[hider=Kara O'Hara] [center][IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/15r1uz4.png[/IMG][/center] [b]Name:[/b] Kara O'Hara [b]Talent:[/b] Dessert Chef [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Appearance:[/b] At only four foot eleven, it isn't strange that everyone else towers over her. But even though Kara has been a teenager for quite a few years now, she can't help but use her short stature to her advantage. She continues to wear anything to complement her cute aesthetic, commonly wearing a plaid blue ruffle dress with a matching blue ribbon tied on her head. Along with her ribbon, she keeps her hair in curled pigtail braids. At the back of her outfit, there are two soft angel wings sewn into a cute maroon backpack, a surprise addition to her bright getup, but Kara often forgets they're even there. With such an outrages outfit, people often think she is the SHSL Cosplayer. [b]Personality:[/b] Kara is a sweet girl who wishes to share her pastries together with the world at large. She hates yelling and fighting, believing that all problems can be sorted out over dessert. Because of her condition, the heart problem is triggered by anger or stress and she tries to keep as optimistic as possible. She enjoys hanging out with friends, taking photos to keep as memorabilia and of course, dessert making. She wants to help others out with what strength she has, but her condition often sets her back. She's never able to try all the things she wants to and that has become an extreme insecurity of hers. But Kara loves to live vicariously through other people about adventures and travel. Due to her fascination with Europe, Kara enjoys reading travel magazines and reading books that focus on exploration. [b]Backstory:[/b] Kara was born with an irregular heartbeat. Even though it didn't bother her much as a kid, her mother pressed to have her stay inside if there was even a slight chance of bad weather. Kara stayed in most of the time as a child and spent time with her grandmother since her mother was always so busy. Her mother then met a man from Japan and had a child, before they decided to move to Japan. Kara didn't want to leave her home with her grandmother and it was decided that the girl would continue to get treatment in the United States while she stayed with her grandmother. The two of them loved to cook together, especially sweets. As she grew into her teens, her symptoms got worse. Kara now suffers from Arrhythmia, specifically Bradycardia. This is when your heartbeat is too slow. It can mean that not enough blood reaches your brain and can cause you to pass out. After spending a few more years being treated by the doctor's in America, she was deemed safe enough to move to live with her parents in Japan. While she was sad to leave her grandmother, the older woman gave her a parting gift and the two of them would frequently send baked goods by mail to each other. After winning a cooking competition at her high school, Kara's talent was written out in the newspaper and wealthy men and women called on her to make her dishes for them, soon gaining them as sponsors. Finally, she was invited to Hope's Peak Academy to continue her studies. [b]Trivia:[/b] -Her Grandmother hand stitched her outfit -The first dish she ever made was a plate of chocolate chip cookies with her Grandmother -Dislikes pineapple and mangos -Kara decided to keep her Grandmother's last name instead of her new stepfather's one.

Hibiki generally wears whatever he feels most comfortable in. He doesn't necessarily have bedhead, but usually lets his hair do whatever it likes, curling up in the weirdest angles. Luckily Hibiki recently got new glasses, otherwise, the boy would have been reduced to wear uncomfortable contacts since his cat had demolished them just a week or two ago. With the spring in full bloom, Hibiki prefers wearing thinner shirts but likes to keep long sleeves on in a failed attempt at keeping his arms unscathed from his tabby's ferocious claws. When in more formal settings, he'll smooth his hair back and wear a button-down shirt, but any other time he prefers his laidback wardrobe, it's much easier to replace. [b]Personality:[/b] Hibiki is a rather laid-back individual in both his fashion sense and his way of life. While he loves to help others complete their goals, he has none of his own, letting the road of life lead him wherever it will. In truth, Hibiki only came to Hope's Peak in order to help the other Super highschool level students. Hibiki can be rather enthusiastic in certain situations though. When it comes to animals, he becomes the SHSL cuddler and loves to always be petting some part of their fur. Hibiki is sometimes interested in video games and arts and crafts, but is usually interrupted by the little fiesty feline of his. [hider=Photo][IMG]http://i67.tinypic.com/17tvkz.jpg[/IMG][/hider] [b]Backstory:[/b] Hibiki is an only child of two career-driven parents, his mother a surgeon and his father a prosecutor. Hibiki never really had anyone to play with as a kid, but when he was younger he found a stray cat pawing at the blinds of his cracked open bedroom window. The boy started taking care of the girl tabby and stealthily took care of her without his parents knowing. As he grew into middle school age, Hibiki started staying at the library since Hana basically slept the day away on his pillow. There he met a few boys younger than him, all struggling in one school subject or another. Hibiki started helping them with their work and their grades skyrocketed. A boy who had been threatening to drop out because of his poor grades was suddenly an A+ student. When the students of his middle school's test scores grew so much that the region recognized the school for its excellence, Hibiki was giving his own after school class and was recognized for his amazing supportive talent. Soon a new friend entered his life, a little tabby named Ritsu that was the baby of the cat that had crawled in all those years ago. Everything seemed to be going well enough and Hibiki was looking into different highschools when he got the invitation to Hope's Peak Academy. [b]Trivia:[/b] -Hibiki may in fact like cats a little [i]too[/i] much. -Cats always seem to flock to him and use Hibiki as a jungle gym. -Hibiki can sleep anywhere -He [i]hates[/i] contact lenses.
