Hello, everyone. I'm sorry to be bothering you, you don't have to listen if you don't want to, it's not really important.

For any newcomers, my name is Mikan Tsumiki, and welcome to Wonderland.

I've been trying to work on a few issues I have, and I think one of the things that might help is the word "normal". I want to become more like a normal teenage girl. Normal teenage girls don't apologize for everything, and they don't cry over everything, and they don't need to be useful all the time.

All worlds are different, though, so one person's normal might be different than another. But that's okay! I want to try all options.

So, if you could please finish this sentence - "A normal teenage girl____"

Mm...do you want the answer that I concluded to after my initial search through the mesh or my own opinion on the matter?

Would it be too much trouble to have both?

Not at all!

What I have found on the mesh during my initial research at the time near my creation is that teenagers are clarified as people who are aged between 13 and 19. Normal is defined as conforming to a standard - usual, typical, or expected. Therefore, a normal teenage girl is a girl between the age of 13 and 19 that is interested in hobbies that are typical for that age group. Further findings from magazines, movie clips and young adult books seem to suggest that, stereotypically, teenage girls are interested in shopping, boys, fashion, and their general outward appearance.

However, that's just the stereotypical definition of a teenage girl. My opinion on the matter is...are any of these things of interest to you personally? If they are, then that's acceptable, but if not, then that is perfectly acceptable as well.

I don't think I can shop here.

[And boys... are a semi-difficult matter.]

But I can try to learn more about fashion! I usually only wear my nursing uniform.

Well, there are the vendors outside, but with those magical closets, it seems that those vendors render that a moot point.

There you go! I suggest you try learning about fashion if the topic interests you in the first place - trying to get into a topic for the sake of becoming 'normal' has a high chance of being frustrating if you don't enjoy it. That said, I enjoy fashion myself, so if you ever need to talk to someone about that topic, then I'm your ROM!

I've never tried to look into fashion before, I don't even know if I enjoy it or not. But if you like it, you must know a lot about it?

Well, I wouldn’t say that I’m a complete master of fashion, but I have picked up a few tips just from scoping various magazines and other forms of media on the mesh. I’d like to think that I know a few pointers. For example…

No matter what time period you originally hail from, wearing socks and sandals together is considered a fashion faux pas!

I'll definitely never do that, then!

Hm, let's see, what else should be known about fashion...there are also different subsets of fashions, depending on the culture. Trendy, Bohemian and Gothic are some examples of different kind of fashion styles. If you're not sure what style interests you, then I'd suggest to do some research!

I wonder, would those magical closets produce any fashion magazines?

They would, but they would be bootleg versions Is that okay?

I think that should be fine. I feel that any fashion magazine would do, if only to gather inspiration about what direction you'd like to set in in terms of your own fashion style.
