Shizuku Morinaga's Questionnaire

1. What town or city do you live in? Why do you live there instead of anywhere else? Describe your home.

Link Answered before Shizuku Morinaga's first Contract.

An modern luxury apartment complex, in Tokyo akihabara ward, owned by her parents gave her. She is an otaku at heart and loves akihabara, it's her home town.

Shinjuku is too stuffy and shibuya is too busy with reajuu for her liking. 

It has four bedrooms, a full bathroom, A fully stocked kitchen, and an office and library. 

 

When in america and not in akihabara as an american citizen,  she lives in a mansion outside Boston, which has a pool, tennis court, garage with multiple cars, a large library and a large master bedroom. a full kitchen. A cinema, gym and office, 10 full ensuite rooms She likes to live there because it is a city filled with universities and colleges of esteem. which means easy access to knowledge.

2. How do you get your money right now? What do you spend it on?

Link Answered before Shizuku Morinaga's first Contract.

A mixture of ways, she was born into the Morinaga zaibatsu an exceedingly wealthy family run company, she didn't want for anything, her parents spoilt her quite a lot and not many outside the family would say no to her, and while this would normally create a spoilt brat all it did was cause her to be so very bored, school didn't challenge and nor has college or university. she would work at the university to pass the time and do something productive but in the end that left her unfulfilled despite multiple patents and the manufacture of those patents gave her more money. it wasn't until she had discovered japanese manga, light novels and anime. being sheltered this new interest blossomed into a full time obsession which most of her money goes into outside of living expenses of course, she's obsessed not stupid. and that was when she decided that in order to brighten up her world she needed magic and or a portal to another world. 

3. Describe your Ambition. What are you striving for? How far would you go to achieve this? Would you kill for it? How close to death would you come for it?

Link Answered before Shizuku Morinaga's first Contract.

She wants magic, to become magic to control it to rip wide the veil and learn how to use all magic. to become the most powerful and pinnacle of magic. to drag it fully into the world, and reach such heights as immortality and goddesshood. she also wants to be a cat girl or a kitsune girl, or maybe an elf girl. it doesn't matter as long as it affords her more magic and more time to learn more of it. her ultimate goal to become the grandest of great sages. Her life was boring and she will kill to avoid going back to that boring life. money can't buy magic but it can help me get it. I'd sooner die before I return to normalcy.

4. What was the most defining event of your life (before signing The Contract), and how did it change you?

Link Answered before Shizuku Morinaga's first Contract.

Coming into contact with japanese popular media opened up a huge gulf of possibility I hadn't even considered, I want magic, I want to be isekaid, i want an actual challenge, too often I found myself way ahead of everyone, put on a pedestal, the school idol. I really wanted to smash the faces of those smug girls who used to hang onto me as if i were a liferaft. too conceited by half and too worried about appearance, even though they were mediocre. it's honestly sad I might not have fallen into otaku culture and find my magic, if i had friends, then again it might have happened faster. for that they earned my enmity and I am glad that i nipped it in the bud in college being ahead multiple grades it's helpful i guess. 

5. Name and briefly describe three people in your life. One must be the person you are closest to.

Link Answered before Shizuku Morinaga's first Contract.

Mother: Misaki Morinaga (written 森長美咲)

Father: Yuu Morinaga (written 森長優)

friend: Chiba Yuka (written 千葉由華)

Misaki Morinaga the wife of Yuu Morinaga, she is bright and cheerful. She is a patient and kind woman. Misaki spent her days studying sciences as her majors and had several electives including the occult, technology and creative writing. She met Yuu during her final year of University and the two hit it off right away. A year later they were married, and another year later they had Shizuku. 

Yuu Morinaga a scion of the ancient noble zaibatsu family was a transfer student to the university that Misaki attended, he is an outgoing man, get's along with anyone. He fawns and dots on his only daughter. the majors he took were technology and sciences, and his electives were creative writing, occult and business studies.

Yuka Chiba, Shizuku's friend and confidant. a fellow student of Tokyo U she is the person who introduced Shizuku to manga, light novels and anime. an otaku and some would say a Yuri fujoshi, she never asked Shizuku for money, nor did she request aid in studying only staying beside her and treating her like any other girl. 

She was doing a major in creative writing, with electives of the occult, science and cultural studies. She also took Home economics, her explanation was she wanted to be the perfect wife to the girlfriend she wanted.

6. How was your childhood? Who were your parents? What were they like? Did you attend school? If so, did you fit in? If not, why not?

Link Answered after Contract 1,

My childhood was filled with luxury, I didn't want for anything and my parents would always make sure I was raised right, my dad Yuu taught me about business and finance. My mother Misaki taught me how to cook and navigate politics and intrigue. She also taught me about the occult and various creative outlets (art and creative writing). Meanwhile I worked on my studies in my local school in akihabara. I went to public schools as my parents wanted me to connect to the normal people so I would know how lucky I am. I didn't particularly fit in, sure i was the school idol, sure I was a genius school was so easy it was sad, I had to add to my own homework, so I would still improve. 

 

I met Chiba Yuuka, as a child she has been my best nay only friend and my confidant. She introduced me to manga, light novels and anime.

7. Have you ever been in love? With who? What happened? If not, why not?

Link Answered after Contract 1,

Yes I have been in love, still am. I don't know if she returns my feelings. Never got the courage in order to actually confess. I am scared that it may destroy our friendship. She isn't straight atleast she's bi so it's not like she couldn't be attracted to me. But maybe i am just a dense romantic comedy protagonist. I doubt she will find me attractive after what my gift did to me, or maybe she will be all over me as I am unique. (Maybe I am just coping) Well we'll find out when we meet her again. 

8. What are your worst fears? Why?

My worst fear? I am scared of one thing monster hunters and by extension religious zealots. Those self righteous freaks that kill things because they are different and not human or human in the traditional sense. and it's built on an irrational fear. I am well known, if hunters find out i exist they will hunt me down like a dog. I will prepare for them, I will kill any who attack me and my friends and family. I fear them for their potential harm to those i care about. If that means I have to become the monster they fear so be it. I wouldn't let those fools decide my fate or the fate of my loved ones or friends. I won't attack first, I will only react while that is a tennable tactic. 

if that becomes untennable i will hunt them down and destroy them. I am not a fool or a bleeding heart, if they make an enemy of me they will regret it.  They will start the war I will end it No mercy for the evil and savages.  no mercy for the religious zealots, and no mercy for the bandits.  They are all fair game.

9. What is (are) your most prized possession(s)? What makes it (them) so special?

My most prized possessions are my manga, video game and light novel collections, (I would include my friends but they aren't my possessions) my tails, ears and wings. despite that alienating myself from humanity. I am most certainly quite attached to them.  to me they are important markers of my powers and floofy pride. They are a reminder of the world I could create in the future free from prejudice and fear. free from prejudice or human and racial supremecy. If I have to enforce that future I need power and longevity. My possessions show me the potential road blocks, the potential enemies and what I will have to do to secure it. Were it that i didn't need to do this, if only humans actually weren't so hateful and divisive. 

still I have hope for this world if not that then I can leave it behind and start in another world free from the prejudice in excess or the stupid religions.

10. What is the biggest problem in your life right now?

Link Answered after Contract 3, To Russia With Love

Honestly right now finding clothes that fit me after my new limbs came in. multiple tails a pair of wings fox ears on my head geeze it is a mess to keep up with. I have had to have our fashion division make me and those like me new clothes and new products. I am also worried that the three of us, that is me, hawk and keiko. will be enough. I wonder which harbinger we are getting this time. please don't be the vampire lady she gave me a headache, multiple ones. well I can atleast I can be grateful that i met Keiko. it's going slow but I wouldn't have it any other way. those cute innocent eyes. those fluffy tails. this cute innocence. I can't get enough. especially her cute squeaks.  Where ever I end up I am taking her with me. She makes the problems less problematic, at least more tolerable i guess.

11. Describe a typical morning. How do you get ready to face the world?

Link Answered after Contract 3, To Russia With Love

I get up  shower, brush my teeth, dry myself off, choose my outfoot, and put on my clothes, then I put on my makeup and accessories. I then proceed to gather my gear including my staff. anything else depends on the itinary for the day. I always need to be ready for contracts, other than that not much else to do really, if I am not just at home then I am at high school, and prepping for college. I have to be ready for whatever I want in the future. sometimes I go out with chiba yuuka wether that's shopping or going to conventions like comiket. Other days i am lounging in my apartment playing games or watching anime, or reading manga and light novels. The day's when you don't have much to do are the best and that's what i think is perfect. at least in the modern world. seeing as there is nothing to explore really. 

12. If you were going somewhere special that you wanted to look your best for, what would you do to prepare? What would you wear? How long would it take you to get ready?

Link Answered after Contract 4, Sanctuary

I would buy a new outfit a nice black or red dress either gothic lolita of lbd, new jewelry. cute ribbons for my tails and find some wing and furcare products in order to keep my tails and wings in pristine condition. I will then bath and clean myself up. put on make up and perfume, put on the outfit and accessories. Book a limo, pick up my purse and put on some sexy heels. 

it would take a long time so I would start well in advance before the actual date/event/ occassion. not much else to say really. it would take a couple of hours to get ready at minimum. 

maybe wear some sexy lingerie if i feel like i'll be getting lucky. some thigh high socks matched to the dress. not really a lot else to talk about. maybe one day I'll wear something for Yuka and Keiko chan. 

13. What will you do for your next birthday?

Link Answered after Contract 4, Sanctuary

I would have a party made up with close family and friends. enjoy the presents I would receive or buy for myself. then I would drink and laugh and party till morning. and probably embarress cute little Keiko chan, while hugging her. my birthday this year will, I hope a big happy one where I get to enjoy celebrating with those I care about maybe kareoke and stuff, maybe a trip outside clubbing and bar hopping. showing everyone a great time. 

not much else to it im afraid, I could rent out a movie theater, a restuarant and many other things. so long as they are happy.

14. What is your greatest regret?

Link Answered after Contract 5, Passing the Hours

my greatest regret well that is the fact that I have so few friends. sure I have aquaintences, sure I have people I can contact. I got sycophants, I don't have lots of friends, not real friends, Chiba yuuka is a my true friend. might be the only person to understand me, not be scared of me or even  what i am turning into. keiko and huck are different in that they have had much the same experiences. and now keiko is some kind of cyborg furry. That's going to be awkward to deal with, I have no clue how our relationship will evolve or devolve. So yeah my lack of relationships is perhaps my greatest regret. Maybe that will change in the future maybe it wont who can know, not me. not yet My overall goal remains the same though so maybe I can improve my magic abilities. in the future.

15. What is the nature of your Gifts? Are they inherent potential? Do harbingers just grant your wishes?

Link Answered after Contract 5, Passing the Hours

Honestly have absolutely no clue it seems like they just give me a vague idea and I customise it so that it meets my needs. not much else really to say. are the harbingers granting wishes no they aren't if they granted wishes there'd be more choices unfortunately that hasn't been the case, it's extensive but it's broad category templates that you customise and squeeze into what you want. It's annoying cause you have to deal with the limitations of the harbingers. it's like they removed all creativity or made it so the actually useful things are hidden behind the higher ranks. like recently just got armor. it didn't have a lot of options to it sadly. 

 

I hope someday the options are more expansive and more customizable with more flaws that are useful or impactful or a fairer trade because some of the enhancements are not worth the flaws that are available.
