[b]Name:[/b] Soga Taiichiro

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Age:[/b] 12

[b]Sexuality:[/b] Heterosexual

[b]Personality:[/b] A taciturn, angry young prodigy, Soga is haughty and difficult to speak to. She is often sarcastic to the point of being caustic and is well aware she is much smarter than other children her age and most adults. Rarely speaking directly to anyone, Soga prefers to write her demands down so she isn’t forced to engage in conversation. Even her nurse tends to steer clear of her. She tends to lash out at anyone who gets close, insulting and belittling them. Underneath all of this, Soga is a brilliant girl who wishes she could be normal. More than anything, she wishes she could be average. She is very lonely. 

[b]Likes:[/b] Cats, furry things, strawberry-flavored candy, mathematics, music

[b]Dislikes:[/b] Pity, stupid people, being treated like a child, being looked down upon

[b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=Soga][img]http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd309/Airin_Aveross/Role-play%20characters/Soga.png~original [/img][/hider]

[b]Demeanor:[/b] Soga always greets people while sitting up. Even in her wheelchair she is a commanding presence and her posture is always straight and tall (or as tall as a four-foot-three child can reasonably be). She is fierce and authoritative, like a miniature princess, but she would disdain the moniker. She does her best to appear calm and in control at all times. 

[b]Fashion Style:[/b] She is fond of traditional Japanese garments and usually wears child-sized kimonos. Nearly all of them are pink. She has a few special-occasion yukata and kimonos, but she never wears them, as she never goes out. 

[b]Prior History:[/b] The child of geniuses, Soga was born with a rare genetic defect that permanently crippled her. She has a malformed heart that requires her to remain sequestered in her bedroom at the expensive research hospital where her parents work. In her isolated little bower on the top floor, Soga perches in a bed by the window, lording over her domain while the occasional nurse skulks in or out with food and medicine. When she feels up to it, she occasionally takes her wheelchair for a short jaunt down the hallway, but this tends to tire her out, so she rarely leaves her room. Her copious spare time is spent mastering various subjects; Soga has always taken solace in learning and she is already a doctoral candidate in mathematics. Her parents originally tried to take an interest in their child, but Soga gradually chased them away. By now, their relationship is strictly professional—Soga’s mother is her cardiologist and her father is her pediatrician. She technically has other doctors, to avoid conflict of interest, but her parents are actively involved in the administration of her treatments. 

It was into this sad, lonely life that Hikikomori Virtual Academy initially came. Visited by a representative of the school, Soga agreed to attend after hearing about the Persona program and the anonymity promised. She now spends half of her time in the simulation. The other half is devoted to her thesis. 

[b]Greatest Dream:[/b] To be a pop singer. 

[b]Greatest Fear:[/b] That she will die alone, in the hospital.

[b]What do they want to do and learn in the Academy?:[/b] Soga wants to know what it feels like to be normal. She has never really interacted with anyone her age and the only other people she speaks to are related to her care. She has never had a friend.
