Background:

Spoiler

                       Izumi Cho Jade was born as a middle child of two weebs. Yes, that's right, both of her parents were weebs. She had an older brother named Hayato, and a younger sister named Sumiko. Hayato was a no-nonsense individual, who was normal and sporty on the outside, but there were times when Izumi spotted him watching or reading something from their parents' collection, mainly within the topics or categories that reflected him or his life. Izumi was seen noticing this at one point, but with a simple gesture, he was at ease knowing his secret was safe with her. Sumiko grew up shy, and often clung to Hayato or Izumi, if not her giant plush bunny, hiding behind either of the three for a sense of security. Izumi herself just so happened to take after her parents the most. She was only older than Sumiko by two years, however, and she was younger than Hayato by four years. An odd divide. Her parents introduced her to their preferences of content at times when they believed she was old enough for it. When she was a child, she was given the first introductions to anime content. Obviously it was particularly selected, as to make sure it was suitable for her at the age she was. As she got older, she was introduced to more anime and manga when she asked. During this time, a few shows and manga of popular media that hasn't died yet ended up introducing her to gaming as well. Young Izumi liked a lot of things that she was introduced to, and she could rely on her parents to find and suggest more things for her when she wanted something new. While this wasn't to the point of spoiling, it certainly made her aware that the genre was quite a widespread form of media.

 

                    Young Izumi noticed that she took after her parents more than Hayato and Sumiko did. Hayato took after their parents slightly, but only behind closed doors. It was a mild, guilty pleasure of his. Sumiko might not have taken the same level of interest as Izumi did in anime, but she would often make it an excuse to stay near and spend time with trusted individuals like family. It didn't take long for Izumi to realize she might be the only child of the three who openly enjoyed the format. In this part of Izumi's life, she didn't talk very much about things she liked unless it was with family, or her first friend. This first friend of hers, Maya, was quite the energetic type, active and raring to go. Izumi liked being around her and would often want to do activities with her. One day she introduced her to an action-packed anime or two, and she ended up making her first friend into a fellow young weeblet like herself. Now that they had more in common, their imaginations began working more hand in hand together, and they had many fun times throughout the years.

 

                 School life was arguably simple. When she was in elementary, she barely wore her interests on her sleeve, because she didn't think she needed to make them the conversation topic with people she didn't really know. Besides, she had Maya, so she was fine for the time being. She only became more willing to talk about her interests when she decided she might want more friends, over in her middle school days. Unfortunately for her, that was when she learned the hard way that some people are disliked for their preferred interests. Maya stepped in to defend young Izumi at the one time that day when a group of four judged her harshly, to the point where it was physical and almost downright hostile. When Izumi returned to her parents, she told them what happened and they helped her through it, they were there for her, willing to guide her on what to do about this social judgement she'd endured. The next day she was feeling as confident as ever, though less on the inside as well as the outside. She didn't need to care about what the haters thought, she just needed to handle the present time, and if haters showed up? She wouldn't dare let them tear her down verbally. Words hurt, but she learned how to be like rubber, at least for a time. Quite a few words still stung, but not as bad as the sticks and stones from that one incident...at least Maya had her back when this happened, as well as a new friend, Layla.

 

                As Izumi entered her high school years, things really began to make major changes. Not only did she begin to discover even more kinds of content suitable for a weeb like herself, but high school itself was a major hurdle for her to overcome, mentally, physically, and especially socially. In the Freshman year, she only had two friends, Maya and Layla. The three would hang out with each other whenever they could, and one day they were approached by a guy named Roy. Layla tried to turn him away, as she did with many, but to Maya and Izumi, he seemed genuine. He turned out to be real friend material, and the three forgave Layla, who apologized over her course of action lacking a real first impression. By the disappointed look in her eyes, however, it seemed that a lack of first impressions wasn't the only reason...

                         Izumi and her three friends would have plenty to get into as they all enjoyed each others' company. While not all of them were weebs like Izumi, there were plenty of interests, activities, and forms of content that each person liked something of, so despite personal interests, they did happen to have some things in common that kept them together, if not simply being there for each other. Izumi, of course, now got much deeper into weeb stuff than she had before, and was on her way to becoming a truly full-fledged weeb, watching anime and reading manga of multiple genres, including but not limited to, Fantasy, Isekai, Slice of Life, Mecha, and more. She would sometimes think about her friends, suggesting anime or manga, sometimes even a game, that had a chance of falling into a friend's interest. Finding the middle ground and a blend of interests was something Izumi liked to do. It helped her connect and find things in common, even though she was willing to try a few other things herself.

 

                              High School life continued, and in her sophomore year she made more new friends, Elaine, Jacob, Maria, and Evan. Together, all eight of them were quite the friend group. No one in this group really fit in with much of the other groups in the student body, so they ended up making their own. Izumi felt lucky, knowing that she had seven friends she could count on, while most others like her wouldn't have that large of a circle outside of the internet. She saw them all as great friends, and they seemed to reciprocate this. While they didn't always get along(Jacob had the most conflicts and issues), they did their best to keep the group from breaking apart. Maya theorized at one point that Izumi was the one who brought them all together. Izumi, of course, would laugh and say that both she and Maya were the glue holding this circle together.

                          As her high school years slowly drew to an end, she realized she hadn't thought well enough about what she could become. She had to do something... Her skill with gaming, her willingness to discover and enjoy content...maybe...just maybe...
                                  Izumi began to talk with Maya, who she hoped would be able to help her in this pursuit. Izumi was considering the idea of streaming, to make her living by sharing her experiences with others. Be it reaction content with something new she wanted to watch, or the fresh experience of playing a new game, there was always something coming, and there were many possibilities out there she could work with. Of course, this would in itself be very new to her. She did not know if this would be the right path for her, but she wouldn't know if she didn't try.

                        Hayato overheard one of their conversations on the topic, so after one such conversation ended, he came up to Izumi to recommend to her that she get a part time job for the sake of having some steady income along with what she intended to do. Izumi considered the thought as she noted it down. Once she graduated, she put her plan into action. She didn't know where she'd be if it weren't for her friends, for if they weren't directly involved in a stream, they were helping by spreading the word. A few months in, she caught the attention of another streamer, one who mainly did games specifically. Over the internet, the two managed to collaborate once, and in the field of gaming, they were friendly rivals ever since. Izumi couldn't have imagined a better start for herself. She had seven amazing friends, siblings she was on good terms with, parents who were proud of her, and she was just doing what she loved.

                                  One day, however, everything changed. She began to hear of Sword Art Online, a game where one could truly delve into a world, as though they were really there! Caught up in the appeal, she got herself the game, along with the NerveGear required to play it. Finally, a chance to live out an incredible journey...
          But she would learn the hard way that it came with a heavy price.
     When the announcement came, she was shocked at the realization, that she had unwittingly traded one life for another, and that her life on earth was linked to this one... meaning that if she fell in battle here, it wouldn't be any different from actually dying...
                        Izumi Jade, now Miryu, had come to the realization, that she had just been isekai'd for real.

 

 

 

 

Personality:

Spoiler

          Izumi, as her background states, is a total weeb who enjoys plenty of anime, manga, and games. She is also open to trying things, even if they don't always work out. Whether she likes it or not, she has been mildly influenced by the content she'd consumed throughout her life, and some things ended up sticking to her. Regardless of whether she has something to smile about or not, she is bound to work towards a positive future, with a life that not only can be enjoyed by her, but also by others who choose to be around her, those who accept her for who she is. Due to the attention she'd received from Layla, random individuals, and a portion of her followers when she was streaming, she has become very aware that she looks cute and has been doing a good job keeping up with her appearance. She is comfortable and confident in herself from an appearance standpoint, although not proud or arrogant. She is kindhearted, flexible, and determined, but she can also be somewhat klutzy, emotional, and a daydreamer.

 

 

 

 

Virtues:

Spoiler

Kindhearted:

Miryu is as sweet as she looks. Willing to lend a helping hand to those who need it, she will answer the call if someone needs her. Having been in need herself, she knows what it's like to be dealing with problems, issues, opposition and/or enemies. A friend in need is a friend indeed(though, of course, an enemy in need is hilarious).

 

Flexible:

Miryu's attempts to dive into others' interests as to understand them better has given her a disposition where she may try multiple methods. Instead of only seeing one option, she might try multiple before getting stumped again. Life flows like a river, but there are times when the streams break into multiple possibilities. Who knows, maybe she might surprise you with something that hasn't been thought about the situation, be it a social thing or a puzzle thing.

 

Determined:

Miryu doesn't like the thought of giving up. She doesn't want to stop being herself, she doesn't want to stop doing what she enjoys, and she isn't going to stand by if someone threatens her, her lifestyle, or either of the above for friends, family, and innocents. She stands for what she believes is right and true, and she refuses to let anyone change that. To oppose her is to fight against a current, torrent, or rapid.

 

 

 

 

 

Flaws:

Spoiler

Somewhat Klutzy:

It is entirely possible for a knife to be sharp on one side while dull on the other. Given this, while she has knowledge and wisdom in some aspects, she's still not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Nobody's perfect, so she's bound to make mistakes, including ones that might end up causing her to stumble greatly.

 

Emotional:

Miryu feels feelings, as many people do. She's not afraid to show what she's feeling, however, and this is both a blessing and a curse. While having her heart on her sleeve in this case can brighten someone's day with a contagious smile, there are scenarios that can have negative consequences, mainly in terms of reactions that trigger or wound her. While the latter is a rare case, it's not impossible, and an emotion-driven action isn't always the best course of action...

 

Dreamer:

Just because Miryu has entered a world where fantasy becomes reality, doesn't mean her habits as both a dreamer and daydreamer have suddenly stopped. When danger isn't headed her way, she may sometimes reminisce of good times within her past, or dwell on future scenarios(with positive endings, of course). She's also a bit of an idealist, in the sense that she wants to have a wonderful life worth sharing with others. Whether or not she'll dream bigger than that, however, has yet to be seen.
