Character Name: Lisa Imai Canon: BanG Dream! Girls Band Party
About: University freshman; Team Mom who went through some bullying in middle school and had a hard few years failing to deal with it properly. She's fairly 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 she's having a hard time and so is a little unstable again. That's manifesting as her being clingy and a little submissive, letting others lead her instead of putting herself forward, along with seeming a little distant and unusually quiet. 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. Practicing her bass guitar again, and carries it when there's space on her shoulder beside her school bag. Doting on her girlfriend, Junna, recently rescued from a Disturbance, while also drawing strength from her. In the Dream Sphere, protects others with her Sandglass bass guitar as Dreamer Rhodonite. Signed on to a unit with Ai and Hibiki, but...
Short Term & Long Term Plans: So. That sure happened. Yes, they got Junna out, and Lisa is immensely grateful to everyone at the Dreamer Union (or otherwise) that helped in the operation; while Junna was being examined and such, Lisa went home and baked a big huge batch of cookies, and dropped off the lot at the DU front desk to share with literally everyone. She'll also be keeping an eye out for the four that took on the Night Terror, to make sure they're all right. But she did a couple things she isn't proud of in the Disturbance, and had a couple of major breaks that have left her emotional state... a little off? She's largely fine, but she's quiet, a little withdrawn, and occasionally stares into space; her wardrobe is suddenly looking fairly grey and black, her usual red scarf just about the only spot of color she's got. When she dropped off the mountain of cookies, Lisa also took a leave of absence from Dreamer business for at least the month and maybe longer, citing Director Yoshino's mental health directives; she'll actively refuse to go to the Dream Sphere this month for anything less than a Disturbance which thankfully is next month.
She's going to spend a fair bit of time trying to make sure Junna's in good shape again, but doesn't want to entirely monopolize her time given there are plenty of other well-wishers, so she will be found around the city from time to time. She seems like she really needs a hug or something, though, and is actively avoiding the Dreamer Union building for some reason? If asked, she'll be honest that she's waffling on what being a Dreamer means to her, and needs to get her head sorted out before she's ready to go back. Frankly, she needs to get her head sorted out in more ways than that, and she's going to be spending some time actually seeking help to stabilize herself. But beyond that... Lisa also needs to spend some time deciding what she wants to do with her life. Not her parents, not her friends, not Junna, her. She doesn't have a firm grasp on that, and it's ruining her life.
Uh. In slightly less(?) depressing news, Lisa will be swinging by Promised Morning's graduation ceremonies, she's got a friend or two moving up to high school and at least two graduating from high school, and she's excited for them! Unfortunately, that's also the day the story about Ai begins to develop, and since Lisa's known to be part of Ai-Doll's Unit, she's going to be really confused, then really concerned, and will rally around Ai aggressively, which will eventually be what gets her to return to the Dreamer Union. Right up until the typhoon hits and she ends up helping Karen make sure the windows don't get smashed in.
In longer-term plotting, despite prior claims to the contrary, conditions are developing for Lisa to disappear into a Disturbance; I don't have a date planned yet but the next calendar opening seems to be early summer? I have a lot of planning to do before I'm ready to even submit a proposal, but. It's coming. Be there. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.
Desired CR: Musicians and those with related vocations! Hell, she's even starting to sing, even if she still insists she's not very good (it's a lie, she's fine). College students! Young adults! New residents! Dreamers, though her opinions are going to be all over the place! And honestly, probably anyone else I haven't mentioned yet. She's still happy to meet new people, she's just a little off in general. But hey, if you didn't already know her, you don't know anything's wrong, yeah?
Anything Else?: I had this in my original draft but couldn't figure out where to fit it back in - I hit a really weird, honestly somewhat concerning headspace in the back half of the Disturbance log and it made me take a pretty hard step back for a moment. I think I have a handle on things, but as always, if you see something strange, or if I'm letting Lisa drive too much instead of keeping her on the track, shout at me. I'm going to be a little cautious with tags for a bit while I make sure I know what I'm doing, though, and it's part of what's motivating Disturbance planning.
