Red Panda Diaries Scrapped Character Stories - Hoshino

    Story 1 - Hoshino Tokimori's Character Story 

     So, as you saw before I cancelled Red Panda Diaries, Hoshino's arc mainly focused around a play that was happening that Ino was really nervous about. In one chapter of her story, we would've met this new girl named Lindsay Yukimune, whom Audrey would notice that Ino was a little uncomfortable and awkward around. Ino would've repeatedly made up excuses to get out of practicing or rehearsing with Lindsay, and this would make Lindsay really sad, not because Ino's refusal offends her, but because she knows the reason for her excuses. There'd be a flashback chapter from when Hoshino was in elementary school, let's say about 3rd grade-ish, which would show why the two were so awkward around each other. When they'd first met, the two of them were in a play together, and Ino had been chosen as the main role. During a rehearsal, though, Lindsay had begun crying on-stage, and this concerned Ino. But Lindsay's secret was mastering her emotional control so well that she could make herself cry or even have panic attacks on command and be able to stop them just as quickly. Since Ino has mind-reading powers, she heard Lindsay inwardly bragging about this, and she began to greatly admire Lindsay for her skills. Lindsay even taught her how to do it herself to make emotional scenes more impactful. However, on the day of the show, since Ino was much weaker at the time, she ended up passing out during the first act and needing to be rushed offstage, and, since this was back before Minoriyama District did understudies (for some reason), the play was left without a main role, forcing it to be postponed. When Ino woke up, all she heard was Lindsay talking about the incident. Lindsay was looking out for Ino, but her wording made it sound like she didn't want her to be there at all. This caused Ino to quit theater altogether, and it explains her stage fright today. The story would mostly focus around the two reconciling while Hoshino got over her stage fright, with Audrey and Ruby's help.
