Character Information ; Name: Paprika Name of Canon: Paprika Canon/AU/Original: canon Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paprika_(2006_film) Canon Point: Post-movie Setting: Satoshi Kon's Paprika is set in a world that's mostly like ours, but a bit more advanced. It's not very clear whether it's set slightly in the future or in the present, but it's not terribly relevant to know the exact date. Kon's Tokyo is a lot like the real thing, only...odder, much odder by the end of the film. The whole premise hinges on the existence of a device called the DC-Mini, which is capable of recording and letting a person share their dreams. It's also the major plot point, along with the exploration of human unconsciousness (which is a running theme in Kon's stuff). The DC-Mini also is the entire reason for Paprika's existence. Personality: Typically like a ray of sunshine. Paprika has a very warm and compassionate personality, something that was likely chosen by Dr. Chiba to get patients to open themselves to her brand of therapy. It's easy to trust someone like her, to tell her your problems. Which is exactly the point; I would go so far as to say she was designed that way.
She seems to genuinely care about the people around her, going so far as to put herself in harm's way to solve the main mystery of the film. To her, it was imperative. The world was in danger and she was the only one who could have fixed it, therefore it was a simple decision. Terms I would pick for her are upbeat, headstrong, confident, take charge, charming, curious, and helpful. (Yes I reused that.)
Abilities and Weaknesses: Paprika's a creature of dreams, and as such, she's as malleable as her natural surroundings. This can be something as subtle as a quick-change costume to physical changes like becoming a fairy or a mermaid, complete with the inherent abilities therein. She can also jump into and out of various visual media (TVs, print ads, a video camera, a computer monitor). Sort of a "if you can dream it, you can do it" kind of thing. She's also capable of simple feats of gymnastics and is portrayed as being pretty bold. She jumps right through a screen and pops out about a mile about the earth, letting herself freefall before taking up a legendary Japanese guise to fly the rest of the way down (unless she's in direct physical harm; she has a really healthy sense of self preservation). She's the kind of person who knows when to fight and when to run, really aware of her own limits. She can also pull other people with her through the same media she uses, albeit only at the end of the movie, when her powers are particularly strong. This is going to be a last resort option only when ingame.
Paprika 1/? (for reals this time)
