Adding on some additional summaries since her wiki is severely lacking and missing how she was recruited into the talent agency in Starlight Stage.
- Arisu was recruited by the Producer (the Player) to an unnamed talent agency while she was searching for the book store. Initially, she was frightened, thinking the producer was suspicious for calling her out. She threatened to scream, until given the business card. She claimed that while she was not interested in idols, she was interested in lessons such as singing and dancing. Ultimately, she believed that her parents would allow her to participate in becoming an idol.
- She showed up early to the agency for her first lessons, confident that she could do anything. Preparations for her lessons with the trainer weren't ready and she was assigned to do self-lessons for the time being. The producer was strict on her, telling her that she still required improvement. Arisu learned that working as an idol is tougher than she thought. When the trainer finally arrived, she started working on her true, first lessons. After the producer asked for Arisu's thoughts on her lessons with the trainer, she claimed that it was neither good or bad, but she believed that the trainer was being easy on her due to being a child. On the other hand, she felt that she could trust the producer, since he was strict with her. She felt like she was being treated as a full-fledged idol.
- At her first publicity photo shoot, she explained to the producer that she was interested in getting into work that involved self-expression such as singing. When her photo shoot began, she had difficulty smiling naturally for the camera and came off as "too stiff."
- At her first job on a kigurumi (animal mascot costumes) show, she over-analyzed one of the costumes and explained her observations to the camera. The cameramen wanted Arisu to act more "childishly and innocently happy", but she didn't think it's part of her character. However, the producer saw right through Arisu, knowing that she was truly happy with cute, childish things like kigurumi and stuffed animals. After Arisu's second attempt at being on-camera, she showed her more childish side and took a liking to the mascot costume.
● (original) world: N/A
● abilities: Arisu has been trained to sing, dance, and carries the experience of being placed before a camera and microphone. Besides having vocal technique and performance skills, she's an average human being.
● strengths:
Mature - Mature and responsible, more than other children her age. Arisu is highly reliable and almost always left to her own devices while her parents are working. Her calm and cool demeanor might be even seen as more mature when compared to some of the other older girls within her workplace, who are much more childish and boisterous.
Supportive - Arisu gives assurance in tense situations through calming, heartfelt words and simply being present for a friend. She provides her support by taking up other jobs for friends, regardless if the task doesn't match her public image.
Honest and Logical - Her manner of speaking is usually logical and straightforward. Fumika refers to her speech as "pure, un-decorated words." She keeps her statements clear, usually to the point. Analogies sometimes fly over her head as she takes it literally, while she recommends a more frank answer.
Knowledgeable and eager - For anything Arisu lacks experience in, she has the knowledge. She does her research, often on her tablet. Not just limited to openly accessible resources, she also consults others on their own personal experiences. She's especially enthusiastic learning from older girls, wanting to know about their education or what makes their skin look beautiful for her future reference.
Open-minded - Arisu is granted the opportunity with working together with people of many different personalities in her talent agency. She is more mature than other children, yet doesn't reprimand her peers for behaving childishly and is usually seen getting along well with others. She takes an interest in everyone's unique personality, even those that irritate her. Her eagerness drives her to learn more about a person's likable qualities.
Observant - As a result of reading too many mystery novels, she's observant and tends to over analyze objects, sometimes even musing her inspections out loud.
● weaknesses:
Stubborn - She gets wrapped up in trying to act like an adult and doesn't openly embrace her more childlike qualities, although they are not necessarily negative aspects. She dislikes being called cute, treated like a child, or being referred by her first name, "Arisu" which sounds similar to the children's book, "Alice in Wonderland." She's quick to correct others to call her "Tachibana" instead. Though, she will allow anyone that has grown close enough to her to call her by first name. When behaving in a way that might seem childish, she's quick to catch herself in the act and becomes a blushing, stammering mess before trying to regain her quiet composure.
Honest and Selfless - Arisu isn't honest about her own wants and puts others before herself. While it's a positive trait to be selfless, there's importance in being able to care for oneself. When she wants the attention of her parents, she can't bring herself to speak to them and places the importance of their jobs over her own needs. Though she often speaks with honesty, she has her moments when she keeps her issues bottled up to avoid burdening others. However, it's easy to discern when she's troubled with her unusual behavior. If she can't speak honestly, then the truth that something is wrong will be written all over her face.
Competitive and challenging - She's easily baited into doing tasks out of her comfort zone, if she's convinced that she's doing something that will improve herself. Her nervousness shows, but she takes up the challenge all while insisting that it's something she's completely fine with. Challenges can be helpful to her self-improvement, but results sometimes lead Arisu into making a fool of herself. She becomes an easy victim of teasing.
● job skills (optional): Singing, dancing, being on-camera, and radio shows. She's interested in strengthening her singing expertise and wants a career in music. ● housing (optional): No preference!
● network username: a.tachibana
● network sample:
[ Whenever given a job to do a presentation in front of large groups of people or having to appear on a radio show, Arisu would always show a moment of hesitation and nervousness. Recording herself on the network to the public was no different. Singing and dancing in front of crowds felt easier, perhaps it's more easier for her to get into a musical mood.
She was unsure how to type out her thoughts and resorted to an audio recording for this moment.
The shakiness is easily notable in her voice, as she pauses in between words, trying to carefully formulate a sentence. ]
...good day. I'm Arisu Tachibana. Please call me Tachibana.
If I could have a moment of everyone's time, I thought it would be the best course of action to poll the public. I'm gathering data for my job. I have a few proposals for my next photo shoot.
So far it's... Tachibana Plan A: Science Fiction. Plan B: Uniforms. Plan C: Magic. Um... it's not limited to these proposals only. Please let me know if you have any further suggestions.
● prose/action sample:
Arisu Tachibana. Alice Tachibana. As much as she dislikes her given name, she's truly beginning to feel like "Alice in Wonderland" after coming out of the portal. The reality that she's in a new world and on a moon took a while to sink in and she did as much as she could to grill the attendants with questions, to ensure everything wasn't an elaborate stage prank set up by the talent agency. After that, she was introduced to her new home. What else could she do, but attempt to live a normal life until she was returned to her real home?
The first several days in the Quarantine wound up being annoying. She hated having to rely on a case worker to handle her meals and escort her to and from school. Granted, the free meals gave her extra time to do whatever else she wanted to do that day. It meant extra practice time for singing and dancing. Still, she felt like she was being treated like a child. At some point, she finally took matters into her own hands and started to prepare meals in the eating area on her own, just as she used to back home. Mother and father were too busy with work, so some days she had to be the one to prepare her own dinner.
With her trusty tablet in one arm, she scrolled through the network with ease for a recipe that was bookmarked earlier. She often used her tablet for research back home and did similar while in the Quarantine. Getting used to the technology was easy enough for her. Setting the device aside on the counter, she rolled up her sleeves and readied herself to start preparing the ingredients.
Pausing in the middle of chopping, she glanced back at the currently empty eating area. At the moment, she wondered if anyone on her floor were intending to come home from work. Or was anyone in their room, sleeping at the moment? Perhaps sometime, she should try to get to know them better.
Quietly, she wished for their company. Otherwise, this dinner would just be as lonely as the dinners without her parents.
