Miki Naomasa

MIKI NAOMASA

**Appearance**

Miki was too short and small to be a proper 'boy', but she is the right size to be a cute, diminutive girl. Miki has a rounded face with a rounded chin, and full plump cheeks. She is blessed with such a positive asset of natural blonde hair color, with beige and cream highlights. Her hairstyle is such that she has bangs cut straight across her forehead, hiding it, with two long bangs cascading down to below her cheeks. In back, the hairstyle is long, down to just above her wing bones. Miki is also blessed with huge, 'anime girl' style eyes, in a provocative, erotic color of fresh honeycomb. She has thick eyelashes, so rare for a 'boy', and expressive eyebrows. She seems to be always blushing, with cute, pink cheeks. Her skin color is pale pink, clear and creamy all over.

Miki has a thin neck and narrow shoulders, average length arms, but small hands. She has a flat chest, as she has not yet taken drugs to develop it. Her torso is thin, but with a slightly plump waist. She has no hips, typical of young boys. However, Miki has long, lean, sexy legs, somewhat out of proportion for her short body, and small feet.

Miki is seen most often in the story wearing the female school uniform. She is forced to wear the male school uniform during the day for classes, but always changes into the female school uniform after school, so she can be out in public as a teenage girl. The uniform is of a sailor fuku (sailor suit) style, with a long sleeved white shirt with medium green accents on top. The bow in front is of a delicate pink. The mini-skirt is pleated, and of the same medium green color. She wears black knee socks, and tan oxford shoes. For causal wear, Miki generally wears a t-shirt and a mini-skirt. In the story, Miki is also shown wearing a cheerleader's outfit with a pleated mini-skirt, a pink ballet leotard under a white apron, the school's official tank style girl's swimsuit, and a Gothic/Lolita styled maid's outfit, complete with an apron and a maid's Lolita head covering.

**Personality and Circumstances**

Miki's personality traits were such that it was not difficult for her, at this stage of her transition, to change back and forth from 'male' to female. This because Miki was always thought of as a very feminine looking and acting 'male', with a very feminine personality. One of Miki's major assets is her outstanding humility. She never sees herself as superior to others, in fact, she is quite passive and shows meekness around both friends and strangers. This causes her to be kind and considerate to others, even to the point that she frequently apologizes to others for what she seemingly is doing improperly. But Miki is not a 'pushover'. She has a very strong and developed sense of self-motivation and self-direction with regard to her life. These personality traits are what motivated her to begin her transition from male to female at a young age, beginning as she entered puberty. She appears to be planning and instituting her transition all by herself, with no help from parents, teachers, or others. Actually, Itsuki is the first person to take an interest in Miki's transition, and the first to agree to help her as a friend and companion.

Self-determination is what powers Miki along to dress in the female sailor suit school uniform, and go out in public after school nearly every school day (hence, the name of this manga)! Miki presents herself as a typical teenage girl out in public, regardless of what others think, say, or do. But this brings with it a whole new set of hazards. Undesirable people see Miki for who she actually is---a cute, pretty, covertly sexy single teenage girl. This unfortunately leads others to try and take advantage of Miki, by who knows what nasty means. Miki has come close to being in danger several times, but nothing actually has happened to her physically, or to destroy her self-confidence. Itsuki immediately saw this problem of an unprotected Miki walking the streets of the village after school, and began to offer his advice and companionship to Miki right away. Itsuki has also been instrumental in getting Miki to try new and different things, another good trait that Miki has come to learn.

Miki does have a few less than desirable traits to her personality. To her credit, she is able to balance her life between having to masquerade herself as a 'boy', and her times that she can be her authentic self, that of a young teenage girl. This because she is not in a position to fully transition at this time in her life. However, Miki is incredibly gullible and naive. She is easily led into situations that are not in her best interest. She is too trusting of strangers or others who are just trying to take advantage of her. Added to this is the fact that Miki can't 'size up' people very well. That coupled with her trusting nature is a recipe for trouble. Even without others to bother Miki, she has a rather careless independence about herself, as shown by her habit of wandering around the village, many times in not the best of neighborhoods. That, and she sometimes may not take directions or advice very well. At least she had come to trust and respond to Itsuki's guidance and direction toward her, for her own good.

As Miki grows older, and has completed her transition, she will, no doubt, will come to have a very well-balanced and attractive personality. Her romantic aspirations toward Itsuki, with him being an excellent companion, perhaps also as a lover, will help Miki be the best possible female that she can be in her life.

**Trivia**

In the Japanese language, the first name "Miki" is both feminine and masculine, and means one who is exceedingly beautiful, elegant, and majestic.
