Honeyworks - Stories of Youth
Duckii_Chan for Arisa Takamizawa
Arisa used to ignore her own compassion in an attempt to fit in. When a fellow student got bullied- she desperately wanted to help, but couldn't bring herself to do so. She was scared that if she spoke up against them, she would be hated as well... thus, she buried her compassion deep inside her. Until, due to a certain incident, she finally managed to build up enough courage to stand up for what she believed was right. She stood up for the bullied girl- and as she expected, got bullied in return... but she didn't regret it, because she finally stood up for herself.
Now, Arisa is a courageous and outgoing girl, willing to stand up for her friends, no matter what. She's still not the best at communicating, due to her deeply rooted fear of being abandoned- but she's doing her best on a day-to-day basis. And that's what matters.
Arisa should have a rather high and expressive voice.
[Excited, meeting her idol]
I can't believe I'm going to the same school as you, Sena-san! I've read all your magazines and watched all your shows! Oh, I especially loved that one issue of "Fashion Regular," where you were hired as a hair model. That hair-arrangement was so well done and looked so cute!
[Frustrated, talking about Ken]
“I know that he’s a good person… But that’s exactly why I don’t know how to deal with him! It'd be one thing if he was a bad person- I could handle that- But at this point, I'm not sure if he's serious about wanting to become friends or not. I can’t get too close to someone anymore. I don’t want it all to repeat again…”
[Flustered, after Ken confessed to her]
I mean, it's not like I... dislike you. If I had to pick between "loving," or "hating" you... I'd say I... like you a bit... I guess.
But- I can't go out with you! I know that stuff like dating comes easy to you, but I... I've never done this sort of thing before. So can we... take it a bit more slowly?[Ken smiles and holds out his hand, telling her he'll take it as slowly as she wants.]
Okay. Then we're gonna start out from here... as proper friends now!
Woah, amazing job! I loved both your voice and energy for Arisa! Thank you for auditioning!
Congrats!
