Description

Cho stands at about 5'3" and looks, with her huge brown eyes, nearly nonexistent bust and small, delicate hands and feet, more like a fourteen-year-old than a waitress in her early twenties. She has long, straight brown hair that if let loose would fall to her knees, but since it is usually done up in a braid or something, it appears wavy if you saw her let it out. In fact, mostly the hair is kept back. Cho's cat ears, sitting on top of her head, are the same color as her tail: cocoa brown. Both furry features are short-haired but soft and silky. In both the time periods Cho can function in, modern and feudal Japanese, she is a waitress and although in the modern one her uniform is a Swedish navy dress with a lacy apron and in the feudal Japanese era it's a short floral kimono with a red obi and her normal dress for the modern is a kimono, due to her obsession with ancient Japanese culture, and her normal dress for the feudal Japanese version is a kimono (if longer than her uniform one.)

Personality

Cho often tends to be bashful and quiet, as well as very prone to hiding behind others and lacking battle skills. However, once she starts to sing, it's like she's a whole new person. Her shyness and quietness melt away into a melody of deep, moving tones that someone would be surprised to see come out of the little neko. As soon as her performance is done, though, her old tenacity will retake its place in her demeanor. Only those close to her see a less-shy, less quiet side of Cho; she does actually have a sense of humor and will utilize it among those close to her.
However, since her father-figure and guardian just died, Cho has retreated into her shell and is now more shy than ever and cold towards anyone who dares approach.

Equipment

Modern
Cho never leaves home without a small leather backpack that serves as a sort of purse. It contains: $1000 (in cash and credit/debit cards),
a wallet, her ID, her Driver's License, a photograph of her late parents, three pairs of well-loved chopsticks, her iPhone, containing tons of traditional Japanese music, seasons of her favorite animes, and more.
As a weapon, she will make use of everything around, preferably her frying pan.

Feudal Japanese
Cho has little need to carry anything but a bit of money and cooking supplies.

History

Modern
Cho was born in Japan and orphaned at an early age by a car accident, and taken in by the kindly Swedish bar owner who was a good friend of her parents, living in America. He taught her the trade of inns and restaurants, and now the neko is a successful waitress and innkeeper. Not much happened in her childhood aside from her orphaning; still, she grew up secretly wanting more. Her first debut of her voice was on a whim by her friend and father figure the barkeep. Cho was a big hit, and started regularly (although bashfully) singing on weeknights at the inn.
Cho's parents were indeed direct immigrants from Japan, which started her obsession with the country.
The first and only time a drunkard assaulted Cho in the inn while she was washing dishes in the back, the man had somehow slipped by the inn owner's eye, and it was the first time she broke out her frying pan. She really didn't mean to; it just... happened. One minute, the drunk was leering over her with a sickening smile, and the next he was on the ground. After that, no one messed with Frying-Pan Cho.
Unfortunately, he old barkeep fell ill and died recently. The inn was not left to Cho, but sold to a business tycoon because apparently the innkeep was in debt. She does not like the new owner at all and is very silent and almost cold around him, shunning his almost dangerously flirtatious advances outright. She is still in grief over the loss of her father-figure. The customers comfort her as best they can; but poor Cho is heartbroken. Whereas she was extremely shy before, she has now receded almost entirely into her shell.
Cho doesn't sing anymore.
