Personality
Aya acts very differently depending on the situation she’s in. When at home and around people she’s familiar with - her parents, her teacher, etc. - she’s very friendly and talkative, being very passionate about the things she cares about. She doesn’t keep very many secrets and is very open with them about what’s currently going on in her life; despite this, however, she doesn’t spend a huge amount of time with them because she prefers to stay in her room with her laptop and her blog.
Aya’s blog is her pride and joy. While she normally keeps a straight face outwardly, her posts are very expressive and full of life. She shares all of her thoughts here and feels no qualms about what she may type or share. There are some things she would feel uncomfortable talking about with her parents or teacher, and she turns to her blog for such things. Blogging has given Aya her first friends, and she’s very attached to the people she’s formed friendships with, communicating with them easily and feeling no worry over whether she may be bothering them. Her words have an air of confidence but avoid going into rubbing her fame in her followers’ faces. When hidden behind a computer screen, she’s very social, and has no problems with communicating with others.
In a complete contrast to this, around people she’s unfamiliar with, especially people her age, she’s nervous and unfriendly due to her past experiences with the public. She won’t talk much unless spoken to and tries to make herself fade into the background and seem smaller than she already is. If spoken to, Aya is cold and standoffish - but not mean - and avoids physical contact as much as possible, as it makes her uncomfortable, but, nonetheless, she has a quiet air of powerful confidence. When insulted, she doesn’t react much, having already hardened herself against negative comments towards her from her blogging experience, but will have no qualms in returning the favor, as Aya enjoys words and literature, and her large vocabulary provides her with an arsenal of words to use as insults.
However, she will not be excessively mean to anyone first. She treats people the way they treat her, so if you’re nice, she’ll eventually become more friendly and open to talking with you; however, she retains a certain distance from people and is reluctant to talk about herself. Aya has trouble talking to people face-to-face - as compared to her ability to communicate when behind a computer screen - due to a lack of social skills, so she avoids looking others in the eye, as it will make her feel intimidated even more. She doesn’t speak when she feels it’s unnecessary, perhaps to avoid embarrassment, but also because talking to people without the intervention of electronics is very different than what she’s used to, and she feels unnerved by the thought of approaching another person and speaking to them directly. If you want to talk to her, you’ll probably have to talk to her first and address her specifically because she’ll assume you’re talking to someone else.
Speaking Mannerisms
Aya’s voice has always been quiet. While talking to people she’s close to, she fairly talkative despite this and is very passionate. Around those she’s not familiar with, she’s much less talkative, and she’s not particularly friendly and seems very nervous. However, in both scenarios, her words always have a powerful, confident air behind them, and when she talks, she always seems to speak with purpose. Her fondness for literature and writing translates into having an expansive vocabulary when she speaks. Some people her age - or even people older than her - may question her words and the meanings behind them, but her vocabulary is perfectly normal to her.
She avoids eye contact in general, but especially when speaking. Out of nervousness, it isn’t uncommon for her to finger the cord of her necklace, tug at the ends of her sleeves/bottom of her shirt, twiddle her fingers, or other nervous-seeming behaviors. Despite this, she doesn’t have much of a stutter, and will only begin to stumble over her words when flustered/angered/upset.
Background
Aya was born into a wealthy family as an only child, as soon after Aya’s birth, her mother was deemed infertile after a fight with cervical cancer - which she has seemed to recover from since, and there hasn’t been a sign of the disease since. Because of this, Aya was spoiled rotten, and her wishes were taken care of to the extreme. When Aya expressed fear over going to private school for the first time, her parents thought she wasn’t ready to be out among other people and found someone who would teach her at home. While Aya learned at quick pace and seemed to be at the same level as many students her age, she never learned crucial social skills, so when her parents convinced her to finally try schooling with other kids when she was seven, she was terrified.
All the people scared her because Aya was a small child with a fairly weak body and everyone seemed gigantic, and her small stature, nervous stuttering, and smarts garnering her a target for teasing. One week later, her parents returned her to her homeschooling when she came home in tears because some bullies had kicked sand in her face saying “she’s so close to the ground, she should be used to it!”. During this period of time, Aya was introduced to the marvel known as the computer, and she instantly became attached to the contraption. At first, she used it to play games that her parents bought her and learn about things she was curious about, but as she grew smarter and older, by age nine she was exploring the corners of the internet. She grew infatuated with the idea of being able to share your thoughts with everyone in the world at once and wanted to give it a shot herself.
Around this stage in her life, Aya began to show a proficiency in literature and writing in her studies, and when she wasn’t at her lessons or teaching herself about the wonders of the internet, she was trying to figure out what she liked to write, using both pencil and paper and the word document program on her computer. By the time she turned ten, she discovered blogging, finally finding something she thought she do.
So, Aya researched what a blog was, what their purpose was, what they could be used for, everything she could think of. She taught herself as much as she could about this new thing that she’d stumbled upon and approached her parents about the idea, wanting their opinion. While she wasn’t sure what she’d blog about, her parents thought it was a wonderful thing that their daughter was trying to socialize with other people, even if it wasn’t face-to-face interaction like they hoped - it was something. With their approval, she created her first blog, making posts about what she loved most - writing.
Initially, she was an unknown blog like millions of others, but as it always seems to go, she made this one post that spread across the internet like wildfire. Suddenly she had so many people paying attention to the things she wrote, and it was kind of surprising how much feedback and comments she got on her posts afterwards!
By this point, Aya spent nearly all her time on her computer. She came out for her lessons, but otherwise, she only came out of her room when necessary, and while this concerned her parents, she seemed really happy and was always gushing about her blog and how much people liked it, so they couldn’t complain. In addition, she’d expressed interest to her tutor about learning English in order to share her thoughts with even more people, and she began the slow process of learning a second language.
Eventually, she expanded her blog into other topics besides writing. She reviewed television series and games, provided her opinion on current events, and often, whenever someone would look up a topic, some article she did about it on her blog was one of the first and most popular results. She had thousands of people actively following her, and probably many more who checked out her blog every so often. Her blog was one of the most popular ones on the internet - and as she became more and more fluent in English, she began posting in that language as well, attracting even more viewers. She was thirteen.
Of course, no popular user of the web can be void of getting hate, and Aya certainly wasn’t an exception. While at first, seeing people write nasty articles about one of her posts or her blog in general or getting absolutely terrible comments on her posts along with the normal positive ones unsettled her and made her rethink the whole ‘blogging’ thing, she looked around some of the blogs she herself followed and enjoyed and discovered - hey, these guys are also getting comments like this! It’s not just me!
She hardened herself against them, learning that of course she wasn’t going to please everyone. Not everyone was going to like every one of her posts, and not everyone was going to like her. She began friendships with her fellow bloggers, reaching out to them at first for advice on how to handle the negativity and gaining friendship in return. This gave her an unbelievable boost of confidence in herself that thrilled her parents. Aya worked hard to improve the quality of her posts, her blog, everything she could think of, striving to better herself through the blog she’d put years of effort into. That effort attracted the attention of individuals at a certain well-known academy and earning praise and negative attention from websites worldwide.
Upon the time many students would be entering their first year of high school, Aya’s parents received a letter from the renowned Hope’s Peak Academy. It requested that Aya attended their school under the title of Super High School Level Blogger, and, at first, her parents were reluctant to even mention it to her, knowing that her last experience with outside schooling went far from well.
Nonetheless, they approached her with the letter, wondering whether she thought she could handle it. While Aya was equally reluctant, she turned to the one thing she knew she could rely on and made a post about it, expressing her concerns about going to an academy such as Hope’s Peak and looking for opinions and support. More than ever, she received feedback, people commenting on the post, the number growing into the thousands - maybe even the millions. The majority of them understood her concerns but encouraged her to give it a shot anyway, and her blog friends - whose opinions she trusted the most - replied in a similar manner.
So, she went to her parents and declared that she’d be giving this ‘Hope’s Peak Academy’ a shot. Her personal laptop in a case made for just her in hand and a USB drive hanging from a cord around her neck, Aya nervously hoped that ‘third’s time the charm!’ applied to all situation as her parents dropped her off in front of the school and watched her walk inside.
Aya acts very differently depending on the situation she’s in. When at home and around people she’s familiar with - her parents, her teacher, etc. - she’s very friendly and talkative, being very passionate about the things she cares about.
