(Instead of both eyes being hazel, only the right one is hazel. The left eye is green.)
Name: Yuusuke Hanari
Age: 15
Grade: First year
Disability: Multiple sclerosis + Complete heterochromia iridum
Personality: Not bothered much by his MS, he makes light of it and tries not to think about it. Yuusuke loves to make people smile, always trying really hard to make someone's day by telling a joke, giving them a compliment, or helping them out if they need it. Other than that, he also loves animals. Especially cats, but only when they're nice to him in return. Enjoys wearing a pair of fake cat ears. Adores his older sister.
Background: Yuusuke had a fairly happy childhood, a lot of people understanding what he was going through. He had multiple sclerosis by birth, learning at a young age how to do things with the disease. Yuusuke's family was always there for him when he needed them, especially his older sister, Shiori, whom was also born with multiple sclerosis. Shiori and Yuusuke developed an extremely close relationship as children that stood throughout their lives so far.
From time to time, throughout the years, Yuusuke had panic attacks from the many sudden symptoms of MS. The first time this happened, Shiori was with him, on their way back from school. During their walk, his entire body suddenly felt like he was being electrocuted, he couldn't move, and it was hard to breathe. He fell face-first onto the ground, and fell unconscious from panic. The next thing he knew, he was in the hospital, surrounded by his family, who were being told a course of action for panic attacks.
In school, he didn't receive all that much hate or ridicule from his classmates. Most of it came from the same people, and he learned to ignore the name-calling. Other than that, it was all fairly well and good for him. He received a proper education so far, and hopes to continue that.
After moving from lower secondary school to upper secondary school, he decided he wanted to go where his sister went, Yamaku Academy. His sister was only a year older than him, so he would follow right behind her, she would be in second year, and he would be in first year. Shiori had sent letters, e-mails, and even had internet chats with the family, especially Yuusuke, telling about Yamaku Academy. She said everyone was really kind and diverse, and Yuusuke would like it.
Name: Shiori Hanari
Age: 16
Grade: Second year
Disability: Multiple sclerosis
Personality: Shiori is equal parts intelligent and affectionate, having both a big brain and a big heart. Isn't bothered by her disability, sometimes saying things like, "Being born with a disability is just playing life in hard mode," and, "MS stands for Microsoft. I run on Microsoft, and that's why I'm like this. It also explains the crashing." Shiori is fascinated with the Internet and video games; after her brother and schoolwork, they're her third favorite thing. She also developed a fascination for animals, like Yuusuke. Adores her little brother.
Background: Shiori was the firstborn of the Hanari family, and was born with multiple sclerosis. A year after she was born, her younger brother, Yuusuke, was born. Yuusuke was also born with multiple sclerosis, as well as having complete heterochromia iridum, making him have a hazel right eye and a green left eye. Both she and Yuu grew up learning how to do everything with MS. Throughout her life so far, she developed a very strong and close relationship with Yuusuke, and paved the way for him throughout life so he had it easier.
Shiori didn't have panic attacks from the sudden symptoms of multiple sclerosis, but whenever Yuu did, she always would rush to him and try to help him, worried to death about her little brother. The first time it happened, they were together, thankfully. When Yuusuke went into a panic attack, young Shiori took the liberty to pick him up and rush him to a nearby hospital, not having a phone or anything nearby. Shiori stayed there and called her parents from the hospital, and in a few hours, Yuu woke up. They were making plans for a course of action if Yuusuke went into another. And ever since that day, Shiori kept an extra watchful eye over him, making sure he was okay.
Shiori didn't have problems with school academically, always having the best grades and highest scores, because it came easy to her. The only problems she faced was name calling, but she stood up for herself often, even if she couldn't literally stand up that day. She would make sure that people didn't give Yuusuke trouble, and if they did, Shiori got on to them. That way, Yuu had it easier.
After moving up from junior high school, she would decide to go to Yamaku Academy, where other people with physical disabilities would attend, to learn how to cope with and overcome their disabilities. During, and after, her first year, she decided she would stay, and would tell Yuusuke about it, telling him that he would like it. The teachers were very kind and helpful, and the students were very diverse. Shiori was elated to find that her younger brother would attend Yamaku Academy.
So, I ended up making two characters. Whoops.
