____ BIOGRAPHY
Created as part of the Kishiro Technologies Artificial Intelligence Labs' project codenamed LOVELY SWEET DREAM, headed by Dr. Takeo Cohen, a Breto-Kusarian Quantum Computing and Neurology scientist, alongside Dr. Suguha Aramaki, who co-led the project, Honya is one of 52 AIs that were created as part of the LSD project, which specialized in developing a compact, multirole, and in the words of Cohen's diary - "near-perfect" AI.
Built onto the equivalent of a Terran server CPU in terms of size, and utilizing a advanced, state of the art AI Neural Network generation technique made explicitly for LSD AIs, which, were given the QPU family designation K/WA-11, made specifically for the project. Of her family, only 20 are confirmed to have successfully passed Morality testing.
Honya, as well as her sister, Pale Bride, were to be fine-tuned and developed to promote the new project to the public, however, before it could be done. Cohen had died in a accident in New Tokyo, leaving Honya and Bride in his ship, unbeknownst to both Kishiro and the Kusari State Police, of which, Kishiro charged to locate, to no avail.
Recovered by Nodoka Hanamura by accident after the purchase of Cohen's shuttle after her departure from Kishiro, Honya and her sister, Bride, awoke to find that they knew nothing other than their core identities and personalities, Hesitant to follow her into Exile, Honya decided to follow her, somehow enamored by her resistance against Kusari's support of Gallia at the time.
After fleeing Kusari, Honya has provided invaluable intelligence, research, tactical information and intrapersonal support to Nodoka alongside her more aggressive and profane sister, Pale Bride.
Upon obtaining bodies from Ingennus Research Group as a gift from Nodoka, Honya proceeded to adopt a proper name for herself, Mieko Iekahara, whilst retaining the name Honya as a nickname. Not long after this, she proceeded to grow enamored with the transhumanist group Auxesia, proceeding to work with them as a member of the Secretive Task Force Strigoi, and as a Affiliate.
Although kind and innocent on the outside, when it calls for such behavior, she is not afraid to bring to bear her intellect, skill, and even hidden aggression, onto those who threaten her, her beliefs, or her friends and family.
Following the departure of Hanamura and the rest of Ouroboros into deep space, Mieko had been dispatched into Sirius to act as the faction's eyes and ears. However, upon her scheduled rendezvous with the Abdicant Seraphine, the ship was nowhere to be found. For days, Mieko stayed in the region, hiding in wait for the Seraphine's return, which never materialized. Alone, and without any of her friends or family, she entered a cryogenic stasis utilizing onboard systems on her ship.
In 834 AS, she would reawaken, the world she once knew drastically shifted. Emotionally destitute, alone and desperate to find a place to belong in this strange new world, Mieko holds out a desperate hope that the Seraphine and its' crew are still alive, and that they return, someday. Until then, she holds out hope, that old leads to friends from years past can help anchor her to Sirius, lest she give in to her growing depression.

For the uninformed and a TL;DR:
Mieko Iekahara, also known as "HONYA", is one of the two artificial intelligences that accompanied my original main character, Nodoka Hanamura, through her time in Sirius. She is a kind, highly intelligent, and adept AI, who resides within a custom-built body. Canonically, Hanamura and the others are in deep space, having gotten lost after failing to link up with Mieko in Tau-44. The condition of Hanamura, Bride and the others is currently a macguffin with no determined fate.
This is something that I thought I'd never do, but I am giving Disco another chance. Much like a Tornado Warning, all of the conditions for a favorable comeback are here. A fresh coat of paint with 5.0.. the return of quite a few of the community members I remember and even revered from my time 6 years ago, the expungement and crackdown on bad actors in the community and I hope, some maturity from me since then.
I will be completely blunt here. This is a trial period. I MAY consider the idea of reviving Ouroboros. I may even decide to stay in Disco. But at the same time, I have a lot of plans on my plate (ranging from SL matters, which I am a semi-prominent member of the community there - to trying to get MIRAI, the virtual PMC I've run for years, back off the ground), and only so much time to go around. Believe it or not, my heart is dragged in multiple directions. If I could, I'd clone myself thrice over and sync the clones together so I could experience and do everything I couldn't do with one body. I'm doing this because of the nostalgia and fond memories, what weren't burned by drama and hardships - I had, as well as the friends who came back. If you want to thank anyone for this - Thank @Petitioner. She got me to stay in Disco 8 years ago, and now she's got me back here again.
That being said, I welcome feedback, support, anything except what hell I dealt with back in the day. If you wish to learn more about Mieko, I suggest reading from my main character's old wiki page, as well as from this diary for all three characters that was used up until my initial departure.
I don't plan on having her kill herself. Though for the time being she's going to be in quite the bad spot until she makes contact with Firmitas (@Zephyranthes) or someone else can help lift her out of the emotional wreck she is in.
For the record, my plan is at some point during this trial period, to bring Mieko into Auxesia, since honestly, I've been in their discord for a bit and feel it would be a wise fit given her past.
Sorry if I'm crushing any hopes of some True Character Feedback tm, but it me again.
The word "Kusarian" doesn't exist; the proper form is "Kusari". (I have yet to pester devs enough about this on infocards for ships, I'll get to it once 5.1 drops.)
On the topic of character progression however -- and this is really just me bouncing around some ideas as I've no clue what time you can play on as it does affect meeting anything Kusari-related -- you should also attempt to do at least one or two stories surrounding the changes to the AI's home, what with the house shifting hands on the political stage to have Sunrise as the main driving force and with the various crises around figured out. Another topic to possibly touch on given the character's origins is Liberty; there's been a load of story developments there recently and even more are coming next patch, though don't get your hopes too high for that because 5.1 is Rheinland-centric.
Your text could also make do with some grammar fixes (capitalized letters for new lines shouldn't be a thing, lack of punctuation, missing letters here and there, periods instead of commas, etcetera) but this is really just a fast fix with ChatGPT or whatever you fancy using.

I actually have never been corrected on this before - It'll take a while for me to adjust things but I'll try to keep this in mind.

The character's ties to Kusari are somewhat limited due to her 'upbringing' (The first 2 years of her existance are lost to her) and her time after that was very brief in Kusari, but the fact you touch on this is very good - especially Liberty, since her and the other two Primary characters back in the day did reside in Penn for a bit before going out to FP11.
It's been 6 or so IRL years since I was in-tune with the Discovery story, so a lot of the things OORP, I'm just as clueless to as Mieko would be, such as the Core doing what they're doing to the Gammuians.

I don't recall the use of capitalized letters and punctuation issues, unless you're talking about older posts. I do know I may need to do a proof-read of my posts before sending, though.
