Bio

aro_naito is the Japanophile split-personality™ of

lilian_cho, who happens to be a manga, anime and doujinshi otaku.

(This journal was almost named Ootori, because Lilian's Chinese name is 鳳. Plus, Purity Pair is one of Lilian's joys in life. But Tenipuri is mainly an outlet for her to laugh at gay tennis boys. So.)

Aro Naito is the Japanese translator of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince). The Japanese title is 星の王子さま (Hoshi no Ouji-sama, The Prince of Stars), which Lilian has read out loud up to chapter XIII (not necessarily understanding it, mind). A huge Petit Prince ~~freak~~ fan, she has the book in multiple translations (original French, UK translation, 2000 American translation, two mainland Chinese translations, two Taiwanese translations, one Japanese translation and one in her mother tongue).

The pinnacle of her ~~obsession~~ love is I am Responsible for My Rose, a Harry Potter adaptation of Le Petit Prince with Snape as the pilot/narrator, Harry as the little prince, and Draco as the rose. Yes, Draco's a plant. One day she would like to translate her fanfiction into Japanese, to which end she had already reserved

43nichibotsu.

As she is taking Intensive Second Year Japanese this summer, she's ~~psyching herself up~~ preparing herself by joining several Japanese communities. As soon as she gets her hands on the Japanese textbook, she will make random Japanese posts as testament to her progress. There might be Japanese translations of Lilian's posts, but the split-personality is as lazy as Lilian. So.

If for whatever reason you find this split-personality charming, go ahead and lurk. Or friend. The split-personality will probably friend you back, and will treat you like a friend as much as its split heart is capable of. If the split-personality goes AWOL and you misses her, leave a comment at

lilian_cho.

...by the end of summer the split-personality should master enough Japanese to translate this bio somewhat into Japanese. We'll see.

Because

lilian_cho's ~~userinfo page~~ living space is cramped:

Who's the Slytherin ball of prickliness? *coo* Maru-chan is ♥
