◣ Application ◢





APPLICATIONS ARE Closed


Applications will always be open from the 22nd until the end of the month, 12:00am EST.


Please note that as of July 28th, Vatheon will start working towards end game.


August 31st is the last day for applying. We will no longer open applications after that. Thank you for your consideration.




» Please make sure that you read the rules, and check the reserves before applying. People who do not read the rules will be rejected immediately.

» You are allowed to apply for two characters per application cycle. You may also reserve two characters. We will try to review each application as soon as possible. If longer than a week has passed and you have not heard back anything about your application, please drop us a message.

» Don't lie in your application. Don't copy / paste things from wiki. Keep what you post in your application strictly you. Sure, it's hard to add your own flair to writing history or a personality, but try to keep from summarizing too much. Show us your shine! Plagiarizing another player's application is ground for an immediate rejection.

» If someone has a reserve for a character, and you want to apply for them, you have the choice of either A) challenging the application with one of your own or B) waiting until the reserve expires and then applying/reserving as the character. If you challenge the original reserver, your application will not be reviewed until the original reserver has submitted theirs.

» Currently, the character limit is five characters. Any more is up to the mods, and must be discussed ahead of time with them. You may only apply for two characters from the same canon.

» Keep spamming to a minimum on the applications. Wait until that person is accepted into the game before holding out a conversation on a thread. Comment spamming here makes things cluttered, and a mod may accidentally miss something important. ( But feel free to comment-spam the Reserve page, if you'd like. )

» Please don't skip over any section of the application below.

» Please finish your application before posting. We reserve the right to decline any applications that are still unfinished when we process them.

» When reviewing applications, we take opinions of our members into consideration. If you would like to make a comment about an app that is being decided upon, do not hesitate. Here is where you can leave a comment with what you thought of another app. All comments will be screened for privacy, and the option to be anon will be left on. Do note, player opinions do not decide if an application is accepted or not, but will be taken into consideration.


☆ Player - - -


( Player Name ) : A nickname will work. Whatever you would like to be listed as.
( Personal DW ) : Not your character's journal. Your own, just in case one of the mods ever needs to contact you that way.
( Age ) : No players under the age of 15, please!
( Timezone ) : Just for reference sake!
( Other Characters ) : At Vatheon, that is. Please list in the following format.
Character ( Character's Journal ) | Series

☆ Character - - -


( Character's Name ) :
( Character's Age ) : There is no set age limit for the characters, and in fact, this is very flexible. So long as your character is mature enough to take care of him or herself and is mature enough for the game, they can be apped! As a basic guideline, think the maturity of someone around the age of 13 or so.
( Series ) :
( Canon Point ) : What part of the story of the series is your character coming in after? Did he or she just die? Did something traumatic just happen? Is it near the end, the beginning, or the middle? Tell us!
( Playability ) : If you are apping your second person for a particular canon, please give us a quick reasoning on why the characters would not be extensively interacting/how you are planning to avoid any playercest issues. If you are not apping from a canon you already play in, please disregard this section.

( History ) : You may provide us with a link to a wiki-page, or something else that will sufficiently give the Community and the mods background on your canon. If you wish to write out the history yourself, you still may do such.

( Personality ) : Probably the most important part of the application! Tell us what your character is like. We're looking for a well-developed analysis of the character. Perhaps between three to five paragraphs, roughly. Feel free to do more or less, however, if you think that better suits you. Most applications will be closer to the three than the five, and that's completely okay!

Just make sure to hit on crucial aspects of that character. What does he or she like? What does he or she hate? What are his or her motives? What parts of your character's past influenced how they are? Does your character act differently in front of different groups of people? Think of these questions as you write. Feel free to go off the page and focus on other questions. The above questions were just to get you thinking.

( Strengths/Weaknesses ) : So tell us! What can your character do well? What is your character weak against? Any cool spells? Good at picking locks? Anything you can think of, put it here.

( Other Important Facts ) : Have something else important to mention about your character that doesn't really fit in anywhere else? Be sure to include it here!

( Sample ) : This can be in first person or third person. There's no limit to your sample post. Just be sure to include your character's voice. Don't just write your character walking around! Be sure to include thoughts, quirks, and anything else that shows us you know your character. How would he or she react to the mark? How would he or she react to waking up some place new? Is he or she still brooding over something? The sample does not have to be set in Vatheon. You may also link to other roleplay threads; just be sure to give us something that shows how you plan to play them and clearly shows their voice! Or feel free to do a few of the above. Whatever you think will best show your characterization.

Please note! If you are linking samples, please make sure that at least one sample is from within the last three months. You are still free to link other samples that are older in addition, if you feel these would help show your ability to play the character, but at least one sample needs to be recent. Thank you.

If you are unable to think of a good starting point for a sample, we collected some prompts of situations that are pretty likely to happen within Vatheon to start you off. You are very welcome to deviate from these prompts or come up with something completely new. This is just something to hopefully help you get started:

A new curse has settled upon the city of Vatheon: Suddenly you character realizes they are unable to lie for the duration of a week. How do they react?

What is this? Is that rain? How nice-- wait a minute, is it raining rubber duckies? Seriously?

Suddenly, by the force of Vatheon, an over zealous npc, or even your character's friends playing a joke, your character suddenly finds themselves wearing clothes they otherwise would never wear. What do?

The city of Vatheon is under attack (again). Giant sea-creatures are wrecking the city (again). Time to prepare for battle.

A new plot development has happened and your character has decided to get some more information from one of the NPCs. How do they proceed?

( Character's Name ) : Eric Surt
( Character's Age ) : 18
( Series ) : K
( Canon Point ) : End of Anime
( Playability ) :

( History ) :
http://k-project.wikia.com/wiki/Eric_Sutr 

( Personality ) :
Eric is a very blunt and almost rude young man that doesn’t seem to care about anything at first. When he first goes to Homra, Eric refuses to speak anything but English to Yata because Yata had been rude in their first meeting. Only after gentle prodding from another member of the group, Fujishima, does he begin to say things more politely. Because of the way he lived before that, he didn’t need any manners or he just never learned or cared about them.

Another way that shows his past situation is that he is a very quiet person. Generally seen just sitting and not moving from that spot or following someone else as they do an errand, Eric is very awkward in actual social situations. He is either soft spoken or snaps at people; there is rarely an in-between.

Eric does not think very highly of himself. Because of the environment he had lived in for quite some time, he refers to himself as a dog, something that obeys orders and receives food as a reward. This is also why he has trouble eating normally, or asking for soe food when he's hungry. If his use were to dry up, he would be killed, so he tried to remain useful in order to live. Even though he wasn’t treated nicely by his former group, he remained because of his loyalty, saying that it was his whole world before Homra had defeated them. He had never even thought, or believed that he deserved, to ask for help, believing he was nothing more than a lowlife. Now that he is a part of Homra, Eric sticks with them; Homra is his new home. His loyalty to them showed even earlier, when he was shocked and worried over hurting Fujshima, whom had saved his life and helped him while he stayed at the bar. He had been trying to kill Totsuka at the time, but he had been ordered to. He had to kill Totsuka or Mikoto, or die.

Because of his time with Homra, however, Eric has gotten better and has opened up a lot more over the past year and a half. No longer as awkward as he was before, he is able to voice his opinion more, eat more, and be able to interact with more people. He still is quiet and can still be rude and blunt to others he doesn’t know as well. Homra’s influence has given him a better outlook on life and has slowly been replacing his bad memories with good ones.

( Strengths/Weaknesses ) :
Strengths:
- Can use knife and flames to fight
- Was able to survive in rather disturbing and abusive environment
- Bilingual, able to speak both Japanese and English
- Has some skill with computers

Weaknesses:
- Socially awkward and doesn’t interact a lot
- Doesn’t know how to swim well
- Still doesn’t eat as properly as one should

( Other Important Facts ) :
Because Eric is from HOMRA he is able to wield red flames. It’s never stated how well he can control them but he rarely uses them and he can use them averagely.

( Character's Name ) : Klarion Bleak
( Character's Age ) : Klarion technically is Ageless but he looks in his teens
( Series ) : Young Justice
( Canon Point ) : End of season 2
( Playability ) : N/A

( History ) : Young Justice Wiki

( Personality ) : 

Klarion is shown as acting like a spoiled brat, constantly saying "I want it!" or "Are we there yet?" only to get huffy and cause problems with others when he doesn't get his way. On top of this Klarion is very much a sociopath who takes great pleasure in creating chaos and from time to time hurting other people. He can be cruel, vicious, and spiteful...but at the same time seems to hold a playfulness that is still very childlike, even given his 'ageless' status, throwing tantrums when things don't work out, and screaming angry threats that are made less intimidating by the childish way in which he does it.

If Klarion even suspects that he may in fact be winning, he tends to get over confident and stops paying attention to what is really going on, normally about this time Teekl will step in and make a comment...only for Klarion to tell her that he is paying attention, even if he isn't.

Along with his child like manner Klarion has quite a sweet tooth when it comes to anything that contains either artificial or real strawberry flavoring.

Klarion tends to be impulsive and does what he wants to do no matter what others thinks, usually demanding instant gratification. Once again, when he doesn't get this he tends to act like a child and throws a fit. His loyalty to his 'team' also known as The Light seems to be tenative at best. While he is constantly seen helping Vandal Savage he tends to leave with only him and no one else. He also has a habit of abandoning his allies if they are defeated, not seeming to care for their well being at all.

That having been said there is at least one thing or really a creature that Klarion holds above all else, and that would be his cat like familiar Teekl. She is the one thing that he seems to truly love. This could be because Teekl has been with for longer than either can remember. Even so her high place in his view does not stop the Lord of Chaos from insulting his familiar during one of his temper tantrums.

For someone who is so child-like and chaotic, Klarion is surprisingly old school. Specifically when it comes to his clothing. While he does not don the old pilgrim like outfit from the comics Klarion does wear clothing that covers all but the top of his neck, his face, as well as his hands and wrists.


( Strengths/Weaknesses ) :
Klarion is a Lord of Chaos, and as such is a powerful magic user. According to Nabu, also known as Dr. Fate, he is chaos personified and cannot be contained. Much like Nabu, he also f needs an anchor of some sort to keep himself in the physical world. This role is filled by his familiar Teekl. He is able to manifest his powers in many forms, including, but not limited to:
  • Flight
  • Energy blasts
  • Magical constructs
  • Psychokinesis
  • Teleportation
  • Portals
  • Shapeshifting
  • Technomancy
  • Telepathy with his familiar Teekl
  • Transmutation
As for weaknesses, he seems to only have one, and that is Teekl herself. If she is harmed in any way or killed Klarion will be thrown back to his own realm. Because of this he keeps Teekl close, though still allows her to take part in some battles as long as he has altered her shape first.

Please note that I am more than wiling for his powers to be knock down or completely gone, seeing as he can be considered a very over powered character. The only power I would ask not to be taken from him would be his telepathy with Teekl.

( Other Important Facts ) : None that I can think of at this moment.

( Sample ) :
   --First Person--

[Klarion didn't know who did it and right now he didn't care, his feed clicked on and all the network would see was a very irate witch boy. Around his shoulders Teekl seemed to be purring and kneading his collar.]

I want to know right now! Who did this!?

[As he ranted he motioned to himself, instead of his usual suit and tie, Klarion was wearing a ocean blue short sleeved shirt and a pair of white board shorts. Because of this his pale, scrawny, arms and legs were showing. Of course, Klarion was trying to cover as much up as possible.]

Who ever did this, I want my clothes back and I want them right now!

Merow.

Shut up Teekl! [He looks from his cat to the feed.] Either give them back or I will bring the chaos!

--Third Person--

Looking up at the creature that was terrorizing the plaza, Klarion couldn't help but grin maliciously. Why should he help? After all, this was more chaos than he had seen since he got here! It was fun watching everyone scramble about as he sat there, floating in mid air. Laughing to himself he rubbed his hands together, seeming to enjoy the terrified screams more than most people would.

"Merow." Teekl yowled in his ear, If this place is destroyed what do you think will happen to us? She mentally berated him, her voice sounding as if she were rolling her eyes. Of course this caught Klarion's attention and he had to agree....begrudgingly at best.

Huffing Klarion nodded. "I suppose I should help." He said as he let his feet touch ground and rubbed his hands together, gathering the mystic arts to summon bright red flames that enveloped his hands. He may not have liked it, but he did at least value his own life, and Teekls of course.

( Canon Point ) : Post-"Magical Mystery Cure"
( Playability ) : N/A

( History ) :
Rarity's Wiki

( Personality ) :
Within everyone there is beauty, there is charm, and there is fabulosity... though there's absolutely no reason to remind Rarity of that! For you see, Rarity–or Miss Rarity, if you please–already lives by this very motto. And even if it takes a little effort to help one discover their beauty, this stylish pony will always be ready and willing to work her magic.

The spirit of generosity itself, Rarity is the talk of the town, the belle of the ball, and the star of the show. And why wouldn't she be? Creative and passionate, Rarity adds unique flair into everything she does, an admirable ability which contributes to much more than her dresses, hats, and jewels. For you see, Rarity truly wishes to help everyone see the beauty in themselves and though sometimes she may show hesitance or hold her fair share of trepidations, truthfully she is not afraid to lend a helping hoof to those who need it.

But do not let her sweet side fool you! For beneath her well groomed and elegant exterior, Rarity can be quite the fighter. She proves time and time again that she is perfectly capable of defending and protecting herself as seen when a trio of diamond dogs kidnaps her and tries to force Rarity into searching and digging up gems for them. Remarkably and to the shock of her peers, Rarity manages to whine her way out of her captors' clutches... and all with grace and expertise, might we add! We can also witness Rarity's strength shine in the way she reprimands Prince Blueblood for his incompetence or dares to challenge a group of the Canterlot elite by being the only pony to cheer for her good friend Fluttershy when she nearly ruins her career during an important fashion show. As we can plainly see, Rarity is fierce and fearless.

Sometimes such confidence and forwardness gets the better of Rarity, however, and as a result to some she may come off as snobbish or bossy. But the truth is that Rarity is just very passionate about life and what she sets her mind to. A full fledged dreamer, she aims for perfection and will stop at absolutely nothing until she achieves that and then some... even if her dreams seem impossible! To that end, at times her attitude and bravado can startle others and, as seen with ponies like Applejack, even unnecessary or impractical. Perhaps it can be said that Rarity lacks barriers, or at least does not yet realize exactly where those lie. Obsessed with her need to impress, she is prone to overexerting herself and biting off much more than she can chew.

All in all, Rarity is a beautiful pony inside and out and she would be hard pressed to find anypony who disagrees.

( Strengths/Weaknesses ) :
Being a unicorn, Rarity is able to perform magic such as the following.

Levitation: Typically Rarity lifts lighter objects with her magic including but not limited to fabrics, saddle bags, paper, and jewels.

Object manipulation: While levitating items or simply by commanding them, Rarity can manipulate objects from a distance. For example, she can power her trusty sewing machine or stitch with needle and thread without having to lift a hoof.

Gem locating: She's kind of like a metal detector! As a filly, Rarity discovered her special talent for finding rare and beautiful jewels hidden within rocks and deep below the ground. The aura of her horn acts as a tracking mechanism which leads Rarity to a particular spot and highlights the hidden treasures underneath.

Fashion: With her magic or not there is no doubt that she is a creative and stylish pony with a penchant for designing the most beautiful and elegant of ensembles for all of Equestria. Rarity's been known to sew together dresses in a very short amount of time along with wigs, hats, and pieces of jewelry. If she's wearing anything, one can rightly assume she's made it all herself.

Charm: Rarity certainly has a way with words. As seen with how she woos a ferocious dragon and her stallion neighbors, she need only bat an eyelash to get what she wants. She can be very persuasive when she wants things to go exactly her way.

Weaknesses are as follows:

Vanity: Let's face it. Rarity loves herself and while this is admirable, her overt vanity can often times lead to a few slip ups. For example, dust, dirt, grime and even rain can easily distract her. When she's climbing out of a hole the diamond dogs try to drag her through, she nearly escapes only to fall right back when her hoof touches dirt and she panics. Most notably in the Sonic Rainboom episode, Rarity's vanity controls her so much she neglects to support Rainbow Dash in favor of making herself more appealing to the public of Cloudsdale.

( Other Important Facts ) :

[ Character's Name ] : Cecil
[ Character's Age ] : Unknown
[ Series ] : Welcome to Night Vale
[ Canon Point ] : After the episode "First Date".

[ History ] :
And now we cry because WtNV doesn't have its own wiki, or a character history on wikipedia, so I have to write it out myself. Edit: There is a wiki, but there's not much here :(((

We know very little about Cecil, in any real sense. He is a man who is not short, and who is not tall, not fat or thin, and who may have "black eyes" and wears a tie. He lives in the strange small Southwestern United States town of Night Vale, which exists in the midst of a very hot desert.

Night Vale seems on the surface like a normal town in some ways. It has an Arby's and a bowling alley. People work and go to school and do all the normal things people do. But it doesn't take much to get under that surface. The town is filled with corrupt government and police, demonic presences, shadowy hooded figures, dragons, tentacled beasts, and angels. Regular people engage routinely in supernatural actions, and a blood stone circle is considered a normal and desirable thing to install at a public park. Pens and books are banned, and no one is permitted to question the moon.

Cecil has a show on the local Night Vale Community Radio station. He reports on local news, traffic, and the weather. Much of what he talks about are local happenings, such as PTA meetings, meetings of the city council, or odd power outages. All the bizarre things that go on in Night Vale are announced in matter-of-fact fashion, no differently from mundane happenings.

We know that Cecil once went on a long trip in Europe and visited several strange places, including one city where he was trapped for many years. Otherwise, it seems he's always been in Night Vale. He was likely born there, and will die there.

Beyond that, we know nothing about Cecil, including his last name or appearance beyond the fact that he's of average height. It's speculated by some that Cecil is some kind of demon. I think it's because of references he made to having been on the air "now and forever", but I'm not sure exactly. As canon is ongoing, I won't make any fundamental assumptions of that nature, however I do enjoy a particular headcanon that Cecil looks different to each person who sees him. He's essentially a voice, a personality, and the rest of him is mutable - though each person will recognize him for the same Cecil they've always seen. If it's all right with the mods, I'd like to use this headcanon in Vatheon.

One last thing. From the first episode of Night Vale, Cecil has had a beautiful, precious crush on a new scientist who moved to town named Carlos. In the last episode, Cecil and Carlos went on their first date.


[ Personality ] :
The most important thing to Cecil is reporting the news. He prides himself on being a reporter, on uncovering and reporting on the things that he learns. With great courage, he has interviewed a mysterious hooded figure, reported on forbidden subjects like the moon, the Dog Park, and the Shape in Grove Park That is Neither Acknowledged Nor Talked About.

Cecil is a product of his town. He vocally supports the city council and sheriff's secret police, because anything else is a thought crime. He is unskeptical about all of the bizarre things that happen, and takes everything from dinosaur attacks to alien invaders in stride. He works for an unknown, violent tentacled monster called the Station Managers. All of this is completely normal to him, and he reports on it in that spirit. He tends to be quite optimistic as well, reporting on rather horrific events as cheerfully as happy ones.

Death is commonplace in Night Vale, and it doesn't seem to give him great pause. Once he made an error in reporting zero deaths after a dinosaur attack, when in fact there were 38 deaths. When he discovered the error, he reported it in the same tone he might report the mis-pronouncing of a name. He expresses condolences and sympathy at the deaths of his interns, but there's no true sorrow in his voice during those times. His most powerful emotion comes at times of personal stress. For example, when he's in personal, mortal danger, his fear is obvious. Furthermore, when he meets his doppleganger from Night Vale's eternal, bitter rival town, Desert Bluffs, he shows unbridled hatred and disgust, as well as horror at the blood-spattered state of the Desert Bluffs radio booth.

Cecil is also quite philosophical. For all that he seems to be overall cheerful and unbothered by the deaths of innocents, he does seem to care about his listeners. He offers tips and warnings sincerely, and often gets rather "personal", making editorials about real issues like being a good neighbour. At times, he voices personal concerns, such as when he had a rather solipsistic crisis and worried he was the only one alive in the world. He also expresses sincere emotion whenever he talks about "beautiful, perfect" Carlos. Sometimes, he reflects aloud about the nature of life, or death, or what the moon might be.

Finally, one definitely doesn't want to cross Cecil. He tends to take certain things personally, and to greatly dislike individual people in the town. People who might actually be vile, he passes over completely (such as the mayor, who probably consorts with demons, or is one herself), while people he finds to be "spoil sports", are "bigots", or who want to "ruin the town" he speaks about with vitriol, and publicly calls them off when they're being jerks. Telly the barber is probably the worst of these, as Telly cut Carlos' hair short, and Cecil publicly called him out on the radio with venom in his voice, implying that he should be punished for his transgression. A few episodes later, Telly had gone mad and wandered into the desert. It's unknown whether his madness is related to Cecil's anger or not, but it very well might have been.


[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Cecil is intelligent, resourceful, and seems to be quite the survivor. He's living in an extremely dangerous place, yet he has found happiness and seems to squeak out of dangerous situations. He takes things personally at times - sometimes too personally.


[ Other Important Facts ] :
Nothing I can think of.


[ Sample ] :
This post opening is an example of how I'd play him. Possibly by the time you read this, there will be tags to go with it XD If you want more, please let me know and I'm happy to write a sample.


[ Questions? Comments? Concerns? ] : My plan for Vatheon is for him to cover the end game by making weekly or biweekly posts on the network as if he had a radio station, and to possibly actually get himself a radio gig. I'll ask players to submit interesting or funny happenings for him to report on, and do short posts in the vein of WtNV. Of course, he'll reply to comments, because it's a network post, not a radio monologue, and at times he'll also participate in logs in person.

( Character's Name ) : Monaka Miyama-Uguisu
( Character's Age ) : 15
( Series ) : The Miyama-Uguisu Mansion Incident
( Canon Point ) : post-story

( History ) :
Monaka eventually becomes Shiemi in Blue Exorcist, and expands on how she deals with the world around her after she has been freed from her spell. But while Shiemi’s seclusion was self-imposed and she had to struggle with her own self confidence in order to grow into a stronger person, Monaka was forced and coerced into believing that all that she loved had loathed her. Her seclusion was imposed upon her by an unbearable fear of water and the outside world. Her uncle (possessed as he was by the demon Pazuzu) had spoken lies to her, planting the seed of fear into her. Though he took away her freedom, he could not take away her passion or her love for her craft. He could tell her to make flower arrangements (and she could have refused) but she continued. She was the last of her family’s name and she knew that she had a duty to uphold it. She loved flowers, loved to see them speak to others in their silent but beautiful language, and she was more than grateful that she had been able to share that world with her friend, Night.

Monaka grew up under the care of her loving parents. She aspired to be as beautiful as her mother and as talented as her father. Her dream was to take over the family business someday, a dream that she had already started working towards. At a young age she had possessed a keen eye for an artistic balance between nature and humanity. This close attention to detail balance was best shown when she discovered the lone and frightened creature in her family’s garden.

To her young eyes she had seen a cat. There was no demon in the woods, nothing evil or discontent about the skittish creature. Monaka coaxed it from its hiding place, and slowly but surely, they became attached to one another. She named her companion, “Night” because of the color of his fur. If her parents noticed anything odd about Monaka’s friend their neither cared nor concerned themselves with its oddities. Their daughter was happy and the creature had brought no harm to them. Monaka confided in Night as she would have to any child her age, had she any recurring friends in the mansion. She was unaccustomed to having a friend and Night’s companionship proved to be more than enough to bring the young girl out of any shell that might have formed around her. But one day Pazuzu, the demon that Night once served, took notice of Monaka and desired her for himself. He possessed her cruel uncle and snaked his way into her family’s business. Her parents’ abrupt deaths soon followed. Monaka had been playing by the river when she slipped. Her parents died trying to save her, or so Pazuzu made her believe. The guilt of her parents’ death and the shock it left her in turned her hair white over the course of a few months. Soon after her uncle gained guardianship of her and her company. He whispered lies to her, lies that would embed within her the fear of the outside world and of water.

In her moment of grief, she asked her friend not to leave her side. However after the night she made her request, she never saw or heard from Night again. With that connection severed, she all but succumbed to the tormenting voice of the demon. But a part of her never did believe she had been abandoned completely, that same small part of her that was still a child. She still longed to hear stories, to be held and spoken to until the late hours of the night. She wanted to love and be loved. Monaka was a child, forced away from the world but more than willing to embrace it once it stopped being so frightening. She grew up around nature and she loved everything about it. The flowers she arranged even under the demands of her uncle had been done so carefully and elegantly. In one way, she did not want to tarnish her family’s name. In another, she had not desired to separate herself completely from the world she once loved so much.

A month before her sixteenth birthday, an unnamed exorcist came to her home to exorcize a demon. She was forced to confront her greatest fears and the very man who had put her through so much pain and terror in the past ten years of her life. In the exorcist, she had glimpsed something familiar. It was a relic from her past that would strengthen the resilience within her and spur her into action. After the demon had been defeated and her own ties to it broken, she was able to embrace a lifestyle she had only dreamed about before (of seeing new people and making arrangements out of love rather than out of fear). At the end of her trials, Monaka believed she had seen her dear friend one last time before returning to her new life.

( Personality ) :
Monaka has a head full of dreams, and a heart that’s ready to move forward with her life. However, as she lived her life with her uncle, she rarely voiced her aspirations. She has her own set of fears and has had to develop her own method to deal with them. After her uncle was removed from her life, Monaka was able to embrace what she had once loved. She is a child of nature, a soft spoken and quiet girl who wants nothing more than to find the harmony that exists between nature and humanity, like the flower arrangements she has grown around all of her life. Her dedication to her flowers has become such a huge part of herself that she can hardly imagine what life would be like for her outside of her room, and later extended to her own four walls. While Monaka has invited people to her home and seems to have conducted lessons in flower arrangement to younger children, she has not left her home. She hasn’t changed out of her own kimono, but she is sitting outside nonetheless. While she may not be aware of it, it will take more than a few short declarations to separate herself entirely from the deep rooted fear that once dominated her life.

Monaka still retains a semblance of childishness, despite the pain that surrounded her for ten years. She asks for stories from strangers, eager as she is to hear about the outside world. Before her parents’ death, she enjoyed going outside and playing in the flower garden. In a small way she feels that her fear is both irrational, but it is incredibly difficult for her to ignore the impulse. Try as she might to overcome that part of her that runs from open doors and cowers at the thought of being submerged in water, it has been rooted into her psyche. It will take time for the wounds to heal completely. For the moment, Monaka is more than happy to live life as she wants to. Knowing that she doesn’t have to obey the word of her uncle, she has been freed in a small way. Monaka ventures out as far as she is able. But she knows that she wants to venture further, to experience everything life has to offer.

Like the character she eventually became (Shiemi Moiryama from Blue Exorcist) Monaka wants to explore the world like most children her age. She’s lived a sheltered life, far from technology and current events. New slang or gestures that may seem like second nature to everyone but her will be a whole new aspect of the world she’d want to explore. She’s had to arrange flowers and live under the rule of a demon who was preparing her to be his meal. She was shut away from most technological advances, denied even glimpse into a world she had only known as a child.

Monaka’s life has not been an easy one, but she faces each day with a quiet endurance. Despite the casualties that seem to follow her life, and even as her own resolve grows thin, she does not allow herself to cave into to her uncle’s brutal punishments. It is a hard strength that grew within her but it did not harden into a shell. Instead it became a rock she could hold on to while she tried to remember to smile in the face of adversity. With her uncle’s influence gone towards the story’s end, Monaka has been able to open up. She hasn’t blossomed entirely, but she has taken a small step away from the gloomy life she had once led.

As a child, Monaka was bright and quick to smile. She carried a simple vocabulary and saw the world through rose colored lenses. Everyone and everything was a potential friend, someone that could easily be trusted. She wasn’t very creative when it came to naming her friends, but her creativity did not lie in her diction or use of language. It shone through her work with flower arrangement. She spoke with her hands and her craft, carefully choosing the best flowers in her arrangements. Monaka was happy. At sixteen, after her brush with the demon Pazuzu, Monaka is learning how to smile again. Within the masion and her guests, she is able to laugh again and feel a new sense of hope. She had little reason to be happy beforehand and her eyes showed too clearly the pain she felt inside. She spoke quietly and demurely, keeping her head low and out of site. Yet, even under the pressure of her uncle’s demands, Monaka remained steadfast and showed not an ounce of emotion. She learned to hide them away, though Pazuzu did his best to draw it out through physical abuse. Emotionally, she had been scarred and in pain. Physically, she could still be harmed and beaten down, and Pazuzu took full advantage of it in order to further Monaka’s humiliation and forced subjugation.

( Strengths/Weaknesses ) :
Monaka’s greatest strengths lie in her creativity and endurance. Even Pazuzu had to recognize her talents in flower arrangements when she was able to create a delicate, yet powerful arrangement with such a large base. Though her talents were used by Pazuzu to further her misery, it had only helped to decrease it. She was able to endure tolerate the physical and mental abuse of her uncle to the point where she was able to maintain a part of herself through her art.

Her weaknesses are more mental hurdles than physical ailments. Her near-death experience and her parent’s deaths are still a source of guilt and anguish for her. She still has a lingering phobia of water, which manifests itself as an automatic psychological response. While Monaka is more than ready to embrace the outside world, she has not seen much of it. Because of her lack of exposure, she’s fairly naïve and gullible.


( Other Important Facts ) :
Monaka grew up as the heiress to a very important flower arrangement business. She tends to place her work and her life on the same pedestal since her work is very close to her heart. The company means a lot to her and she’ll do what she can to maintain that image. Monaka is still a child though, so while she can appear to be distant it’s only due to a small amount of shyness caused by her sheltered life.
She isn’t the best gardener. As she’s learning to overcome her fears, she’s starting to learn how to work with plants and garden tools. She is a hard worker.
