For your consideration, GM-Sama! [hider=Shinji "Smith"] [b]Name:[/b] Shinji "Smith" [b]Age:[/b] 16 [b]Appearance:[/b] [Coming Later Tonight!] [b]Personality:[/b] Being naturally blonde and raised by a single mother in a society that favors conformity, Shinji has gotten used to the stares and derision of his peers. He tends to try and just power through these moments. Whenever he's introduced to new people, Shinji comes off as shy and aloof- he's reluctant to get close to anyone because he's got plenty to hide about himself, what with the unrequited crushes he's had for high school swim athlete Ryu Nakamoru. The first time Shinji was open about his feelings for Ryu-san, Shinji got shot down hard and the news of his feelings for his classmate spread like wildfire. The class eventually moved its attention to other juicy gossip, but not before Shinji went through a hellish two weeks of bullying and ostracism. Shinji's greatest fear is being exposed as "different" in any way and being further rejected by society at large. His favorite baked good is a chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven! [b]Occupation at the Bakery:[/b] Waiter/Apprentice Baker [b]History:[/b] Shinji was born and raised in Okinawa to his mother Yukari, and his father PfC. Kyle Smith of the U.S. Army. Shinji has guessed that the conception was a one-night stand, but the fact that Kyle writes often and pays for summer trips to his home in San Francisco indicates that there were genuine feelings between the two, but something kept his mother and father apart. After moving to Fukushima in recent years, Shinji had to get used to the stares and questions of his peers all over again. In Okinawa, everyone knew his hair was naturally blond and what his family situation was. Now Shinji's gotten a reputation at school as a wanna-be pretty boy uke for his looks, and rumors about his mother swirl and change every month. Getting a job at the cafe seemed like a good way to escape the rumor mill that followed him in after school clubs and earn a little money on the side for his next trip to America. [/hider]
