She's energetic, friendly, and intelligent, although her dyslexia and ADHD often get in the way of her schoolwork. She fights for optimism but is very poor, and lives in an old, tiny apartment with her father. Her father is a construction worker, and thus doesn't bring in much money. Mayumi's mom disappeared a while back during the a low depression (her dad suspects she is bipolar). Mayumi doesn't really have a good relationship with her father, because he's always working and when he's not, he's too tired to talk. For an energetic girl bursting with creative energy and wanting to be challenged, it's a bit frustrating. She doesn't know how to deal with her dyslexia and ADHD, and she hates taking the medication because it makes her tired. She was held back during her elementary school days, and lives ashamed of it, especially because she always knows she could do better if only she didn't have dyslexia or ADHD. Still, Mayumi knows that she IS smart, and won't stop trying to prove it to herself. She's been finding ways to get around her dyslexia for years, and she's not planning on stopping anytime soon.[/style][STYLE=margin-top:20px; height:20px; border-bottom:8px solid #ABB4BB; font-family: arial; font-style:italic; font-size:28px; letter-spacing:-2px; color:#D78C8C; text-shadow:#000000 1px 1px 1px; text-align: right; text-transform:lowercase]friends[/style][STYLE=background-color:#474C51; font-size:10px; text-align:justify; padding:3px; color: #A0A8AC;]Unless you're selfish to people in front of her, Mayumi will be your friend. She's not very judgmental except for selfish people, because she's grown up with so little. She doesn't like mean people, but it you're mean... she'll still be your friend. She loves people, and love to talk to them. Especially if you'll let her take pictures of you. She likes to sneak into the Izumi Chou campus after hours to take photos, too.[/style] [STYLE=margin-top:-30px; height:20px; border-bottom:8px solid #ABB4BB; font-family: arial; font-style:italic; font-size:28px; letter-spacing:-2px; color:#D78C8C; text-shadow:#000000 1px 1px 1px; text-align: right; text-transform:lowercase]enemies[/style][STYLE=background-color:#474C51; font-size:10px; text-align:justify; padding:3px; color: #A0A8AC;]Enemies of Mayumi are people that are too selfish or mean for her to handle. It takes a lot for her to hate someone, but if they decide to hate her (she can be quite annoying because she is energetic and talkative), she will fight back.[/style] [STYLE=margin-top:-30px; height:20px; border-bottom:8px solid #ABB4BB; font-family: arial; font-style:italic; font-size:28px; letter-spacing:-2px; color:#D78C8C; text-shadow:#000000 1px 1px 1px; text-align: right; text-transform:lowercase]romance[/style][STYLE=background-color:#474C51; font-size:10px; text-align:justify; padding:3px; color: #A0A8AC;]Although she tends not to show it, Mayumi's been through a lot. She's not ready to trust people in a romantic way, at least that's what she tells herself. She's good with meaningless flings or flirting, though. ;)[/style] [STYLE=margin-top:-30px; height:20px; border-bottom:8px solid #ABB4BB; font-family: arial; font-style:italic; font-size:28px; letter-spacing:-2px; color:#D78C8C; text-shadow:#000000 1px 1px 1px; text-align: right; text-transform:lowercase]others[/style][STYLE=background-color:#474C51; font-size:10px; text-align:justify; padding:3px; color: #A0A8AC;]Any ideas, reply below! :) [/style]

Anyone? Anyone?

[MINAMOTO, KENJI]

Kenji && Mayumi

Okai so lets see what we got here. An Upper-Middle class kid and the struggling poor girl. Oh yeah we got something to work with here. Now Kenji despite being well pretty much a jerk with a heart of gold, he'd have a real gigantic soft spot for Mayumi and they would be really good friends imo. He'd probably help her out ANYTIME she needs it, like even if it means waking up at 1am in the morning and having to travel half across the city. Help her sneak into Izumi Chou for pictures? Count him in.

On the fun side, he's a flirt so he'd flirt with her often though whether or not that turns into feels is pretty much open to suggestion if you want.

So to sum up my rambling xD
Good friends who flirt with each other a lot that do tons of stuff with each other herpderp

Kenji & Mayumi

Hello! Okay Mayumi can make friends with anyone so they'd definitely be friends. The question is how they meet. If he's upper-middle-class he probably didn't grow up in her neighborhood. Mayumi works at a small book store in the mall, so if Kenji's into books they can meet there. And once she found out what she he attended then she'd ask for him to help her sneak in to take pictures...

Which sets up my plans for her possibly meeting one of the teachers and them finding out that she's actually really smart and she'll get a scholarship to get into the school.

And yeah. Flirting. Whoo!

[NISHIMURA, HIDEO]

Hideo & Mayumi

Alrighty, so my current ideas for the two so far is actually maybe they are in the photography club? (Because, even he was forced to join in some clubs at least, by school rules.) From there, I can the two maybe conspire in some way to make a business out of that or maybe the school newspaper direction. Either way, I can the two becoming friends after softening the edges Hideo has for people. But, tell me what ya think and stuff!

[MATSUMOTO, MAYUMI]

Mayumi & Hideo

I like your idea for the photography club, but I can't imagine Mayumi as someone that wants to start a business. Even though she's very good at it, she takes pictures for fun. She'd definitely want to, for instance, go on a trip to the destroyed school to find out information about it that could go with a newspaper article. And she's fine doing favors for people, too. But as far as ambition goes, Mayumi doesn't have much of it. :P
