~~Personal Profile~~

Personality: Aaliyah is a woman with a complex personality. If you were to ask three different people about her, you would get three different answers. She only shows people what she wants them to see and loves to keep people on their toes. Just when you think you know her, Aaliyah will show an entirely new side of her that no one knows about.

This chameleon nature of hers allows her to blend in with any crowd and she has many friends from all walks of life. Aaliyah is also free of all kinds of preconceived notions and judgments which allows her to love unconditionally and view things from all angles unlike many others. However she is no fool and is quite perceptive to the point of reading people rather easily. Thankfully Aaliyah has enough tact to not voice her perceptions and is very good at keeping secrets.

One would assume that Aaliyah is very popular because of her complexity but she's far from that. She doesn't care about popularity and is perfectly fine with being a lone wolf, showing her more introverted and individualistic side. Aaliyah also prefers to march to the beat of her own drum and does what she wants when she wants which doesn't sit well with people who are more conservative and collectivist. 

Aaliyah secretly has low self-esteem and trust issues which is the reason for her chameleon complexity. She's afraid of being vulnerable and showing weakness in front of others so she prefers to not let people get close to her. She also dislikes conflict and was previously a meek person but as she got older, she became more confrontational and fiery, building up a tough shell to protect herself even further.

Anyone who's lucky enough to be friends with Aaliyah will be rewarded with affection, compassion, and most importantly, tons of fun. Boredom doesn't exist when she's around! Aaliyah's sense of humor is also greatly appreciated and cheerful distractions are her specialty!

Likes: Spicy food, MMA, cars, the internet

Dislikes: Ignorance, judgmental people, bullies, arguments

Habits: Aaliyah has a tendency to twirl her hair or hum a random song when in deep thought or bored.

Hobbies: Aaliyah has many hobbies thanks to being open-minded. She's very involved in MMA and dancing, is a huge geek and gamer, enjoys cooking, and also likes to collect random things as well.

Favorite Food(s): Cheeseburgers, ramen, Japanese curry


~~Relationship Profile~~

Mother: Athena Bushida (nee Carter)
Mother's Age: 49-50 (Pre-Timeskip); 55 (Post-Timeskip)
Mother's Job: Police Field Sergeant
Relationship With Mother: Aaliyah and Athena have a close relationship that's also a bit distant because of Athena's job and tendency to be an overbearing, protective hardass at times. Athena also sees things as black and white which often clashes with Aaliyah's more grey perspective. Despite the tension between them, Aaliyah loves her mother dearly and often worries about her when she's on the job.

Father: Michael Grant
Father's Age: 51-52 (Pre-Timeskip); 57 (Post-Timeskip)
Father's Job: Architect
Relationship With Father: Aaliyah's relationship with Michael became strained when he came out as gay which lead to him and Athena divorcing. Aaliyah was angry at her father for lying and staying in the closet for so long but she eventually came around as time went on and now she's very close with her father. Aaliyah will often tell Michael things that she won't tell Athena because she finds him easier to talk to and be around.
 
Stepfather: Hiroki Bushida
Stepfather's Age: 49 (Pre-Timeskip); 54 (Post-Timeskip)
Stepfather's Job: Fire Captain
Relationship With Stepfather: Aaliyah greatly adores Hiroki and considers him a second father. She also looks up to him because of his past and how he's managing to overcome his demons. Hiroki's introverted personality harmonizes well with Aaliyah's although there can be some comedic moments between them because of him also being witty and a good sport when being pranked.
 
Younger Sister: Zafina Grant
Younger Sister's Age: 13-14 (Pre-Timeskip); 19 (Post-Timeskip)
Younger Sister's Job: Dispatcher (Post-Timeskip)
Relationship With Younger Sister: Aaliyah and Zafina definitely have a "partners in crime" relationship and they're very protective of each other. Zafina's alternative style of dressing is greatly appreciated by Aaliyah and it's not uncommon to see them shopping together and trying out new clothes. Zafina also has a dark personality fitting of a goth and it compliments Aaliyah's chameleon personality quite well, leading to some rather sinister mischief involving them sometimes.
 
Love Interest(s): Ryunosuke Tanaka, Tobio Kageyama, Daichi Sawamura, Kiyoko Shimizu, Koshi Sugawara, Asahi Azumane

~~History Profile~~

Background: Aaliyah was born in Japan to an African-American couple and seemingly had a perfect childhood. But her father Michael was a closeted gay man and he finally came out when Aaliyah was 13. Although her parents tried to keep things normal and wanted to make their marriage work, they eventually decided to get a divorce but it was amicable and they promised to always remain friends.

A year later, Aaliyah had a new stepfather by the name of Hiroki Bushida who was a captain for the fire department and she eagerly welcomed him with open arms, considering him a second father. Having a blended family gave Aaliyah the fire that she desperately needed to stand up to her bullies and becoming a better person as she attended high school.
 
Now Aaliyah is currently in medical school with the goal of becoming an OB/GYN.
