About: History/personality

Nishi was born a health baby of average weight, to her single mother, Amano, in Kyoto, on August 4th, 2007. Only about a year later, Amano became married to Nishi's new father, Tagawa Masaru. At first, it was a bit strange to get used to, as it used to only be Amano and Nishi, however, by the time the young girl reached the age of five, she had adjusted quite nicely, and was happy to have another parental figure.

Fast forward a few years, to when Nishi was aged ten. She discovered one of her fathers old toys, in the form of a handheld gaming console from almost twenty years earlier. From then on, Nishi's favorite activity was video games. Weather it was the classics, or the newer video games, she played them almost every free hour she had. Her childhood friend, Takeda, also shared the same interest she did, and they played together every chance they could. The two continued to be best friends, until around 2020, where Takeda asked Nishi if she would date him. She had to take a while to think, however, she eventually made up mind, her decision being a yes.

2021, almost a full year into their relationship, with no bumps or problems. Rumors had started to surface, going around the middle school that Nishi and Takeda attended, that the former had been in a relationship one of the other kids for at least a month. Takeda went to ask Nishi about this, but at the time he did, she was seen to be talking to another boy, laughing with him. Though the other boy was trying to hit on her, Nishi didn't realize this until Takeda texted her, mere minutes before taking his life. She knew that he was a delicate flower, but he never thought that he would do this. A whole two weeks passed before Nishi went back to the school, and that was only for a month, before she dropped out, and started attending online classes.

Nishi practically never left her room, save eating and doing a few chores, but she continued to play her video games. In 2022, the NerveGear was released, and the 14 year old saw this as an opportunity to get her mind away from the depression it dipped down into occasionally. At first, she didn't actually own any games for the NerveGear, not really liking what she saw. However, when she discovered that a new VRMMORPG would be releasing in November, she became interested. Sword Art Online was released in 2022, and Nishi just barely got a copy. She rushed home, locked her door, turned out the lights, and got on her bed. She turned on the NerveGear, and said the last words she would say in the real world for quite some time-- 'Link Start'.

Personality wise, she is generally not one to start up a conversation unless she needs to, but sometimes will talk to others on her own. When she gets used to people, however, her nerves ease and allow her to relax. Then, if it comes to decision making, the stubborn side of her attitude can be seen. She usually will stick to the opinion that her decisions are the best ones.

Virtues:

Benefit of the doubt: Though she isn't sure if people will be as easy to trust in SAO, Nishi believed in the real world that unless somebody had unquestionably done something in which she would deem 'bad', they had a bad demeanor, or they had lied, that their word should be taken for truth. In the years that she believed this, most of the time it was true.

Toughness: Generally not one to back down, partly due to her somewhat stubborn attitude towards certain things, she tries to defend what she thinks is right. Not all the time does she get her way, however she tries anyway. She isn't sure what to think and to do in the new world she's in, as it could get her hurt.

Holding of the tongue: Though she will occasionally forget, she attempts to think before speaking or acting, and to make sure she knows all the facts before jumping to a conclusion. Though, again, she doesn't always follow through with this, and can end up running her mouth on autopilot.

Flaws:
Antisocial: Ever since Nishi was around the age of 11, she started to like talking to people less and less. This wasn't because she didn't like them, she just found it hard to get used to new people. There were a few she did get used to, however, but outside of this, she didn't really attempt to make new friends.

Stubbornness: Generally, her few friends saw her ideas as the best of the groups, as she normally scored the highest on tests, got the best grades, and other things that made her friends believe that she was the smartest of them.

Terrified at the thought of suicide: Since she was one of the first people to see her friend's body after his death, thinking about somebody taking their own life brings up memories of what happened in the past. It usually won't 'scare' her, in the sense like a panic attack would, however it usually will cause her to cry.

Profession: (Leave blank until the Earning a Living quest has been completed.)
