Name: Sharon Langston Anderson
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Occupation: Not in Education, Employment, or Training
Face Claim: Anastasia from Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls
Appearance: At a nice and even 5'6”, Sharon is glad that she ended up at an average size, not too short and not too tall. Most outfits are designed to emphasize her slight figure. She is very adamant about always wearing some sort of jacket or long sleeved shirt, even at the pool. The last time anyone saw her upper arms was a year ago.
Skills: Swimming: Ever since she learned how to swim, she has spent a lot of time in the water. It's safe to say that each summer she spends more time at the beach than at home.
Exceptional Memory: Sharon is good at remembering facts about all the people she meets. Even details they don't remember telling her about are somehow stored in her brain.
Cyclist: Sharon has been riding around Emerald City for years with her old touring bike. She knows how to get places without going too fast, but does so anyway because it's more fun to feel the wind blow through her hair.
Occult Studies: From an early age, she's always been fascinated by all the strange and wonderful things that may or may not have really happened. She doesn't try to work it into every conversation (anymore), but she knows a lot about the paranormal
Drumming: While she never owned her own drum set, Sharon ended up taking weekly lessons all throughout middle school. Even now she often taps along to any song playing on the radio.
Personality: Sharon spends most of time trying to find new ways of having fun, and is not very discriminating with regards to how that happens. She likes the freedom of not having responsibility. If a complete stranger walked up and started a friendly conversation, she'd respond in the same easygoing manner. To her, life is all about hanging out with friends and making connections. There's a constant need to be around positive people. Silence is the enemy: as along long as she doesn't have to sit alone with her thoughts for too long, she's probably having a good time. Maybe.
With how open she is with her emotions, it is not entirely obvious when Sharon is seriously upset, or just exaggerating because overreacting would be more fun. Making a good joke is more important than being honest all the time. As much as she avoids being serious, it's not impossible. One of the best parts about never planning for the future is how it leaves room for interruptions without canceling anything. Sharon would gladly give up her time in order to make sure her friends are alright.
Not that anyone ever gives her a chance to help out. Those who know her well have learned to keep away from telling her about actual problems they are facing. She has a tendency to assume the worst is going to happen, and gets very overprotective towards people she knows. Sharon would want to involve herself into situations that have nothing to do with her and try to solve everything, even when she can't. Trying and failing is seen as being better than not helping at all.
There's no easy way to get her to back off. Rejection isn't something she's used to dealing with very well. Sharon tries to act like she isn't bothered, but usually ends up holding a grudge for a while afterwards. This feeling of uselessness goes against everything she stands for. To her, concepts like good and evil are all relative—anything that helps her is good and anything that gets in her way is bad. Not helping a friend in need is the same as actively hurting them, and that's not okay.
