About: History/personality

Sword Art Online…how could an avid gamer like Satomi not be attracted to something like this? Well, besides being trapped in a literal perma-death game, Satomi has led a rather normal life. Her dad died when she was small, so she was raised by her mom. Satomi barely even remembers him, but she’s still saddened that she wasn’t able to really meet him and have a relationship. She was born in Japan, and lived there until she was six, until her mother made a bold move and decided to move to America for a job opportunity! Specifically, Redmond, Washington. This was a seriously hard transition! Learning English, making new friends…the challenge was daunting. One thing that made it a little easier to handle is that her mom had the coolest job in the world – working for Nintendo’s HQ in America!

As time went on, Satomi eventually adjusted to this new world. Her English became fluent, and unfortunately her Japanese rather rusty. She made new friends, and would go every weekend to the 7-11 to get slurpies with them! It was one of the highlights of her week! In no time she behaved like a normal kid living in Redmond, with barely any factors that distinguished her from the other kids at school. Also, sometimes she would take a bus to her mom’s job, and was allowed to watch her work! It was super fun! As she watched the games anticipated by many get developed, it sparked an interest in her for gaming.

From then on, Satomi was in awe of games. That wasn’t her only hobby though. One of her best friends, Alexa introduced her to archery. One night during a sleepover at this friend’s house, they went to the backyard and shot small recurve bows in their pajamas! From then on, Satomi got her own bow, and competed at various tournaments, local and out of state. She’s always had a hard time finding a balance between these two, archery and gaming. Some days, she would practically live at the shooting range, and others would sprawl on her floor with her eyes locked onto the screen in front of her…but never giving an equal time to both.

Fast forward to the present. Now, she’s in college, and becoming a varsity athlete has turned her world topsy-turvy! She has to practice archery more than ever, yet she’s made countless gamer friends to play with! It’s a daily struggle, and her tendency to procrastinate doesn’t make doing all of that and completing her coursework any easier. Her major is Kinesiology, and she plans on becoming a physical therapist someday. She also recently changed her first name to Tiffany, but kept her middle and last name. She liked it better, and she also didn’t want to be branded as originally Japanese. From here on out in this journal, I will refer to her as such.

Some of Tiffany’s interests besides archery and gaming include science, Doctor Who, comic books, reading fantasy novels, and digital art. She absolutely hates dresses and anything girly, soap operas, celebrities (unless they’re athletes), and math. As for some personality traits, she’s an extrovert, energetic, over exaggerates her feelings, loyal, and honest (most of the time). She tends to procrastinate, as mentioned before, and also judges people too quickly, along with being too critical of herself. Her all-time favorite food is pizza, and eats way too much of it. Tiffany also likes staying up late, even if it takes a toll on her performance in her morning classes. She’s currently attending a university in South Carolina, away from her home, but she made sure to be in Japan during the release of SAO. If anyone would be one of the first to get their hands on the game and nerve gear, it would be her!

Virtues:

Loyal: When Tiffany makes a friend, she’ll be there through thick and thin for them, no matter the cost! Do her friends need help with a task while she’s currently working on a pursuit of her own? Her schedule is rearranged, because she’s stepping in! Does her party member need to be saved from death by a boss? Low health or not, she’s taking her weapon out. Loyalty is her most prominent trait, but not to a mary-sue level of course.

Honest: Tiffany isn’t likely to lie about her mistakes. While she’ll keep secrets when interrogated, she’s truthful to those she trusts. She’ll be open and communicate without her story being peppered with falsehoods. If she unknowingly lies to a friend (i.e, passing on information she didn’t know was false), she feels like she let them down, and worries if they’ll trust her again.

Intuitive: Usually, Tiffany can read people like a book, with the exception of them being overly mysterious. She carefully watches body language and listens to their voice, picking up on small things. The reason she’s so attentive is because she can’t stand it if someone is hiding something. If something is wrong, Tiffany will probably know…unless she’s currently distracted with something else.

Flaws:

Judgmental: Sometimes, Tiffany can take her intuitiveness too far and be judgmental, even if her impressions of that person are true. By first glance, she subconsciously decides whether or not said person is someone she wants to invest her time in. Unfortunately, she’ll falsely judge people most of the time. Her false assumptions can cost her to lose a possible friendship.

Stubborn: Tiffany is relentlessly stubborn! At times, so much so that others may find her annoying. If there’s a will, there’s a way, and boy does she have a will! If she has her heart set on something, she’s going to get it, no matter how crazy it may be to achieve that.

Self-critical: She sets the bar high for herself, and when she doesn’t achieve her goals, Tiffany will loathe and criticize herself to death. Sometimes, this will be so bad, that she can’t do anything else but sit still be self-critical. In her eyes, flaws in herself are not acceptable. When others try to step in and encourage her, she won’t listen, and this will sometimes push people away.
