Name: Kimiko Kasai
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual, very heavy internal homophobia (and external)
Role on the Submarine: Field Scientist
Country of Origin: Japan
Appearance: Kimiko is Japanese, with waist-long wavy black hair. She has large dark eyes and very pale skin. Very sharp features, almost to the point of being unearthly. Her limbs are long and spindly, and she’s shorter than most, about five feet.
General Attire: She normally likes dressing up in fancy clothes, but she fears what people will say about the fact that she, a foreign woman, is wearing an elaborate kimono, so she wears plain dresses, with stockings and her long hair pushed back into a high bun (as best as she can, anyway) and disguised with a large, but simple, bonnet (as if by disguising her hair, she can disguise her heritage). However, she brought a couple kimonos, just as wishful thinking. She wears white as little as possible (white is the color of death in Japan).
Personality: Very cheerful and outgoing; a constant optimist. Bubbly, flirty, outgoing, likes to be the center of attention. Protective, friendly, caring. Pretty naive and trusts unconditionally. However, she lets other people's opinions affect hers way too much. She blends her personality to whatever others want her to be ("white people don't like unkind foreigners") until she doesn't know who she is anymore. Whenever she's distressed, she doesn't say anything and only lets her problems build up until they crush her and she literally collapses. Is under a lot of pressure to be like the Japanese representative for her country.
Other: No matter what, she always has an elaborate lacquer comb hidden in her skirts or under her bonnet for good luck. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/98/58/42/985842774304a325206ff41f7c57f6c8.jpg

(I've decided on Cyrus. Is she alright?)

Name: Cyrus Ada Adler
Age: 23 years.
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual (Leans towards women more often though doesn't admit to others in fear of homophobia)
Role on Submarine: Field Scientist
Country of Origin: England
Appearance: Lightly colored, almost honey brown hair that falls in messy curls and waves, barely spends anytime trying to fix it so it is usually pulled into some sort of low hair-do or a headband. Paler skin tone with light freckles scattered loosely across the bridge of her nose, cheeks, shoulders and collarbone, aren't very noticeable unless you look closely. Flushed undertones on cheekbones and collarbone as well. Fuller lips that are usually cracked or chapped from how much she bites down on them, a lighter pink tone, standing out against her skin. Almond shaped, tawny brown eyes that reflect nearly everything, framed by thick, light colored lashes, darker brows compared to her hair. Around 5'6 with a leaner and petite build, her shoulders are a bit slouched from her lack of posture when she works. Small scars on the bridge of her nose, raised white scars on her jawline and hands, and a small nick in her left ear. (can be referenced for her appearance https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9a/ad/38/9aad385119f5ec77997e5daf61cec374.jpg)
General Attire: Cyrus usually wears mellower tan, creme, sepia and pastel colors. Likes to wear small blouses or sweaters, longer dresses and skirts with stockings to keep warm. Cardigans, vests and coats are her best friends since she usually tends to get cold on the submarine. Though when she is at work, she usually wears some sort of loose button up with trousers and faded, short boots where the laces are almost always untied.
Personality: A bit quieter and withdrawn when first seen, more of an observer and could be seen as someone who's introverted. Could be a great leader if she put herself out their more, tries to play it safe and be on the good side of everyone, though isn't afraid to put someone back into their place. Can be described as artistic, soulful and thoughtful, someone who notices smaller things in others. A dreamer and always looks a bit tired. Has a few turbulent emotions that she covers up and likes to get distracted by with laughs, resourceful. She's determined in her work and is always someone that can be spoken to easily about any topics, can be a little blind to other people's sensitivities, brash and impulsive at times when a loved one or someone she cares about is in trouble, doesn't take great care of herself.
Other: Is a bit superstisious and religious so has some sort of small silver cross hanging from her neck. Has a light English accent, though has her own, small dialect and changes from where she grew up (towards the isles)

dw about it! here's my gal:

Name: Dara Caitlin Walsh
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Sexuality: bisexual (closeted to the extreme, has, over time, come to terms with it)
Role on the Submarine: Animal Veterinarian
Country of Origin: Ireland (though her father has British lineage)
Appearance: Thick, dark brown hair cut short, sort of permanently messy, almost layered, and semi-fluffy. She wears a wig on top to disguise the unacceptable haircut (though it wasn’t her choice, her aunt forcefully shaved it off for reasons I will reveal as we roleplay) that’s roughly the same colour, but falls down to just above the midpoint of her chest in loose waves, in a middle part and a slight fringe. When working, she keeps it in either a ponytail or a braid. Tan skin with a darker, flushed undertone around her cheeks, nose, and shoulders, the sort of thin lips that are more skin than pink flesh, an impish smile, acne scars (believe it or not, acne is not a modern development) on the lower sides of her face towards her jawline, deep burgundy eyes that reflect the light. Shorter than average, about 5’6’’, with a more rectangular body shape, very slight curves. This can be used as a guideline (minus the clothing): https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/AamluAQ1zAdOd7OUNIA1iXsseFDFRQpwllOi-kpSQMnrp0D_X250_6c/
General Attire: Mostly browns and deep maroons, wears trousers as much as possible. No loose clothing, since it gets in the way of her job, usually simple tops and bottoms. She always wears a tarnished bronze cross on a slim chain beneath her shirt, as well as a simple bronze ring on her right ring finger.
Personality: A bit of a tomboy (but suppresses it because of the strict social structures of the era), more headstrong than most people like, not afraid to speak her mind or protest. She’s not completely muleheaded, though, and knows when to hold her tongue, her sense of logic isn’t impaired. Angers quickly, fiercely protective, keeps her chin up and her eyes focused on the endgame. Knows how to plan ahead but isn’t terribly organized, ambitious, can be cunning and sly.
Other: An accent somewhere between Irish and British. Ran away from home several times only to be brought back, her parents left her with her (abusive) aunt when she was eleven. She was an accident, never really desired by her mother and father, and an only child, since her little brother died at birth. She sees him sometimes, but is unsure
