I know there is a character thread, but that is more for artwork and what-not... And I don't think this goes for "little known facts" either...
So anyway, I have always wondered about the characters in DDR. We get little blurbs on websites and sometimes some insight into their lives in old BG videos. So let's share everything we know, and maybe we can claim that DDR has a legit story deep down.
Let's only post facts, not speculation. If anything seems off, let's correct each other.
Anyway, from what I know:
Emi:
Emi graduated high school
Proof- DDR Extreme Graduation vid
Enjoys Snowboarding
Proof- Uh... A lot of stuff, most recently I remember Absolute's BG vid.
Went to the Technical Institute and built a dancing robot. (I'm going to guess Consent Bfu or whatever his name is)
Proof- SN2 website
Emi also has some sort of crush on Rage. I'm not sure if this was stated anywhere, but I think it's pretty implied. Actually, maybe this was on a website.. Hmm...
Alice
Alice used to be a pop star. Now this is where my memory gets fuzzy, but I think she sang in Tokyo but was from Hong Kong. She doesn't like the snow because it makes her homesick. I also think this is confirmed in the Ever Snow video, if that really is Alice. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Proof- DDR Max BG videos, SN2 website Rage
Owns a takoyaki shop with his father... Has a crush on Emi, it seems. I actually don't remember much about him.
Proof- SN2 website Afro
Owns a night club, and writes poetry about Ruby.
Proof- SN2 website Yuni
According to the SN2 website, Yuni doesn't have to wear a schoolgirl outfit anymore, so I guess she has graduated high school. She is also paired with Akira, right? And in SN2, she wears a Tran shirt.... This is just totally me being a IIDX fan, but maybe she's into IIDX?
Jenny
Uh... She plays basketball
Proof- SN2 website
I don't know much else. I think there's some stuff on the new kid in DDRSN2 who wants to be a ninja or something. I don't know much on Ruby, Baby-Lon or the Zukins, and some of the older characters are kind of a mystery as well. So let's compile some more stuff!
