Short episode summaries ✧ TIMELINE: Post series
✧ PERSONALITY: Miu Matsuoka is a problem child. She usually doesn’t listen to others, and she often does things for her own amusement even if no one else finds them funny. This can range from a simple prank (destruction of property! Throwing a piggy bank out of a window! Trying to sell her junk at a fair!) to super elaborate if she’s in the mood (hitting a foul ball into her friend’s classroom, breaking the window in the process, so she can go get the ball and “accidentally” reveal her embarrassing last name). She’s horrible at staying silent, and she gets bored easily, but that’s okay--she’s the butt monkey, and people just hit her for it.
She’s also the stereotypical vain young girl. She’s obsessed with being the cutest, and as an only child, her mother buys her a lot of clothes and outfits for her. She gets upset when people ignore her and try to say otherwise…and she constantly reminds everyone just how cute she is, even going so far as to make “cute faces” that tend to weird her friends out.
Despite all this, she does have a bit of a lonely streak. As an only child, she constantly invades Chika’s and Nobue’s house just because she doesn’t like to get lonely or bored. In fact, when she gets lonely or bored, she breaks out toys that have been put away or starts to use her imagination, often with results that get her hit. For the most part, she’s able to ignore when people make fun of her, but when she’s serious, she can really get her feelings hurt, especially when she feels like she’s being ignored for someone else.
Despite how annoying she is with her pranks and inability to concentrate, Miu isn’t a bad friend to have. She actually does amuse her friends, and she’s able to keep them from getting bored…even if she has to copy their homework. Though she’s a bad student, she shows in the series that she’s actually quite smart--she is creative and quick-thinking, and she also knows a lot of random knowledge that the other friends are seemingly unaware of. Of course, she could just be watching too much TV…
Miu is annoying, obnoxious, and definitely an acquired taste. She loves to be the center of attention, and she loves it even more if she’s called cute, but part of her is lonely…just a small part, though. She’s still a loud-mouthed firecracker who isn’t afraid of doing what she wants to do, even if it’s completely random and makes no sense to her…and even if she breaks something in the process!
✧ ABILITIES/POWERS: Miu is a twelve year old girl. She has no powers, nor does she have any weapons. I’d like her to arrive with her squirt gun--it’s never shown in canon, but it’s a water pistol that’s used in chapter cover art and in one of her official figurines. Other than that, all she needs is a cute outfit~! ♥
✧ TIME OF ARRIVAL: Day
✧ MASK DESIGN:
Cat mask! ✧ PLACE OF SOLACE: Chika and Nobue’s house. It’s not Miu’s house, but it’s where most of the hanging out is done.
SAMPLES
✧ FIRST PERSON:
Hey, everyone! Listen up! It’s time for an announcement from the cutest, Miu-chan~!
This place is too boring now, so I’ve taken it into my hands to craft a masterful plan to have some fun! And no, I’m not going to use my squirt gun this time because someone broke it and owes me a new one!
This is the plan! Our time is now! We’re going…to play hide-and-go-seek! Whoever finds me will get an amazing reward, got it? I’m already hiding!
And someone better come looking for me this time, okay?
✧ THIRD PERSON:
Miu Matsuoka was a stranger to waking up in strange places. She always woke up in her bed, or in the bedroom of the house next door.
Immediately, she sprang out of bed and backed herself against a wall, checking the room out. Obviously, she was kidnapped or dreaming, or dreaming that she was kidnapped, so obviously she had to prepare herself. While most girls would have taken the situation seriously, Miu found herself moving slowly across the wall to the stained glass-window, reaching for the cellphone in her pocket.
“Come in, chubby Chika. Cutest Girl to Chubby Chika, do you copy.”
She waited a few seconds for an answer, and then a minute, before trying to call someone. When she realized her cellphone was different, she sighed, defeated. This was definitely a dream…and she had her water pistol with her, too. But…normally she wasn’t alone in her dreams.
Well! That meant it was time to explore her new dream world! With a running start, she threw herself against the door, expecting it to break like she had superpowers. When that didn’t work, she calmly opened it and ran out, yelling at the top of her lungs.
“Help! Help! Someone’s kidnapped me and I don’t know where I am!” She also fully planned on shooting the first person she came across with her water pistol, because they were obviously the culprit in this dream.
She just didn’t know she was lost for real this time. As she looked at the endless road, feeling especially cute since she was in a dream, her jaw dropped. Clearly, her subconscious had created something amazing.
And now it was time to have some fun.
