Ageha Yanaihara/Q&A

'''1. What is your full name? Do you have a nickname?'''

Greetings, my name is Arisue Yanaihara, it's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance.

Nicknames...I don't think I have any, in my knowledge at least. But frankly I don't think I will appreciate any of them given either way.

'''2. How old are you? When is your birthday?'''

Now, now, I don't think that's polite to ask a lady's age...But of course I wouldn't want to be rude either. To whom it may concern, I'm 16 years old this year and my birthday is on February 3rd.

Ahh yes..That is coincidentally Setsubun, the changing of the seasons as well, isn't it? 

'''3. Where were you born? Where do you live now? Are you patriotic?'''

I was born in the main house of the Yanaihara family, which I honestly don't recall any memory of it as I moved when I was fairly young...Currently I'm living with my family in the branch house located in Fujima.

Patriotic? I guess I could be considered as so..I do greatly enjoy this country, just that I doubt that I come off as more...vigorous, if that makes sense. 

'''4. Who are/were your parents? (Names, occupations, personalities, etc.)'''

My father is Akitsugu Yanaihara. I believe his name might ring a bell to some of you, a member of the Yanaihara Zaibatsu, a quite...known business conglomerate I guess. By all honesty, we don't really get along much, as he had been always burdened with duties ever since I was born..Well, he is still a father figure, and I wouldn't dare to complain about that either.

My mother on the other hand...Hatsue Yanaihara. I truly respect my mother, she really inspires me and I would love to see myself following her footsteps growing into a mature, traditional woman just like her. ...I think I might have gotten too excited about this, apologies, but yes, she is indeed the image I aspire to be. 

'''5. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?'''

Siblings...Ah yes, there's Satoru, my brother, as well as the only sibling I have.

How do I describe him I wonder...Well he could be, excuse my language, quite a pain to deal with at times, and I'm pretty sure some who truly know his nature would agree as well. Of course I have to take care of even him at times, and he surely doesn't appreciate my efforts, but he could be a wise person, I suppose.

I guess "wise" might be an unbelievable word coming from me yes, but he's my older brother after all, and I respect his efforts, as surprising as it sounds. 

6. What is your occupation?

I'm a student, without a doubt. I wonder, does being part of a Zaibatsu counts too? 

'''7. How tall are you? How much do you weigh?'''

My, my...Although I already answered my age, I don't think that's appropriate to ask a lady either.

Let's leave it at that. 

'''8. What color is your hair? What color are your eyes?'''

I have dark brown hair, as well the same colour for my eyes. I got more from my mother rather than my father's black hair, interestingly. 

9. What is your race?

....I think this fact was already quite obvious...Is it not? 

10. To which social class do you belong?

I'm honestly not sure, personally I would like to consider my family as middle-class, but there are...quite a few that disagrees. I wonder. 

'''11. Do you consider yourself to be attractive? Do others?'''

Unfortunately, I don't have enough confidence to consider myself as attractive.

Others, I'm not too sure since there's a rare number of people that approaches me..I definitely wouldn't mind to be called so though. 

12. What is your style of dress?

I personally adore traditional types of clothing, but as much as there are mnay elaborately coloured and embroidered kimonos I own, I prefer rather...somberly colours.

Of course the most important factor is that it must have no exposure at all. Speaking of that it seems that many young girls these days seem to display that as well which I certainly fail to understand...Aren't bare skin supposed to only be shown by your spouse after marriage?... 

'''13. Do you have any scars? Tattoos? Birthmarks? Other unique physical features?'''

I certainly fail to see I do...But many have commented that my presence resembles...a ghost from an old Japanese background for some reason? 

14. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?

Quite so...I've been sickly ever since a young age, which I didn't even get to spend most of my time outside due to it. Ah bitter indeed, but I learnt to accept that a long time ago. 

15. Are you right- or left-handed?

I'm right handed. 

16. What does your voice sound like?

My voice is frequently commented as soft and mellow, which I am very pleased to hear so. Yet again, there are also comments that it's quite..cold and monotonous? I certainly fail to see why though.

17. What kind of vocabulary do you use?

I prefer to use more...respectful vocabulary, since I think one should always hold respects towards another while speaking, as I simply couldn't tolerate vulgar language.

I do agree that there are times where others have difficulty understanding my words due to my dialect..."Complicated and rigid", I quote, but it couldn't really be helped.
