The comment character limit on dreamwidth is 16,000 characters so apps no longer need to be split into multiple comments; however this is at players' discretion.
Please use the form below and post your application in comments rather than linking if you can. If you have any questions, feel free to ask either of the mods. You can reach us through emails, IMs, or PMs.
A reminder for those waiting to hear back, please don't be worried if we skip yours while going through them. It only means we needed a little more time to research!

Character
Name: Chika Ito
Series: Strawberry Marshmallow
Timeline: post anime.
Canon Resource Links: secretly she's the cutest one.
Personality:
Her sister, in the first episode, describes Chika in a way she feels is perfect: Generic. In many ways, Chika is just that; an average 12 year old girl. She makes good but not outstanding marks in school, is of average height and weight, and doesn't get into trouble often. She's a good kid, very relaxed and laid back, as well as mature. Her friend, Miu, often chides her for 'acting like an adult'. In the end, though, it'd be easy to find other girls like Chika anywhere.
There is one thing that sets her apart, however, and that is her ability to be patient with her childhood friend Miu. Miu is.. a problem child, to say the least, always hyper and really odd. Chika is somehow able to put up with it in a tenacious and almost ignoring way. Typically, Miu's rude and weird comments don't affect Chika. After about ten years of putting up with her, she's learned that most of the time it's not anything too important or insightful. Still, there are times when Chika can let Miu get to her, such as the time Miu told her she was getting chubby. Like any normal girl would, Chika began to become paranoid about her weight for a while, until her sister made her realize it was just her getting taller. Other times, Miu can make her exceedingly angry, to the point where she reacts violently. Sometimes violence is the only answer when it comes to Miu.
Chika is very responsible, way more so than her older, 20 year old sister, Nobue. Often times, Nobue will even take Chika's money to feed her smoking habit, a trait that Chika openly chides her for. Chika's room is well kept and she always makes sure to pack light, but be prepared for anything. She is definitely the most well rounded out of her group of friends, and tends to be the 'voice of reason' among them, considering all of them have their moments of outlandishness. Miu often refers to her as the 'straight man'.
She is also very caring about her friends, even if sometimes she doesn't show it. She is concerned about her sister when she is unable to get a job, openly feels bad for Ana when Miu makes fun of her for her name. She tries her best to accommodate her friends and be the best one she can be, but obviously, being 12, it is sometimes impossible.
Chika, too, can have her moments of childishness; she often gets into playful spats with Miu, especially when she gets mad at the other. She wouldn't admit it, but she does think Miu is funny, and enjoys the antics they get into sometimes. She is also shown to be very creative, making an ash tray for her sister, and is an avid lover of music of all types.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+ Intelligent and Intuitive
+ Patient enough to deal with Miu
+ Down to earth and well-grounded
+ Mature for her age
- Can be a pushover with Miu and her sister
- When her patience is lost, she deals with it violently
- Average with no defining characteristics

Samples
First Person Sample:
Um, hello? Does this.. phone thing work? The red light is, so I guess it does - I'm not really sure who I'm talking to, though.
[ Chika taps the screen, blinks, and holds it out to show her face. ]
If anyone can hear me, can you send me a message back? It's probably too much to ask where the nearest bus stop to Japan is.. But could you at least tell me if there's any way home? At all? This is all a little confusing.. [ Chika's Igglybuff bounces into her hands. ] U-Uwah! Er, can you tell me what this thing is supposed to be, too? It keeps following me around, and some weird scientist gave it to me.. I think it thinks I'm it's mom, or something. It's cute, but.. I already have a dog.
Third Person Sample:
Chika was never a fan of walking. So when she discovered the nearest town was a few days away, she mentally asked herself if the town she was in wasn't good enough to settle into. Of course, she knew that it wasn't. She had to keep moving. She's not sure if the town people would tolerate her living there, considering how small of a community it was.
Still, she could not muster up the energy to continue. Every time she got near the entrance of Route 29, she'd stand near it for a while, staring it down as if it was a great adversary. Her Igglybuff was especially concerned about her master's mental state. After a while, Chika would just laugh, wave her hand, and go back.
Finally, the next day, she decided to go. Walking along the path, she kicked a few rocks at her feet and didn't bother to look up. Her Igglybuff ran energetically ahead, the tuft of hair on the top of it's head bouncing along with her. Chika moaned, wondering how the little thing could have so much energy..
After what seemed like ages, Chika wiped her forehead, sat down, and took a bottle of water out of her bag. Her Igglybuff was already farther ahead of her, so after a while, she turned to look and see where her master had gone. Once she was spotted, she hopped on over and sat in her lap. Chika finally looked up, proud of herself for making so much progress, when she looked to where she'd came from..
"O-Only that far?!" Yes, the town of New Bark was only about fifty yards away. Chika sighed. She had a long way to go.
