She wears it in all kinds of styles though prefers it down, she hates taking the time to make it look fancy. Naturally Manami's eyes are grey though depending on what she's wearing they can appear a light shade of violet or a light pink - though this could also be caused by the contacts she wears. Her wardrobe changes everyday, while she only wants to parade the house in a t-shirt and jeans she always buy the latest fashions, she often will only wears clothes once in order to make sure people see them in her photo's. Instead of throwing that clothing out though she will either offer it to the people close to her or donate it to woman shelters or thrift shops in her area. Her skin is quite pale, though that seems to just attract people and make her "Asianess" stand out more. Manami has a strict face-care routine that she sticks to in order to keep her face so clear.

Though she is also quite good at editing the photo's she takes, she has taken a lot of time to teach herself how to use programs such as Photoshop and other editing software.[/indent][/indent] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/190726/4c3479aa2f20f7df635e1fe13f5e9f11.png[/img] [indent][indent]Manami is an Instagram model, a well known one at that. She make enough money to sustain herself comfortably. On top of that she models for several companies. Though before that she wanted to be a graphic designer, part of her still wants that. She wants to make advertisements and logos that will draw people to a business or place, creations that will cause people to talk about her talent and not her looks.[/indent][/indent] [img]https://i.imgur.com/syl9q0i.png[/img] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/190726/0f7b75c76d1ff44592063c5022ccc471.png[/img] [indent][indent][u][i][b]To the world/Social Media;[/b][/i][/u] Manami is a very confident girl, she's not afraid to show off what she has, though she's humble about it. While she may seem stuck-up like many Instagram models Manami is a very down-to-earth kind of person, she always seems to offer the best advice on both life and fashion. She somehow is able to keep herself out of the drama that comes with being popular on social media and chooses not to comment on the drama that is going on. Even in her other en-devours Manami oozes that same confidence, this causes her to get quite a lot of offers for magazines and small commercials. [u][i][b]In Reality;[/b][/i][/u] When not taking pictures or in front of a camera Manami is very self-conscious, she constantly feels like she can't live up to the expectations her parents have of her. Unlike the personality she shows for the camera she is quiet and prefer to keep to herself. Instead of going out partying she stay's home and watches her favorite shows, reads her favorite books or plays her favorite video games. She feels like she can't be herself unless she is in the comfort of her own home or around her close friends, and there aren't very many of those. The stress her parents put on her doesn't help with this at all. In general Manami has to act two different ways, happy and confident for those who are paying attention to her and then her true self when she's not in the spotlight. This puts a lot of stress on her and it's becoming increasingly more difficult to continue with the charade, she finds herself exhausted and out of energy all the time. She doesn't tell her family or friends this, instead she puts on a smile and acts like everything is all fine and dandy. She constantly worries that she'll break at some point, or that she'll slip up somewhere and the fake she created will come tumbling down.[/indent][/indent] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/190726/e5d76f769fe2fda9a8e27cf354dd7502.png[/img] [indent][indent]Manami was born in Osaka, Japan to Haru Takahashi and Akemi Takahashi. The family didn't stay in Japan for very long and moved to SOL city in America, they wanted a better life than the one they had. They thought moving to America would allow their daughter to live happily. From a young age it was obvious that Manami was a looker, people constantly siad "what a pretty baby" or "Why is your toddler prettier than me?" Her parents saw this and looked into possibly getting Manami in modelling, it didn't take long for her to be plastered all over children's ads for various things. At first her parents used the money to pay for bills and put the rest in a fund for her, but just like many people the temptation became too great and they got greedy. Soon what started out as something simple turned into something more ugly. Manami was groomed and raised to look beautiful and to act as fake as she can while in front of a camera. Her parents drilled into her that she needed to act and be a certain way over and over into her head until she felt like she wasn't herself anymore. Manami wasn't able to go to school like a normal child, instead her mother home schooled her while she slowly built her modelling career. They were so hung up on the money and career she had at such a young age that they bragged to everyone, saying how proud they were to have such a daughter. This built of the fear she had of disappointing them and Manami began to hide how she really was. When she turned nineteen and got her highschool degree Manami had enough money to live on her own, so that's what she did. Living with her parents made her constantly stressed and while they protested her living on her own they couldn't stop her either. Once by herself Manami felt like she could be herself for a little bit, though she still felt like she had to maintain the lifestyle she had built. Instagram, the modelling all the exposure. In order to keep herself looking slim she had to stick to diets and workouts that she hated. She had to keep a strict skin-care routine that took up way too much time, spent money on clothes that she didn't even want to wear. Manami want's to stop but she's afraid of her parents reaction, that they are so obsessed with the money she gives them that they would abandon her. She already has little to no real friends and doesn't think she could handle that sort of loss. She also doesn't know what her fans would do either, they could completely bash her and start stuff that could potentially ruin protective careers for her. She'll break eventually, and it won't be good. In order to keep some sort of sanity Manami plays games such as DnD and Final Fantasy in order to escape the life she's living, to be someone else entirely. Someone she wishes she could be.[/indent][/indent] [img]https://i.imgur.com/7vm2if6.png[/img] [hider=Manami's Family] [hider=Mother and Father][img]https://i.imgur.com/QfrKvBd.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/9INsdmA.png[/img] [color=bc8dbf][b]Haru Takahash and Akemi Takahashii;[/b][/color] Manami's father and mother. They had Manami when they were in their late twenties. They met coincidentally and truly loved each other, not caring that neither had much money when marrying. They moved to America from Osaka, Japan to try and have a better life. Luckily Haru landed a job in Sol City and with their daughter modelling from childhood they made more than enough money. Greed is strong and like with most people it took over Manami's parents. Even now much of Manami's money goes towards keeping her parents lavish lifestyle afloat, if they didn't have her money they would be poor and broken people. They seem to realize this and often guilt trip her, saying that it was her responsibility to take care of them, that they were so proud of her. Manami feels like she can't betray them.

She took the cat in when he was only a kitten and since then the two have been the best of friends. [/hider] [/hider] *Your age: 23 *What part of the world are you from?
