Name: Ichiko Tootome Age: 18 Grade: 12th Background: Ichiko Tootome is a vibrant and trendy senior Japanese high school girl known for her energetic go-getter personality. As the leader of the cheerleading club, she embodies enthusiasm and spirit, inspiring her teammates with her passion for cheer and performance. Ichiko has a peculiar affinity for strawberries, often incorporating them into her fashion choices, snacks, and even cheer routines. She proudly boasts about her cousin, Yumi Kohno, a talented wrestler, but also feels the need to distance herself from Yumi's more vulgar reputation, despite sharing a similar penchant for playful vulgarity when the mood strikes her. She has a little energetic sister who looks up to her and is very protective over, and she has quite a lot of cousins too, thanks to her uncle, Utsuro. So she’s often surrounded by a lively bunch. She tends to always see Ayaka, her oldest cousin, for wisdom and or problems since she views her as an older sister, so she tends to always hang out with her when she can. Personality: Ichiko is characterized by her trendy fashion sense and an infectious enthusiasm for life. She is a natural leader, always encouraging her friends and teammates to pursue their goals with determination and perseverance. Her vibrant personality makes her the life of the party, and she often draws people in with her charm and charisma. While she can be vulgar at times, her humor and candor endear her to many, and she is unafraid to show her true colors, whether that means being serious or playful. She’s almost too naive to a degree, absurdly friendly and forgiving. She’s probably one of the happiest, friendliest, and charming faces you could ever meet. She’s a bit of a lover girl, too, for better or for worse. She’s had crushes on several guys in school growing up, but none were really that kind to her when she got together with them. The cycle kept going until she met Peterson, whom she met during middle school in the 8th grade. He was actually the one who encouraged her to make a band and or join the music club since he happened to catch her one day in the music room banging on drums, she hung out with him since then and progressively started to like him more. She still likes him even now, even though he’s taken, but other boys still do catch her interest. She’s also strangely perceptive and more intelligent than she looks, being one of the most gifted students in school. She uses her intelligence to her advantage, of course, but mainly to just ragebait her friends since she loves drama. But she shows potential to be a detective due to her interest in mysteries. Interests and Hobbies: As the leader of the cheerleading club, Ichiko excels in choreography, performance, and team leadership. Her creativity shines through in the routines she designs, and her ability to motivate her squad fosters a strong sense of camaraderie. Her skills earn her respect and admiration from her peers. Ichiko is also a skilled drummer in the band "Fusion Thesis," where she showcases her rhythmic skills and musicality. Her passion for music allows her to express herself in a different way, complementing her dynamic personality, since, while she may not look like it, she’s actually pretty deep and big in the rock and metal scene. She’s a big fan of early metalcore and Nu-metal, along with Melodic Death Metal. She infuses her drumming with energy and flair, making her a vital part of the band. As a member of the freestyle dance group "Bae City Rollez," Ichiko exhibits her love for dance and movement. Her ability to combine cheerleading techniques with freestyle dance creates a unique style that captivates audiences. Her dance performances are filled with creativity and spontaneity, reflecting her upbeat personality and love for self-expression. When it comes to fashion, Ichiko is probably a close second to being a fashionista when put up against Rin. She always tends to create new trends in fashion with what she wears. She often finds strangers out in public who follow her style since she has an enormous social media presence, thanks to the cheerleading club. She’s also, weirdly enough, a pretty advent reader in mystery books. Particularly detective novels. She’s always been into detective stories when she was a kid, even solving a couple mysteries and missing pet cases. She’s rather perceptive of her surroundings and the people around her, so she can pick up on things that feel a little off or strange, as well as being surprisngly intelligent academically and emotionally despite how much of a drama queen she is. Social Circle: Ichiko is well-loved among her friends for her supportive nature and willingness to help others succeed. She enjoys lifting people's spirits and is often the first to celebrate their achievements. She's a very great friend with those she affiliates herself with; they appreciate her candidness and zest for life. They often join her for fun outings, dance sessions, and band practice. Ichiko's daily life is a whirlwind of cheerleading practices, band rehearsals, and dance sessions. She thrives in the spotlight but also values her downtime, enjoying moments spent with friends or indulging in her favorite strawberry treats. Despite the busy schedule, Ichiko manages to stay organized and focused, always aiming to give her best in everything she does.
