Meet the New Class – Student Number 06 – Watanabe Miyako


1) Contrary to appearances, Miyako is not an idiot. Her grades aren't the best simply because they don't need to be. She sometimes answers questions in class incorrectly on purpose in order to deflect attention, since she doesn't want to be bothered by others who want her to explain how to do their homework. After all, if her roommate Ayumi found out she could breeze through assignments with little trouble, she would try to get her to do her homework, too.

2) Miyako, despite her cute, occasionally somewhat trendy appearance, is a total geek, in several fields. She does math in her head for fun, an alien concept to most of her classmates.

3) Singing was something Miyako had never been interested in until a few of the others dragged her off to a karaoke place after school one day. With a little practice, she quickly became the best singer in the class, maybe even her whole grade; she is even better than her classmate Sasaki Rina, much to the other girl's chagrin.

4) Miyako may not be an idiot, but she is shy. Incredibly so. In fact, it was all she could do to summon the courage to walk out on the stage at the Battle of the Bands tournament in May. When she found out she had to do it again and again later that night, she nearly fainted.

5) When dealing with Miyako, one must remember to expect the unexpected. After all, who could have known she had such a great singing voice? Or would come in second place just behind Rina in gymnastics in P.E.? Or would end in the top ten in the yearly marathon last year?

6) Don't mess with Miyako. If you do, you'll have a small legion of fanboys (and fangirls) out for your blood. Her following is small as of yet, but is steadily growing as internet videos of the No Name Band's surprisingly good showing at the Battle of the Bands circulate.

7) Miyako has been going to Mahora for school most of her life; to her, a normal afternoon walk may well include any combination of the following: explosions, distant gunfire, martial artists practicing their skills against each other, motorcycle gangs getting chased by a classmate...you name it, she's seen it twenty times. She once spent a week in downtown Tokyo with an aunt who simply insisted on dragging her out to 'see the sights' every day of her visit; she found the experience rather boring and dull.

8) Miyako has big, pretty eyes that somehow seem to give the impression that she is in a permanent state of surprise. She never really thinks about it, but a lot of guys seem to find it utterly irresistible.

9) Miyako believes, deep in her heart, that everyone is basically good and kind-hearted. This sort of wide-eyed idealism would normally leave someone bitter and broken after years of disappointment, but Miyako has a better understanding of the human psyche than that. She instinctively understands why bitter, cruel people are the way they are after a brief conversation, and makes allowances for them in any future dealings with them. Somehow, this works and the coldest, most cynical of careless bastards feels the world has become a little warmer after a conversation with Miyako.

10) Miyako is not an idiot; she knew what she saw the night of June seventeenth as she watched from the window of her darkened dorm room while her roommates Rosemary and Ayumi were asleep. She stood in the darkness behind the window for quite some time, watching in awe as the P.E. teacher, the one everyone called 'Scary Max-sensei', fought off a gang trying to enter the dorm. She had at first thought he was firing a small portable blowtorch to keep them back, but she had seen that sort of thing before, and the flame was all wrong. A blowtorch burned steadily until you turned it off; whatever the P.E. teacher was doing involved explosions of fire and what she could only imagine were fireworks, even though they didn't look like any fireworks she had ever seen. And then a woman on a broom had flown past her window. Yes, she thought the next day as she carefully watched him during P.E., she knew what she had seen; it could only have been called 'magic'. She resolved to get to the bottom of this, one way or another.

Notes: Miyako is another one created from scratch just for SW3. I felt her peaceful, kind 'let it be' sort of personality offered an interesting sort of dynamic when paired with Ayumi's caustic personality and Kara's seriousness. She is, like the others, a member of the No Name Band; she plays no instruments, but she does sing and sing well. She's the cute, shy member of the group who prefers cute, plain clothes and the occasional sundress to the more trendy clothing styles of some of the other students. Physically, she's more on the 'Cute' end of the spectrum rather than 'Beautiful', and her smiles tend to make people feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Her hair is a rather nice shade of blue normally seen on cars, medium length, and quite unruly; she often looks as if she forgot to take the time to brush her hair when she got out of bed that morning. This, combined with her wide, pretty, green eyes tends to make her appear to be sort of stupid; the fact that she often wanders around daydreaming only reinforces this (incorrect) idea.
