Zodiac

Username:brenna_littlebird
Full Name Rakugosha Sohma
Goes by GoGo or Go-chan...she hates her full name and refuses to answer to it.
Age: 19
Zodiac: The Boar
Birthday: October 31st
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Appearance: GoGo
GoGo is a fairly attractive girl and she knows it. She also knows how to change that attractiveness into either sexy or cute with just a change in posture, a bit of makeup, and a slight raising or lowering of her voice's pitch. She stands at about 5'1", give or take a couple of centimeters, with a slender build and moderate curves. She refuses to share her weight, but she can guarantee there is practically no unnecessary fat on her body. Her skin reflects her father's English ancestry along with her silky, straight blond hair. Her eyes, however, are the brown eyes of her mother and Japanese ancestry. She often is the target of unwanted male attention because they think she's a foreigner, and the novelty of true blonds has yet to wear off in Nihon.

GoGo's curvy body is usually encased in the latest of GothLoli fashions, be it Cute or EGL. Her hair is kept no longer than to her shoulder blades, and is often styled into either two fluffy ponytails or kept mostly loose with two pigtails on either side of her head, with her bangs barely hanging in her eyes either way. Normally, she favors clothes that show off her figure, yet still give her a sense of 'kawaii'. She wears makeup rarely, and never cakes it on like many girls her age, but adores pretty accessories and jewelry, often incorporating many pieces into one outfit. And no matter what, she wears the trademark smile of someone who is too cheerful for her own good.
Height: 5'1”
Weight: She won't tell...(though medical records show she's 105lb)
Personality: GoGo is a Boar, there is no doubt about it. She's often stubborn and single-minded, refusing to let go of a dream or goal once she starts on the path to it. She's a fiercely loyal friend, and was the 'bully-repellent' growing up, since she had a shorter-than-normal temper when it came to those who hurt her friends and bullies in general. Shorter-than-normal? Ah, yes...Despite her preference of being 'cute'...GoGo has an extremely short temper. The only upsides to this are the facts that 1) she isn't as violent as her predecessor, and 2) her outbursts are always short and not very damaging, since she doesn't bottle things up inside. In fact, the only emotions she bottlees up inside her are the feelings of sadness and love.

Like most Cursed Sohmas...GoGo is afraid to love. And that leads to a great deal of sadness for her, since she eventually wants nothing more than to settle down and have children, maybe even teach. But GoGo, being the person she is, refuses to let others see her sad, so they don't worry. So she bottles it up inside, and releases it only when she is absolutely certain she's alone. To cover it up, she acts cheerful and upbeat, much like Kagura before her. She's the one who always has something positive to say, a kind word, or a creative pun. And her strangest habit...she talks in third person, except when reading something aloud, singing, etc...things that require her to use first person.

The side of GoGo that few ever see is a surprising one indeed. The girl is smarter than she lets on and LOVES learning. If it's new, she'll eat it up immediately; she's always up on current events as well as history; she's not so good at math or creative writing, but she appreciates those who are talented with those subjects, and is constantly sketching something. She loves curling up with a good book and warm drink, and despite her slenderness, she actually eats quite a bit. And she adores sweets and makizushi. 'Viva la Skittles!'

Crush: Aguri Sohma, though why, no one knows.
Interests: Gothic fashion, books of all sorts (except romance), teaching others what she's learned, learning, sweets, makizushi, being with friends.
Loathes: Spicy foods, bullies, those who hurt her friends, hypocrites, being bored, romance novels, unwanted attention.
Secrets: GoGo had a twin brother, Riku, who was extremely talented at creative writing. The two were very close, despite the Curse, and were rarely seen far from each other. The two were even working on a manga series together; he did the story and she did the art. But Riku had been born with a heart condition and died from it three years ago. None of the friends she has now know about him...they all think she's an only child. They also don't know that the manga 'Ikiru' by the pair Shiroi Buta and Kuroi Buta, which only reached volume 4, was drawn by GoGo. 'Ikiru' was stopped after Riku died. She also searches for a way to break the Curse.
Extra: GoGo almost always carries a sketchbook or sketchpad with a pencilcase in her purse.
History: GoGo had a fairly...average...childhood for a cursed Sohma. Her twin brother knew about her curse, as did her father, but they had no problems with it. Born to a Sohma mother and an English father who believed in the paranormal and dealt with it for a living, she was well cared for, and at least semi-understood. Her father, the paranormal investigator, often took her and her twin with him on less 'scary' assignments, knowing Riku's heart would have issues with the scarier things. She went to a normal school easily enough, since the bullies tended to avoid the girl who stood up to them so easily, and she and her brother made it a habit of isolating themselves in their own world except for a few select people.

When middle school came, she experienced her first crush...and it was literally that. Because of the Curse, she knew she could never say anything, and her heart was crushed. Riku always did his best to soothe her when she fell again and realized the Curse prevented everything...over and over. And yet she never gave up. In fact, while they were working on 'Ikiru' during their thirteenth year of life, they were also searching for a way to break the Curse. Then came their fifteenth birthday. Something happened...GoGo can't quite remember well enough...Another one of her Dad's assignments, a man in black...a knife...She knows her brother took a hit for her, one that shouldn't have been fatal...but his heart ended up speeding up too much. Riku died the next day. Since then, GoGo has been even more determined to stay cheerful and not show her feelings...something that worries her parents greatly. Thinking she might be better off living with the other Cursed, they finally gave her to the Main House. Though they still spend time with her on weekends, she misses them dearly. Despite that, she's adjusted fairly well to life among the others at the Main House, and is somewhat happy there are others like her...finally someone understands.
