name: Risa
gender: Female
An aspiring voice actress living in Brookline, MA, where she shares a one-bedroom apartment with her best friend, Branson. Working as a manager at the Coolridge Corner GameStop by day and practicing her voice work with Let’s Plays by night, it’s not the most glamorous life, but Risa and her roommate make do in hopes of saving up to move out west - Risa in hopes of pursuing her dream of voice acting, and Branson hoping to take classes and eventually find work in the animation field.
Before moving to Brookline as an older teen, Risa lived with her parents in New London, CT. While they were loving and well-meaning folks, as their daughter grew older she found them rather suffocating and at times even willfully ignorant of her wishes and aspirations, and ultimately left with little fanfare, simply placing a note on the dining room table saying she was moving in with a friend up north and slipping away onto an Amtrak train headed for South Station with a quickly packed suitcase while her parents were at work.
Shortly after settling in, she took on her current name, after a YouTuber she follows and a Japanese voice actor for the Kingdom Hearts series, her favorite video game growing up. Her birth name is now a closely guarded secret, in part to avoid being found by her parents after her sudden departure, known only to the legal system and those who knew her before she moved.
