- GENERAL APPEARANCE Masuyo is, generally, an attractive girl by most standards. Her face is very round, with chubby cheeks and large eyes. She isn't the thinnest girl you could ever meet, but her tubbiness isn't a hindrance and only increases her doll-like appearance. She sees her nose as very large, but in reality it is only a little on the wide side, and fits her face.
inside your head.
- LIKES Dancing, singing, walking, rice, miso, hello kitty.
- DISLIKES Running, sweating, getting her hair done, getting in trouble, watching tv.
- FEARS embarrassing herself, failing as a geiko.
- GENERAL PERSONALITY
- SWEET.
Masuyo is a very sweet girl. she can never bring herself to be spiteful or rude, or she feels terrible afterwards. she enjoys helping everyone and often goes out of her way to do favors for people. She doesn't like watching people be bullied or made fun of, but she is too shy to stick up for anyone, even herself. This often elads to embarrassment, for when she is being teased she only tries to ignore it and never says anything back. People often think she is spineless and doesn't know how to stick up for herself.- GULLIBLE.
Because of Masuyo's sweetness, she often gets used or tricked. She has a hard time believing anyone would lie to her, and so she often gets hurt and betrayed. Sometimes she neglects her own duties to help other people, and so gets in trouble, which she hates. People like to take advantage of her gullibility, and she is the victim of a prank very often.
the past.
- MOTHER Atsuko; 35; secretary.
- FATHER Atsutomo; 42; kimono designer.
- SIBLINGS
- none.
- MOST IMPORTANT EVENT When her father allowed her to become a shikomi.
- GENERAL HISTORY When Masuyo was four, her father's comany went bankrupt. The family lost everything - their house, their car, their social standing. They were left relatively penniless. Thankfully, her father had a few reserve skills. He set to work designing kimono, while her mother went in search of a secretorial job. Both succeeded in their business ventures, and the family was back on their feet.
Masuyo's father soon became very popular in the geisha world. His designs were both original and beautiful, and his work was most sought after. Eventually, he became particularly ... attached to the Miyago okiya, if you catch my drift. His mistress was okasan of the okiya, and he devoted a large amount of time to designing kimono especially for the okasan's geisha.
Masuyo spent many days at the okiya while her parents were at work. The okasan had no children of her own, and was more of a mother to Masuyo than Atsuko ever was. Masuyo was very attached to the woman and was enraptured with the floating world. Her favorite thing to do was watch the maiko and geiko dress for the evening and sneak into their rooms once they were gone to sniff the powders and stroke their kimono.
Masuyo begged her father to allow her to become a shikomi when she turned fifteen. He refused for many years, until finally the okasan convinced him that it would be good for Masuyo. And so an arrangement was made and it was decided that Masuyo would become a geisha. She had to wait many years, though, and during that time, the okasan died. Masuyo was apprehensive about becoming a shikomi after she was gone, but decided to go ahead with her dreams.
