"I am a free woman first, a mother last."
• Name :: Shinju Mizushima.
• Nickname(s) :: N/A.
• Birthday :: June 22nd.
• Age :: Thirty-seven.
• Gender :: Female.
• Sexuality :: Straight.
• Physical Description :: Shinju is rounded and slightly plump, with evident love handles and medium biceps, thighs and bosom. Her skin is an wash of paleness reflecting a healthy glow. She is a strawberry brunette with hair that is a frothy mess of curls that falls to about mid-back. Rarely does she clip it up. Her eyes are wide and lively in a medium shade of turquoise blue. They are arched due to her Japanese heritage.
• Fashion :: Her daily outfit usually consists of long skirts and comfortable, casual but businessesque collared shirts. Outside her company walls, she dresses more fashionably. She typically sports expensive but simple styled dresses and accessorizes minimally with jewelery from her line. A majority of the time she sports her pearl products (her least popular items) in attempts to raise their sales, but it is not odd to see her wear several silver rings or a chain around her neck either. Shinju can also be seen bouncing around town in a sunny, yellow sunflower dress. This is typically worn on her off days.
• Family :: Arashi Mizushima (father; deceased), Sango Mizushima (mother; deceased), Umiko Mizushima (twin sister), Shinju Mizushima (daughter).
• Likes :: Pearls, sweets, her company, designing, jewelery, social gatherings, attention, money, sex.
• Dislikes :: Being ignored, loud noises, cramps, her daughter, competition, feeling inferior, tangled hair, tomato soup, guilt.
• Personality :: Shinju has no fear of what exists beyond the horizon of those questionable and unknown to human knowledge. If given the chance, this firecracker will burst through with great elation to discover an answer unknown to herself. This has made her a philomath, as her seeking for knowledge is overcome by the amount of questions she asks herself. She misses school greatly even though she chose to drop out after her second year to take charge of her father's company. This curiosity even stems over to her social talents. Shinju adores learning things from people, curious what makes them who they are. She embraces her social curiousness openly. It is one of her greatest respects as a person, as her natural ability to uncover information helps with the promotion of business.
Shinju is an avid conversationalist and great entertainer. Living in the higher economic class of Japan makes it an almost requirement one know how to entertain their guests. Due to this, anyone amidst the young woman's company is bathed in galore as they are treated by the best of the best. There is never a dull moment with this diamond and the glimmer of shining fun is always evident. It is by this single factor Shinju has connected with much of her prime -- most of the upper class know never to deny a chance at extravagant food or wine. It is by this, unfortunately, Shinju also has tight connections with leading people of business. She seems to care not however, as the glamorous first impression eases her closer to full success of SHELL. Yet, even to those of middle class or lower are showered in lovely moments and gifts. Constantly used to the days of trying to impress, Shinju always tries her best to sprinkle the sugar.
In order to run a company, be it larger than life or as small as a pearl, one must have a good noggin upon their shoulders. Shinju had always aspired to be like her father when she was a child. Since young, she has spent her days sneaking ears into company meetings and mimicking from her father's leadership. School children (especially rebellious boys) were never fond of her taking charge, but it has been quite the tip all her life. Now that she has inherited her father's company, she shines brighter than our Sol with her careful choices and leadership. Her company has been brimming with success thanks to her palm.
Shinju's smile is like injecting a sweet, syrupy drug directly into the bloodstream. It is forever quick to bloom and slow to fade, spreading across her lovely lips like afternoon sun. Even when there is a saddening matter bringing her down, she is capable of relieving herself with a light smile. Unlike her father who curled inside the confines of his office when depressed, Shinju has an incredible forbearance against sadness. Nothing ticks Shinju off more than a depressed mess stretching a tongue about to lick their own wounds. No, she won't be one to mend them for healing but she will prep the person to take care of the scraps themselves. Sorrows to misery cannot steal away her joys of life, the barricade known as a brawny bosom keeping them at bay.
When Shinju has a task tightened in her mind, she does whatever it takes to get what she wants. Her determination is unshakeable and she remains a huffy piece of work to shy away when she makes a choice. Shinju still has dreams -- some possible, some not -- but will use any means necessary to achieve them. She has been known to crack down on people who become obstacles in her path to achieve success; some even bellow she is being unfair for roughing up the weaker people. Even so, she turns up a nose and retorts her adamant trait is justified and correct. Shinju is the absolute value of one -- one for the benefit of herself.
Honesty -- it can help or it can hurt. When it comes to dear Shinju, you better get used to the pain. She won't sugarcoat anything just to sweeten you up. Oh no, no. When she has something hurtful to say, she will never hold her tongue. She has grown up with a father whose tongue never knew less than a good lashing towards others. She has adopted this trait from him, never knowing that what she says is actually hurtful unless the other shows signs of it. However, her bluntness has caused her to lose great opportunities in the past. Offers towards her are retracted often for her simple expressing of a harsh opinion. She has been known to rebuke herself for what she says, but just cannot help it if something just so happens to slip out.
Shinju's success has lead to her rolling in the dough. Since her money trails seem endless, she has become quite careless with her expenses. Shinju sets stacks of paper to the four winds, casting them away in content handfuls. Everyday, money is pulled from her pocket as she visits spas, buys pretty name brand things, and honors compatriots at gourmet restaurants. The more expensive the item, the brighter the sparkling glitter of her eyes. Her tendency to spend is possibly the hardest vice she has to control. Unless she is pampering herself, Shinju notes she is not happy. Bills are usually turned in late and there are many times when Shinju nearly allowed her company to crash simply because money was a problem. Even though she manages time and time again to pull herself up from twisting ankles, she dives right back down some heavy expenses later. If happiness was really affiliated with green, she'd possibly be the most elated woman in all of Asia.
An added weakness for her large spending is her utter love to flaunt it. Shinju just adores the plentiful attention brought on from her expensive items. Her many riches also account for her many insults -- wealth is the underlying reason to any counterargument as she plays the trump, "Well, I can buy anything I want. Can you?" Her favorite item to garner attention is a large, blue sapphire she managed to snatch up from a jewelery firm rival who tried to stick his dingy in a certain place and failed. In payment to keep her lips shut and not start a scandal, Shinju obtained the pretty gem called "Julius' Tear". It has been shipped to museums nationwide (with her on its heels) to be presented to the public. It certainly has made a name for itself and Shinju just loves the compliments of people praising her for its cut and worth.
• Background :: Shinju's father, Arashi, is a native son of Japan's Okinawa, growing up in its capital Naha. Sango grew up in central Kyoto. As young adults, Arashi and Sango longed for fruitful lives away from their homes and family. Both happened upon Tokyo for different reasons; Arashi was attracted by the offer of carrying on his uncle's company and Sango dreamed of becoming a model after falling head over heels for urban fashion. Ending up in the so-called "City of Light" by chance opportunities, the two were attracted to each other at a bar when Arashi began to shamelessly hit on her through his half-drunken stupor. At first, Sango tried to ignore him. However, as she guzzled down the drinks and got buzzed, one thing led to another and they hit it off. They got along so well, actually, Arashi even managed to persuade Sango into bed the same night. Heck, he was so great, Arashi even managed to have her become his girlfriend.
A year and a half into their relationship, the two hurried from dating to marriage, and Sango bore Shinju and Umiko. Their marriage was rocky for a few years with Arashi pushing to make his jewelry firm popular and Sango trying to make it as a model. Eventually, when their attempts failed, both settled into simple lifestyles. Arashi worked with what profits he could make from his company and Sango dropped from the fashion world to become a typical housewife. When the twins turned eighteen, their parents died from a car accident brought on from a teen texting behind the wheel.
As a child growing up, Shinju was completely attached to her parents. She was absorbed by their constant attention to her and a strong bond was the fruition of their love. Shinju adored her father's sternness in the workforce the most and aspired to be just like him when she got older. His strong front became the foundation of who she is today. After both their deaths, Shinju mourned for a short period before raising her head and deciding she couldn't not allow her depression to continue. Their memories will always be in her heart, but she had to live her life to the fullest. Communication with other outside family (such as aunts, uncles, or cousins) is extremely rare. Maybe once or twice in the last five years she has communicated with her aunt, but that's pretty much it. Her extended family has pretty much forgotten her existence after her parents' death. Shinju stills holds a somewhat average relationship with her twin sister, Umiko. However, the two put their own lives first, and find an unconditional love for each other to be a penumbra and hindrance in accordance to their daily lives.
In an attempt to further her business's connections, Shinju tried to seduce and bed a rival cooperation's owner. Having rather good sales, she hoped to sneak a peek at the eventual designs to the new line that would emerge from his company. Unfortunately, the man seemed to catch on to her plan, and feigned interest in her as she guzzled down drinks. When she got wasted enough, he left, and she was escorted home by a different bar attendee. He were kind enough to hail her a taxi and lead her from the vehicle, into her home, and up into her bedroom. However, as she lost consciousness, he got his just reward.
Some time later, Shinju fell over ill during one of her meetings. After being rushed to the hospital, she was released with some dreadful news that she eventually relayed to her secretary, Liliah: She was pregnant. Finding out she had a babe in her womb shook her to her core. For the next few months, Shinju struggled heavily with many troubling thoughts. Yet, finding out who the father was was last on her list. Her main concern was what she would do with the infant. Shinju heavily considered abortion, but she knew the guilt would be rampant, as it would be if she gave it up for adoption. The CEO settled on just having it. Months later, Shinju had a girl, and due to lack of creativity, she named it after herself. She also doubled Liliah's pay by making her secretary her child's nanny, which the woman contentedly accepted.
Since then, Shinju has built strained relationship with her seven year old daughter. Due to her mother's constant concentration on her business, Shinju-two has been neglected on a daily basis since her birth. Her caretaker, Liliah, is seen more as a mother by the young child than her own biological one. Though Shinju-two is standoffish when in the presence of her mother, she cannot deny she does indeed care for her. During moments when the older woman feigns being a mommy is when Shinju adores her mother most. However, she cannot deny the feelings that she is actually unwanted by the older woman.
