Out-Of-Character Information
What is your Minecraft username?: vivialavida
Discord: vivialavida
What is your time zone?: GMT
Describe your activity on the server: The majority of my time, I'm online! Especially in my free-time. If there are days I’m not, it’s typically due to a busier schedule than I intended.
Do you acknowledge that if you are inactive, you will be demoted?: I acknowledge this.
School Employee Role you are applying for?: Counselor
In as much detail as possible, describe the employee role you are applying for: A counselor offers a supportive and safe environment for students to discuss what bothers them, whether it's social, academic, or personal. A part of being a counselor is helping students develop healthy coping strategies for stress or anxiety. They can work individually or in-group sessions. Not only do counselors support a student's mental well-being, but they also support a student's academic progress.
What experience, in general, do you have in roleplay?: I'd say I have a good bit of experience. I used to play SRP in 2022, by a different username, and I've played the fantasy RP too. I’ve taken part in many different roleplays after that, too.
Why do you want to join the School Employee faction?: I'd love to turn my roleplaying around a little bit! From playing the role of a student to playing the role of a school employee! School counselling is also a job I see myself pursuing in the future.
Link(s) to any previous applications and appeals on the server: N/A
What are your current role(s) on the server?: Currently, I have one 12th-grade character whom I've developed greatly within a short amount of time. I'm looking to have another, because it does get a little repetitive being just one character all the time, and as I mentioned, I’d be interested in trying this out for roleplays.

Situations
During a work-shift a student starts cursing at you for being pathetic. How does your character react?:
Akari stays calm. She doesn't take offense at being insulted by students. She's aware that a student acting out can be a result of a bigger issue within their personal life. She does, however, address their behaviour as unreasonable regardless, and gives the student a warning. If said behaviour is continued, it will result in her giving the student a detention.
You notice two students are physically fighting in the hallway, – multiple punches have been thrown – how does your character react?:
Akari acts quickly to break up the fight. She wastes no time getting both students separated, either of them (or both) taken to the nurse's office if there are any injuries. She asks any witnesses for their feedback on the incident, and asks both students who were involved. She will write both of them up for detention regardless.
Another school employee is clearly acting inappropriately, doing something very dangerous on the job. How does your character react?:
Akari advises the fellow employee to stop what they are doing and informs them that what it is they are doing is dangerous and why it is dangerous. She will then make an SLT report and let them handle it from there.
When in the employee break room, how does your character act?:
My character stays polite with co-workers.
Provide us with at least three detailed /me's of your character whilst in your chosen role:
/me traced her fingers slowly along the edge of her lanyard, grounding herself as she focused entirely on the student seated across from her. Her posture remained open and relaxed, shoulders slightly lowered to appear approachable. Her gaze stayed soft yet attentive, carefully observing subtle shifts in the student’s body language, from their hands to their facial expressions, while giving small, understanding nods to show she was fully engaged.
/me adjusted her seating position slightly, angling her chair to face the student more directly while still maintaining a comfortable, non-intimidating distance. She rested her hands neatly in her lap. Her expression remained calm and neutral, with a hint of concern shown through softened eyes and a slight furrow of her brows as she continued to assess the student’s emotional state.
/me sat at her desk with a straight yet relaxed posture, carefully reviewing a stack of student files spread neatly before her. She flipped through each page with slow, deliberate movements, her eyes scanning every detail with focused precision. She occasionally paused, tapping her pen lightly against the paper as she processed the information, before jotting down organized notes in tidy handwriting, ensuring all records remained accurate, confidential, and up to date.

Full Name: Akari Yoromoto

Backstory
My path to becoming a school counselor didn’t happen overnight. It grew slowly, shaped by years of noticing the people around me. how some carried their burdens quietly, how stress made even small things feel impossible. I wasn’t the loudest person in the room, but I became someone others could lean on, even when I didn’t always feel like I had the answers myself.
In school, I saw students struggling in ways no one seemed to notice. It was frustrating, and sometimes painful, to watch people suffer quietly, knowing they needed support that wasn’t there. That feeling stayed with me, and it’s what pushed me to study psychology and counseling. I wanted to understand people better, to be able to help in ways that actually made a difference, to be there for people when they had nobody else. Learning about emotional health, communication, and behavior gave me tools, but it also reminded me how much work there is to do, and how easily someone can be overlooked.
After graduation, I worked in places that tested me. Some situations were exhausting, some were heartbreaking. There were moments I wasn’t sure I could handle it, but each challenge taught me how to stay calm, observe, and respond thoughtfully. I learned the importance of listening without judgment and taking action without rushing, even when I felt the weight of someone’s struggles on my shoulders.
I chose to join KHS because I want to make a difference here. I want students to feel safe, to feel like they can be heard without fear. I want to help them navigate what’s hard, so they don’t have to carry it alone. That’s why I do what I do, and why I’ll do everything I can to make this school a place where support and understanding come first.
Motivation for Joining KHS:
I’ve always felt a strong desire to help others navigate the challenges they face, especially in school. Joining KHS allows me to create a safe and supportive environment for students, where they can feel understood and heard. I want to provide guidance that helps them manage their emotions and overcome obstacles, something I know can make a lasting difference in their lives. KHS seems to me like a place where my skills can be meaningfully applied. My goal as a counsellor is to contribute to the well-being of the students and offer the academic and emotional support they need.
Why should you be accepted over the other applicants?:
I believe I bring a sense of patience, attentiveness, and professionalism that make me well-suited for this role. I notice details that others might overlook, and I am careful to respond thoughtfully to each situation rather than acting impulsively. Students can trust that I will listen without judgment and provide guidance with their best interests in mind. Beyond my skills, I try to offer a calm and approachable presence that encourages openness and trust. I am committed to supporting not only the students but the school as a whole, helping KHS maintain a positive and caring environment. I want students to know that I’m trusted and I can do my best to cater to their needs.
