LET'S GET TO KNOW YOU

PERSONALITY TRAITS :　bright/happy, funny, wise, caring | absent-minded, too relaxed, obnoxious, insecure

PERSONALITY :　
'hey we both like sailor moon, let's be friends!' if you ever had the pleasure to meet this person, then happy is the first word that will come to your mind. she is a ray of sunshine that always has a positive mindset towards everything. she faces everything with a smile first because she believes frowning is the first step towards sadness. the trait that comes along with this is the fact that she make friends really fast. she greets everyone with a wide smile and especially if its a stranger, she'll immediately approach them. this makes her a fairly good and eloquent talker especially towards stranger. she doesn't get it when someone is so afraid to aproach someone, just be nice and positive! she's a really approachable person since she doesn't mind it when someone wants to communicate with her. socialising makes you happy, and being happy is nice thing!
 
'omg dudes i look like a swag teletubbies with this hat' sometimes it's not her sense of humour that is funny, it's her reactions. she shows it in a way that is exaggerated and funny that it will make others laugh because of her ridiculousness. her favourite action is laughing until you trample to the floor, at rare occasion she couldn't stop laughing at all and it will take more than half an hour to calm her down. she also make the most weirdest comment like how a certain building looks like a whale smoking or an art that looks like someone just vomited paint (or that swag teletubbies). moreover is her dumbfounded expression whenever she's caught off guard or surprised. she's just like frozen there with a dumb expression and then she'll be like so confused that she could only say '...heh?'
 
'maybe you should stop following her if she only hurts you?' shigure, on really rare moments, is surprisingly  wise, and it comes when you least expected it. if you're telling stories with her or simply pouring your heart out, you'll expect that she'll say something funny to cheer you up. but much to that person's surprise, she actually gives a rational and logical solution towards the problem. and well, it surprises most of the people because she always gives out advices when they least expected it. shigure herself doesn't even realise that she said something incredibly big and sometimes say that she got 'carried away with her words'. she's always surprised when she's in the middle of being 'carried away with her words' and then the person is just like 'OMG SHINOZAKI THAT'S IT!!' '...what? what is it?'
 
'please don't say that about nano, you're offending me' for shigure, friendship and family is the thing that you must keep close and cherish all the time because nothing could replace someone that is dear to your heart. she shows extreme kindness and compassion towards those who she considered as her family. she also shows great concern if they feel uncomfortable with something or if they feel sad. she felt like it's her job to make them smile all the time because she'll also could feel the sadness from them, and she doesn't like being sad. sometimes this trait could come off as being over protective. one of the case is when her best friend got mocked by another classmate and she was raging the hell out of her own head whilst her best friend must be the one who calms her down. she gets emotional or bad tempered really easily if someone bad mouths the ones that she love
 
'...i think i left my phone at the restaurant...' the negative trait that is most visible is the fact that she stares into blank spaces when she's silent. and she tends to forget the little things, which is quite important cause she usually will forget all the little things and panic (you'll be seeing her running around the halls of the studio yelling 'WHERE THE HELL IS THAT GODDAMN RING???'). when she first noticed that she had lost something, she just froze and the dumbfounded look on her face is so visible. then she panics while asking everyone where is the thing that she's looking for (usually at the most obvious places). and while she's looking at it, there is a 95% possibility that she already found it, places it somewhere then forgot where she places it. and when i said 95% it means it happens all the time. when she found the things that she need at the most obvious me, she'll suddenly laugh 'OMG I'M SUCH A DUMB DUMB' while continue laughing, not minding the people who's looking at her weirdly
 
'dudes chill, we can like finish this tomorrow before the deadline' i think the other and more simpler word to describe this trait is her ability to procrastinate without really worrying about it. but she prefers it with the word of being too 'chill'. if you're working an important project with her, then it's best that you won't appoint her as the leader. she'll take you out to play instead of working really, and when you bring up the subject then she'll just shush you and tells you to enjoy life as it is. she'll start working at it for like...2 or a day before the deadline. if you put her in charge then she'll just shrug her shoulder 'i mean, if you want to work it alone then fine. i'll tell the counselor that we split up and works on it individually'. and her finishing job is not always smooth or squeaky clean good. i mean, it's 'okay' and you could totally see that it's rushed. but for her what matters is that they did it by the deadline. if she goes out of the deadline, then she really panic
 
'hey...hey...HEEYYY!! LIIISSTEEENNNN!!!' in somewhat someway, you'll find her a bit obnoxious. well not a bit obnoxious, if you're really close to her then sometimes you'll be annoyed of her presence. she really like to mess around even during serious time, since she doesn't really like pressure and changes everything into playtime. she likes to bother her friend when they're working, like showing them things that are unimportant or tugging at their clothes just to make them annoyed. she'll also pretend that something important happened to make them panic but then it's nothing. when they ask why, she says because 'their expression is priceless'. what makes people more upset is because she's unaffected by their anger, she'll even laugh it out. but she'll end up apologizing if it's too offensive...after she's done with laughing
 
'/chuckles/ i mean...i'm a disgusting human being, there's no doubt in it' shigure puts up a fun and confident person as a front, but she's never the kind of person that is strong against criticism. she'll instantly crumble down when someone makes fun of her or mocks her in a serious way, she's actually a sensitive person from the heart. but if someone asked her if she's okay then she'll laugh it out saying that it only 'pinched her a bit' (as in pinching her until her skin came off and she's bleeding). usually she puts the words seriously and rather make a bit sarcastic towards it. there was a time when someone said that she 'failed as a human being' because she couldn't move on from her first love. it hits her so hard that the next day when the same person called her out because she couldn't finish an advanced equation (in which that person can't solve by the way), shigure said 'well i'm sorry, i failed as a human being remember?' or 'oh why don't you try to solve it, mr.i-am-the-most-perfect-human-being-ever'. she doesn't really cry much about it, but when she's tired or upset, she either ignores it or took it harder than before

BACKGROUND :　
welp there's nothing really interesting in her childhood days expect for that one certain day when she was born and that faithful day where she meet her twin nano. to put it simply, her and nano had a quite bad start because they were fighting over the same toy train. nano ended up crying because shigure pushed him off and forcefully took the toy train from him. when she sees him crying, she felt bad and decided to give him the toy train but then he pushed her away until she fell and now we have two crying kids (what a magical meeting). even though her and nano got into a bad start, but somehow someway both of them hugged it out and had been friends since then. nano is the person that influenced shigure with dance, since his bigger brother is a part of a dance crew. at first, shigure only followed what he does for fun but in the end, she's the one who got pulled in deep into the game. she joined YTT (Yesterday Today Tomorrow) Studio and joined 2 classes of ballet for her own and funky hip hop with nano. nano is a natural born dancer whilst shigure struggled to follow him. shigure was about to drop out of dance because she's too tired but then nano challenges her to be more awesome than him. if she does this, then he'll give all of his gundam figurines to her which he cherishes so much. knowning how much nano love his figurines and would go all the way to that extent, she realises that he doesn't want shigure to leave. so she does it for nano instead, with the goal of 'friends forever until the very end' in her mind. what surprises nano is that she took 3rd class for fun and that is contemporary. when the dance exams come, both of them passes and got into the top 10 with shigure ranked number 4 and nano ranked number 3. nano almost cried in both happiness because his best friend is more awesome than him also with despair because he has to give all of his gundam figurines. but to nano's delight, shigure refuses if he promises that they will take their dance game to the next level by joining LIL'RAIDERS. they passed the qualifications with a tremendous difficulty and if they didn't impress the teachers, then they couldn't join

nothing really interesting happened afterwards, it's a normal life for shigure. such as her graduating from LIL'RAIDERS to FRONTRUNNERS that acquires her to quit her soccer club, her first love, her first heartbreak (and nano beating the hell out of that guy for breaking his best friend's heart), first time travelling out of the country, first time winning with FRONTRUNNERS, first time making a choreography project, first time teaching a class, first time to a concert, first time got something from her bone broken, and others. she has a lot of firsts around her elementary-middle. she was an ambitious little kid with big dreams in the dance world and in biochemistry also. one of the things that also happen is the YTT world tour showcase in which they performed in various countries with the their local choreographers as guests. 1Million so happens to be the dance studio that the director chooses to have a collab with and the top 10 of FRONTRUNNERS had the chance to do the collab for the showcase. the director had come up with the challenge of adapting with the styles of each other. thus was given time to present of a small piece of their partners before flying to korea prior 1 month before the show to train and learn under the care of 1Million's instructors. shigure and her partner, minamoto kaname, presents a piece that is more of a japanese urban hip hop with the song la la la. after their small showcase or 'audition', both of them are taken under the care of lia kim and mina myoung for the collaboration, in which both of them has a differing hip hop style than both shigure and kaname. she was mostly trained by lia however she became quite close to mina because they're the same age. they chatted, argued, laugh and cry during their time together despite their language barrier. but they learned to accept each other and to gain knowledge from each other's . they made a piece based on old school hip hop with a modern touch along with may j lee as the guest star of the piece. after the showcase, the relationship between YTT and 1Million had been much stronger than before, and their firendship between each other members had been considered as more than special. their families expanded and they couldn't ask for more, shigure couldn't ask for more

LIKES :

❀ sweaters; i think it's obvious as to why. she practically wants to be wrapped in something warm everyday, even at hot days ('just wear a cropped or a thin sweater')
❀ morning; even though she values sleep too, mornings are always her favourite time of the day. she always said that it's the perfect time for cuddling (watch out shigure's roommate, you'll find her next to you when you wake up) and for a relaxing walk
❀ breakfast; food is love food is life, but breakfast means something important to her. she likes to have the hot of her coffee or the fluffy bite of her pancake
❀ eggs; she loves to add egg to any type of food she's having, she also has a ton of gudetama merchandise, even the sweater!
❀ anything cute; she's OBSESSED with anything that correlates with cute. one time she saw this pink fish, she BEGGED her father to buy it because she thinks it looks like a cute precious pink fluff that's swimming aorund (did i tell you that she's weak towards aegyo?)
❀ children; 'LITTLE TINY CUTIES! EVEN BETTER THAN NORMAL SIZED CUTIES!'
❀ pastel colour; TOTALLY COLLERATES WITH CUTE
❀ her upper body; people tend to praise her upper body which boosts her confidence. what makes her happy is the fact that they're not talking about her ies ouo
❀ laughing; laughing makes her a happy person. she doesn't care if she looks like a yellow seal, she tends to laugh at everything anyway
❀ sailor moon; 'I am sailor moon, champion of justice! on behalf of the moon, i will right wrongs and triumph over evil, and that means you!'

DISLIKES :

❀ drama; drama gives her headache and it makes her tired. why does everyone likes to have conflict when a simple problem could be solved really easily and just apologise?
❀ over the top pride; pride is something that is good to have, but it is not everything. for her, if you need some help then don't be afraid to ask or if you want to apologise first then it's okay, that's admirable. but she doesn't like people who's stuck up because they think that pride is everything for them
❀ migraine; unfortunately for shigure, she always has this kind of migraine when she's stressed. and i'm talking about the migraine that makes you vomit every 10 minutes and light will pierce your eyes. the fact that it happened when she's stressed is not helping her feel any better
❀ making everything personal; you know that kind of person that has some beef with you and then brings it to the job? LIKE dude, just get the job done first then we could solve our conflicts
❀ arrogant people; and she doesn't mean people who are arrogant in a sarcastic, sassy and funny way or in the end it looks kinda cute, no those kind of people makes her laugh. she's talking about the people who wouldn't smile the first time they meet, why? BECAUSE THAT'S NOT POLITE THAT'S WHY. at least give a smile or greet back or something, don't ruin your image at first impression. common sense people sheesh
❀ crying; nope
❀ onion; it's weird for her to have allergics towards onions really
❀ the feeling of drowning/out of breath; she condemns this feeling, and it makes her feel scared. not the kind of out of breath after a tiring excercise or practice but those kind of feeling that the air is up from you or you can't breathe. she hates the deep sea because of the possibility of drowning, it scares her

HOBBIES :

❀ improvise (dance wise); #improvuntilyoudrop
❀ hair styling; she's really good in styling her hair in unique ways and she's also good at styling others
❀ take a walk; especially at morning and take a deep breath of the fresh air

HABITS :

❀ she tends to groan when she's tired or annoyed, then says 'oh my Gooooodddd.....'
❀ laughs at everything...yes that is a habit and a signature movement (?)
❀ tends to act more active and hyper to forget about her worries or nervousness
❀ either curses or stay frozen when she's surprised
❀ cuts her hand's nails with small scissors out of old habit

WHO IS IMPORTANT TO YOU

RELATIONSHIPS :

  
▸ main dancemate & best friend — kirihaiko nano (22) / choreographer and dancer of YTT and FRONTRUNNER / hyperactive, greaseball, flirty in a friendly way and hyperactive...also hyperactive...also he makes stupid jokes and puns like nano stop
interactions with shigure /// ah...when both of them meets, it's always starts with shigure yelling out 'NAAANOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~NYANYO NYANYO NYANYOOOO~~~' and then both of them would run to each other and hug really tightly. these two were childhood friends and was in the same dance crew, not to mention he's the first person to get her to like dance. he's her main dancemate because both of them clicks so well when it comes to dance. when doing choreo improvisations, their movements blends so well with each other and it looks so good, it's always fascinating to see them dance together. oh you won't even imagine how awesome it is when they dance or make a choreography together, the pieces they make is so amazing. when both of them are not dancing with each other, nano is a place where she tells him about everything and a shoulder to cry on. but shigure rarely cries on him because he always makes stupidly funny comments about it like 'nano stop~ i'm trying to be emotional here! /pouts/ you're ruining the mood!'. nano also like to flirt with her in a very friendly way like he's so greasy that it's not even funny. he would just slide towards her then say 'are you the sun? because your smile is blinding me' 'out of all the flowers in the world, you're the most beautiful' 'i get diabetes whenever i hear that sweet sweet laugh of yours' and shigure would just trample to the floor and laugh way too loud whenever he does that. sometimes she throws him punches and kicks, shouting 'SHUT UP!'

  
▸ contemporary dance mate — darling valentine (22) / choreographer and dancer of YTT and FRONTRUNNER / quiet, temperamental, honest, a bit sassy at times, confident, mature
interactions with shigure /// shinozaki shigure and darling valentine is what you can call as the total opposite side of the magnet. shigure is a bright and cheerful young lady whilst valentine is a quiet yet critical madame. people thought that the two wouldn't have the most positive relationship however their time together since they were a child completely defies all of that. from attending the same ballet and contemporary classes to joining LIL'RAIDERS at the same timeline is already enough for them to be friends. conflicting personalities are not a problem for them and it will never be. sure they sometimes argue because of differing opinions but friends do argue. both of them doesn't only rely each other because of contemporary, they're actual friends. she often goes out with her when nano isn't there and darling enjoys her company too. they're each others perfect match when it comes to contemporary. their styles mixed together and they just click, their movements matching each other in a singular flow. that's why shigure always trust darling when it's about dance; contemporary, waacking, ladies' style, dancehall, ballet and hip hop? leave it to darling valentine

We have a style, what's yours?

FASHION SENSE : her fashion is not really limited to any colour or any type of style but she's mostly towards the comfy-stylish style. she doesn't like wearing things that are complicated or clothes that makes her uncomfortable so she wear things that are quite simple or has a home-like feeling to it

SWEATER SWEATER SWEATER SWEATER SHE LOVES SWEATERS! sweaters are like a blanket to go for her and she likes the smell of fresh laundry that sticks towards the fabric. she likes pastel coloured sweaters or sweaters that has a cute or cool graphics on it. she's always seen with it when going on everywhere; to a restaurant, going on midnight stroll, walking by the beach, chilling on her sofa, lazy grocery shopping, EVERYWHERE

she also like to put on dress that really compliments her upper body, and when i say upper body i mean shoulder, collarbones and her backside. she likes to wear strapless dress, backless dress or...yeah a casual dress

she doesn't really care about fashion really, as long as she's comfortable but still look bomb as hell (though in all honesty, she's more to pastel kei)

sweaters | dress (casual/formal)
upper clothes (shirt, crop top & bralet); works for dorm, practice & casual
lower clothes (pants, shorts & skirts) | outerwear
other essentials (bags, shoes, etc)

DANCE STYLE :  sugawara koharu for hip hop/general & zoya (red jacket) saganenko for contemporary - as a contemporary dancer from the start, she has crazy energy and tolerance towards dancing. she has strong technique and flow towards it, and not to mention how she is light in her feet and her rubber like body. potrayal of emotion is not a question anymore; rather than showing it towards singing, she shows it in dancing. she's really good in improvisation and unpredictable change in rhythm and speed, making her an advanced intermediate dancer. when it comes to hip hop, the energy that came towards contemporary makes her has an endless stamina. she hits hard when dancing but also has a great control in her movements. she likes to do really fast movements that makes a transitions into a core-based movement in a split second. she also like to do old school basic hip hop movements when freestyling since it is the foundation of hip hop. being an all style dancer, she was trained to be able to adapt to different genres. as stated above, the genres that she does and/or in the process of training are; l.a style, funky hip hop, urban, poppin', locking, dancehall, waacking and ladies' style. she's sorta weird when it comes to y Y and not y fierce, because she could totally whip her hair and make fierce faces but not ily going down and roll your hip in a very 'woohoo' manner
