History:

Chiasa was born to Airi and Isamu Kotakunoaru deep within the family's estate in the city of Kyoma. The youngest of five and the only filly she was pampered and babied by all the family and staff. She was seen as a delicate flower despite her rambunctious and curious nature, and was never left alone for fear of her harming herself. Whether it was the staff tending to her every need, or in the comforting presence of her family Chiasa was never given a moment to herself. She did truly love the company of others, but when it all became too stifling she would sneak away into the skies to catch a moment for herself. Chiasa was the strongest and most confident flier of the siblings, often trying complex maneuvers and stunts, much to her family's dismay. When she came of age her parents grounded her to the confines of the estate, chaining her down with tutors, dusty books, and all sorts of musical instruments.

 

Being of a noble family it was expected of Chiasa to complete a formal education. She was versed in history, culture, writing, art and music in hopes of finding what she was meant to be. None of it worked. While she was adequate in all her studies, nothing seemed to jump out at the young filly. That is until a group of foreigners came to town. A ballet troupe was performing in Kyoma, ponies from the Royal Academy of Dance in Canterlot. Chiasa's father decided to take her to see the show as a way to cheer her up, and cheer her up it did. The filly was amazed by the grace and skill of the dancers, and while she was trained in traditional dance it didn't seem to hold much interest. Chiasa was smitten by the dancers and begged to become one. For months she pleaded and bargained with her parents, never ceasing for a moment even when her voice grew hoarse from the constant bickering. Eventually they relented, and allowed her to study abroad in Canterlot, as long as she returned after her studies.

 

In Canterlot she stayed at the Royal Academy of Dance, being paired in a dormroom with a young Pegasus. The two became fast friends with their love of flying and ballet, often seen together warming up or dancing in pairs. Her friend showed her the city and culture of Equestria which only delighted Chiasa more. However, despite her adventurous nature she was not as assertive as the other ponies in the academy. She was taught to listen and obey, to be a pretty, quiet, and cultured creature. Despite her abilities as a dancer she was always passed over for bolder dancers. Chiasa thought she would never get her time in the spotlight, until one day while practicing for the Swan Lake auditions with her friend the head mistress happened across the pair. She was so surprised by the demure fillys' confidence during the dance that she questioned why she did not perform as such when competing against others. She told the mistress of her culture and traditions where mares were seen as more subdued rather than firm and forthright. The mistress did not agree with her views, and urged her to be more assertive and confident to show her rightful place among the other dancers. During the auditions Chiasa performed assuredly and with poise, completing the dance flawlessly and earning her place as the lead role in the ballet. 

 

On her performance night the whole of her household came to see the show, where they saw their lethargic and uninterested daughter bloom into a passionate ballerina. At the end of the performance Chiasa earned her cutie mark, solidifying her dreams to be a dancer. She continued to study at the Academy for a year before graduating, and as promised returned home to Kyoma and her family. She brought with her the ideals of Canterlot society and western dance, often amusing the staff with her dances and teaching her brothers different moves. As money was never an issue Chiasa performed for free, either on the streets or in theaters. She began teaching young colts and fillies who saw her perform inside the estate, dedicating an entire room to her craft. She continues to live her life as a noble lady, but also a dancer and instructor. 

 

Character Personality:

Chiasa exudes an air of calm and restraint that on the surface gives her a placid demeanor. Her soft, knowing gaze, and mellow voice makes for a very nonthreatening appearance. A pleasant disposition and non-confrontational attitude makes her well liked by many who come across her. She is ever patient and empathetic to those she cares for. She is cultured and intelligent, picking up on new studies quickly, but her lack of interest can make her forget. Few things outside her narrow interest bring out strong emotions, making her seem apathetic and uninterested. Her serene gaze makes for a good poker face, but she has a hard time expressing what she is feeling at the moment. Chiasa only shows her more passionate and assertive side when it comes to dancing or other topics of interest. With her ever changing plans and hard to read emotions Chiasa is a fickle creature prone to being unpredictable and enigmatic at best.She likes to be whimsical and daring when it comes to the things she likes, which is dancing and flying. She can often be seen either flying through the skies or practicing ballet wherever she sees fit. Her head tends to be stuck in the clouds with fanciful thoughts, which can make it hard to keep her attention. Due to her upbringing and limited interest she can be seen as self-absorbed or unaware of her privilege as being apart of the noble class. This can make her out of touch with those of a lower standing than herself, even though she tries to not act condescending. She tries to be benevolent in her intentions and to show compassion, but her inexperience with hardship can make commoners seem otherworldly to her. 

Character Summary: Noble lady who just wants to dance man!
