About:

Personality:

Anita is a friendly young woman who tends to try and do the right thing. Though she might not always show it on her face, she experiences emotions just like anyone else does, she just struggles to express them and this leads to the occasional emotional outburst. She can give of a fairly cold, callous impression and isn't the easiest to get along with if you don't know, in part due to her own bullheadedness. Though those who push through that tend to quickly learn that she is a friendly and loyal person who's generally happy to help if she can.

History:

Anita was born to a British man and a Japanese woman and she had a fairly good childhood in her early years. That wasn't to last though as they lived in a small village on Kysushu Island in the Kagoshima Prefecture. Despite Anita's best efforts she struggled to make friends with her classmates as she was different to them and that later became a reason for them to bully her. When ever Anita came home upset about it her father didn't provide much help at all, other then telling her to remain strong. Given that her mother worked more then her father, she never saw the full extent of the struggles and pain it caused to Anita.

When Anita was round eight years old her parents got divorced as her father had been caught cheating. After the divorce was finalised and Anita's mother found a new job near in the town she grew up in, in Niigata prefecture in the Chubu region. Anita chose to go with her mother, knowing the being treated as an outsider would likely not get any better, but she didn't want to live her father any longer.

Anita tried her best to make new friends at her new school, by joining the clubs she was in at her previous school, but this didn't really end up working out for her. But despite having no real friends, she kept going to the clubs as she simply did enjoy the Kendo, Athletics and Music clubs. It was through of her friends back on Kyushu that Anita got introduced to online gaming and she quickly dove into it as it gave her a way to spend time with the friends she left behind in Kyushu and it was a way to make new friends who didn't need to know she was only half-Japanese.

Whilst she did sign up for the Sword Art Online Beta, she never got in. This didn't stop her from taking what news she could on the game, most importantly its release date so she could be waiting outside the local store which sold them to get her hands on a copy.

Virtues:

Stubborn: Due to never quite having fit in as she grew up and looking different, nothing ever came easy to her. Yet her parents(mostly her mother) told her to never give up. Which over the years turned into her becoming a very stubborn and bullheaded person who doesn't tend to give up and is very driven to see things through to the end once she sets her mind to it.

Loyalty: Whilst Anita struggles with making friends, she is loyal to the people she does see as friend. And will do anything she can to help or protect her friends. Her dependable and helpful nature as a friend, means that when she does make friends they know they can rely on Anita to help them out in anyway she can.

Creative: Given that Shiori struggled with expressing herself, she always sought for a outlet that worked for her. To her that became music, namely playing a violin and singing. Though she doesn't feel too confident about the quality of her singing and tends to keep it to herself. Her creative mindset helps think of new solution to problems as they arise, making her quite good at adapting on the spot.

Flaws:

Reference: http://darkworldrpg.com/character-flaws

Emotionally Clumsy: Having been bullied a lot during her younger years led to her having a very cold and unfeeling expression, as to never show the hurt it did to her. This was a result from how her father always pressured her to be strong. These days she struggles with showing her emotions in a good way, which tends to result in the occasional emotional outburst, usually anger leading her to reckless and/or impulsive things or saying things she doesn't mean out of sheer frustration.

Trouble Expressing Herself: While Anita is completely fluent in the Japane language, having grown up in Japan, she can have some trouble expressing herself. She'll know what she wants to say, but can't find the words to actually say it. This happens most often in situations where her emotions get the better of her, but, to her annoyance, it can happen at any time. Luckily, it is easier when speaking than it is in writing.

Loyalty: Whilst Anita struggles with making friends, she is loyal to the people she does see as friend. And will do anything she can to help or protect her friends. Even if that means it might cost herself in some way as well.

Story Thus Far

The first day changed everything for Sayori, though she was certain she wasn't the only one who felt it like that. The fun and joy of exploring Aincrad for as much as they could before the announcement was thrown away in an instant following the announcement that this game had become a real life or death game. The added sense of betrayal she felt from Shizue's words didn't help with it either, nor did her initial reaction which was punching Shizue in the gut and running right of after. Some of their club of friends, the few friends Sayori had from her childhood years in Kyushu followed her.
For the first week Sayori remained directionless, in a way paralysed by her own doubts about people accepting her or not. This changed as her best friend managed to convince her to start doing something, instead of just letting herself waste away. Actually doing something, along with her best friend Kaito helped her mood tremendously. Which made the fact that he got killed all the harder of a blow to. Sayori fell into a depression for a while as her own doubts returned, now paired with self blame at the fact that she couldn't protect her friend. It took Sayori two years to overcome her demons, which she signalled by making a promise at the grave of Kaito 'In honour of your memory, I will find my place in this world and I will help in freeing myself and the rest of us.'
