Someone asked for me to put the profiles of the characters up, so this is information about the girls and some of the other OC's I created for the story.
Queens of the Court
Recognised members are Meyer Victoria, Jo Kida, Takami Annaisha, Shira Tamiko, Ishimura Yuki and Saka Kiko.
The Queens of the court have been undefeated since they were nine, when the club was created.
The general on court players are Meyer, Jo, Ishimura, Takami and Shira with Saka in reserve.
All Queens of the Court can speak English, but only Meyer and Jo can speak it fluently.
All the girls agreed to go to schools that had no previous female basketball club so they didn't have to worry about working their way to first string and also so they could continue playing together.
The teams game play is mostly unpredictable.
The team has three three-point shooters who can get it in from the centre line. These are Meyer, Jo and Takami.
They are well known through the female side of basketball, but are hardly recognised by the males and tend to be mocked.
Each Queen is capable of entering the 'zone', except for Saka. However, as they are rarely pushed, this is very rare.
They are not fans of the Generation of Miracles, especially Akashi Seijuro, because of how they treated their opposition in middle school.
Meyer does not like completely destroying the opposition and often does not allow the girls to score fifteen points above the opposition as she does not want the players to hate the game. This mentality has earned them some level of respect from most teams.
Meyer Victoria, Point Guard, Coach and Captain of Iwozuka Girls Basketball Team
Meyer has fair skin, grey eyes and light brown hair.
Meyer lives with her French mother Adora Meyer (nee Moreau), her American father Don Meyer and her younger brother Jean.
The Meyer's live in Japan because Don Meyer grew up there and wanted his children to as well.
Meyer can speak English, French and Japanese fluently.
Meyer met Jo Kida when they were in kindergarten. She considers Jo to be her best friend.
She taught all of the team how to play the basics.
She also taught them how to speak English.
Meyer is the second oldest in Iwozuka.
If Meyer weren't in the basketball club, she'd be playing baseball.
Her favourite colour is green.
Meyer, like Jean, is a talented singer.
She stands at one 164 cm.
Meyer has an unparalleled agility against the team's she has played, being able to shift her centre of gravity. This allows her to break out of 'ankle breaks'.
Meyer can change the direction she is heading midair.
Meyer is capable of jumping high but because of her height this skill is often nullified if her opponent is jumping as well.
Meyer switches between offensive and defensive positions during a game.
Jo Kida, Centre and Vice Captain of Iwozuka Girls Basketball Team
Jo has naturally dark hair but bleaches it blonde. Her eyes are light brown and her skin is darker than her team mates because she tans very easily.
Jo lives with her mother and father and doesn't have any siblings, though she views Jean as her brother because she's known him for most of her life.
Jo can speak English almost fluently after growing up close with Meyer.
Jo is the second youngest in Iwozuka.
Jo can play the piano exceptionally well.
She would be in the music club if she didn't play basketball.
Jo is quite shy around new people and occasionally comes off as arrogant if she isn't with her friends.
She is self conscious about her towering height.
Jo stands at 202 cm, but everyone rounds it down to 200.
Jo let's the younger siblings of her team mates to sit/stand on her shoulders so they can dunk the ball. She does this for shorter players and has done so for Meyer.
Jo has the lowest stamina of the team because of her height and because of this she falls back into defensive positions for most of the games.
Shira Tamiko, Power Forward of Iwozuka Girls Basketball Team
Shira dyes her hair different colours every other week because she can. Her eyes are dark brown.
Shira lives with her mother, Arisu. Her father died when she was ten.
Shira was the last person Meyer managed to convince to join the basketball team. She had to be bribed with nail polish.
Halfway through their second year of middle school, Shira was the shortest in the team until she had a sudden growth spurt during a holiday in London.
Because of her growth spurt, Shira has stretch marks along her back and they are referred to as her 'tiger stripes'. She enjoys showing them off.
Shira loves her height, standing at 190cm.
She is the middle of the Iwozuka girls, five days older than Jo.
Shira is considered the 'flirt' of the girls, however she very rarely dates any of the boys she meets.
Shira enjoys dunking the ball into the hoop and has a habit of 'smashing' the ball into the net.
Basketball is the only club she is interested in, and if she weren't playing she wouldn't be in any other club.
Shira can sing well like Meyer.
Shira dislikes wearing shoes.
Takami Annaisha, Shooting Guard of Iwozuka Girls Basketball Team
Takami has very dark brown eyes that look almost black, as well as incredibly dark hair that reaches halfway down her back.
Takami lives with her mother and her father. She has an older brother Yuichi who lives in Hong Kong.
Takami can, within minutes of playing an opposing team, pick out the strengths and weaknesses in the players abilities, as well as any previous injuries the player had sustained.
Takami is 179 cm tall.
She can play the guitar and was taught by her brother.
Takami enjoys playing basketball from a psychological point of view and does not run around as much as the other girls.
Takami, like Midorima Shintarou, has a pin point accuracy when shooting. The only difference is Takami can only shoot from the centre line inwards.
Takami is often found texting someone on her phone, but the recipient of these messages are unknown.
Takami used to have a crush on Meyer when they were in middle school and often gets teased by Shira and Ishimura Yuki because of it.
Takami is the smartest of the team out of the court.
Ishimura Yuki, Small Forward of Iwozuka Girls Basketball Team
Ishimura has black hair cut short except for her fringe which reaches down below her eyes and sits to the side. Her eyes are a mossy green colour.
Ishimura lives with her mother, father and three younger brothers Hiruko (ten), Satoshi (seven) and Gou (three). She used to have a twin sister who passed away from SIDS.
Ishimura was the product of a teen pregnancy, her mother was sixteen and her father nineteen.
Ishimura is the second fastest player of the team, second to Meyer.
Ishimura is the youngest in the team and she stands at 182 cm.
If Ishimura weren't in the basketball club, she'd be on the track team.
Ishimura suffers from Insomnia and often goes for midnight runs, against her mothers wishes. She also suffers from kleptomania and has a habit of taking other peoples things, however this has relented as she grew older.
Ishimura's favourite colour is red.
She consistantly wears a red bandana on her wrist and has done so since she was twelve. When on the court or studying, she uses it to pull her fringe out of her eyes.
Ishimura needs glasses to read.
Ishimura is exceptional at stealing the ball and interception.
She is a fan of Seirin and takes their losses personally.
Ishimura is both the most aggressive and stubborn player in Iwozuka.
Saka Kiko, Captain and Power Forward of Dojimazaki Junior High Girls Basketball Team
Saka has light brown hair and brown eyes. Her skin is lightly tanned from playing in the sun a lot.
She lives with her mother as her father travels for work. Her older sister works with him and is often away from home as well.
Saka suffers from a stutter when she's nervous or uncomfortable.
Takami and Jo often train Saka to shoot three pointers from the centre line.
Saka is refered to as Ki-Chan by Kazuki Katsuo.
Saka used to follow Meyer around before joining the team in elementary school.
Saka is only considered to be a 'Queen' when is playing with the official team. Because of this, she is the only one to have suffered a defeat without it hindering the Queen's flawless record.
Shira tends to blush when is around someone of the opposite gender.
Shira learnt to play the ukelele at Ishimura's request, purely because the latter thought it would be funny for her to say she could play it.
Saka is 180 cm tall.
Family and Friends
Jean Meyer, Dojimazaki Junior High
Jean is Meyer's younger brother. He chares her light hair and grey eyes.
Jean detests being called Meyer, preffering people to call him by his first name.
Jean was taught to play basketball by Meyer and during his first year of middle school was going to surpass her and her teams skills.
Jean was part of Dojimazaki Junior High's basketball club and was on first string in his first year.
Two weeks before his team was set to play Teiko in the prelimenaries he was hit by a car, resulting in him loosing his left leg from below the knee.
Jean is quite close with all of the Queens, but especially to Jo and Shira.
Jean is quite good friends with Kiyoshi Teppei and looks up to him like a brother after spending months in hospital with him. He taught Kiyoshi some card games.
Jean can make Meyer do whatever he wants and often makes her piggyback him around the house.
Jean is fourteen and stands at 173 cm.
Kazuki Katsuo, Captain and Power Forward of Iwozuka Boys Basketball Team
Kazuki is 186 cm tall.
His hair is dark brown and his eyes are dark blue.
He is good friends with the female basketball club but struggles with Jo.
Kazuki is closest to Meyer and Shira, but only Meyer calls him Katsuo.
Kazuki has a crush on Saka, but is unsure of how to approach her because of how shy she is.
Kazuki is a second year.
Kazuki's team was defeated drastically by Seirin, but claims he wasn't bother because most of the boys play for fun and nothing more.
Kazuki was good friends with Kasamatsu Yukio in middle school as they played together.
Through basketball he has become friends with many different teams.
Kazuki is incredibly friendly, but when he gets angry at someone he will hold a grudge for a long time.
Katsumi Ai, Captain and Centre of Shutoku Girls Basketball Team
Katsumi created the Girls Basketball Team at Shutoku.
Katsumi has played against the Queens of the Court since they were in primary school.
She both admires and despises the team when they are playing.
Katsumi is one of the few people Victoria plays all out with and can push Victoria to try her hardest.
Katsumi is a skilled all rounder, only being placed as Centre because she was the tallest in the team.
Katsumi gets along really well with both Meyer and Ishimura.
Katsumi, like Jo, can tell when Meyer is really trying or not in a game.
Katsumi is volatile when playing against the Queens and when she plays against Meyer they can get a little rough in their plays.
Katsumi is unafraid to admit she admires the Queens.
Katsumi is good friends with Takao Kazunari, they went to middle school together.
Katsumi is always looking to play the Queens no matter what and has Meyer and Jo's numbers.
Katsumi is taller than Shira at 192 cm.
Hotaru Ren, Vice Captain and Small Forward of Shutoku Girls Basketball Team
Hotaru has played against the Queens of the Court since Primary School.
High school is the first year Hotaru as has played with Katsumi.
Hotaru and Ishimura dislike one another but are often matched against each other because Hotaru can match Ishimura's speed.
In middle school Hotaru forced Ishimura to be benched after injurying her wrist on court, though she suffered a concussion after Ishimura punched her because of it.
It is often commented that Hotaru would fit in better at Kirisaki Dai Ichi than at Shutoku.
Hotaru used to go to the same middle school as Hanamiya Makoto and Imayoshi Shoichi, sharing an on-again-off-again relationship with the latter.
