Shiomi, Reina

Ultimate Oneirologist

Female

Reina is a high school student with an incredibly alarming love for the colour pink. Her hair is dyed a light shade of pink, with blonde roots peeking out barely through the pastel colour. Instead of wearing glasses, Reina wears specially designed coloured contacts in... you guessed it: pink. She has a small frame, proudly standing at 5'5". She wears a light pink (surprise!) tunic top with no patterns tucked into a dark skirt under a neat white lab coat.

To most people, Reina appears to be a young child with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. She rarely passes up the opportunity to study something new, no matter the topic. She may have a specialty in a particular field, however her skills in research particularly help her understand things quickly when presented as an experiment.

Reina is generally cheerful and an enthusiastic conversational partner, especially with people she finds that can keep her engaged. She is highly energised and can be found skipping to her destination. It is easy for Reina's mind to jump from one idea to another, entertaining each thought till another catches her fancy, and thus can seem to be in her own world at times. Even during conversations, whilst she has no issues with handling simple chatter, unless you thoroughly engage her it can be easy for her mind to drift. This lack of focus during conversations can easily make her miss quick situational cues, making her seem insensitive even when she does not mean to be.

On top of that, Reina has also developed a habit of keeping note of her thoughts, observations and future ideas in a small (pink!) notebook, kept on her body at all times. She finds that forgetting is a terrible excuse when you have such materials to use at your disposal.

Her love for knowledge means she loves to debate with somebody. Debating is the best way to gauge somebody's understanding of things she has yet to know, and picking somebody's brain apart in a situation like this is something she absolutely adores.

Reina was born to a large family in the city of Tokyo. As the youngest child to a cunning investment banker and the former SHSL Researcher, it was clear from the beginning little Reina was geared for success. There was little excuse for wasting time: if you are found not studying, you might as well prepare for a life of instability and poverty.

Studying, thankfully, was never an issue for Reina. She found herself drawn to books from the very beginning, much to her mother's obvious pleasure. Living in her family was highly competitive: not only for grades, but for the attention of the scouts of Hopes Peak Academy. Each child was hopeful to become the greatest of their field, however only two children seemed to make it in. Reina's eldest brother, Kaoru, graduated as the Ultimate Mathematician and soon Reina is to follow as the Ultimate Oneirologist.

Poppy Pennington

Ultimate ????

Female

Unlike many other ultimates, Poppy looks extraordinarily ordinary. Almost frighteningly so. Her simple blue and white outfit reveals no clues as to what kind of hidden talent she might possess. She stands at an average 5’4” with a lithe, slim posture. She gives a frail impression, almost too fragile to touch. Her long brown hair reaches her lower back and is in desperate need of some styling, as it is going everywhere as if she spent the entire last year in bed. The most striking part of her face are her soft, kind light brown eyes. Her pale skin reveals western origins, much like her name implies.

Poppy is a timid appearance. Who can blame her? She knows nothing, yet she is thrust into this cruel killing game without any consideration. Her frightened nature is complimented by her suspicions for the others. After all, there must be someone amongst them who knows something about her. After all, who else could’ve put her in this position besides the mastermind? Someone is cruelly hiding the truth from her. Not to speak of the fear of death itself. She is like a shy mouse, sacredly trying to avoid what could potentially be a dangerous predator. Though she will try to talk with others, she tries to keep anyone at an arm’s reach at least.

However, these initial impressions will greatly lessen once she grows more comfortable amongst the rest. Beneath the layers of extreme caution is a person who really just wants to experience, to explore. Poppy has nothing, and really just wants to be someone. She wants friends. She wants memories. She wants a place in this world. These are things she can’t obtain from within her shell, but to get out of it will, naturally, take an ample amount of time. She is a very curious person In truth.

In truth, she is a rather sweet person. A quite regular, kind girl. The only way she really stands out amongst a bunch of ultimates is by how plain she seems to be. She is soft-natured, kind-hearted and rather empathic. Because of this, she has difficulty dealing with seeing others in pain or trouble.

A young girl woke up in a classroom. She was confused, afraid. Where was she? It was as if she had woken up for the first time in her entire life. She looked at her hands as if they were foreign entities. She had questions, but she had no idea how to formulate them. Not that she had anyone to ask them to anyway. Then she noticed something embroidered into her left sleeve with a black thread. A name? Who embroidered their name into their clothes these days?

”Poppy Pennington”

Could that be her name? It was the most logical assumption. These were her clothes. They were, right? Indeed, this girl could not remember her name. Her mind was a blank slate, a void completely bereft of any information about herself. She fervently tried to recall what she had forgotten. But alas, she was a stranger to herself just as much as she would be to anyone else.

So please, don’t ask her about her backstory. It would be rather awkward.
