A short Japanese girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, meanders into the Sorting Hall. She has an open, but not-all-there face and looks interested by the surroundings. < What an odd way for a school to look, > she says slowly, in slightly Osakan-accented Japanese.

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
She thinks hard for a second. "Cheesecake! It's so delicious!" Her English is just as slow as her Japanese.

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
"Carrottop. Barney is round and harmless, but Carrottop has a scary face."

3. What time is it where you are?
"I just woke up." She stares blankly for a second. "It could be any time."

4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.
"Why would I want to do a thing like that? I don't even know any of them."

5. If you are pushing to be in:

A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.
She thinks hard for a few moments. "I still want to make a haunted animal cafe!"

B. Gryffindor – Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument.
She stares blankly for a while. "Kimura-sensei taught us about mythology, but I kept falling asleep. But I was wondering... you know how Zeus turned into a swan to get a woman pregnant? Swans are mean! Why would you let something that mean do that to you? And wouldn't the baby have feathers?" She stops here and stares blankly, envisioning Chiyo-chan soaring with feathered babies chirping around her.

C. Ravenclaw – You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it.
"You must be like Yukari-sensei. Her desk has papers on it, too. She never cleans it, even when it falls over."

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.
"I think a lot! Tomo-chan says I'm good at riddles. I'm not very good with sports. And I fall asleep a lot. But I'm very determined! And I can tell scary stories!"

6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe.
"I can show you how to see if you will do well at something with my chopsticks divining technique! And I have some advertising tissue from the last time I went shopping." She looks in her bag and frowns. "I have a lot of that."
