Miwako is a bubbly, deeply sensitive, creative and stylish young woman. Sheβs a senior high school student at Yazawa School of the Arts in Tokyo, where she studies fashion design. Though her older sister, whom she admires more than anyone in the world, is a bold and successful fashion designer whoβs been a standout visionary all her life, Miwako is far more passive and feels she lacks the originality to start her own clothing brand like her sister did. She instead eagerly sews clothes designed by her friend and classmate George, who is a natural genius like Miwakoβs sister. Together with Georgeβs ladylike pattern-maker best friend Isabella, Miwakoβs punk long-time boyfriend Arashi, and their passionate aspiring model
In Avalon, her own dreams are coming true slowly but surely, given a pedestal and window of opportunity she was never able to reach for at home. Without Mikako's designs as a mirror on the market beside hers, Miwako's designs can shine on their own. Her problem is not that she's bad at designing; it's that her designs look like copycats of her sister's style by unconscious nature, which would shoot Miwako in the foot as a designer competing with her idol. Here? There is no Happy Berry to compete with. Mikako's designs are good and Happy Berry is a success back home. If Miwako's designs are natural mirrors to Mikako's... then here, she can succeed, living outside her sister's shadow for the first time in her life. She can be her own person, make her own art, and start her own brand β and will never hear the name "Kouda Mikako" brought up unless she brings it up herself. Which she will β often, and enthusiastically β but with a new brand of vigor. Happy Berry is no longer a dream to admire, but an example to follow.

[ She's a nosy person but even she can tell where there are lines drawn not to cross. This is a work concern, not a personal one, for their purposes. It's none of her business, and even if it were β indeed, surely nothing pleasant to discuss over bubble tea at a cafe casually. If he wanted her to know, he'd tell her. But even then... stories of unsightly scars, she's not even certain she'd want to know. ]

[Gokudera has one smoking skull tattoo that moves about and chatters, speech bubbles occasionally accompany it that read out embarrassing things about him. It was on his bicep this morning, but it isn't there anymore. Hm, it isn't always visible, but it is in his hair, peeking out just behind his ear so that it's upside down and all that can be seen is the smoke trail coming off the top, and the eye sockets that make it look like it's peeking out.]
It moves around sometimes. I don't know where it is.
no subject
[ She does not care that they're in public. You find that tattoo, Bingo-kun. Miwako frantically reaches into her bag and pulls out a (surprise, sparkly Happy Berry-shaped) compact mirror, handing it to him across the table should he need it. They're doing this right here, right now, apparently. She's over the moon delighted by this information. Nosy girl. ]
no subject
Should I go to the bathroom?
[Maybe it is on his back, or his thigh? Or the back of an arm or something. It could even be on the bottom of his foot. He has no clue. This feels like the wrong sort of situation for him to be strip-searching in the name of finding a magic, permanent tattoo.]
no subject
But I wanna see it someday! [ She adds with gusto, hoping it might appear at some point in the conversation somehow. She's thrilled at this idea. ]
How'd you get it done?! Are all tattoos here magic? Miwako doesn't have any tattoos, just piercings!
no subject
[He's got no problem showing her, but it's definitely not in a spot either of them can see right now. Gokudera hands her mirror back.]
There was a magic tournament. Before it, there was a lot of food and it was almost like a big festival. There was face painting and actual tattoos that were magic. It's almost like they drew it on me and the ink was magic or something? I didn't ask. I just assumed it was magic and left it at that. Are your piercings only in your ears?
no subject
[ Her mind is already running away with the ideas, and she sips her tea happily. ]
Nope! Miwako's belly-button is pierced, too. I pierced my nipple once when I was younger, but it fell out... ...Doesn't seem like there's a point to do it again without someone to appreciate it here, though, huh~ Hah...
[ So casual talking about sexy things again, oy... ]
Ara has lots of piercings, himself, though~ Way more than me. And tattoos! But he didn't get those til he was older. Hee, Risa pierced his eyebrow herself when we were likeβ seven or eight! Ha!
[ So the piercing in the childhood photo was real after all, oh god! These people! Truly a kid raised by punks, it's in his blood! ]
no subject
Mnn I've got my ears pierced and nothing else. [He knew people were getting piercings that were much more risky on Amoi because well... they could be appreciated? Gokudera just knew that his older self had pierced ears, so he headed off that decision as soon as the opportunity presented itself.]
That's so young!
no subject
[ Miwako's the devil's advocate here... ]
Oh, yay, your ears are pierced now~? We can play with that, hehe~
[ Her new doll may have new scars, but he can wear even more jewelry now, so she's all about that. ]
Heheh, if you could see Risa and Takeshi, you'd understand~ They're good parents, don't worry. Ara's very well-adjusted. He just looks wild! Always has~ At least he doesn't wear a lil fluffy tail on his belt anymore, ehehe~!
[ He absolutely did when they were young. He went through a big phase idolizing Doraemon the cat... ]
no subject
[Gokudera reaches a hand to his ear, and the piercing doesn't hurt, but then, he's never bothered to mess with the jewelry Iskandar gave him.]
Oh, okay. As long as it isn't too big... [Watch him cave though. If Miwako wants him to wear massive dangling earrings, she need only present them to him with an outfit, and he'll become a doormat.]
no subject
Do you have only one hole in each lobe? Both ears? Miwako loves earrings with thin chains that connect to each other... Looks so elegant but tough! Like, sometimes I'll wear one on my cartilage that's connected to my lobe. Arashi likes to wear a chain that connects his earrings to his lipring, too! But we needn't go that far, nee~ That's him, not you.
no subject
Hm? yeah. Just the ear lobes.
[He turns his head and tucks his silver hair behind one ear to show off the gold and ruby stud placed in his lobe.]
I had Iskandar pick these out for me...
[Gokudera starts thinking about that lover of his, and he's even more lonely. His thumb rubs over the gem and he sighs.]
no subject
[ She says it a little funny. Miwako tilts her head curiously, admiring the earring at first, but something in the distant look about him when he brings up the odd name (but fun-sounding, to her ears!) sets her immediately wondering if that were a lover he'd had in this bizarre interim period he'd experienced abroad... Double, triple, quadruple-abroad, from being spirited away from being spirited away already! She can't fully fathom and there's a part of her brain that's shut itself off (there aren't too many spare parts to shut off, oh no!) since being here when it comes to trying to make sense of the fantastical like that. Just accept it at face value and don't deconstruct it too much... ]
no subject
[Said with the dreamiest expression. Gokudera is remembering fondly, and is glad that Takeshi can't see this. He'd feel bad. But for now, while he's in a relationship that is off-limits, it can't be too remiss for him to look back on past lovers.]
He was a very supportive friend of mine. [His face flushes gently and he lets his hair go so it swings back over to hide his decorated little ear.]
no subject
[ She can read that expression. She's worn it enough times thinking about Hiroyuki. She's eager for the tea, and not her strawberry-rose bubble tea, either...! ]
no subject
Feels like we kind of skipped that. He was a spirit, and could go through walls and doors and be summoned if I called his name loud enough. There was a time once he came to see me when I finally got to live with an Elite, but uh... that wasn't allowed and I was punished. You could say it was a forbidden romance or that my uh, roommate was possessive of me and when he caught us together, he suddenly would not let me go and... it was a very bad relationship.
[Gokudera hasn't explained to her about him being a pet and isn't sure if he should. Or what the best way to explain around that would be.]
no subject
[ Oh, her head is spinning from the drama blast. She doesn't fully understand, but she's certain she wants to hear more enough at least to try, she's practically got stars in her eyes! What a transformation! ]
I-I'm sorry it ended that way, that sounds hardβ I can kind of understand that part of it, maybe... But it's all so far out, you have to excuse me! You grew up a lot in three years, huh! A demi-god! And a volleyball player!
[ Why's the volleyball player stand out against a spirit king and a demi-god... ]
no subject
I only dated the demi-god. He wanted more out of me than I could give him, I think. We would fight all the time...
[Disagree, more like it. They saw eye-to-eye on a lot, but Percy had a lot of hang-ups regarding his virginity, and held it with such value that it made Gokudera feel disgusting by comparison.]
Hard not to grow up when it's forced on you like that...
no subject
[ She's drastically misunderstanding the context of the worlds he lived in, without these details, and so inadvertently... reveals a big truth bomb of her own. So casually. But her face shows some soft mixture of empathy and concern and shock. ]
no subject
The world I was in... It was very focused on sex. So something like that lost it's meaning very quickly and the more I did it, the less I grew to love anyone. But there are some people, like Iskandar I hold very dear, and of course... after that world, I met my fiance... the version of him I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
[Gokudera smiles, explaining and yet coming right back to how lucky he is, even if the circumstances are sad.]
no subject
[ And a thought occurs to her, drawing a concerned expression on her face. ]
What about here? Are you gonna stay true to your Takeshi? Even though he's not hereβ not that version of him...?
no subject
[He sighs and gives a small shrug. Oh well, it was not meant to be.]
I plan to. I'm still wearing his ring, after all, and this collar. I just don't know how I want to bring it up with him, or even if I should. It's worth the heartache to see him happy, but I know he would be upset that I'm keeping this from him... that he is inadvertently at fault.
But I love him. I will wait for him, since he would do the same for me.
[Even though his Takeshi had never been on a world like Amoi.]
no subject
[ She protests against Percy's perspective for obvious personal reasons. All of what Gokudera is so much more amplified, but somehow strikes many chords close to home for her, too. ]
Won't it be hard for you? If you went from having lots of sex, to no sex... You think you'll resist temptation here?
[ She's also asking this for obvious personal reasons. She's dying of thirst. π₯ ]
