Character name: Lisa Imai Canon: BanG Dream! (shortened to Bandori, because that looks really strange) Canon point: Sometime after Lisa's focus event, so late spring/early summer 2018 by the NA server's reckoning; Bandori is a single anime season and a phone game, so that's what I've got for canon points. Powers, if any: N/A
Application letter: Part of me doesn't trust this, but... if there's a chance it's real, I need to go for it. So, um, hi, I'm Imai Lisa, and I need a break. I'm the bassist for a band, Roselia. My best friend is the vocalist, Yukina's really great, maybe you've heard of us? Anyway, I do my best to play bass and I'm the emotional support for everyone. I know at least one of the band members calls me "mom" when they think I'm not listening. It's cute, and I love doing it, but... it's hard sometimes, you know? To be there for them. I want the best for them, I need them to be okay when stuff goes wrong, I love them to death, but I also can't keep pushing myself like I have been. I keep second-guessing myself. Yukina... I need her to be happy. I need it, in a way I can't really explain. [The ink is thicker and the paper is heavily imprinted.]
But I can't take that break here, because Yukina needs me. If I tell them, "oh, I need some time off, I need to decompress," they're going to hover over me, and it'd be sweet, but it wouldn't really help. I need time away from them, I think, but I need them not to worry. I'll miss them, but- absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? I'll rest up, and I'll be energized, and I'll have ideas for songs, and I'll get better at the bass. Then I can come back and give them everything I have. Yukina told me, back when we started Roselia, that we had to be fully devoted to the band if we were going to be members. I'm willing to do that, I really want to! But I've been too devoted and it's burning me out. I don't want to be the person that collapses because I haven't been able to step back and relax. Tsugu's done that and Afterglow, her band, almost came to blows over it. I don't want to continue the trend. The others are better than me, so I have to practice a lot not to fall behind, but there just isn't enough time.
I'm sorry, this sounds really selfish when I write it out - I'm certain someone is more deserving of this than I am. I'm stressing out over playing bass in my high school band. It's crazy, right? But I think it's more than that. We're not like Kokoro and her band, where we're out to make people happy through our music, but... they like to listen to us, and we like to play for them. So if I'm not running at my best, those people aren't getting the show they deserve, and Roselia isn't getting what they want out of it either. I just need to recharge, and then I can help Yukina and the others bring excitement to those people. I don't think I'll need long, but if I keep going like this, I'm going to crash. My friends don't deserve to have to deal with that. They have enough on their plates. I don't like to ask for help like this, but... please, consider me for this chance.
