& her name is written 加藤 冬子. & her nickname is Fuu-chan. & she is from Kyoto, Japan. & she is 28 years old. & her birthday is January 11th. & she has lived in Luxembourg since 2012. & she speaks Japanese, English and some French. & she smokes, even if just a few cigarettes a week. & her eyesight isn't the best and she usually wears contact lenses, sometimes glasses. & she loves to read, although she doesn't have much time or energy for it in her everyday life. she has read a whole range of classics and prefers older books, although Harry Potter also counts as a favourite.
& she is a soloist with the BG Ballet. & she was a Prix de Lausanne finalist, 2008. & she is a very strong turner and has "turn-out for days" as they say at the ballet. & she's also often complimented for her musicality. & her feet aren't the most nicely arched pair of the bunch, however, and her arms tend towards stiffness. & her favourite ballet is La Bayadère and her biggest dream is performing the role of Nikiya. & her favourite ballerinas count Aurélie Dupont (Paris Opera Ballet - 1 and 2) as well as Shoko Nakamura (Staatsballett Berlin - 1 and 2) and Erina Takahashi (English National Ballet - 1 and 2). & she enjoys performing from both the classical and modern repertories.
& she lives in the attic of an old lady's house whom she lovingly refers to as Dupont-obasan. & she is a closeted bisexual, though she's only had boyfriends up until this point, all of them dancers. & she has a (fangirl-)crush on Claude Bérubé, star dancer at the BG Ballet and dreams of one day being partnered by him, (if not to be the only girl in the world for him). & as she gets older and younger dancers are beginning to overtake her, she has grown increasingly bitter. & her overall inexistent love life only adds to this bitterness and frustration. & she has one sponsor, a rich Japanese man who goes by the name Yamada-san and who has lived in Luxembourg for decades, so now he does his best to support her. & her relationship to her ballet master is ambivalent, she thinks him at heart spineless while simultaneously feeling grateful towards him for the opportunities he's given her.
& she has a British mother and a Japanese father. & her mother, Susan, is a freelance translator and her father, Haruki, a journalist working in the cultural field. & her father inspired her to pursue a career in ballet. & her sister, Chinatsu, lives in London with her husband and daughter, working as a flutist with one of the country's foremost orchestras. & while staying in Luxembourg, she has grown closer to the British side of her family. & her best friend is a classical pianist called Rose, working with the Grand Ducal Philharmonics. & she doesn't miss Japan overly much, as she really likes living in Europe, but does miss her parents a lot.
