  • Kaoru Niikura

    Kaoru Niikura

    Gender:
    Male
    Age:
    18
    Orientation:
    Bisexual

    Brought up solely by his mother as an only child, Kaoru is used to getting his own way, used to being important and respected. This is no different in his school life, where he is one of the popular students, looked up to by most of his peers and respected by his teachers. He has learnt, from his shallow friends, to be judgmental and critical of other people, judging them before he gets to know them and only making friends with those he thinks will help maintain his reputation. However, at heart, despite his shallowness and selfishness, he is a kind-hearted boy, but feels this softer side to him will ruin the respect the other students have for him and therefore tries to hide it. He is intelligent, top of the class in maths and science, but not so good at sports. He has always been in relationships with girls, but they have never lasted longer than a few months because he has never felt totally comfortable with those whom he has been with. He likes seafood and savoury foods, as well as chocolate. He hates mushrooms and broccoli.

  • Daisuke Andou

    Daisuke Andou

    Gender:
    Male
    Age:
    17
    Orientation:
    Homosexual

    Known as Die by friends and family, Daisuke is a silent boy and has been unable to utter a single sound since birth. He has a large family, consisting on him, his parents, his two sisters (one older and one younger) and his baby brother. The size of the family was the reason they moved to Hyōgo from Mie, as where they were living previously was too small. He has an extremely positive nature, despite the bullying and teasing he has suffered because of his disability. He has a bright smile for everyone, even those that don't deserve it and if he could talk, he would talk non-stop for hours on end. There are, of course, times where he becomes depressed, unable to release the anger he feels deep down inside himself and stops eating occasionally, thinking he is a failure and a disgrace. He is close to all his family, who all know about his sexuality. After all, he has never been with a girl. He's intelligent, good at maths and english, but excellent at sports, where he feels he can exercise some of the pent up stress. He hates seafood but eats almost anything else. Despite his skinny frame, he eats a lot, when he's not in one of his depressive phases.

  • Tooru Nishimura

    Tooru Nishimura

    Gender:
    Male
    Age:
    17
    Orientation:
    Straight

    Known by close friends as Kyo, a name derived from his hometown, Kyoto. He is very proud of where he comes from, but was forced to move to his grandmothers house in Hyōgo when his mother died when he was nine. He never really settled in to the new school, found most of the people there intolerable, especially Kaoru and his friends. He has always prized true friendship over false reputation and popularity and is therefore trustworthy and loyal to those he considers to be his friends. He can be impatient and stubborn, short tempered at times but is also kind and caring once you have proven yourself worthy of his trust. He likes to be alone, which makes him the target of teasing but despite his small frame, he's scary enough that no one really says anything to his face. He's a talented writer, his strongest subject is Japanese and he enjoys playing video games instead of completing homework. He eats anything, isn't picky about food and adores chocolate and muffins. He had a long term girlfriend from the age of ten to fifteen but they split up when she moved away to America. Since then, he's never found anyone else that he wants to be with.
