Plotting: Miharu by nature doesn't have a ton of close connections, so it's unlikely there are a lot of ins for close friendship pre-game. However! For just the low price of beating your head against an aloof wall repeatedly, you may yet come to know her or have already encountered her in passing! She's far from a shut-in, but she does wall herself off from others and dedicates a lot of time to working and studying hard since she does not have the benefit of wealth.

Miharu uses the in-game name Scitalis because she cares about protecting her identity!! Even with people she's on an IRL name basis with in game, she will only ever give "Miharu." In-game, she's pretty no nonsense, very direct ("you're standing in the fire and that's why you're dying"), and idles in town a lot. You ever just log into a game and sit there because you're sad? Yeah. She plays a water-element Edge Punisher and is clearly not someone who Games, but she has a breadth of knowledge about the pop culture of the day. She is on a handful of forum/mailing list spaces with the same handle, though, including one for people who have gone through near-death experiences and people who have lost parents. It was probably someone online who nudged her toward Fragment, and your character is welcome to be that online acquaintance if you want!

She's also somehow kind of lured toward the mystical, even if she is a Top-Tier skeptic and doesn't actually believe in any of the stuff she looks into. Probably. She should technically not be able to work at a maid cafe because THEY REALLY DIDN'T EXIST IN 2000, but we have full body sensation VR in this AU, so like, you know. Arrest me. She works part-time at one of those groundbreaking new gimmick cafes in Akihabara. If your character has been or, idk, read publicity about the culture of Akiba, they might certainly see the resemblance in her avatar.

Anything else? Her permissions post has some opt-outs and pretty big triggers if you want to review them before the game start!

shit i don't have a meme help. give me your best iconic text posts and i'll have to make some

[tinged]

omg hani would love to idle and talk pop culture with her when they're not idling...! sounds fun

[ophidie]

oh yes!! she definitely gives off the impression that she isn't SUPER into it, but she's fairly knowledgeable nonetheless, and eventually there will be Something that peeks over the disinterested vibe she's giving them. stealth joke out of nowhere or her enjoyment of legally distinct cardcaptor sakura emerging idk.

[weaseled]

page topping is so gauche

takes your paws in mine, you've assured me that she's a Very Normal Girl so naturally i'd like cr with your Very Normal Girl, please and thank u

[ophidie]

yes though give me your cranky old man IT MUST BE NICE TO NOT HAVE TO JUGGLE WORK AND SCHOOL AND JUST PLAY VIDEO GAMES ALL THE TIME

[fluorite]

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEIR CR!!!!!

[ophidie]

ME TOO i don't think miharu needs a tutor because she's pretty smart and studies hard, but they can definitely talk studying things too in addition to all the other stuff they are going to have in common to chat about...

he's going to make an attempt to get her socializing during the first event isn't he?

[fluorite]
