Ikuko Ishii

Ikuko Ishii is a 1st-Year student attending Siegfeld Institute of Music.

Appearance
Ikuko is 5'6 and not afraid to show it - her posture is straight, she walks with large strides, and has piercing, almost unkind eyes. Couple that with piercing holes adorning both ears, and she cuts a pretty impressive figure for a first-year. Her waist-length hair is normally a dark brown, but she bleaches it and keeps it up in a tight ponytail. Outside of classes, she likes to untie her ribbon and keep the uniform blazer unbuttoned, if worn at all. Her casual clothes are mostly imports from America - graphic tees, cargo pants, bomber jackets, the works.

Personality
Ikuko is meticulous - she doesn't like going into something without a plan. She's slow to make decisions, but you bet she'll stick to one if she makes it, come hell or high water. Her inflexibility in that regard has definitely been a pain for people trying to cooperate with her, as she isn't very willing ot budge an inch on anything. She is quick to give praise as she is to dish out criticism, believing that saying what's on her mind is important.

Background
Ikuko grew up in Yokohama fairly normally until she was forced to move to America because of a messy divorce between her parents. She had a hard time adjusting to the sudden new environment - but instead of retreating inwards, she did the opposite by throwing herself at everything in an effort to carve out a niche for herself. She played several sports. Then flitted around clubs. Then took a whole year to focus on her academics. She had some clear likes and dislikes, but eventually came to the conclusion that a career in acting was what felt most appealing to her (especially considering how much fun the Broadway musical her mom had taken her to watch was). After badgering her mom, Ikuko got permission to move back to Japan for her high school education at Siegfeld on the condition that she wouldn't be moving in with her dad. Due to her moving in after her middle school graduation in June, Ikuko was about 2 months late to that school year. She made the executive decision to take 10 months to brush up on her Japanese, settle in her apartment, and get a part-time job to support herself.
