FIRST IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL: Sei manifests as a petite young woman whose huge personality and sense of style more than makes up for what she lacks in height. She's 157cm tall, though she might seem taller than she is at first glance thanks to the big platform geta she wears. Her hair is a big, colorful explosion of slate black, struck through with bright red and blue and pulled up into a pair of enormously volumes pigtails, with a pair of blunt-cut bangs in a split color of blue, black and red framing her face. Fashion wise, she wears and trendy and elaborate outfit based on a modern day sailor uniform, styled in a blend of eye-catching decora and Harajuku fashion with elements of traditional Japanese styles and iconography mixed in.
AURAL: Chatty, theatrical and energetic. Her speech is shot through with slangy, 'trendy' turns of phase and she likes to refer to people with affectionate nicknames, regardless of their actual levels of closeness. She speaks pretty quickly and a bit dramatically, and likes to overemphasize her words or throw around her pitch and tone of voice to hammer in a point or otherwise pop a good punchline. Japanese characters will be able to hear that she uses what's considered a lot of typical "trendy high school girl" slang, and uses the deliberately exaggeratedly cutesy "atashi-chan" as a first-person pronoun more often than not. Her voice actress is Ai Fairouz and a sample of that can be found here.
OLFACTORY: Perfume and scented cosmetics.
DEMEANOUR: A chaotic little gremlin!! Sei is exceptionally extroverted, playful and energetic at basically every waking moment of the day. She's as immediately comfortably friendly with strangers as she is with friends, which can occasionally lead her to be more forward or pushy than she means to be. She's sometimes described as "catlike" in that her moods are fickle – she can go from laughing her guts out to sulking or grinding her teeth in frustration then right back to joyful all at the snap of a finger, which can make her a little hard to predict. Her carefree, happy-go-lucky nature can also make her come across as a bit of an airhead and she doesn't always treat things with the sort of gravity they call for, but she generally has her heart in the right place.

IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Absolutely yes!! Sei's a friendly, touchy-feely kind of girl so she'll probably hop to this first before anyone else gets a chance.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: You're free to try, but she puts up a fight! As an Archer-class Servant, Sei's extremely strong and though she dislikes fighting, she'll defend herself if attacked. A regular human probably couldn't take her out but if your character is superpowered in some way, hit me up and we'll talk it out!
RELATIONSHIPS & SHIP PREFS: Crosscanon friendships are everything to me!! I'll happily tag characters from any canon or medium and Sei's a really good icebreaker for shy/withdrawn characters who might need to be pushed (or dragged.....) into things. As for shippy stuff, I play Sei as a lesbian so I am only interested in F/F ships for her! That said, she's still pretty hung up on the person she loved in life, so it might be slow going but if you're really determined to romance her, go wild!!
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Hit me up and let's discuss it!
MAGICAL INFORMATION: Characters with magical sensory abilities will be able to pick up that Sei is basically the end result of someone putting a shitton of magic and the spirit of a long-dead person into a blender and pouring that concoction into a magic-fuelled container. It's important to note that she does not ping as 'undead', but something closer to a spirit or ghost that happens to exist in tangible form.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Nothing of note, besides the fact that she doesn't physically need to eat, sleep, etc (though it helps her get by and she enjoys it, so she does) and that she heals much faster and is a great deal stronger and studier than a normal human might be/
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Nothing of note, but Sei's personality and outlook on life is strongly influenced by the death of a loved one and while she doesn't talk about it a lot, it still has the potential to come up if you get CR with her – please let me know if you'd prefer to avoid mentions of it!
OTHER NOTES: While I refer to her as 'Sei' OOCly and in action tags for consistency's sake, the name Sei prefers to be referred to ICly is 'Nagiko' and she'll introduce herself as such but don't sweat it too hard about sticking to either name in OOC discussion yourself LOL

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGGING: Absolutely! It's how I do most of my threading.
THREADHOPPING: I LOVE... THREADJACKING!!! All I ask if that there's something serious and plotty going on that you please ask me first.
FOURTHWALLING: Mild fourth-wall leaning is fine (commenting ICly on jamjar/DWRP game mechanics & conventions, etc), full fourth wall breakage and canon puncturing ("surprise, you're fictional") is a no. That said, given the nature of Sei as a character, I am absolutely fine with and strongly encourage people to recognize her as and refer to the actual historical Sei Shounagon.
