Basics
Name: Suzuka Himura
True Age: 30
Appearance Age: 20
Gender: Female
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 120
Appearance: Outfit Two: At first this was considered way too revealing to the parents of the children that she would sing for, but when it was explained that this costume is merely a modified bathing suit to fit the imagination of children that changed. If anything, they realized that with the bathing suit covering more than a normal bikini, which most of the customers and even parents were wearing, that it was completely appropriate and not a big deal at all. It's made out of the same fabric bathing suits are made out of, but is a little lighter to make sure she can keep up with her lifeguard duties while she is wearing it. Luckily she is a good enough swimmer that this bathing suit does not slow her down at all.
Personality: As stated later in her background, Suzuka was once an attention craving bitch who would do anything, including devastate and back-stab a friend, to keep her spotlight. After losing her friends, the spotlight, and the trust of her parents, Suzuka actually decided to switch around the way she was acting. She stopped all the fake smiles, the lying to impress. She stopped making fun of the people that were 'below' her and tried helping them. She turned to making people happy and stopped making them miserable. Because of this, she learned she actually enjoyed having true friends and even learned she loved being around children. She enjoys smiling because she means it and being kind to people who deserve it. Because she doesn't want to go back to being a liar, she can be a little blunt and straight forward, but she always tries to keep it nice enough to not damage a friendship. At work, Suzuka is a little different. During her job at Anseijima, she is told to keep up a certain 'aura' to keep certain types of customers happy. Towards women, she kind and gets them what they want rather quickly. Towards men, who are single, she acts a little seductive, flirtatious, and compliments them a lot, but always uses the line "comes with the job, cutie" to make sure they realize she is acting. On the weekends, when and if she is working, she is on lifeguard duty and singing for the kids who come there to hang out. Around children, she always gives off a motherly aura. She's caring, passionate, affectionate, and loving to any child she comes across. She absolutely enjoys singing for them and actually puts on the persona of a 'princess' to keep them happy and smiling. She does this by acting and speaking very lady like and being very proper. She always carries herself well, whether at work or not, and is very confident in her speech and actions.
A hobby that Suzuka has developed over time and realized she enjoys is cooking. When she turned fifteen, she realized she was horribly allergic to eggs and poultry, so she is forced to cook a lot of things from scratch. She can't have chicken or turkey, nor can she eat anything like cakes, cookies, waffles, and even some ice creams. If she wishes to eat pasta, she has to make it herself from scratch or be very careful of the brand that she buys. Suzuka is also pretty independent. After her parents cutting her off, she had to learn to survive on her own and do it pretty fast. She was no longer the pampered brat she was used to and the world hit her hard. Because of this, she stopped counting on anyone to help her and feels really awkward when they offer it. She usually does things alone and won't usually be caught asking for help unless she is overwhelmed, sick, or exhausted. Unfortunately, Suzuka has a very bad sense of direction so she is forced to memorize sights and signs. When she first moved into the area and didn't know any signs, she got lost practically every day when trying to find her apartment. This is also a great fear for her. She dreads the idea of getting lost and not being able to find her way home. At this moment, Suzuka has one main regret and that regret is the way she treated her friend Kanna Aikotsuki out of jealousy. She doesn't regret losing the popularity and being found out because that opened up this beautiful world she is now in, but she wishes to some day make amends with Kanna and just hopes for her forgiveness if she is ever given the chance to do so.
Character Background: Suzuka is a woman of many mistakes. Since her younger years, she has regretted a lot of stupid things in her life. Nothing she did was really horrible, but she lost friends, hurt people she cared for, and even lost the trust of her parents. Her first mistake was in Junior High. She was new to Karakura Town and just wanted to fit in. A few of the popular girls dared her to kiss one of the popular boys without asking him. Needless to say, she did it and he became her first boyfriend. It sounds like a cute story until you realize that she never even cared about him that way. She just wanted to be the popular girl dating the most popular guy in school. That year they were voted the cutest couple. She dumped him the next year, not really giving him any reason and that caused him enough heartbreak that he had his parents transfer him to a different school. She knew it was her fault. She lead him on for most of her first year in Junior High just to randomly dump him because she didn't feel like acting anymore. Through her Junior High years, her parents were very successful in bringing up their own chain of gourmet restaurants through out Japan. Over a short period of time, Suzuka became the popular, rich, and 'most beautiful' girl in school. In her first two years of High School she made a habit of picking on the poorer students and breaking the hearts of any guy that came forward. There were times that she would even insult and humiliate people just to impress some of the other girls. Over time, she became a real bitch and was so caught up in her own act that she forgot who she was. One day, she went too far and stole some of her parents money to buy her friends clothes, unaware to the fact that she was merely buying their friendship, they did not actually care about her.
Finally, her third year of High School came around and Suzuka was as bad as they could be. She craved the attention, practically needing it to function properly. She was looked up to by her 'friends' and felt this rush of power when people would ask her for advice, help, and practically beg her for some attention. All 'good' things have a habit of coming to an end though. Some girl suddenly showed up. Suzuka didn't know whether she was a new girl or had been there for a while, but Suzuka was immediately threatened by this girl's beauty, kindness, and the fact that a lot of attention was being stolen from her. Suzuka took the initiative and made friends with the girl over time. Her name was Kanna Aikotsuki. She was gorgeous from head to toe and a nice person at heart. Soon, Suzuka's popularity was dwindling, but she acted like she didn't care. She kept acting like Kanna's friend and noticed that around a certain boy, Kanna would get very shy and blush a lot. After some prying, Kanna came out and admitted that she liked the guy. After that, Suzuka asked the boy out and of course he said yes. The two ended up dating for a week before Kanna found out about it. Kanna attempted to call her out on it, but Suzuka faked a few tears and everyone turned against Kanna. They figured that Kanna's popularity wasn't even for her and said she need to stop being an attention whore. After that Kanna practically disappeared and once again Suzuka continued to be the most popular girl at school. It continued like that for a while, at least until someone spilled the beans about a certain conversation that Kanna and Suzuka had. At that moment, everything was out in the open and Suzuka was now the bad guy.
Now that everyone hated her and she wasn't getting all the attention she was used to, she had time to think about everything she had done. All of the hearts she broke, the people she hurt, the trust she lost. News of her actions and stealing went back to her parents and they got to the point where they could not trust her either. They stopped giving her allowance and kept her home after school. It got to the point where she wasn't allowed to go anywhere or do anything, at least until graduation. The moment she graduated her parents cut her off and told her it was time for her to grow up. She was forced to get a job and pay rent or live on her own. She started working at a small corner store and was able to keep the job for a year. She payed her parents rent for that entire time, but soon got sick of the distrust and the sickening looks that they would give her form time to time. Since she was able to save up some money, she moved out and got herself a small apartment, but it was too far away from her job and since she didn't have a car she was forced to find another. She found a job at a small cafe, but after a year it went out of business and she had to find another. Around that time, a massive tropical paradise center called Anseijima Restort opened up and she was able to get a job there. Over time the business expanded and she ended up joining a singing group. She only did it for the money and tips at first, but soon realized it was something she loved to do. She's been working there for eight years now and is currently one of the managers, along with life guard, waitress, and singer. She gets paid a damn good amount and is actually quite happy with her job.

Abilities: Mood Alteration: Suzuka has the ability to project a certain mood or feeling towards a person through conversation. This does not in anyway take away the free will of a person. It is similar to that feeling people get when they're around a certain person and they feel calm, happy, excited, nervous, or anything like that. She has the ability to project that onto them through conversation. For example, if someone was really angry because angry about something and began yelling. She can begin talking to them, telling them that things are okay and to calm down. A calm feeling will come over them and help them settle their minds. If someone was sad and she needed to be cheer them up. She'll say something along the lines of "It's okay. Things will get better. Try to cheer up." and project the mood she is attempting to bring to them. The person will feel a sense of happiness and hopefully it'll be enough to cheer them up. This is the ability that has actually allows her to keep her customers happy and help them keep their vacations, dates, and getaways at a comfortable and relaxing level.
