## Official Introduction

Asami Sakamoto, commonly known as Asami or Sami, is from a family of artists. Not to mention, Asami is part of the Art Club’s leaders. According to a few classmates of hers, she is the representative of the Art Club. She is also best friends with Hoshiko Nishimura and Elise Torres, despite her “childlike, yet chaotic” behavior.

## Personality

According to Elise, Asami can be a childlike, yet chaotic individual, even when she is disciplined. It is unclear why Asami can get out-of-character towards a select few, like the daughter of the Nishimura clan, Hoshiko. Even Hoshiko herself does not mind Asami’s childlike behavior, since she thinks it makes her happy, and many of her classmates think that way too. They all thought of her as kind, sweet, helpful, skilled, smart, and most importantly, disciplined. Ask her why people aren’t bothered about the way she acts, and the response you’d receive will be: *“My past is the reason why I act differently from other people, but don’t let that pique your interest. If my cheerful personality makes my loved ones happy, then I don’t see why people would be bothered by it either.”*

### Gacha Life 2

Asami retains her appearance like her Gacha Club counterpart, with the exception of her hair being in hip length and the lavender highlight in her bangs being absent.

### Gacha Club

Asami is a teenage female that has fair skin, short-medium length purple hair fading to a pink ombre that has short bangs with a lavender highlight, and has orange-peach eyes.

## Character Stories

### Details

*“Have you heard? Asami is our new Art Club representative!”* A girl with a questioning, yet excited tone exclaimed. *“Well yes, she is well known to be the daughter of Chikao and Akane Sakamoto.”* A boy responded with a fact. *“Will she do our club justice?”* The club’s president asked herself. *“Let’s hope that she will give our club a good reputation.”* The vice president replied with a strict, yet concerning tone. Those were the words that Asami had heard after she was elected the representative of the Art Club. Yet Asami wondered, will she be qualified enough to be club representative? Give the club a good reputation? To become a good model to newcomers of the arts field? Those were the questions that roamed her head the moment she became part of the Art Club Officers.

### Story 1

The Sakamoto family, known for being a family of artists, has always taken over the art world through their collaborations with small businesses. And ever since the family name passed to Asami, it is now her turn to keep the so-called “Sakamoto art” going. Asami’s works of art have always been popular ever since she was a child, because she would always draw in her free time, and slowly but surely, her talent for fine arts would always draw attention to many. “Sakamoto art must keep going! I can’t let mom and dad down!” - That was what Asami had said to herself when she was a little girl.

### Story 2

Asami was born to a simple, yet happy family. Yet, she was naturally born with the talent of her parents, which made her their pride and joy. And just like any other child, Asami is filled with curiosity, talent, and wits, which made her likable to many her age. Not to mention, she was everybody’s role model. But growing up… she ended up being a potential target to bullies. And when the bullying happened, she ended up going home, crying. Her parents were very worried about her. Asami didn’t do anything wrong, yet she got bullied by her schoolmates. The more Asami got bullied, the less happier she became. One day, while on a school break, her teacher witnessed young Asami getting bullied by students from another class. Luckily, he scolded those students, and brought Asami to the school clinic. While being treated for her wounds, the teacher was very concerned, and a bit disappointed as to why Asami never told him that she was bullied lately. Asami said: *“I-I don’t want to make anyone concerned about me, so I decided to keep it a secret, sir. \*sobs\* I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were mad at me!”* The teacher replied with: *“Hey, it’s okay. They’re gone now, and no, I’m not mad. I am just concerned and disappointed about why you didn’t tell me. Remember this: Next time you get bullied, tell an adult, like your parents and your teachers, okay?”* *“Okay, sir. I’ll tell you. I won’t keep it a secret anymore.”* Up to this day, even when her past always comes back to rid her of her happiness, she will always try to stay positive.

### Story 3

When Asami was 6 years old, that is when she first made her first friend: The daughter of the reputable Nishimura clan, Hoshiko. Well, she was the first one to ask Hoshiko if she can be friends, because Hoshiko was wary about people before. But she accepted her offer to sit beside her, and as time passed, they became best friends. They would do the things that best friends would do: write letters, give gifts, and have sleepovers.

### Story 4

It was all fun, until Asami had to move to another city for her mother’s work. Hoshiko was devastated to hear that, but remained to keep in touch with her through writing letters. When Asami was in the neighborhood she moved in, she made another friend, and that was Elise. Asami herself was a bit distant towards her the day they met, but then again, they got to know each other, like how her friendship with Hoshiko went. Asami even decided to write to Hoshiko a letter to tell her about Elise, and ask if they can be part of their friend group. Hoshiko wrote back, and replied yes. Asami was very happy, and decided to tell Elise the good news the next day. The next day, Asami told her everything about Hoshiko and her old neighborhood, and Elise, being the one to listen to her talks, sighed with sadness. *“\*sigh\*If only I could meet Shiko, and live in your old hometown. It sounds very cool there, unlike here… ”* *“What do you mean? No wait, this place is not very… friendly?”* Asami asked. *“Yes, it’s not very friendly here. There is a high chance you could get mistreated by others the longer you stay here. If you or anyone in your family gets mistreated, just get out of here.”* Elise replied with a warning. *“Then… If you knew you’re gonna be mistreated, how come you didn’t move to another place?”* Asami asked again. *“It was my mom’s choice, this IS her hometown after all. Even when she got mistreated by others, she still chose to stay here.”* Elise said. She also said: *“Well, it was nice talking to you about your first friend and your old hometown, but our conversation has to end here. If you have the chance to write a letter to Shiko, ask her this: Will you help Elise out when she moves out of her neighborhood? Will you make her and her family feel at home? Those are my questions that you should write, okay?”* *“Alright, I will take note of that. Bye Elise!”* Asami waved goodbye, and Elise waved back.

### Story 5

After a few years, the life of Asami’s mother has gone unstable. She has debt she owed to her boss and she got mistreated by her co-workers. Her father and Asami tried to console her, but to no avail, it got worse day by day. So Asami had one choice: Write a letter to Hoshiko to help the family out. And as Hoshiko received the letter, she knew what to do, which was to warn her older sister about the situation of the Sakamoto family. Her older sister had done the necessary preparations to send help. And in just the right time, Asami’s mother is finally free of the debt she had before, and is able to move back to their old hometown. Hoshiko was happy that her first commission work was a success. She helped a family out, and she was able to meet an old friend. *“Hope I can meet Elise someday, she sounds like a great person.”* Hoshiko said. *“Yeah! Let’s hope she’ll actually be with us soon…”* Asami replied, and the two walked back home to end the day.

### Plush Bunny

According to her father, Asami is a fan of plush toys. The most notable plush toy she owns is a plush bunny that she got on her 10th birthday. Asami even claimed that it’s her ‘sleeping companion’. One time, when Asami was sleeping, she had a nightmare, and held the bunny tight. *“Bunbun, I think I had a nightmare. I can’t sleep. Will you help me out?”* Bunbun “nodded” yes, and Asami thanked Bunbun for singing her a lullaby. Bunbun is the reason why Asami slept peacefully while nightmares would get to her head. Who knows if Bunbun will forever stay by Asami’s side, even when she grows up?
