Mikoto Jounetsu

Appearance
Mikoto has incredibly pale skin and long, silky, jet-black hair that tends to be a little messy and reaches down past her waist. Lipstick color varies depending on her mood. Mikoto's eyes are a dark brown, and her facial features are rather rigid and angled. One of her most striking features is Michelangelo's The Last Judgement tattooed on her entire back. Another tattoo is a crucifix tattooed on her right thigh, but that's not so easily visible. She stands at a decent 5'3", and is built somewhat slim. When in school, she wears the standard uniform. Outside of school, Mikoto favors darker clothing, especially darker red. Her casual wear tends towards corsets with a jacket cover, and skirts with leggings. Seems to borrow more from a gothic style of wear, but with small bright pieces here and there, especially in her jewelry, which tend towards brighter colors like light blues, greens, and bright reds.

Personality
Mikoto is at once both cold and intense. To those she simply meets on the street, Mikoto is aloof. But when in pursuit of a goal or person, she does it with unbridled passion. To her friends, this same intensity can be glimpsed occasionally, especially in competition. She is rather religious, and tries to be moral, but often slips a bit. Mikoto prefers stability, trying to keep her life in control and moving in ways that she wants. Unexpected or unplanned events are not exactly to her liking, but she tries to adapt and bring things back under control as quickly as possible. Mikoto also tends to like finding out new things and embarking on new endeavors. She can be quite vain where clothing and jewelry are concerned, and can spend more time than necessary picking out her outfit for the day. Mikoto also dislikes being forced or coerced into doing things, and always tries her best to forge her own path.

Background
Mikoto had always been a bit on the rebellious side as a child. Her parents tried to raise her Buddhist, she went Christian. Her mom made her dress in nice bright clothing, she went and decided a more gothic style was suitable. Her father tried to make her capitalize on her intelligence by pushing her into harder classes and get better grades, and Mikoto retaliated by simply not trying. This slowly went away as she got older, and now as a first-year, she puts in the work to get above average grades, but not much more. The news about the Midnight Channel, the TV World, and the disappearances intrigues her greatly, especially after reading the Pandora postings. Her parents moved into Inaba at the beginning of the school year, but Mikoto has been away until now, and will be transferring into class 1-1 shortly.
