Hello, Queen of Hearts! I am Hicku, I am utter fresh meat, psyched to be here, and I bring you two hopefully fun new additions to the game!

The first one is this girl here, Tara Maclay of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She's your average peace and love flower child magic girl who's always ready to offer a shoulder to cry on. Besides that, she's had a crappy life all around on a lot of fronts, so she might be able to understand your trauma better than you'd think to look at her. She's the sort of girl that doesn't draw a lot of attention to herself but is good for providing some positivity and emotional stability for her friends. Just don't push her too far.

The other one is Chihiro Ogino (whataprettyname ), from Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away that if you haven't seen you have no soul. I tweaked Chihiro a bit. She was ten at the end of the movie but I've aged her up to thirteen for this game, with the assumption that she's spent three years in the little town that her parents were moving her to in the first place. According to Word of God, she lost her memories of the events of the movie at the end of it, but given the general environment around their home, I figured that she's gotten some hints of What's Really Out There in the years since then, and so this might change while she's here. Chihiro is a good kid who tries her best to help and always, always follows the rules. She works hard and keeps an open heart, so she tends to make friends pretty easily. The beginnings of adolescence are starting to mess with her head a bit, though, so her tendency towards temper tantrums and bursting into tears with too much provocation has start to return...

Anyway, I'm really happy to be in the game with you all! I can't wait to start playing, and I hope we can have fun together ♥.

Welcome to the game! I'm Enzel, and I play Xion here from Kingdom Hearts, as well as a genderswapped Guy Cecil from Tales of the Abyss. I'm totally excited to see Tara, especially. She was always my favorite. ;w;

[moontothetide]

^-^ Hey, Enzel! Nice to meet ya! Man, I always used to think Tara was an underappreciated character - then I got into RP! I hope I can play her up to your expectations.

Hello, and welcome to the game! It's really great to have you here. I'm Fox, and I know you--I play Zidane and Hojo in Animus.

Here, I play Kuja as well as Kariya Matou from Fate/Zero (who I'm sure can empathize on the crappy life front).

I'm really excited to see Chihiro. I love that movie. ♥

[whataprettyname]

O_O Well, then! I actually did not know that. Well, I don't think we ever were properly introduced at Animus, so nice to meet you again, Fox! If Kariya would ever like to talk about her crappy life, well, you know Tara's good to listen.

Chihiro is a muse that has always stuck with me~. But this is the first time I've played her anywhere since Splendor, so...hoping it goes well!

[tosaveyou]

Haha, yes, I've been playing here for a while now. It's definitely nice to meet you again as well, and I hope you have fun playing here. I'm very excited to play with both your characters. I do love the idea of post-movie Chihiro discovering things about the world.

Kariya and Tara have a few things in common, actually--they're both natural magic users with a terrible family life.

And that's true of Kuja as well--fortunately, she's a bit chill after having been here a while.

Hi, welcome! Hope to have a chance to bounce our ladies off one another soon! :D

[whataprettyname]

Yeah, definitely! :) Can't wait to thread with you.

[fionna_time]

DUDE, TWO OF THE MOST AWESOME...YAYGASZMS EVERWHERE!

In other words, excitement! I can't wait to see them!

[moontothetide]

Well, I can't wait to play them! So, I guess that works out all around then~. Certainly glad to see that you're excited to see them, though - I hope I can live up to your expectations!

[fionna_time]

As a big fan of Buffy and a HUGE fan of Spirited Away, I don't think you will!

See if you can hit up Fi when you get the chance! I can see her liking both of them!

Oh, and Fionna from that one gender swapped episode of Adventure Time!

[moontothetide]

I'll certainly keep an eye out for her! I might not be able to intro Tara for a couple of days, but Chihiro I hope to get in tonight.

[heartovertime]

Oh! Welcome! I'm Char and I play Homura Akemi from Madoka☆Magica who knows a lot about having a crappy life too.

I used to play Willow like a billion years ago so I'm super glad to see Tara! And Ghibli heroines are always great!

[whataprettyname]

It certainly does seem like Chihiro is the odd girl out here, what with having a reasonably happy family life despite being stranded in the bathhouse. Hell, one of her real issues at the start was that she was a total brat.

\o/ Always nice to meet new Buffy players, even if they're old Buffy players. Needless to say, especially since she's post-"Seeing Red", I figure Tara will be happy here.

Hello Hicku, and welcome to the game! I'm Pip and I play Subaru Nakajima here from Magical War Chronicle Lyrical Nanoha Force (who lives at / "runs" the onsen here, which is nothing like the bathhouse Chihiro is used to, to assure you!), and also "Mugi" Kotobuki from K-On!! (the exclamation points are required).

Looking forward to tagging you onceeeee I figure out some post-event stuff, aheh. :3

[whataprettyname]

^-^ Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten there was an onsen listed here! I'd be happy to have Chihiro end up there and experience some kind of flashback type deal. It would help her get her memories back.

Ah, yes, I did notice skimming through my new reading list that I seem to have come in at the end of something. Looking forward to tagging you, too, but no worries and feel free to take your time!

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Perfect character building chance there, from the sound of it. :D
