Alright...so, plotting with Misaki. First things first, here's a link to her profile, in case you want to take a look at it and read about her. The short version is that she's a very shy and introverted girl, despises her own powers, and is afraid of men. She also suffers from a mental illness called Dyscalculia, which is very similar to the more well-known Dyslexia. The only difference here is that it affects her ability to work with numbers.
Friends
One look at her profile will be enough to tell that this girl needs a hug. Badly. Not only is she extremely shy and awkward, but she has abysmal self-confidence, and she's terrified of her own powers. It's worth noting that she's never had a friend before, so she's not really sure how to interact around others, especially if they take the initiative and try to make friends with her first. She's easily flustered, and has difficulty opening up to others, so anyone wishing to befriend her may need to be patient.
At the same time, however, she's eager to prove herself useful, and is always looking for ways to help others. This can go either way...either she turns out to be useful, or she makes a mess of things. Usually, she means well, but, sometimes, she simply gets in over her head. In addition to this, should she actually befriend someone, she's prone to being fairly clingy. After all, she's never experienced friendship before, and once she realizes just what it is she has, she's not going to be likely to want to let go of it anytime soon.
As mentioned above, she may require a bit of patience...still, few will find a more loyal trusting and friend. Unfortunately, she can be a little too trusting. As far as she can tell, anyone who actually treats her like a human being is a friend, as her parents basically went out of their way to treat her as though she was less than garbage. As such, she's also incredibly naive, and, unfortunately, prone to being easily manipulated. This isn't to say she'll cling to anyone who abuses her, but, so long as they aren't abusive, another woman will have little trouble making them into her personal slave.
Enemies
Misaki isn't really the type to think of anyone as an "enemy", but there are plenty of ways to get onto her bad side. For one, simply acting like a jerk to her will make her not like someone very much. There's also her dyscalculia. Understandably, it's a rather sore spot for her, since it means she can't do even the most basic of mathematics. As such, anyone who decides to rub salt into her wounds by making fun of her because of it is just as likely to end up on this list in relatively short order. That said, Misaki can be fairly forgiving. She isn't the type to hold a grudge, and if they appear to feel bad for what they did, then she'll practically forget about it. Of course, this isn't to say she won't fall for any tricks, but even Misaki has her limits...betray her one too many times, and her trust will be permanently shattered.
Another thing worth nothing, she hates violence, as well as her own powers. So, it's safe to assume that anyone who attacks her and/or tries to force her to use her powers aren't likely to get along with her anytime soon. Lastly, there are males. While she doesn't necessarily dislike men, she is afraid of them. She can tolerate being around them well enough, and she's, at the very least, matured enough to know that all men aren't like the boys who ruthlessly bullied her when she was younger. Still, the emotional scars run rather deep, and, in spite of this, she avoids directly interacting them like the plague, only giving in when it becomes absolutely necessary.
Romance
Last but not least, we have romance. To start with, Misaki is a lesbian, meaning she vastly prefers the company of other females. Additionally, her already-strong tendency to cling to someone she takes a liking to means that, when she falls for someone, she tends to fall hard. Of course, Misaki is still young, and quite naive, at that. She's never been in love before, so such feelings are bound to be confusing for the poor girl...especially one who's already so shy and awkward. And this is even without getting into the complications that her sexual preference is likely to add onto the whole mess.
Ironically, the fact that she's only attracted to other girls is one of the few things that she doesn't stress over. She's most comfortable when she's in the company of other females, and, for her, that's all she really needs to know in order to make sense of it. Also, being as naive as she is, she remains blissfully ignorant of the taboo often associated with homosexuality. Of course, when she actually has feelings for someone, that's a little different. Much to the young girl's dismay, she's rather terrible at hiding her feelings, thus it tends to be painfully obvious when she has a crush on someone.
Should someone reciprocate her feelings, she'll still be a bit awkward due to her inexperience, but she'll also be very loving and (assuming her brain doesn't implode from embarrassment) affectionate. Like with her regular friends, though, she'll probably be very clingy...even more so now that she's gone beyond mere friendship. And, as always, some patience may be required. But, a general rule of thumb to remember is that, if you can make Misaki happy, then she'll gladly do everything she can to return the favor.
So yeah...that about covers it. If you're interested in RPing with Misaki, then feel free to post here with any ideas you might have.
