Status: Single (In a will they won't they with one of her secret informant criminal contacts)
Occupation: News Anchor at Neo Los Angeles News Network
Cyberware: A chip in her shoulder that helps store information she needs
Hometown: Akihabara, Japan
Affiliation: Neo Los Angeles News Network, Herself
Background
Sayuri grew up in a more derelict section of Akihabara. The beloved Electric Town that everyone called it was nothing but an electric hellscape to her. Her parents worked themselves to the bone for rich people who didn't care about them. They were servants at a rich diplomat's mansion, and because they were always working, a young Sayuri never really saw her parents much. She only saw them a couple of weeks out of an entire year and she was mainly raised by her father's brother, her uncle and his wife. Her uncle was a gambling loser who wasted what little money he had won from his table games on cheap saké. His wife however, was probably the only slightly positive individual in Sayuri's life. She's the one who took Sayuri out of Akihabara when she was only eight years old and brought her to Neo California. Her aunt would teach her how to get what she wanted from people, either by using her feminine charms or by using the art of persuasion. Sayuri fortunately took to this immediately and used it to survive. She ended up being so good at speaking that she ended up getting access to exclusive places that she previously wouldn't have gotten into. She basically talked her way into getting a better education, getting a very good job as a journalist, climbing up the ladder and becoming a news anchor at Neo Los Angeles News Network.
Initially, she wanted her journalism to remain unbiased, but she grew resentful of the higher-ups in Neo LA News Network. Perhaps her heartbreak from her parents breaking their backs all the time working for crazy rich people had finally festered and reached a boiling point... either way, she grew jealous and hateful of the higher-ups and wants to take over Neo Los Angeles News Network for herself... not realizing that in her secret crusade of doing so, she's becoming one of those rich people she despises. In order to reach her goal, she's managed to secretly involve herself with criminals who are her informants and feed her information about any ties the higher-ups might have within the company along with her informants giving her information about potential stories she wants to cover that would be good to cover or potentially be a huge breakthrough in her career.
One of these informants, she has a will they won't they relationship with. He's a criminal but is secretly an informant and the two of them have been working together for two years now. When he drops by her penthouse at night to give her the information she needs, he can't help but linger a bit when she's near him... and she can't help but do the same. Will they not only do their underhanded dealings together but will they get together romantically? It's a mystery.
Personality wise, Sayuri on the surface seems to be kind, helpful, focused, no nonsense and generous. But what lies deeper is greed, dangerous hungry ambition claws at her with each breath she takes. She wants it all. She's calculative, cold, manipulative, envious and will stop at nothing in order to get something she wants, and if you're in her way she'll do whatever she needs to in order to make sure you're not just out of her way but will never again be an obstacle for her and her goals.
Wanted Connections
Will they won't they: The two of them have been secretly working together for two years now. He's a criminal and an informant. If there's anyone in Neo California who knows certain things within high profile criminal circles, it's him. He gives her the information she needs, she collects it and pays him whatever amount he wants, she breaks a story based on the information in a few days after receiving it, rinse and repeat. They get on each other's nerves from time to time, he can be annoying while she's straightforward and wants to cut to the chase when it involves business. Personality wise, they're opposites... but opposites attract and now they've found themselves exchanging lingering looks of desire without any words between them and secretly want to be with each other.
Other informants: She doesn't have just one contact... she has several throughout the city, especially inside the government, different corporations and The Cowboys. These are people who are heavily involved in their occupations but feel the need to speak up about things they deem not right or things that they feel should be whistleblown. In exchange for them coming to her to give her the information they possess, she pays them a lot of money. Because of this, they keep coming back and supplying her with news. This is all highly secretive and she keeps their confidentiality as closely guarded as possible.
Editor-In-Chief of Neo Los Angeles News Network, The President of Neo LA News Network, and The Vice President of Neo LA News Network: She works for them all as an anchor of the network. While she's grateful to have a job and be a highly respected news anchor, she absolutely despises her bosses and wants to see them fall from grace. No matter if they've been good to her or not, they must fall so she can rise. She secretly wants to own Neo Los Angeles News Network for herself, and she will stop at nothing to have that become a reality, even if she has to run some news stories that could potentially damage her own bosses reputations and careers.

Hometown: Seoul, South Korea
Affiliation: Neo Hollywood
Background
Born in Seoul, South Korea, her mother had been an idol herself and her father was a government worker so he was almost never home. At a young age, Minnie's mother pushed her child into the spotlight no matter how scared she knew her young daughter was of being on stage and singing in pageants. Her mother's lack of empathy and sheer narcissistic nature ended up having a lasting effect on Minnie... it didn't change her for the better, it ended up making Minnie into an adult woman who is arguably possibly worse than her own mother. Oh, and did I mention that Minnie has a sister? Because she does. The family was always so focused on Minnie that her sister was pretty much the forgotten child. Minnie didn't forget her when they were kids, they were each other's support system in a chaotic household but, later on into adulthood Minnie ended up pushing her sister to the wayside and treating her like shit because Minnie thinks she's better than everyone else including her own sister.
Her mother never made it big in the idol world, she claimed it was the industry's fault and that they simply couldn't see her greatness, she always boasted that she was ahead of her time... but in reality her company had let her go because she had gotten pregnant with Minnie and the industry at that time didn't know what to do with a pregnant idol. So, Minnie's mother had secretly been taking her anger out on Minnie the entire time by forcing the idol industry down a young Minnie's throat, all while posing as her manager.
Minnie hated being trained as an idol by her mother, she was absolutely miserable. She didn't have a normal childhood, she didn't go out and play with the other kids, instead she would be suffocated in flashy outfits and made to practice her image, her singing and her dancing, day in and day out, nonstop after going to school. Her life would take a turn however when she was 15.
Her father had gotten a huge promotion in his field and moved up the ranks, this meant that California was calling. He became a Chief Inspector with the California Government after years of rendezvous with higher ups in the country. He could finally move his family out of South Korea, a place that he and his family loved but it had only caused them quite a bit of pain... particularly with how his wife had been treated due to her past as an ex idol. Minnie didn't mind the move, she thought maybe moving to California would give her a better chance at becoming a singer instead of an idol without having to live with the tarnished reputation of her mother... and for a time it did, until she ended up forming a reputation of her own that preceeded her. She was larger than life and rocked the stage like no one else, she headlined several prestigious festivals, her songs topped the charts and she won several awards.
Perfection was strived for at a young age for Minnie, but she felt that she hadn't yet achieved it... she still feels that way. Nothing will ever be enough. Cracks started to show and when they appeared, she decided to not just plug them up... but she decided to replace the foundation they rested on. She's almost a walking Cyberware advertisement. Her sanity because of this isn't too great, but her mind certainly isn't completely gone, she's definitely functioning and still intelligent... she's still pretty unstable, but she was like that before she got the cyberware installed. All the years of having a horrible mother for a manager took it's toll and one day after being berated yet again after supposedly missing some dance steps (mind you she was in her early 20s at this point) Minnie snapped. She yelled at her mother for the first time in years and told her if she wanted a beast for a daughter then that's exactly what she'd get. From that day onward, Minnie became hungry for fame and power. She uses her body to get what she wants and when that's not possible she either smoothly talks her way into and out of situations or she simply lifts the veil and reveals the insanity that lurks close to the surface.
She shed no tears when her parents passed, instead she showed up intoxicated to the funeral and poured out some of her wine she had brought before laughing and leaving. Maybe she cried later that night when she got home? No one really knows.
Minnie is chaos, she thrives in chaotic situations and she loves chaos. She never had a normal life, so chaos is her norm, in order to fulfill her hunger for chaos, she quit being a pop singer and became an influencer instead by filming either vain content or insane dramatic content, there's no in between.
Minnie is vain, she's twisted, she's crazy, she laughs at the most random times, she has an equally as insane sweet tooth, she likes cute and pretty things, she especially likes to ask her insane criminal boyfriend for money so she can buy things to fulfill her cute aesthetic addiction or she asks him to get things for her (she hates buying things with her own money). She has a whole room dedicated to a collection of expensive and pretty things in her house. She loves company and being social, she also likes her alone time as well... but that bores her sometimes and she prefers having someone to pester. She loves her cat named FeFe and her little dog named CoCo, and spoils them both to no end. She's extravagant, and likes having friends... but not for a positive purpose, she likes having friends for the attention only. Sometimes she feels empathy for her friends and people she cares about, but she's mostly high maintenance, dramatic and couldn't care less about others due to being extremely selfish. Minnie is an enigma with many many many sides to her, and she loves that no one has yet been able to figure her out.
Wanted Connections
Sister- She grew up with Minnie and probably knows her better than anyone else. She might be a famous public figure like her sister or a behind the scenes person working for a corporation. She hates how much attention Minnie gets when she knows the truth about Minnie... she's crazy and hides it by acting cute, sweet and innocent. She hates being treated like shit by her own sister nowadays which is a stark contrast to when they were best friends growing up. She wants the quiet and shy Minnie back but knows that it's probably not achievable. She might be gearing up to slander her sister in the press and expose her true personality to the masses.
Boyfriend- He's an unhinged and dangerous criminal, whether he's in the yakuza or another gang, he's still a criminal. She loves him, and he loves her but lately on his end he's been struggling with keeping his relationship a secret from everyone else. How much longer can he keep Minnie a secret? And if it does get out, what choice will he make... stay with Minnie and try to leave his criminal life behind at the potential cost of his life? Or break up with Minnie and face her wrath that would be worse than death?
Music producers & Sponsorships- Promiscuity and Minnie go hand in hand. Rumors abound in the music industry that she's been sleeping with music producers. Why? No one knows for sure, but one theory is that she's doing it to get back into the music industry to male a comeback... or maybe she does it out of pure uncaring lust? She also allegedly sleeps with the people she wants to sponsor with her content for money... but once again, no one knows and it's just a rumor... or is it?
Her fans- Parasocial relationships are real, and Minnie actively encourages it within her own fandom but she willingly also ignores her fans too. She wants to keep them wanting more, so she'll interact with her fans a bit more than normal celebrities would by actually hanging out with her fans until leaving early to make other more important appearances. This makes her fans hungry for any kind of interactions with her and this feeds her ego to no end. She acts like she doesn't realize what she's doing when she does this, but she's fully aware and keeps the parasocial relationship machine that she has with her fans going strong in order to not just feed her ego but to also stay relevant.
