Age: 16
Canon: ef - a tale of memories.
Canon Point: episode nine
Species: human
Gender: female
Orientation: heterosexual
History: wikipedia ; episode-by-episode summaries
Appearance: What a cutie.
Personality: Chihiro is a very shy girl, and while part of it is due to her disorder, a lot of it is just her. Compared to her twin sister, she was never the loud one, never the outgoing one. She's slow to make friends, though that maybe because she's never had a chance to. However, that doesn't mean that she enjoys her solitude. The second time she meets Renji (as the first was basically him running away from her out of embarrassment) she hastily explains that she doesn't mind seeing him at the train station, and the third time she hugs him out of gratitude for coming back to see her. Of course, she had to reaffirm his identity each time, but the fact that he returned to be her friend meant more to her than anything else. To her, a simple "see you later" is a promise to meet one another again, and these promises are one of the only things that can connect the her of one day to the her of the next.
Chihiro feels that her life in general is worthless and pointless as she isn't able to do anything, and this sad belief is apparent in everything she does, from her novel to her math exercises. She has little motivation to do anything with her life simply because she won't remember. In fact, she states that her only "goal"--not even a hope or wish--is to live a life without troubling anyone. At the same time, she realizes that this is impossible, and that by simply living she'll be troubling someone due to her condition. Any passion she has is directed towards her desire to write a novel, but she doesn't attempt to do that either because of the difficulties her disorder would present her with. Even in her own diary, she a has a bulleted note saying to avoid others as much as possible as she can only cause them trouble. Still, her desire for companionship is evident in that she further instructs herself to record everything about anyone she meets in the diary.
On a day-by-day basis though, Chihiro appears as a rather average girl save for her eyepatch. She enjoys cooking and eating, keeping a point record of how good her meals are in her diary, and likes to go out and about in town. Unfortunately, she's rather bad at cooking, and she freely admits that the food made by women in her family should not but consumed by human beings; while she doesn't mean to be funny, her self-depreciating nature can seem a bit funny at tiems in light-hearted situations. She's a bit sensitive, and movies will make her cry even if they're not meant to be sad ones. There are times when she overreacts towards being poked fun at, and she'll even ask if she's being bullied, but her grudges don't (and can't) last for long. While she doesn't actively read books, she has an interest in writing them. On the surface, she really is just a normal girl and tries hard to be one.
As she writes more of her novel, it is slowly revealed that it is really just an allegory for how she views the world and her life. In her narrow perspective, she is the only person in the world, and her only connection to other human beings is through her memories of when she was younger. She cannot create any new experiences and cannot form new relationships. She is utterly, utterly alone, and there is no true way to solve this situation. It would seem that her relationship with Renji is a cure for her loneliness, but when she sleeps for fourteen hours and loses all memories of him, it shows how truly fragile her bonds with people are. They can dissolve and disintegrate like dust. Even after she recovers from the shock of it all, she is wary and hesitant to become friends with him again because she knows that she can forget him just as easily as she did before.
Abilites: Chihiro is about as normal as regular humans come. Ironically enough though, she has a fantastic memory if it's something that occurred within the last thirteen hours; if it happened in that time frame, she can recall every tiny detail. As mentioned earlier, she's so horrible at cooking that she flat out states that people shouldn't eat it. Lastly, she has a penchant for relating things in rather whimsical terms, probably due to her time spent writing.

SAMPLES
First Person: Sample here!
Third Person: The day began like any other day before it--or at least, what she thought her days before began like. As Chihiro walked silently to the abandoned train station, diary in hand, she couldn't help but keep her eyes toward the sky even then. Her footsteps resounded lightly against the metal of the train tracks, and the noise of the town was incapable of reaching this far out. In the unchanging and unmoving scenery around her, only the clouds above seemed to move forward, progress on to whatever future was waiting for them.
And as for herself? Even as she continued to walk, it felt like nothing changed around her, nothing changed about her. She may not have been able to remember it for herself, but she knew that she would spend this day exactly the same as she did the last few days: doing nothing but sitting silently, alone, with her gaze on the sky for no particular reason other than having nothing else to do. After all, even if she tried to do something, she would eventually forget about it or lose the interest the her of yesterday had; there simply wasn't any point. It had been four years already, and nothing had changed in that time. Not a thing had changed.
Still, as she took a seat at the abandoned train station, hands in her lap and probably looking like the very picture of content, she couldn't help but wonder aloud.
"... maybe today something will be different."
It was a prayer of sorts, one she fully expected to go unanswered, but... Regardless, she sat there hoping.
