The Golden Pair: Azusa Shiratori
The Golden Pair: Azusa Shiratori


Azusa Shiratori
"catalpa tree, white bird" (in Japanese)

Hair: Light brown
Eyes: Aqua
Description: Petite and adorably pretty. Always dressed in pink dresses full of ruffles, bows, flowers, etc.
Personality: Just plain *weird*. Read on...

Special Attacks:
Alouette, je te plumarai - Okay, that's not what it's called, but I think it's appropriate (IMHO ^_^). Basically, Azusa will forcably take anything that she finds cute, and give it a name (usually French).
Marianne - Azusa's little mallet. If Azusa is not able to take a cute object by force, she will hit it (or its owner) with this little mallet. But if the mallet is not at hand, practically any blunt object will do (especially is it's large and unwieldy ^_~). Unfortunately, her skating partner Mikado seems to bear the brunt of her attacks.
Dance of the Snowbird - Done on the ice, Azusa twirls around on one foot, sending up a cloud of snow that blocks the opponents' view. Although Azusa claims this is her version of the "Goodbye Whirl", it looks a lot more like Mikado's "Dance of Death". However, it has the same effect as the "Goodbye Whirl", as it can cause the opponent to accidently hit their partner.

KiSS doll
What is a KiSS doll, you ask? It's described as a "paper doll for your computer". Trust me, though, it's fun to try! ^_^ However, in order to use a KiSS doll, you need a viewer; download one by clicking here.

Azusa Shiratori - A KiSS doll of Azusa Shiratori (an excellent one, BTW).
Expansion set - This set requires the aforementioned doll, but it's well worth it. ^_~

[Ed. note: You can no longer download KiSS dolls off Otakuworld without a subscription... However, you should still be able to download the doll off the artist's webpage, found here (check under KiSS Dolls).]
