Shirogane Ichigo

From Kokorodatabase

Revision as of 21:25, 17 August 2007

Kokoro's most "hated" character.

Shirogane Ichigo isn't quite the girl everyone thought her to be. At one point, she was that cute catgirl who led the mews, but due to whacked authoress-ness, her mind has been "warped" and now people just see her as whiny and lazy a majority of the time. Of course, all she is now is misunderstood, because while, yes, there's no denying that there was an authoress explosion with her, and she's now the "wife" of Shirogane Ryou, she's still that same old Momomiya Ichigo everyone knew. Err, well, sort of.

History

Before Kokoro

...

Kokoro Days

It all began when Ichigo first proposed to Ryou, which led to their infamous wedding two weeks later. In the beginning, Ichigo's main concerns where on building up her relationship with her "husband", and it all mainly consisted and drama and mushyworks, along with her moving into Cafe Mew Mew, having a second wedding, and later meeting their future children.

When Shirogane Kyr appeared, that was when things truly became complicated. At first, he was thought to be the future child of her and Ryou, but it was later discovered that he was in fact the son of Ryou and Midorikawa Retasu and also had a strong hate towards Ichigo for several reasons, one being that she was hated for breaking the hearts of many people due to her relationship with Ryou.

It was at this point that Ichigo's popularity began to die down, for she was apparently disliked by several people and she was seen as a total idiot for her occasional mindless actions. Because of this, Ichigo often went through many disappearances, disappearing from the cafe for weeks at a time and later returning, bearing a smile on her face as if nothing wrong had happened.

At many points along the way, and even now, on occasion, Ichigo has been seen as a "jealous freak", often getting angered at the idea that Ryou is often surroundered by many girls. Most of the time, she feels as if she has to "compete" for her boyfriend, considering his strong relationships with girls like Sarah Cohen or Kiki Gamu. She often gets depressed over this and to keep from visibly sulking, she spends some time away from the cafe. Of course, it didn't help matters much when Ryou moved out of the cafe, and for some months, Ichigo was in quite an emo spell, until finally, Ryou moved her things into his apartment and she has been living with him there ever since.

For a long time, Ichigo has had to work hard in order to prove herself to all the people that has hated her for being the way she is. However, most of her attempts to change their opinions of her have failed and thus, at this point, Ichigo has given up on proving anything to anyone. She now stands choosing to be herself, whether it be too perfect or imperfect for anyone else, and feels that she has wasted many days of her life trying to be someone she wasn't.

For now, Ichigo's life hasn't been so complicated. While there was some tension for a while due to the fact that while she and Ryou had spent some time apart, he and Gamu spent much of their time together, Ichigo has pretty much gotten over her little jealousy factor and is just relaxing, not dramatizing over anything in her life at the present time.

Kokoro Draft Future

In this future, Ichigo and Ryou marry, eventually having children which include the twins, Kisa and Masume, and the lovable Ami. Here, Ichigo is pretty much the same ditz she's always been, although, like Ryou who became quite a bishounen, she ended up looking like a true "bishoujo", as many may call it. Due to the many times she gets pregnant, she ends up getting into too many mood swings and is often whining and complaining to everybody.

Personality

There's possibly two sides of Ichigo known. The first is the most commonly viewed image of the strawberry girl, which is of course the "stupid" personality. At first, most people tend to pre-judge that Ichigo remains entirely clueless about the world around her and is just a total ditz who can't seem to tell up from down. There's plenty of proof to support this opinion considering Ichigo really has had moments where she can't even figure out the functioning of a bubblegum machine.

Surprisingly, all in all, Ichigo's actually a bit of a mystery. While people think she just has an empty mind, she can surprise people with her knowledgable speeches and viewpoints about whatever's going on. For this, the question has often been raised if Ichigo's acts of "stupidity" have just been an act, or if maybe Ichigo really does have a seperate second side to her.

In truth, Ichigo still contains her feelings of determination, although like any other human being, she often does give up hope. But still, she's never fully given up on her goals. She's really just an average girl--and a bit of a romantic, really--and just tends to try to live life as simple as possible.

Despite the fact that plenty of people have hated her in the past, Ichigo's not one to hold a grudge and doesn't really hold any feelings of hate towards anybody. She usually gets along with anyone she talks to, except, of course, when it comes to her boyfriend, whom she always ends up in an argument with. Really, most of the time, she just tries to help in any way she can, but can easily note when there really isn't anything she could do.

She hates to be dragged into drama and tends to have trouble figuring how to get herself out of it. She's also not the best cook in Cafe Mew Mew, considering baking cookies can become quite hazardous, but even so, she still practices trying to succeed in making other meals.

Ichigo admits that while everyone pretty much has something they're truly good at, she doesn't really have anything that she could do better than someone else. However, she does seem to have quite a talent with knitting and most of the time is caught doing so.

Relationships

Lovelife

• Shirogane Ryou: While it was a shock to many, Ichigo proposed to Ryou during the first episode of Kokoro. Eventually, she admitted that when she did so, her feelings for Ryou hadn't exactly been developed yet, but that was no matter for it wasn't long before she truly fell in love with him. As of now, so much drama and chaos has occurred between the two, and Ichigo constantly believes that she doesn't deserve being with him, but it seems that no matter what, Ryou would never let her go, and in truth, she wouldn't let him go either. As of now, she seems to be having a silent rivalry with Gamu over him.

• Aoyama Masaya: Honestly, it's unknown how their relationship ended, but it happened sometime before her relationship with Ryou began. Though Ichigo insists they ended on good terms, she's blamed a lot by others for "breaking his heart" and running off with Ryou.

Trivia

• Ichigo's probably the most teased character in Kokoro, because people make fun of her authoress a lot for making her more "stupid" than she originally was.
• Ichigo's one of the characters that has recently too many personality-changes.
• Reason for the above statement is due to her authoress going mad about trying to figure out how she can make her act more "canon"-like.
• All attempts for the former statement have failed, so basically Ichigo has multi-personalities but no bipolar disorder, which just makes it all so confusing.
