(Late) First Impressions/Relationship Meme... thing

Comment with your characters names and I'll tell you what Raimei thinks of them! If there's someone you'd like to have meet her, I can stalk their threads a bit, and give you a fair indication of how things would go.

HI RAIMEI

Juuust Robert, I think?

HI ROBERT

To Raimei, Robert's got a lot of likeable qualities. Being smart and well-mannered are always a plus. Despite that, she still thinks he's a weird kid, in the sense that all young people should be energetic, full of gusto, etc. But then, her close friends, Miharu and Kouichi, aren't like that at all, so he reminds her of them. She does worry if Robert gets lonely, hence the incessant bothering and the pestering to go out and MAKE FRIENDS. Which is probably an issue of projection. She considered herself destined to be alone until she met Miharu, and then he called her his friend, and she was suprisingly happy about it It's made her a pretty firm believer in the idea that having friends can change a person's life for the better. She wants to share that joy, and she'll do her best to make him more receptive to it. Or die trying.

In the manga, it's pretty much established that Raimei thinks Thobari-sensei is incompetent. Even so, I think Raimei respects Thobari-sensei at least a little. I'm pretty sure Thobari is the only one she doesn't address just by their first name. Granted, it can also be interpreted as a lack of emotional closeness, but I don't think that's the case here. While we're on the subject, Kotarou may be more knowledgeable regarding jutsus and Nabari, but I still think that she holds Thobari in higher regard than Kotarou, even though he's her leader.

Camp doesn't really change much, and the fact he arrived after she did doesn't improve her opinion very much. And then she canon updated. By volume 8, she's a little less retarded, and more inclined to give people a chance and forgive them. This won't stop her from throwing the blame for various things happening to Miharu, but it does mean she'll listen to Thobari when he tells her to back off, instead of ignoring him and plowing forward on her own.

Raimei likes Sheryl! Things started out kind of funny at the beginning. Raimei is hardly a girly girl, and sometimes Sheryl says things that she doesn't really understand, so it made it hard to relate to her. At the same time, the same things she can't figure out are the reason Raimei wants to get to know her better. When she finds out about Sheryl's aspirations to be a pilot, that's officially when she made it into Raimei's cool book. If there's one thing she respects and admires most, it's a person who's willing to work hard and do whatever it takes to achieve their dream through their own efforts. So Raimei gives her props! That respect now carries on to everything that has to do with her, making Sheryl Raimei's go-to girl for girl-related things, if she ever works up the nerve to ask questions.

I dunno, we only had like one thread but... IMMA COMMENT ANYWAY?! er.

The first impression was good though! People with weapons are A+ in her book, and people who let her talk about herself get bonus points! He seems like a nice enough guy to her. She'd like to have more conversations about weaponry in the future.

I CHOOSE YOU PIKACHU! SHUICHI!!

He's automatically cool for being a friend of Miharu's, and Raimei thinks he's a really nice, normal, friendly guy; the kind of friend she'd like Miharu to have. He can match her own energy level, which she thinks is totally awesome because most of the people she knows are way more chill. Even though their hobbies aren't the same, the fact he's still dedicated to training earns him her respect. Bonus points for being a baking buddy! She loves to bake, and she's really glad he told her about the club.

Raimei-chaaaaaaaaaan~

She met Sharon, too. :Db

sorry this took forever. DX

[identity profile] canihassword.livejournal.com 2008-08-25 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
KAN-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!

Raimei supposes he's a nice enough guy. She's not really big on the education thing, so the folklorist dealio doesn't really interest her that much. On the other hand, she wants to pick his brains about it, since there are immortal beings in her world (all of two), but she's wary of telling him too much. He's obviously clever to her, and comes off kinda sneaky, and because of that she doesn't know if he's trustworthy or not. He does have some things working in his favor. The fact he's trying to find a way to help a friend resonates with her, and is something about him she respects.

Raimei and Oz had a conversation about Sharon at one point, so she was expecting to eventually run into someone super-girly, though she was assuming Sharon would be more of a damsel in distress type. Meeting her gave her a sense of "Oh. This is what a girl is supposed to act like." And Raimei wasn't sure if she could relate to someone like that, but Sharon's choice of a new pet put a spin of awesome on things, and Raimei was happily surprised and impressed. Sharon shows her it's possible to be tough without any masculine bravado, which earns her major cool points in Raimei's book. There's a definite possibility of bothering her again.

I believe DP an Raimei had discussion over cake~

SORRY SO LATE DX

Raimei doesn't have much of a major opinion on DP yet. But she rarely hates anyone, and anybody who appreciates her cooking is A+ in her book. She thinks the whole super hero get up is strange, but it's not really a big thing to her. She's chalking up some of the the pop culture references to speech quirks (the ones that are sadly lost on her, like "Lazytown" :( ). But otherwise, he comes off as upbeat and easy to talk to, and she enjoys the banter. She also likes that the friendly advice didn't come off too serious and lecture-y like it would with most of the other adults in Camp.


ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE MOVIES EVER. ARE YOU READY FOR THE SEQUEL?!

Raimei~

Just Itachi, I believe.

[identity profile] canihassword.livejournal.com 2008-09-10 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
IFFACHI saved Raimei's life, which is one hell of a first impression. As a result, he comes off to her as a rather upright kind of guy. His quiet demeanor makes her feel like she needs to pick at him more to figure him out. Thus, she pokes him. Incessantly. The fact that he's rather good friends with her brother is a reminder that Raikou is capable of being a pretty decent guy himself-- which she often forgets, especially while they're fighting. Sometimes, she wonders if she'd be able to poke at Raikou the way she does to Itachi if circumstances were different. In that respect, Itachi serves as a replacement older brother when she considers her own to be rather lacking in the sibling-like behavior department. His experience in camp makes his warnings and advice slightly more valid than that of the others she's met, even though she doesn't follow it. In the end, he's a good friend whom she respects a lot, even though it doesn't often come off that way.

Hi Raimei ♥

Just Remy.

[identity profile] canihassword.livejournal.com 2008-09-10 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Raimei is rather fond of Little Chef! Home was a pretty crazy place, and with camp proving to be even crazier, a talking rat seems rather par for the course. She happily rolls with the idea, and it doesn't hurt that Remy is a pretty nice individual. He's earned himself an A+ for being fond of cooking, and she'd gladly cook with or exchange tips with him. Outside of cooking, she pours her energy into being a samurai, and she's the type who'd lay down her life for someone she considers a friend. Remy is no exception to the rule, and her promise to protect him in her deaged form still stands.

SELECTING APPROPRIATE ICON

[identity profile] canihassword.livejournal.com 2008-09-10 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
The "S" sibling relationship is kind of complicated. They have the potential to be a pretty awesome combination, but the factors that put strain on their relationship screw things up a lot. The fact he's very loyal to the Kairoushuu has a tendency to stamp out most of their potential for a normal brother-sister relationship. From Raimei's point of view, no good can come from the organization. They're willing to use people for their own gain, and just throw them away (like Yoite), and Raimei finds something seriously wrong with that. Figure in the fact that the Kairoushuu is responsible for the deaths of many of her Fuuma village comrades, and it all adds up to some pretty justifiable anger in her book. After fighting alongside them at Alya Academy, and meeting Gau, her opinions of individuals within Kairoushuu has changed, but not the group itself. She just doesn't get why anyone would want to be so loyal to someone like Hattori Toujuurou, and thus, Raikou is a dumbass for doing so. Part of her will always hope that he'll come to his senses, because she loves him, as any little sister would.

When united in a common goal, they do pretty well together. Being the calmer of the two, he can get her to keep a level head with a good smack to the face. She appreciates the way he balances her out, as much as she protests. She'll even grudgingly concede that he can give half-decent advice. She doesn't even mind the teasing, even though she gets irritated, because it seems to give things a sense of normalcy. And in the end, he's the only one who can really relate to her when it comes to the death of their clan. The fact that he carried the burden of truth alone bugs her a lot, but she understands that he did it because he loved her. Deep down, she loves him just as much-- if not, more-- which is why being enemies is so frustrating.
