small, miscellaneous scars (that aren't really that noticeable to the eye) litter her body thanks to all the mischief her and her brother got up to when they were younger. though her most notable scars are a faint animal bite on her upper right arm from a dog attack when she was five and a small diagonal scar at the end of her left eyebrow from when she fell of a swing when she was seven. she has a collection of moles on her back that form a zigzag line if you connect them.

she has both ears pierced. she dreams to get a belly button piercing one day. she currently has no tattoos.

sora is mostly known for her cute snaggletooth that she really refuses to get fixed because it one of her charming points.

STYLE

sora's fashion style is very clean and modern despite the outrageous fashion sense that's a fad back in japan. she tends to keep herself in in warm colors, black usually thrown in it as well. shorts and skirts are the majority of her closet, but does own some pants as well.

      

 

PERSONALITY

  POS    charismatic, liberal, independent, witty
  NEU    sarcastic, sassy
  NEG    perfectionist, stubborn, blunt, demanding

sora is a very confident person by nature. she has a natural charm that makes people turn their heads to see her. she's also always open to new ideas and opinions. despite always relying on her brother when she was younger, she became really independent after yato began to train. because of her dad's busy schedule, she was usually alone and she had to fend for herself. she is fairly quick to spill out some humor with her wit just to make everyone laugh.

being alone most of the time has made her somewhat sarcastic, someone has to be when her older brother is practically a man child. much like her wit and charisma, sora is lively and bold when it comes to her famous wit. she's rather cheeky and comes off a sassy person, whether it's good or bad.

sora is very much a perfectionist. if one little thing is misplaced, she will do whatever it takes to put it back in it's place. sora is definitely stubborn. there are a lot of times when her stubborness gets in the way like whenever she really DOES need help, but refuses to ask for help. she's stubborn like that. sora definitely doesn't sugarcoat things, she tells it like it is. she's brutally honest and doesn't like beating around the bush. she is also rather demanding as she wishes for everything to be perfect. she will make others work harder just so she can meet the high standards she has for herself.

BACKGROUND

when sora was born, it was bittersweet. her mother was very sick and couldn't hold on after she was born. the whole family took the death to heart, but her father and brother knew that they had to keep it together to take care of sora.

as sora grew up, she didn't see her father all that much. he was busy with work, being a ceo wasn't easy. instead of her father, yato was always there for her as a big brother and a father figure. sora was the light of yato's world, never getting tired of taking care or playing with his little sister.

yato's dream of being a musician was allowed by their father, but had nowhere to go. although with nothing, sora was there for him as his biggest supporter. he was the main reason she got into music. when sora saw all the other girls in her class going to dance lessons, she wanted to go too. yato was so excited at the thought of sora wanting to become a idol someday. month after month, yato found sora excelling in all her dance lessons.

then yato was scouted by avex trax on the streets. sora was a mess when yato came home and told her the news. did this mean he was going to leave? if he left, who would she have then? but yato made sure to calm his baby sister down, thinking he could take her with him to tokyo. the idea was shot down by their father. sora was just too young and yato was too young to be taking care of sora while he was training. how would he support her?

so yato promised his sister that they would meet again and for her to always smile no matter what. after yato left for tokyo, they still made sure to contact each other as much as he could with his busy schedule. the day finally came when yato debuted in c:ode. sora was amazed at how much yato had changed and grown. it was amazing! eventually avex trax was holding auditions for girls. she wanted to be close to her brother!

their father noticed how sora would follow her brother's every move, using him as her motivation. he knew his daughter had a natural talent for dancing. despite not being there for most of her childhood, he still wanted her to be happy. he helped her with her new dance lessons, studying different types of dance to help her have one foot ahead of all the other dancers her age. dancing was her absolute dream!

at the age of fourteen, their father finally allowed her to follow her dreams, but only if she made it into avex trax! so with all her strength and motivation, she found her way into avex trax to be on the big stage just like her brother!

RELATIONSHIPS

  TAKAYAMI KOISHI    father, 1958

her father is a strict man that mellowed out from his late wife and now his children. he likes to try and still be that strict man, but sora knows he's just a big ol teddy bear. koishi is a ceo of a big corporation back in hokkaido that takes up most of his time. he did admit that he overworked himself because of grief from his wife's death, but he has a clearer and better mind now. his children (despite being adults) are his priority.

  TAKAYAMI YATO    brother, 1989

yato is the light of sora's life while she's light of his life. don't underestimate their sibling bond. whenever they are near each other, they're practically joined at the hip. yato is extremely protective over his little sister and will fight anybody who tries to humilate or date her (which is why she hasn't told him about her crush on kami yet). he always does shout outs to sora at his concerts and on stages because she is the reason why he continues to do what he loves.

  C:ODE    brother's band

c:ode is a five membered visual kei band from avex trax which consists of yato (leader, drummer, backup vocals), suki (lead vocals, occasional guitar), yaya (lead guitar), giyo (rhythm & acoustic guitar, backing vocals), and natty (bass, keyboardist, piano). their most recent album charted in the top 5 of the oricon chart.

  SUKI    despite being the lead vocals in the band, mitsuki is the quietest of the group. he's like the quiet dad who watches over the group to make sure they aren't getting into too much trouble. it's a surprise he didn't get the leadership position. he and yato are the most popular ship of the group because of how close he is to yato. sora used to have the biggest crush on mitsuki which yato likes to and mitsuki about. mitsuki lets yato get away with it. sora personally thinks there's something going on between yato and suki, but yato says there's nothing. though sora still teases him about it.

  YAYA    yaasu doesn't mean to be lazy, he's just a very tired person due to his narcolepsy. even his voice sounds tired and sleepy. it's a surprise that he's the lead guitarist. he even looks like he's about to fall asleep when playing his instrument, though playing guitar is his life. though he has the biggest soft spot for sora, becoming another big brother to her. he could literally be dead asleep, but someone starts teasing sora, he'll wake up instantly.

  GIYO    a pure korean in a visual kei band, yoongi was uncomfortable at first. this culture was completely new to him, it was until he met yato when he transferred to avex trax. yato helped him convert to japanese culture and got him to love visual kei, getting him to join his band. he is like a uncle to sora, always being there for her when she needs someone to talk, etc. he is the person who got sora into kpop and helps teach her korean whenever he can.

  NATTY    natsu is a very hyper kid (?), well, he is the youngest of the band after all. he has high energy levels and is always found snacking on candy, jumping around like a five year old, etc. despite him being older than sora, he makes sora feel like she's older than him. his energy alone makes you feel old.

  NAKAMURA MAI    bff, 2000

while sora is sassy, mai is happy. sora is called the moon while mai is called the sun. they each compliment each other. mai lights up a room when she walks in with just her smile and optimism. she is sora's classmate that followed her to avex trax. though it took her a bit longer to get into the company due to her lack of talent. though her brightness and passion to bring a smile to everyone's face makes up for her lack of talent.

mai actually followed sora, leaving avex trax and joining international idol, but she didn't make it in the end.

  HIROSE YUMEKO    groupmate, 1996

besides mai, sora stuck to yumeko since the beginning of the show. she just seemed to calm and collected, not to mention she was japanese just like sora. with yumeko being the older one between them, sora easily looked up to her talents and beauty.

TRAINING YEARS

  AVEX TRAX    aug 2012 - jun 2017

  INDIVIDUAL    jun 2017 - mar 2018

TRAINING BACKGROUND

training life...wasn't that hard, but hard at the same time. at first she was sad that she still hadn't got to see her brother that often especially since his band was getting more and more popular. though she didn't let that stop her. her dance skills had her above the rest of the girls, especially with how young she was at the time.

she impressed most of all her instructors with her dancing, almost like she turned into a different person when she danced. they could tell dancing was her life, though they were there to help her succeed in other ways.

after 4 years with avex trax, sora noticed she was going nowhere with the company and it made her angry. her dancing was good, her singing was getting better...why wasn't she put into a group yet? it only took a year before her brother got his band!

it was actually yato's bandmate yoongi who suggested sora to try for a korean company instead. he knew with her cute looks and amazing skills that she would definitely be loved back in south korea. though...it was easier said than done.

sora easily left avex trax, but no company was holding auditions at the time. but sora only had to wait a few months when yoongi found out about international idol and encouraged sora to try it out. sora trained, perfecting her dancing and practicing her singing. to sora's surprise, her and mai both made it.

further surprised, sora gained a lot of fans on the show. she may have not of been the best singer on the show, she made up for it with her dancing prowess and cute looks. and the biggest surprise of them all? she made it, til the end. her dream came true.

 

PREDEBUT EXPERIENCE

  sora did some modeling as a kid back in japan for a few children fashion brands.

  sora featured on a song for her brother's band. perfect blue was a song that her and her brother made back when she was young. the band made it a bonus track on one of their albums. she even participated in a few concerts to perform the song.

NEWS ARTICLES/HEADLINES

  MYSTERIOUS BACKUP VOCALS    before coming onto international idol, sora was just a trainee at avex trax. yato decided to switch things up for his band. yato used the song he and sora made for a bonus track on their new album. when the track came out, many people were pleasantly surprised with the different sound and female vocals. it was then when yato began to recruit sora to help with lyrics for the band when she had the chance. the song was released in 2014.

  SPECIAL TREATMENT    because of her popularity in japan, sora got quite a lot of screentime on the show that had a few viewers feeling like she was getting special treatment (since her father is a ceo and her brother being famous after all). they didn't like that a girl who could barely sing was so popular.

  HOT ACTOR DATING SORA    probably around their first comeback, kami came to congratulate sora and her group's success with a little get-together. netizens took a picture of them hugging very friendly which sparked a lot of fans into thinking they were dating. at the time, they were not dating, just really good friends.

      

 

LOVE INTEREST  fujioka kami (fc. sano reo)

BIRTHDATE  feb 2nd, 1997

NICKNAMES

  BAKAMI    a mixture of baka (translates to idiot) and his name kami. this is a name she's always calling him. it's also what she has him named in her phone.

 

PERSONALITY

kami is what you would call a person who knows they are good looking and flaunts it. he knows he comes off as this narcissistic person, but he really doesn't care. he's also not one to beat around the bush. he's blunt, very much so. he doesn't have a filter and it's what gets him into a lot of trouble. being sarcastic and stubborn are other factors that tend to get in his way of growth, but they are what makes him, him.

but what most don't know is that it's mostly a front, a character he puts on for the camera. he's actually quite the sweetheart and knows how to be a gentleman. he's a bit shy as well, not really going out on his own accord to introduce him really.

though he secretly has a super squishy soft side which comes out during acting (if it's the part) or when it comes to sora (but not like he actually shows it to her face).

LOVE STORY

sora and kami previously met in middle school. at first, sora hated kami. even then, he was a narcissistic . though she witnessed him taking care of a homeless cat by their school which made her change her mind, but she didn't have to time to approach kami about the whole thing because that was when she began training at avex trax.

ever since she started training, kami started to notice sora more, the girl who used to have a vendetta against him. she was growing into a woman before his eyes and her sweet demeanor (when not speaking with him), he was slowly falling for the girl.

despite her heavy workload between high school and training, the two did get closer after kami helped sora after she dropped her books at school (he helped her and then asked her to lunch). a lot of people would mistake them for dating, but both of them would blush and say they were crazy. at this point, all their friends just want to lock them into a room, really.

 

STATUS  pining idiots

ENDING  dating

 

RELATIONSHIP TRIVIA

  sora is the reason why he got into acting. he wanted to be something special for her, so he took acting lessons and is now becoming the new hot young thing in the acting business.

  even though her lockscreen is of vocaloid, her actual phone wallpaper is of one of kami's promoshots from his first acting job. his lockscreen is of a forest while his phone wallpaper is a picture of sora that he took secretly at during their high school's talent show.

  he has sora listed as lady sora under his phone. he hasn't told her that he did that (he would die from embarrassment if she found out).

  their ship name would be kamra.

  he stills owns that kitten he saved during middle school. her name is kistune and she is a scottish fold.

  kami is actually a big fan of sora's brother's band, c:ode.

COMMENTS

i know you don't need speaking or variety twins, but i added them to help add depth to my character (like a visual to how they speak & act) <3

SCENE REQUESTS

  sora and yato bickering over tv lol

  over protective big brother yato

  the members forcing sora to do aegyo because they think she's cute

  flashback to the show and when her team had her do the gwiyomi song for the first time (imagine the cuteness plus her cringing lol)

  sora introducing her brother and his band to everyone

  sora confessing to kami by singing i like you, i love you during a concert (fans not knowing the real reason why she's singing the song lol)

  later on, yato finds out that sora and kami are dating from news websites and ends up blowing up sora's phone because WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL YOUR DEAR BROTHER YOU WERE DATING!!!

PASSWORD

  CELESTIAL    since the group will be 'univeral', their fans are simply 'out of this world'. also, this song is like a perfect b-side and can be sung by girls to guys too. so, perfect for co-ed. uwu

Hey there ! Thanks for submitting another character. There are just a few things that need to be added before I can accept Geumwoo.

First of, could you please specify what Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese) it is Geumwoo can speak? Could you please also add a backup love interest as there is no guarantee Dylan and Geumwoo will both be accepted? (That sounds a little mean but I swear I don't mean it in a harsh way!)

Everything else in your application seems fine! If you can add those things I would be more than happy to accept Geumwoo!

I was originally going to pick #6 for Dylan but I guess I'll take #7

Sorry one more small thing I forgot to add. As Suzuki Airi was a member of Buono! I would prefer if Buono! wasn't listed as her favourite JPOP band as it includes her faceclaim.

Hey there ! Thanks fo being the first applicant for U/IDOL! I was starting to get a bit worried that no one would actually apply even though it hasn't been that long. Anyway, let's get right into the review.

First off I just have to say that my little Hello! Project loving heart was so excited to see Suzuki Airi being used as a faceclaim! That being said, I kind of feel like Airi might be a little too old to be used as a faceclaim for a 98' liner, so if she's chosen I might go with one of your backup faceclaims instead. Sora's personality, background and relations all seem good. Thank you for giving me a good amount of information about C:ODE. I feel like that would come in handy if she's selected. I was also pleasantly surprised to see another contestant for International Idol in Sora's relationships!

Moving on to the idol section, could you please add a backup talent twin for your characters backup plotline? I feel like Momo would be a little too powerful to be considered a lead dancer. Everything else seems perfect! If you could just add that back up talent twin I would be more than happy to accept Sora! Thanks again for applying!
