I think Shiori would grow her hair long, and Juri would cut her hair short.  I've noticed this tendency of girls who secretly have feelings for each other, they unconsciously try to make themselves look like the other.  Shiori seems like the type who secretly has some sort of crazy math brain behind her, and would be very good at owning a boutique, or any other type of store.

I think Juri would have a job that'd be more stable, and peruse her fencing and modeling as a side.  She always seemed like the practical type, someone who wouldn't want to have the fear of unstable income.

It's alway been my personal canon that Shiori is secretly a really great artist, and when she grows up she does the straving artist thing, never quite in vogue enough to be famous though. She'd always be struggling a little. As a consequence she'd work part time at bookstores or music stores. I can see her growing her hair out a little longer, keeping it in a ponytail and wearing sploppy overalls that have been splattered with paint.

Juri strikes me as someone who would either continue to grow her hair out (like it is in the movie) or would cut it dramatically short, or perhaps go through cycles of doing both. I always imagined she'd end up teaching, either fencing or something like history, or both. I think she'd stop modeling. It doesn't really seem to be her passion it's just something she does to make money. But Juri is classy and no matter her occupation she'd be in style.

That's my two cents for you.

I figure Juri would look quite a bit like Miss Jean Brodie, from (astonishingly) The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.  And yes, the teaching.  One of those very adult, very meaningful teachers with just the right balance of humor and familiarity that when they look at you and wait it's an OMG I melt moment.

Shiori... I don't see Shiori working, so much as working people.  She seems like she'd be one of those people who gets by, by simply walking through an opening or a party and making sure to touch everyone she passes and whisper something to them before moving on, leaving with a fatter wallet and plans.  Lots of small intimacies, basically, as freely spent currency to a perpetual end.

Does that mean she's going to grow up to be a prostitute?


I've put a lot of thought into stuff involving Shiori, I can never seem to decide what would be a good career for her. Since I've been wondering that too, I just went and took one of those online quizzes and filled in what answers I think that she would pick. (Next maybe I'll get around to taking that Self-esteem quiz for her...) According to it, she would do best in these fields.

    * Artist
    * Historian
    * Banker
    * Novelist
    * University Professor
    * Photographer
    * Vet
    * Paralegal
    * Graphic Designer
    * Online Content Developer
    * Webmaster
    * Producer
    * Managing Director
    * Nutritionist
    * Advertising
    * Nursing

These tests are never very accurate, but I figured it would be interesting to give it a shot. Proof that Shiori really would make a good artist after all. That, and apparently I'm not crazy for thinking that Shiori would take a college course in history? On the other hand, banker, WTF? Can she be one of the nice bankers who gives out lollipops?

Maybe I should find a better test. This is actually pretty fun... (According to The Good Person Test, Shiori is a bad person, and she needs to seek Jesus' love to be saved from eternal damnation... And they're serious? Who the hell writes these?)

uhm... well I guess Shiori could be the type, clinging on other males to get someone she could literally take advantage of his wallet ;) a bit like those bunnies in the playboy mansion... wtf? XD

I see Shiori as a pastry chef. I was just having a similar conversation with Maarika on dA-- I've always imagined Shiori to be a rather talented cook, but she seems the type to enjoy sweets more than elegant dishes. I don't want to imagine her as anything else!

But I do agree with Naji, I've always been able to picture her as a secretary of some sort. Mostly because I can see her wearing a little dark-burgandy business affair.
