what he cared to look into. He watched many shows where love triumphs all, or the guy always gets the girl, and grew up seeing the same plot and hook repeated until he realized that it would only ever manifest that way if it was scripted.

His parents gave him everything he’d ever wanted, and they help him out as much as he allows, but for the most part Milo spends his time at work in a coffee shop listening to horrible pick up lines and watching countless dates play in front of him. Perhaps it was this notion of seeing all of those around him so maddeningly “in love”, while he could scarcely get a decent guy to look his way, that caused him to have such a bitter outlook on life in regards to romance. He see’s the band etched into his skin everyday and swears that his soulmate must either be one of antagonism or platonic love, two pieces that many a script tend to leave out unless it inevitably ends up being love at the end.

Milo currently lives in a two bedroom apartment, and has his friend Ana who spends almost all her time there. They’re as close as can be, and if it wasnt for the fact that she’s not fragmented, theyd of sworn that they had a platonic soulbond with one another. He has a pet cat, an orange tabby named Goose, who is a fierce cuddle monster and avid sleeper. Whenever Milo is too busy at work or working late, Ana is always there with a spare key to help take care of Goose when needed.

Tommy Patrick

Tommy

_{"You have to go through the falling down in order to learn to walk.
It helps to know that you can survive it. That's an education in itself."}

---

---

Name: Tameka "Tommy" Patrick

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Appearance: Tommy is a young lady of Dominican descent, standing at five feet, six inches tall and weighing in at a little over one-hundred fifty pounds. While Tommy does have curves, she has more of an athletic build thanks to her frequent trips to the gym. Her skin is usually free of any blemishes, the only exceptions being the horizontal scar across the bridge of her nose and the freckles that lay underneath. Her natural hair is kinky, dark brown, and shoulder length. You'll usually see her with a blonde undercut, however, as she prefers to bleach, straighten and cut it. Much of Tommy is an assertion of androgyny, from her undercut to her short nails. She enjoys wearing men's clothing, successfully proving that she can not only pull off skirts and dresses, but suits and joggers as well. Although she doesn't spend much time getting ready in the mornings, it's rare to see her in a state of disarray as she believes that she should always look prepared and presentable, especially when she's the most frazzled.

Aside from the scar on her nose, Tommy also has multiple small scars covering her knees, legs, and ankles from childhood incidents. As far as piercings go, she has stretched her earlobes to 4 millimeters and has both a nose stud and septum piercing. Tommy also has one large tattoo of a dragon covering most of her back, and a half-sleeve on her right arm.

---

---

Personality: Ever since the day she was born, Tameka Patrick has been an adventurous free-spirit, something that she probably inherited from her birth parents. There is a certain confidence in the way that Tommy walks and talks; she has a way of commanding attention from the moment she steps foot into a room and making strong first impressions. She has never been one to shy away from any platform or spotlight, and will always speak her mind without hesitation or timidity. This, of course, has gotten her into a lot of trouble with her foster parents in the past. Thanks to her parents' superb parenting and her overall upbringing, however, Tommy has grown to be a very self-reliant and independent young woman. She knows how to handle things on her own, and rarely calls on the help of her family members or peers.

There are a few downsides to Tommy's persona, the main one being her impulsiveness and carelessness. While being adventurous, Tommy also has a history of making decisions without thinking them completely through, which probably should result in her regretting them later on. She also tends to be very stubborn and short-tempered; she gets angry quickly if things don't turn out the way she hopes.

Biography: Rebecca Patrick was twenty-five years old when she found out that she would never be able to have kids. For years, the woman and her husband Joseph had desperately tried to conceive a child of their own, so this news was nothing short of devastating. Two years later, however, after realizing just how much they longed to be parents, the married couple decided to foster. Tameka Nicole Patrick was born on a warm, Spring morning, the child of a nineteen year old Dominican immigrant who, due to the pressure placed upon her by Tommy's prejudiced birth father, put both Tameka and her twin sister into the system. They were finally given to the Patrick family to raise as their own at the ages of six.

Growing up, life wasn't always easy for Tommy, but she tried her hardest to make it work. Thanks to her natural charisma and charm, she made friends quickly and easily. Both of her foster parents had decent jobs that allowed them to live a relatively comfortable lifestyle in Brooklyn, New York. It wasn't until Tommy was in middle school that she finally began to experience all of the negatives that came with being one of the Fragmented. While she had a good crop of friends that always had her back, her sister included, Tommy also had a few "enemies" who treated her poorly simply because of the mark around her wrist. Whether it was because they hated her or envied her, Tommy wasn't completely sure. She did know, however, that she'd have to wear a watch or bracelet over her mark throughout the remainder of her secondary schooling.

After finishing school, both Tommy and her sister Tasha went off to a University in Manhattan. Four years later, Tommy would graduate with a degree in Music Production, and her sister with one in Business Administration. During her time in college, Tommy managed to snag herself a steady girlfriend, a paid internship that would help her secure her dream job in the future, and an apartment that she shared with her sister and three other girls they met after advertising for roommates. Although she'd had yet to run into her "other half" Tommy had to admit that she wasn't really worried about finding said mystery person. After all, she did seem to have everything that she could ever ask for: lovely foster parents, a close-knit band of sisters, and the best girlfriend that she could possibly have.

This mentality explained why she was hesitant to accept the invitation that she'd received in the mail. What if she actually were to meet her other half, and this person turned out to be everything she never knew she needed? What if this person turned out to be someone who would try to replace the people she already had in her life, her girlfriend especially? Tommy was scared out of her mind. But it was her sister who eventually convinced her that this was simply an adventure that she could not pass up.

@Ejected I am so glad Tommy is already in a relationship. I was hoping we'd get some people who were already attached!

I really only have a few trivial questions. What sort of build does Tommy have? I only ask because the height and weight don't seem to quite match up with the image you have for her, so some clarification would be great. As well, she would have just graduated, right? She took music production; does she play an instrument? Think Tommy will be miffed about the smoke-free environment at the estate?

Was Tommy worried at all about becoming Lost? Or was that not something she really thought about?

Otherwise, if you could brighten her text colour up a little bit, I'd appreciate it. Blame my eyes, they've been my downfall on this site for years XD As well, I don't mind the coloured body text in the sheet, but if you could use the default white when we get to the IC, that'd be fantastic.

[Ejected]

@Obscene Symphony

Oh Hell, I see what you mean. In my defense, I was half-asleep when I was typing some of this lol. Sorry!

I have moved her weight down to around 150 instead of 180 and added a bit more about her overall build in the appearance section. She graduated a year ago at 21, and has picked up some keyboard & singing skills throughout her few years of producing. However, she mainly uses beat making software to create her music.

She'll definitely be bummed that she can't smoke when she wants, but she'll get over it pretty quickly.

Tommy hasn't thought much about becoming lost; She always figured that she'd run into her other half at random.
She's also afraid of what will happen after she does find this person, so she never really put as much effort into searching for them as others do. And no problem, I'll brighten the color! Let me know if what I have now is okay!

[Obscene Symphony]

@Ejected Everything looks great, thank you!

Breckenridge Stonemason

Character image:

Name: Breckenridge Devatta Stonemason

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Asexual, and Aromantic

Appearance:

Prosthetic Limbs

Right Arm:

Legs:

Three out of Breck's four limbs have been replaced with his own advanced prosthesis, all of which sport an aesthetically attractive silver hue with an electric blue trim (See legs for color scheme). Breckenridge stands at an even 6'0, and with a bit of a dadbod weighs in at around 195lbs. He has a gentle but confidant posture, his back straight and shoulders broad, but he does well not to over-posturize, and takes care not to puff his chest or raise his chin.

His attire and aesthetic match that of a lumberjack, and he can be seen exclusively wearing flannels of reds and browns tucked into simple blue jeans. He's also known to sport simple work boots, and a pair of reddened leather suspenders. He purposefully keeps the sleeves of his flannel rolled up at all times, openly displaying the Fragmented mark on his left wrist, and his prosthetic right arm.

Personality:
In short, Breckenridge is one of the kindest, most generous men you're ever likely to meet. He is deeply philanthropic, and strives to be fair and encouraging in everything he does. Unlike some, he does not do good things for the feelings that accumulate from positive attention, but rather because he believes himself duty-bound to do the most good he can for this world. He is also incredibly intelligent, but rather than cold and calculating or cruel and cunning, he is wise and warm. He is incredibly patient, and believes deeply that every person alive has good in them, and simply need the motivation to act upon it.

He will trust you, regardless of if you've given him reason not to. He will help you, even if you don't ask for it. He will let you take advantage of him, even if he knows your intents.

Biography:
Breck was born and raised in a small town just south of the Canadian Border in Washington State to his single mother Brooklyn. His father had allegedly died in the war, but he had come to believe that was simply the story of a mother trying to protect her son from the abandonment she felt. His mother had gotten pregnant in her senior year of high school, and unable to balance pursuing a degree, affording basic necessities, and raising a child, he and his mother moved in with his grandparents. Originally, the plan was that his mother would get her degree and begin a career, and they would move out to their own home. However, that plan changed when Brooklyn's mother, Lydia, passed away shortly after Brook had graduated with her Nursing degree. From then on, Brooklyn and Breckenridge decided to continue living at home with Brook's father, Alan. Alan was a retired electrical engineer, and as he was both Breck's primary caretaker and only paternal figure, he cultivated a fascination and love for technology and engineering in Breck, which would only grow alongside his interest in human anatomy as he aged.

The markings on Breckenridge's wrists were thought to be little more than birthmarks, as the concept of a fragmented person was so foreign to his family that they didn't even consider it to be a possibility until later in his life.

In regards to his adolescent years, Breckenridge excelled far beyond his peers in every subject, particularly those regarding math and science. Socially however, he fell behind his peers. He was not anti-social, nor disliked, he simply found it difficult to create deep, meaningful relationships with the people around him. Every attempt was met with failure, as he was surrounded by an ever pervasive feeling that each person he befriended was lacking something intrinsically, that there was a key component they were missing that prevented him from becoming attached. This incomprehensible sensation grew and manifested itself in the form of isolation and distance, Breckenridge would actively avoid engaging with his peers in any capacity, as he believed that attempting to befriend them would only be a disservice, as any time either party invested in each other would be null in the face of this sense of lacking. Instead he focused on cultivating his interests and pursuing his hobbies, which involved engineering practical robotics and researching the human anatomy and how electricity could impact it.

Upon graduating high school at the ripe age of 14, Breck received a military-funded full ride scholarship to Cambridge University, with a stipulation that he would be contractually obligated to work at the U.S. Naval base in Virginia Beach after receiving his degrees to further military research into experimental maritime technology. Breckenridge agreed, and left his home in Washington to attend college in Massachusetts.

After graduating at 20 with a Masters Degree in both Bio-Chemistry and Electrical engineering, Breckenridge moved to Virginia Beach to begin working on an aquatic exo-suit designed to allow naval engineers to preform hull repairs without porting a naval vessel. Breckenridge was the acting head of this project, as his educational background made him best suited to lead the project.

Six months after he and his team began working on development of the S.H.R.A.M. (Sub-aquatic Hull Repair and Assessment Module), a fatal error was made. The Lithium-Ion battery developed specifically to power the SHRAM had been assembled using cheaper materials than advised by Breck and his team, which resulted in an explosion during routine testing, which was being carried out at the time by Breckenridge himself. The explosion resulted in the emergency amputation of his right arm, and both of his legs, as he had been standing to the left of the SHRAM prototype conducting routine software diagnostics at a desktop computer when the battery blew.

Following the SHRAM accident, Breckenridge was dismissed from his previous contractual obligation to conduct R&D for the military, and was also granted a large settlement of 5.5 million USD, after signing a nondisclosure of course. Following his immediate medical treatment, he returned home to Washington State and began undergoing physical therapy. He was provided with state of the art prosthesis for his missing limbs, but their inefficiency and difficulty to use drove him mad. Then, one day, he achieved a sort of clarity, and immediately hid himself away into his garage/work-space.

For six months he holed himself away in that garage, leaving only to use the restroom twice a day, like clockwork. In that garage he worked endlessly, sleeping in 15 minute intervals every four hours, and stopping to eat once every two to three days until one day, he emerged.

He emerged walking on two fully functional bionic legs, and with a fully functioning bionic right arm. He had used his settlement as funding, and combined his knowledge of the human body and electrical engineering to create the most advanced prosthesis known to man. The prosthesis were controlled by the existing neural pathways in his body, and could be installed through an automated process that was encoded into the prosthesis's software. That was the day that BLI (Better Living Industries) was created, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of every human alive with affordable and reliable technology.

Four years later, BLI had become one of the largest technology companies in the world, their prosthetic lines were massed produced and even the most advanced models cost less than the average T.V. The company had moved on to create translators, sustainable green energy sources, electric cars that outperformed fossil-fuel powered vehicles at every term, and cost about half as much to produce. All of it done under the supervision of the Fragmented genius who demanded that the world live the best life it could.

Despite being the CEO and owner of one of the most profitable organizations in the world, Breckenridge lead a humble, quiet life. His team of advisers managed the majority of the business's operations, and Breck was, for the most part, left to live peacefully in the mountains of his home state. His mother and Papa would visit him from time to time, and although they feared for their son becoming one of the Lost, they understood that he didn't mind dieing young, so long as he left the world a better place when he did. Aside from his family's occasional visits, he had his pet cat, Cleopatra, to keep him company. He spent his time in seclusion to explore things beyond science and anatomy. He picked up pottery, and art, and spent a great deal of his time reading and sipping wine. When he received an invitation to meet with other Fragmented, like himself, he took Cleo to his Mother's home, and set off, hoping that perhaps there he would find the key every other person thus far had been missing.

Other: ★
-Breckenridge has made it a point that everyone working for his company receives comparative Salaries and benefits, the average salary for his employees is 125k, along with the best healthcare and insurance money can buy. BLI also donates millions to charity, but refuses to use them as a tax write-off, as he believes strongly that doing so counteracts the purpose of charity.

-Breckenridge has a notable level of fame despite keeping his public appearances to a minimum. He's comparable to Elon Musk, albeit not as generally shitty of a person.

-Breckenridge has stated that the reason he chooses to openly display both his prosthesis and Fragmented mark is because "The choices I make can influence others in ways that are unimaginable. So, I chose to proudly display my prosthesis; so the veteran seeing me on the news understands that he doesn't need to be ashamed of his. So that the child with degenerative limb diseases doesn't believe something is wrong with her, because she has metal where others have skin. I don't hide who I am, because doing so would suggest that those like me should hide themselves as well. Every person alive deserves to be comfortable in their skin, and proud of who they are."

[Obscene Symphony]

@hagroden Thank you for your character submission! First off, I really like how you incorporated the side effects of being Fragmented into Breck's social difficulties. It's a great example of how being Fragmented can impact you even before you become Reunited or Lost, and I'm glad you took advantage of it.

Small detail, but important: Fragmented marks only appear on the right wrist. So if Breck lost his right arm, his Fragmented mark is just gone, won't reappear on his left wrist or anything like that. His Reunited mark, however, will appear somewhere on his existing body when he finds his soulmate. Along that same vein, it's not quite plausible for Breck's family not to have considered him being Fragmented; while it is very rare, doctors all over the world are aware of it, and would see the signs and explain the situation to the parent(s) when a Fragmented child is born. It also would be noted on his birth certificate, medical records and any other official identification, such as his passport and driver's licence/state ID (or whatever Americans have in place of a driver's licence for ID when people can't drive).

While I like the character concept, I have to admit that his education and business, well, you're squeezing a lot into 25 years. I'm also a bit concerned about his company specifically, since it does clash with some existing world lore. I'd love to talk to you over discord if you would, so we can discuss more easily ^_^

_Name
藤岡 栞 _{[Fujioka Shiori]} | Shiori Fujioka

_Age
21

_Gender
Female

_Sexuality
Heterosexual

_Appearance

Shiori

There isn't a single jet-black hair on her head or an inch of her porcelain skin that isn't meticulously taken care of. Her nails are always manicured, eyebrows perfectly plucked, and she goes well out of her way to take excellent care of her (arguably) perfect body both with diet and exercise. Everything she wears is specifically chosen to compliment her skin and winter tones while maximizing her fabulousness; she has the body to wear anything she pleases and she takes full advantage of it. Her outfits range but they are all cute and fashionable. Her makeup is usually on the lighter side, but if she's feeling adventurous she'll made it pop.

_Personality
Perky and inhumanely upbeat, Shiori Fujioka is a name most people won't go forgetting once they meet. She comes off as friendly and charming, though there is a certain cluelessness and tone-deaf pattern when it comes to certain topics. Being in the spotlight is a burden she carries very well, more than happy to keep the topic on herself and her multitude of whimsical stories about her past experiences. As a young adult she is somewhat immature and more than willing to throw money at whatever problems arise; it makes the world go round so it can solve any issues, too, right? Quick to judge and quicker to speak her mind (even if no one asked), she definitely gives off the image of a spoiled heiress. Shiori doesn't seem to be able to handle being alone for too long. She doesn't take it well when ignored, either, looking for other avenues for attention. While it'll likely be a cold day in hell before she ever admits it, the idea of ending up a nobody terrifies her to no end. It's easy to bury herself in her belongings or wealth or even a person so long as she satisfies her needs.

_Biography
Ushio Fujioka and Kaori Wataba were a pair of Fragmented souls destined for one another. With Wataba Software Engineering at its peak and the Fujioka Corporation looking to cement its place as the best technology company in Japan, their reunion spelled out great things for both companies. Of course, there was also the elation the two experienced, being one another's missing puzzle piece meant that happily ever after was all but guaranteed. Ushio was a stern man softened by his new wife while Kaori was content in being a trophy wife wholly dedicated to her husband, the pair's bond widely publicized and milked for all the good publicity it was worth. After years of a blissful marriage (and timed when the pair could take a break from their busy lives), they decided to start a family.

Spoiled even before she was born, Shiori didn't stand a chance against the wealth and luxury she was born into. Her every need was attended to the second the opened her mouth and she was given only the best: the top tutors, designer clothes, skincare procedures that could be used as a down payment for a home for most people. Everything about her life was out in the open, albeit for a majority of her life she felt like she was just floating along for the ride. Despite the image of having a picture perfect family, it became obvious during her teenage years that despite being living proof of her parents' love, they were more interested in sustaining their marriage than actually raising their children.

The neglect resulted in a lonely and sheltered upbringing, with Shiori relying on her nannies for parental support. Instead of producing a naive heiress, however, they created what the Yakima Academy for Girls called a monster. Talented and beautiful, it was easy for her to amass a following both in school and on social media, relying heavily on the validation of others. Being Fragmented only added to it; obviously she was destined for a soulmate, one that would be bound to her for life, one that couldn't leave or ignore her no matter what. If it was romantic or platonic then perfect, although even an antagonistic one meant that she actually meant something to someone. But until she found them, she would happily live her carefree life doing as she pleased.

When the letter arrived, she had initially assumed that it was some sort of sweepstakes she had won or something. After receiving some clarification, she decided that it was an opportunity to find her soulmate and a killer chance to have a celebration in such a prestigious location. It was basically a giant party to her, and so she bought an entirely new wardrobe, packed them into several bags, and booked a private flight there. Ready or not, Shiori Fujioka was coming!

_Other
She is currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration at the insistence of her father.
She is the second highest non-actor/non-singer followed on Instagram. Supposedly she's something of a fashion guru, but many know the heiress is known due to her father's company.
