Introduction: Newly-promoted supervisor within Retail Hell. Magical girl and band girl appreciator; also a fan of games involving Cute Girls Doing Cute Things if we still use that genre descriptor. Ask me how deep into Atelier hell I've thrown myself.

Character Name: Lisa Imai
Canon: BanG Dream! Girls Band Party

About: Graduating senior at Promised Morning; Team Mom who went through some bullying in middle school and had a hard few years failing to deal with it properly. She's very good at outwardly playing her ideal, bubbly, caring, outgoing self, but it's masking some moderate insecurities that can cause her to react unexpectedly and show visible cracks in her facade. She's working on the worst of her emotional excesses, and it's showing, but it's also taking some time. Big into fashion and bright colors, so long as her mood's not bringing her down; makes her own clothing and accessories. Bakes cute and tasty sweets and gives them away freely; still stress bakes sometimes. Plays the bass guitar, but has been too busy with her other hobbies to practice on this side. In the Dream Sphere, protects others with her starsand-filled bass as Dreamer Rhodonite. Signed on to a unit with Ai and Hibiki, but will join in if anyone needs a spot filled in their pick-up group, too.

Short Term & Long Term Plans: Short-term, sinking into despair- ah, ahem. That's not wrong, but let's be a little more specific. Going into March, Lisa's got weight on her shoulders that probably shouldn't be there; she's really, really nervous about graduation, because she has no idea how to function socially without the framework of school to fall back on. Finals are ironically a somewhat distant second on her concerns list. She can do it - the fact that she functions in Dreamer society is proof of that, plus the friends she's slowly making - but she doesn't quite recognize that. And then the pattern will establish itself, the call from the DU will come in, and she's going to freak the hell out. It was a distant worry when it was Miomio, it was seriously concerning when it was Ango but she was too caught up in her own head to do much about it, and now someone she's close to has been thrown into a Disturbance and she'll be beside herself all month.

She's signed on for an Expedition to try and hunt down where Amane disappeared to, but once they locate the Disturbance, she's going to throw herself into the Dream Sphere with reckless abandon; as before, I am not signing up for the boss combat because I can't promise that kind of consistency, but she's going to be hanging out in the Disturbance as much as she physically can otherwise. If you need her for something in the waking world, expect her to be tired, short, and anxious, and it may take some convincing to get her to go anywhere. In Dreams, she's going to be wound up and impulsive; please be patient with her (or don't, as you will). Her mood is going to be erratic and a little swingy, but she will listen to reason. She's going to be a wreck for graduation, but she's going to push herself to be there because it's important to her - she put herself through hell to keep moving forward, and she's earned this.

I'm handwaving that she gave out Valentine's chocolate last month; she made a bunch to give to people, and her CR generally got more involved stuff. Normally she'd be anxious for White Day, but there is literally no space in her brain for that this month, get back to her after they drag Amane out. That will also be when she finishes worrying about her continued education, after she realizes the sky isn't falling and she isn't as bad at adulting as she thinks she is. As an aside, if you want to get her to take a break and relax, she'd be up for a trip to the gardens; she's been waiting for them to open for the season, and she probably will feel calmer while she's there, at least for a little while.

Desired CR: For the middle chunk of the month, Lisa will... probably actively resist socialization. Sorry about her. Outside that, she's going to lean on her friends a lot. Please feel free to run into her making bad life choices and pushing herself way too hard across the city, and if you force her to stop and take a break, she'll be willing to talk a little bit then. Her other normal concerns are completely out of mind this month - she'll be too worked up to knit, too anxious to bake, and if she's going to play bass it's going to be in front of Nightmares.
