[B]Biography[/B]: Shizuka grew up as a low-level Esper in Academy City, having been sent there by her parents at a young age, along with her older brother.  When her brother was in high school, and herself in elementary school, her brother started using the notorious Level Upper performance enhancing audio file.  He shared it with Shizuka and both of them noticed a boost in their ability to use their Esper powers.  When Kiyama Harumi, the creator of Level Upper used the Level Upper AIM network to hijack the powers of all the Espers using the network, both Shizuka and her brother went into a coma and after they were brought out of the coma by the Level Upper treatment program, they were apprehended as Level Upper users, in effect, they were branded as criminals.  Due to her young age and due to having been influenced by her brother, Shizuka was acquitted, whereas her brother had to go through a long and arduous process to be released.  He was also sent away from Academy City since he had lost his powers as a result of Level Upper.

Though Shizuka resents what Kiyama Harumi and Level Upper (and by extension, Academy City) did to her brother, the pressure, shame and powerlessness of being a low-level Esper combined with an insatiable curiosity for the level of power she had experienced when younger has pushed her to experiment on herself with synesthesia; as a manipulator of sound, she attempted over and over again to recreate and modify the original audio of Level Upper. It is perhaps this daring to break past her limits through unconventional (and potentially dangerous) means that has gained her acceptance to Hybrid Academy.

[B]Personality[/B]: Despite her ambition, Shizuka is actually kind of a coward and just wants to get along with everyone.  She puts too much value on what other people think of her, giving her a desire to please others which makes her susceptible to being bullied and exploited.  She tries to find someone who she thinks will be nice to her and give her attention to whom she latches on, becoming something of a lackey.  She can come off as serious but is easily flustered.  She is afraid that her love of computers will make people think she's an otaku (she really is).

[B]Ability[/B]:
[B]Lonely Orchestra (獨單樂隊 - Tandoku Gakutai)[/B] ([I]Acoustokinesis[/I]): Level 2 (Level Up 4-5); Micro
[COLOR=0000FF]Special Skill[/COLOR]: Detection and emission of audible and inaudible frequencies and amplitudes of sound.  This includes being able to figure out the resonant frequencies of various objects and materials by listening to the sound it makes when struck, and imitating voices.
[COLOR=0000CD]Signature Move[/COLOR]: [list][*]Level Upper Private Server - Shizuka's ultimate goal is to recreate Level Upper for herself.  This may push her to Level 4 or Level 5.  Depending on what the GM allows, this may be a buff to herself only, or an area-of-effect buff to all Espers within range of hearing her, which may or may not come with the advantages and disadvantages that having a small AIM field network brings.  The details of how this particular skill manifests can be tweaked since Shizuka may not actually end up making an exact copy of the original audio.[list][*][COLOR=EA4C50]Disadvantages[/COLOR]: May induce coma or other negative side effects of the original Level Upper.[/list]

[B]Magic[/B]: None

[B]Extras[/B]: Shizuka is not actually an audiophile and is somewhat out-of-touch with popular music.  Shizuka's Signature Moves will not be achieved until later (with GM's permission of course).
