[li]Face: Pale, with a strong square jaw. She's what most would consider more handsome than beautiful. But she knows the art of smiling and has a natural charm about her. When she does smile, it's usually at a slight slant. Her lashes are long and thick. They, and her eyebrows, are all the same dark wine red color as her hair.
[/li]
[li]Body: She was always the smallest and shortest in her class when she was younger. But, near the end of middle school, a growth spurt shot her up to the lofty height of 5ft. 10in. Luckily, it seems she's done growing and has passed the awkward lanky stage. Now she's quite proportional and comfortable in her body.
She's 145 lbs of almost pure muscle. Considering she's been figure skating since a very young age, she's quite lean, muscular and very fit. Her legs, butt, and midsection are the most defined parts of her body. Her lower body strength and core strength are well honed and impressive. Her upper body strength is also nothing to sneeze at, though not nearly as defined as her lower body. She's definitely got an athletic build.
Her skin is pale, but it tans very easily.
[/li]
[li]Clothing: She wears both skirts and pants comfortably, but still has leanings towards more masculine clothing styles. The school uniform she wears is the skirt one, though not through her own choice.
When dressed in casual clothes, she tends to wear baggy T-shirts and shorts in the warmer months, and jeans and T-shirts in the cooler months. A simple blue and white hoodie compliments most of her street wear. She tends to go for solid or two-tone colors. Her footwear consists of running sneakers.
For fancier or more formal affairs, she wears button down shirts and slacks. Along with a nice pair of black dress shoes. She does know how to do the make up and dress thing, and very well at that. But she's actively chosen to go in the opposite direction for her own reasons.
Also, as far as working out, she has several different track suits (pants and shorts) and tank tops for her various vigorous physical activities.

appearance
- General: Shiroi tends to be friendly and polite to her fellow classmates and those she's not particularly close to. She smiles and laughs often. An aura of calm and goodwill surrounds her, which puts most people she meets at ease (though not all people have the same reaction).
All of these things, along with her usually low, soothing tone of voice, tends to lend her an air of easy-going charm. This has, oddly enough, led to her always somehow becoming quite popular with other girls (and even older women!). Ever since her growth spurt, she's often been refereed to as a Knight or given the title of The Prince (depending on where she's at). All of these things she takes in stride, though, and sometimes even up-plays if she's feeling playful, or if she feels a situation calls for it.
The only time Shiroi allows any kind of intensity to show in public is when she's figure skating or dancing. That, and when she's competing against other people and really gets sucked into it. She tries her best to never show others any kind of negativity. When she gets angry, sad or hurt, her face will often go blank before she smiles and tries to excuse/extract herself from whatever situation she's in. Then she goes somewhere else to cool down. Which is usually done through intense physical activity.
Shiori seems to be a rather well balanced individual. Few people ever get close enough for her to let them see otherwise. Even fewer still are allowed to get close enough to her for her to feel comfortable enough to let down this well crafted and well practiced facade.
- Ice skating is her greatest love, and her greatest despair.
- Nighttime. It's always calmer and quieter at night. Less people, less pressure. Things are softer and easier to hide at night.
- Cheap food from, and eating at, yatai (mobile food stands).
[li]Things Shiori Hates:
- People trying to control other people's lives.
- Bullies and rude people who like to pick on the weak.
- Being told who she can and cannot be friends with. If she wants to be friends with someone, that's her choice!
[li]Shiori's Habits:
- When she becomes impatient, she has a habit of tapping her fingers against the sides of her legs.
- Has a habit of butting into other people's business if it seems like someone is being treated unfairly/poorly. Especially in the case of bullying.
- Will compliment people, out of the blue, when she genuinely likes/admires something about them, which often catches them off guard.
[li]Shiori's Positive Traits:
- Kind and always willing to help people out. But she knows when to say no, so as not to be taken advantage of.
- Generally a calm and collected individual, she's usually slow to anger.
- A hard worker. She doesn't shy away from difficult, dirty or tedious work. When she sets her mind to a task, she will follow through with it until completion.
[li]Shiori's Negative Traits:
- She bottle's her emotions and rarely lets others see how she's truly feeling. This can lead to some rather explosive outbursts if she doesn't bleed the emotions out through heavy physical activity.
- Will work herself into extreme physical exhaustion when trying to deal with her negative emotions.
- Holds grudges much longer than she probably should. Will resort to violence if pushed too far.
[li]Extra Info:
- Has a very complicated relationship with her mother. Deep down, she still longs for her mother's love and approval, even after all her mother has put her through. Or perhaps, because of it.
- Fears becoming like/turning into her mother.
- She learned a few slight-of-hand tricks, pick-pocketing and lock picking from her time on the streets. Skills that she still practices and hones to this day.
personality
- History: Her father is an English businessman (in international pro-sporting equipment) and her mother used to be a professional figure skater. They met while her mother was over seas and ended up hitting it off. After a few years, they got married. Oliver decided to take Chiaki's surname and got adopted into her family. This allowed them to merge their businesses together to even greater international success. They ended up with two houses, one in Tokyo and one in London.
Chiaki continued to pursue her career, with the support of her husband. Her ultimate goal was to be in the Olympics. But then she got pregnant with Shiori and ended up going on hiatus. There were complications at the birth, leaving Chiaki no longer able to have children. But she healed and pushed on, once again pursuing the Olympic dream. She got back into shape, but in an unfortunate accident she injured her right leg quite badly, ending her career and leaving her with a permanent limp.
Around this time, Shiori was 3 years old. She'd been taken care of by a nursemaid and would only see her parents on occasion. Almost immediately, her mother decided that if she couldn't attain her dream, then her daughter would. On Shiori's fourth birthday, her mother started training her to figure skate.
