PLAYER

NAME: Shelbi (she/her)
CONTACT: wickedturnips@plurk, wickedturnips#8065 on discord, and journal PM all work fine!
ACTIVE TIMES: 5pm~10pm MST if I'm feeling it on weekdays??? and Whenever The Mood Strikes on weekends.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: As below, I'd prefer to avoid torture stuff as a genuine character conflict thing vs stuff that comes up due to outside influences (games/events), and would appreciate a tap on the shoulder before any Unexpected violent situations!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

VISUAL: She looks like a little girl (and is actually 18ish), but her body language is much more self-assured and with less fidgeting than one might expect from a 7yo! She's also multiracial, white and Japanese, for characters that that means anything to.
DEMEANOUR: Varies a lot depending on the situation (often composed with an edge of sarcasm or playfulness, sometimes prissy, sometimes crocodile tears, sometimes lazy...), so the important thing is that unless she's deliberately putting on the little kid act (which she does very infrequently), she definitely comes across as adult-like in her body language, composure, vocabulary, etc.

IN CHARACTER

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: She's usually not a fan but will allow it under certain circumstances, and what with the family roles, will probably be a lot more casual about it than her norm.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Give me a head's up! She takes a lot of abuse in canon so this is not off the table, just, y'know, head's up.
RELATIONSHIPS: that sounds incredibly awkward for everyone involved,
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Feel free to mindread! Ai won't be happy about it but that's fine!
MAGICAL INFORMATION: No magic!
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Well, she's an 18-year-old that was very painfully shrunk back to a 7-year-old body after taking a poison but other than that, heal....thy....??? She gets fevers when she's too stressed?????
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: In her background: groomed and coerced into Crimes by the anime mob, family death, unethical medical experimentation, PTSD from being abused/hunted by people that want to kill her. From others: obviously sexy topics are like, awkward given her presentation; she does like to shock people by being Too Mature sometimes but this could obvs be uncomfortable from the other direction if they didn't know she's actually an adult so ??? COMEDICALLY IS FINE??? GET IN TOUCH IF WE WANT TO BE AWKWARD ON PURPOSE??????

OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGGING: Yes!
THREADHOPPING: Ask!
FOURTHWALLING: No!
NOT INTERESTED IN: Torture outside of a game, sexual assault (not for triggery reasons but because she's Schrodinger's Sexual Assault Victim in canon and I don't want to have to make a decision about if that's actually in her history before canon tells me lmao)

SECOND MEMORY
- Sweet and Cold Delivery Service (ch841-843)
private

Basic summary here; I'll come back to this! I basically gave it to her as a DEFROST BOOST since at the beginning of the chapter she's letting herself be silly and have fun with the Detective Boys, she gets to love on a cat, and then throughout the mystery of the chapter she's concerned about the kids (and Mitsuhiko especially). This is also her first time remembering Conan!

+ her name! I wanted to keep her from learning it quickly but honestly that's turned out to be impossible, so she knows that Ayumi calls her "Ai-chan" and the boys call her "Haibara(-san)"
+ all the kids' names, plus Conan-- it's pretty obvious that whatever happened to make her small happened to him too, so they must be in the same boat
+ mention of the BO/Bourbon/"that man," so, like, that's a thing??? she doesn't know what any of it means but it sounds like bad news, especially since she pulls up her hood when he shows up to avoid him getting a good look at her.

THIRD MEMORY
- Old Blue Castle Investigation Case. (ch200-203)
private

Basic summary here. HMM WE SURE DO STUMBLE ACROSS A LOT OF MURDERS

+ Ayumidere
+ shit I have a crush on this Conan guy that's embarrassing STOP CALLING ME OUT OLD MAN
+ reinforcement for the "cool under pressure" stat because we sure were being hunted down by a murderer huh

FOURTH MEMORY
- Last lunch with Akemi. (ch180 pg15)
private

Chatting with Akemi at a cafe! They're talking about Conan, though Ai doesn't know his true identity yet and hadn't actually met him. Shiho changes the subject and asks Akemi if she'd been doing okay, because she'd heard that Akemi had gotten involved in something dangerous. Akemi responds that she's fine, and she's more concerned about Shiho-- "stop working on that drug and go out and find a boyfriend!"

+ she has a sister!
+ who she loves DEARLY-- there was a definite feeling of "relief to finally get to chat/catch up" throughout the memory-- but who was mixed up in something dangerous???
+ "stop making that drug"...
+ her real-real name: Shiho

"AI HAIBARA"

Player Information
Player Name	Shelbi	Contact	wickedturnips \| wickedturnips#8065
AKA	I've played in CFUD, Aather, Court, and am currently in Forest Covered in addition to QM! Best Known For supersensitive / Ruka from di[e]ce.
Character Basics
Character Name	"Ai Haibara" / Shiho Miyano	Series/Canon	Detective Conan
AU/PG/Canon Point	do you KNOW how many chapters DCMK has I'm not picking a CANON POINT (I'll get back to this)	Game(s)	quietmounds
Canon Details	So about not actually being a little girl! Shiho was a child prodigy who was raised/groomed by the Black Organization, or the Big Bads in Detective Conan-verse. She was coerced into working for them as a biochemist until she was about 18, at which point some Shit went Down and they decided to kill her for refusing to continue her research. She decided to commit suicide with one of her own drugs rather than give them the satisfaction, but instead of killing her as intended, the drug caused her to physically deage and gave her the opportunity to escape as 7-year-old "Ai Haibara." (And yes, for the passingly-familiar-- this drug is also what happened to the titular Conan to make him a tiny rather than regular-sized detective.)
Character Details
Age	appears 7, actually around 18	Hair/Eyes	auburn / blue
Height/Weight	tiny 7-year-old / tiny 7-year-old	Notable Traits	Child model pretty, and half-white, half-Japanese!
15 Second Summary	Ai herself is pretty cynical after all her experiences with the Organization, and can be a little leery of making connections because of the danger of the Black Org finding her and the people close to her. As such, she can come across as pretty morbid and closed-off, but she does have a soft spot for animals, actual children, and, well, genuinely good people. She's doing her best to recover from her experiences, and has softened up some as she's been exposed to things like friendship, justice, and actual optimism for the future. Who knows, maybe not being relentlessly hunted by a ruthless crime organization for a while will turn out to be good for her outlook!
Quiet Mounds
Living	Apartments, alone	Working	TBD probably something online tho
There Since	New arrival, day 5	Starter Pack	The Student -- 2 packets of ramen, 5 five hour energy drinks, a notebook, a pencil, a packet of cigarettes, a box of matches, an extra $400 in ones rubberbanded together that reads "For Textbooks Only"
Clothing	Cute modern little girl clothes, but not really cuteSY clothes-- a lot of what she wears could just as easily be sized up and worn appropriately by someone her real age (ie late teens.) She favors turtlenecks, the colors red/pink&purple/blue, and often but not always opts for long sleeves.
Abilities & Permissions
Abilities	She has a spidey-sense for members of the Black Org. but that isn't likely to be relevant haha. Otherwise, she's obviously very, very smart, has great aim with firearms, and has stupid-high pain tolerance.
Permissions	Ai's got some Trauma in addition to her secret identity being very important to her to preserve, so while I am totally cool with people doing things that could be a trigger like grabbing/picking her up suddenly/hinting or outright acknowledging that they know she's not a child/etc., do know that she's gonna freak out about it in a not-funny way! Otherwise, get in touch if things are heading in a violent direction.
Sensing	Any telepaths will likely be able to pretty much immediately tell that she's not actually a child, since she thinks about her situation often and as much as she doesn't really put effort into speaking like a child, she REALLY doesn't think like one.

code from

twicebonded

Age: around 18, but 7 in appearance.
Height: TINY SEVEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
Weight: TINY SEVEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
Medical Info: Healthy! Stays up late frequently, though, so she'll probably look sleepy pretty often.
Eyes: Blue.
Hair: Auburn.
Physical traits: Notably multiracial, with a white British mother and Japanese father! Has fairly closed body language.
What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: Please avoid fictional talk or spoilers unless you talk to me first! Ai may not be the most subtle about it, but she is keeping her identity secret, and would freak out a little about people knowing who she was. If your character would be able to figure out that she wasn't really seven WITHOUT knowledge of her canon, please hit me up about that too!
Abilities: Nothing supernatural, though she does have a spidey-sense when it comes to members of the Black Org. or other uh. merciless killers. She knows how to handle firearms and is either a very lucky or a very excellent shot, anddd is a ~science prodigy~
Notes for the Psychics/Magically or Spiritually sensitive: Has a normal human soul, but telepaths might notice that she definitely does not think like a seven-year-old girl! She doesn't talk like one EITHER, but she's far more likely to think about things like living a lie/adult thoughts about the world than she is to say them.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Ask!
Hugging/kissing/other non-violent physical contact: SURE. She might pinch you.
Maim/Murder/Death: Nooo.
Cooking: She can at least make curry...! Probably decent at it.
Other: I think we're good.

97.9%; 47 in, 1 out!

Character: Shiho Miyano/"Ai Haibara"
Series: Detective Conan
Character Age: appears 7 (actually around 18)
Canon: Brilliant but arrogant teenage detective Shinichi Kudo was doing pretty well for himself, until one day he got in over his head and found himself overpowered and drugged by the shady fellows he was tailing. Miraculously, the drug failed to kill him and instead reverted him to his seven-year-old body. Now calling himself Conan Edogawa, Shinichi has to keep his identity secret from the people around him and track down the men who tried to kill him... not to mention solve all the murders that seem to happen whenever he steps foot outside his front door.

Ai Haibara comes into things as another victim of the drug that shrank Shinichi, with a twist: she's also the one who created it. A science prodigy who was raised in the ranks of a criminal organization, she took her own drug to escape the organization through death, and found herself escaping to a new life instead. However, Ai is still very much the product of her upbringing. She's collected, self-sufficient, and focuses on self-preservation. She cultivates a quiet and mysterious image, but her occasional speaking out will reveal her nature of dry sarcasm, sly wit, and maybe a little bit too much dwelling on the more morbid details of life. While "morbid" may be a good way to describe a lot about her, from her sense of humor to her worldview, she does have a soft side. She's fond and protective of her new caretaker and her first grade classmates, loves animals, and is gaining an appreciation for justice after teaming up with Shinichi. She might still assume the worst of everyone and think it's funny to pretend to threaten someone at gunpoint, but she's shuffling her way towards being a good person, and finding herself okay with that.

Sample Post:

The Director really is cruel, isn't she? Imprisoning people and experimenting on them, giving them only the hope that one day they'll be able to return to their homes and families... Raising the dead and forcing them to live in eternal hunger, experiencing the hardships of life without the sweet reprieve of death. Watching callously as people try to cope with the changes to their minds or bodies, not knowing when they'll return to their true selves...

It's impressive, but isn't it all a little tasteless? Unethical research does sometimes yield the best results, but turning some of Earth's most intelligent creatures purple is just juvenile. One also has to wonder about the intentions of a woman experimenting with how to change one's age, entire identity, and place in the animal kingdom... If her research really is a symptom of her nostalgia for her lost love, maybe the world is better off without Stephan Debussey. Or at least, perhaps in this case it would be best for a woman's heart to remain a mystery. However, whatever her intentions, no one could deny that the Director has truly accomplished some amazing things. I don't think I'd like to meet her myself, but she's certainly worthy of respect. Chasing after her goal so persistently, and creating the research that she has... It's beyond anything that I've seen or done myself. But, I have plenty of years to live before I'm as old as the Director.

While hopefully I'll be out of this place before I get to that point, in the meantime, studying the "age-up" virus should be a particularly valuable experiment. The Director may be more interested in making her prisoners prepubescent than she is in making them adults, but there are a few documented cases where it seems as if she tired of spring chicken in favor of something better-aged. Even if it's rare, any data I'm able to gather should be of use, as a week-long effect with no notable instances of causing immunization is better than what I've been able to accomplish... If the virus really is airborne and potentially contagious, it would be too dangerous to replicate exactly, but--

Oh, my... This is unfortunate, isn't it? A small girl like me, cornered by one of those tragic undead monsters. It was kind of the Director to supply me with a laptop and youth shotgun, but it's not like I would know how to handle a gun...

...Just kidding. ♫
