Character reference and best friend!
You met your true love recently. You can remember it like it was yesterday, because it was yesterday.
There you were, walking home from the convenience store one night (last night, to be specific), when you were suddenly accosted by a thug with a knife. Sure, your power would render you immune to knives, but that would require you to attach yourself to that scumbag. Gross. Still, you were ready to do it, when a masked figure in a vivid, bright blue and black costume fell from the heavens, grabbing the criminal by the wrist and forcing him to drop the knife. A few moments later, and that criminal was on the ground, his hands roughly tied behind his back as he kicked and struggled in futility.
You practically swooned, as you stared at your newfound love. You asked his name, the ice cream in your bag starting to melt, but you didn't care.
"Ten Man," he said.
"I'm Ganko," you said, staring at him, drinking in his body like it was melted ice cream. (Your parents were annoyed about the melted ice cream! What jerks!)
"Are you alright, miss?" He asked. He was only mildly disconcerted by your lovestruck stare, which is just more proof that he's the one for you! As if you needed any more than the pounding feeling in your chest every time you think of him, for proof of that.
"Yes, thanks to you," you said.
"Well, I need to be handling this fellow. You run home now."
"Of course, Ten Man. I'd never get in your way!"
"...thank you, miss," he said, before running off, that thug in tow.
The moment you got home, you didn't even shove the ice cream in the freezer, which is the primary reason it melted. Instead, you simply dumped the convenience store bag in the entryway and rushed to your room. You yanked out your laptop and found out his power by looking online, and guess what? It's the perfect match for yours!
You see, he has enhanced strength (and by extension, agility), but as he uses it, he builds up a charge. When it passes a certain threshold, he explodes, electricity arcing around him, stunning people, but he's left vulnerable until he as a bit of a chance to recuperate and recover.
That fits perfectly with your power, which is to disincorporate and basically turn into a friendly ghost, wrapped around a person and using short-ranged telekinesis to manipulate objects near them and shield them from attacks and projectiles. While he's vulnerable, you can cover for him! It makes perfect sense!
You also looked for his personal life, but unfortunately he's one of those heroes who keeps it hidden from the general public. You wonder if he has a cute little brother or sister he wants to protect, or perhaps he's a widower with a young child, and you can mend his broken heart with your youthful exuberance and love.
Ah... you can't wait until you're married, happily doting on him at home... it'll be so perfect...
The only real problem is your parents... they're "concerned" because of your "sickness." Oh, don't even get yourself started on that! You'll rant and rant, and you know what? You love to rant, even to yourself, in your own head! So you'll do just that!
Your parents got "concerned" after your last breakup (it only happened because he wasn't the one! Thus him breaking up with you!) and rebound (that guy also wasn't the one! You thought he was, but you were wrong! Probably because you were just coming out of a relationship), so they sent you to a psychologist. That psychologist - who's a big fat idiot by the way - diagnosed you with "Medean Personality Complex."
What that "means" is that you love "too much," or "more than is normal," or "to an unhealthy degree." In practical terms, it means you have a lot of love to give your future husband, Ten Man! More than normal girls do, even! They call it "obsessive," but as far as your concerned, it's everyone else who's sick. They don't love enough! Somewhere out there is their soulmate, and they just act like that person's happiness isn't literally the most important thing in the world to them. Sounds like they don't really love people enough, to you.
Your psychologist wants you to train to "mitigate it," but forget that, you just met the perfect man! You're supposed to try to love less now, when your future husband is finally in sight?! You'd really have to be crazy to do something like tha-
Your ranting monologue is suddenly cut off by the class bell, signalling the end of the period, and by extension, the school day. You put your bag over your shoulder and walk out, having plans to meet with your friend.
You need to go meet up with Mai! She's such a great friend, and she trusts you so much. You always walk home together, and the one time you didn't because you had to follow your boyfriend home, she cried! (That boyfriend broke up with you the next day, because "you text too much." Ridiculous! If he doesn't like your love filled text messages, he could just put you on ignore, and you could happily send them anyway! Boys can be so stupid!)
Mai's a very pretty girl, but she's never had a boyfriend! You know she has a crush on a boy, because when you asked her about it, she said she had somebody she liked, but they didn't know she liked them back. You thought she should just go for it - since if it was love, it was meant to be! - and told her as much. She just laughed and hugged you and told you how wonderful you were. You thanked her for the compliment and wished her the best with the guy she likes. That made her cry too. Come to think of it, she often cries about stuff you do, and sometimes you don't really know why. You guess it's because you're such good friends!
Her back is resting against the school gates, but she straightens up as she sees you. "Ganko," she says, with energy. She's wearing her black hair up in that cute twintail style she's so good at. "I'm so happy to see you again. Did you touch my heart today? In the literal sense, of course," she adds. "You always do in spirit."
You laugh at her little joke. "Of course I did! I touch it every morning and night."
"Thank you. I really appreciate it," she says, with a radiant smile. "I'm sorry I couldn't join you for lunch, I was feeling a bit under the weather and spent it in the nurse's office. I felt as if I had the most terrible premonition..." she adds, gently touching one finger to her chest in thought. "I almost thought it related to you, and sometimes I can feel a little through my heart. Is everything well?"
She's such a great friend, to worry about you when she's the one who was feeling sick. There definitely was nothing from her heart, though, since you're doing great! "I'm fantastic!"
"That's a relief to hear," Mai says, smiling warmly.
"I met a great guy," you say, and her smile becomes fixed in place, as if she was maintaining it at a constant level to show you exactly how happy she is, rather than letting her body's natural movements alter it even the most minuscule amount. She has such funny quirks! "He's a superhero, and he saved me from this criminal, who held me at knife point."
"Oh, I'm so glad you're alright," she says, stepping forward towards you. Her fingers delicately stroke your cheeks and neck, running along every inch of exposed skin, as if seeking out any little scratch. "Nothing is hurt, is it? I'd hate for your natural beauty to be marred by such a thug."
"That jerk didn't even lay a finger on me," you say, with a casually dismissive gesture. Her hands pull away. "Besides, I could have just used my power. We're twinsies," you add, flicking your finger between the two of you, then balling it into a demonstrative fist. "Unkillable young maidens!"
"Well, you are not quite as unkillable as I am," she says, with a small bow of her head. "Still, you can continue your story, if you like. Tell me all about this..." she shakes her head as she continues, practically shuddering, no doubt thinking that any guy you like must be incredibly hot and cool and sexy, since you have such great taste, "man."
You blabber on and on about Ten Man, and Mai takes hold of your hand as you speak, lacing her fingers together with yours, starting to walk as you talk. She offers you a courteous smile, her eyes staring at your cheeks, not meeting your own. When you pause for breath, she speaks up again. "You are so beautiful."
"Thank you!" You say, then start talking about Ten Man once more. She sighs, no doubt wistful and wondering when her love target will finally come into her sights. She needs to put him there!
