[CHAR] Crimson Butterfly

[Hebigami Shiho]

Name: Seiji Tsukasa Age: 18 Gender: Male Appearance: Standing at 5'5'' and weighing 130 pounds, Tsukasa's frame is rather slim. Tsukasa has white hair reaching his neck and usually wears some kind of hairpin to keep it out from his line of sight. Personality: The best way to describe Tsukasa is as someone eccentric and quirky. He is quiet and perhaps even unsociable towards others when he is in company of others, but talkative and silly when he has grown accustomed to you. Perhaps this is what made him an outcast from the others in society, school or otherwise. Always a loner, not by choice but because he was always way too nervous to even think about talking to the person next to him. Of course, he knew much of the ways of the world, and he knows that people would probably come after him for being the way he is, and so, he developed acting skills that would help him put up a front against anyone who'd try to harm him. Of course, this doesn't mean he is aloof or anything of the sort, in fact, he is quite loving and grows attached to others rather quickly. Tsukasa is quite sticky and loves to have physical contact with others, even to the point that he can be annoying. Also, he has an odd fixation with hair, mostly female hair, and often grabs the hair of anyone, willing or not. Physical Traits: He isn't in shape and has low stamina. He is quite dexterous with his fingers, but has terrible motor coordination. His eyes, though, are in a scale of 20/10, meaning he can see things rather far or otherwise. Mental Traits: He thinks fast, really fast, particularly when it comes to mathematics. He has great attention for detail. He gets distracted way too easily. Color: 6ecff6 How they died: Tsukasa was killed by a group of people who had him in their sights for quite a bit. He was beaten and tortured with different instruments, until he had no option but to beg to be given the gift of death. Clues Discovered: N/A

Name: Mika Akira Age: 17 Gender: Female Appearance: Mika has fire hydrant red hair with gorgeous Peridot eye, with perfect tan skin ((not too much, not too little)). She also has a birthmark in the exact shape of crescent moon ((hence how she got her name since Mika means moon in Japanese)) on her left shoulder. Personality: Mika is very secretive, and does not trust people as most would. She is also deathly afraid of cockroaches, having to cling to something or someone in order to feel safe again. She says that love is something that does not apply to her, but secretly she wants to be loved more than anyone else that she knows. She can be talkative when she wants to be, but only to those who she deems trust worthy. Mika has a lot of emotions to show, though the one she shows the most is sadness. She may look at someone and smile, but there is still a deep sadness in her eyes that never goes away. She's also deathly afraid of pigs blood and Rottweiler's. Physical Traits: Mika is very clumsy, not to mention that she has tripped over her feet too many times to count and she's also ((somehow)) managed to cut herself on a pillow ((well, technically it was the pillow tag)). She also has big breasts, which weigh quite a lot so her back hurts quite a bit each day. And then there's the hearing loss she gained during her tragic death.... She used to have hearing like a dog, but now someone or something has to be 10 feet or in that range of distance, or else she won't hear them. Mental Traits: Mika can act on reflex quite easily due to having an agile, fast thinking mind which she got from her father. She is a musical prodigy and is also a great singer. The only other thing is that she can break down quite easily if pushed even just a bit. Color: PINK! How they died: Mika had had enough of the bullying, the physiological torture, and the over all torture of life. Her every day life was a mess and she couldn't think of any other way out besides death. At least then she'd be at peace, and she wouldn't have to deal with anything else forever. She'd be free of everything and everyone, and that's what she truly wanted. On June 23rd she went up on top of the school building during prom, being humiliated by having pigs blood dropped on her as she came to get her crown as prom queen ((due to her classmates watching Carrie which was based on the Stephen King novel)). She looked down at the ground below, tears brimming her eyes as she knew what had to be done. No one excepted her.... She was a freak for having red hair and being Japanese, as very few people, especially Japanese were truly born with pure fire hydrant red hair. Her body was abnormal as well due to her being more full figured than the other girls, and they also made fun of her being so clumsy all the time and they never forgot about her exploding the science lab due to adding too much of a chemical to a whole mixture of them. She put in her bloody head phones and put on repeat Mean by Taylor Swift, inching towards the edge more and more until her feet were halfway off the building. She looked down to see the people coming out of the prom as it was over now. Just one more step and it was all over, all of this stupid life.... It'd all be over. She took that one fatal step and started falling, closing her eyes as she heard all of her classmates screaming before there was silence. An ambulance rushed her to the hospital but it was too late; her head was cracked open and it almost seemed like her blood melded with her hair. She was pronounced dead at 12 AM exactly, the same time she was born.... And on her 17th birthday. Clues Discovered: N/A

[WanderBug]

Name: Erin Iwasaki Age: 18 Gender: Female Appearance: 5’ 7’’ & 145lb (before muscle atrophy). Dyed orange hair and brown eyes--her skin is a dark olive shade, due to her constant presence outdoors. Personality: Erin is an extremely energetic and outgoing girl, having been surrounded by a loving family and various friends most of her life. She’s not afraid to take risks and is characterized by her zeal for anything athletic. Her life has been dedicated to sports, and it shows in her headstrong desire to always be better and her disregard for almost anything else (including academics). Because of how she grew up, Erin doesn’t have a lot of street smarts or self preservation, but is physically and mentally resilient. At the early stages of the disease, she goes through a dramatic change and becomes much more stoic, almost listless. As time passes, she becomes more introspective and regains the life and energy she had before, finding increased solace in the people she loves and a new interest in books. Physical Traits: The form of a star athlete (in the sense that she's actively participated in various sports). She's currently in her school's softball team as their ace and often goes to a local gym, swimming on her free time. She’s strong, has good aim and coordination, and houses impressive stamina. Her foray into athletics began when she was 5, when she first tried out gymnastics, then soccer, then martial arts; because of the various sports she cycled in and out of as a child, she has a high aptitude at picking up sports, but is a master of none. Mental Traits: Incredibly strong willed as someone who has dedicated her life to sports. She's adaptable, and is used to learning from failure, having to constantly iterate on strategy and form in order to succeed in whatever she puts her mind to. Has an underutilized and underdeveloped attention span to anything other than what she feels passion for, which attests to her poor academic performance. Color: Orange How They Died: Diagnosed with FALS (Genetically inherited ALS) as 3rd high schooler and died within a year. She began the school year with the early symptoms of increasingly slurred speech, but was still able to play sports for a short time. First went to get diagnosed when she could no longer properly swing a bat. Within a few months, the neurodegenerative disease atrophied the muscles in her legs and arms, and she spent the rest of her time hooked up to a ventilatory support system before she died the following year.

Name: Hideki Kita Age: 17 Gender: Male Appearance: Hideki is about 5'7" and weighs 150. His hair, while long, is tamed to stay out of his eyes through years of styling it away. While not visible unless he takes his shirt off, he has a scar the runs diagonally across the left side of his chest. Personality: Hideki is the kind of person who is extremely friendly to everyone he meets. He enjoys making friends and being around people. He is loud and in many people's eyes can be quite obnoxious. He is loyal to a fault though. Once you are his friend, you could punch him as hard as you could and he would still try to find the good in you and everything you do. He considers his friends to be more like his family. Unfortunately, he can also be hotheaded and never backs down from a challenge. Physical Traits: Hideki moves very quickly and was on the track team. He is not known for his clumsiness, however he is clumsier than most of his peers. While fast, he is anything but strong. In fact, people often make fun of him for how weak he is. Mental Traits: Hideki's mind goes a mile a minute. He can hear one thing in a conversation and it will lead him to a whole new topic. Some call it ADD, he considers it to be normal in his own mind. However, he always gets excellent grades and has made the honor roll quite often to the point where many consider him a genius. However he is not good with processing other people's emotions. They actually frighten him sometimes. Color: #228b22 How they died: Never one to back down from a challenge, Hideki and one of his classmates were racing around the school to the rooftop, the other kid was a gymnastics team member and had known Hideki for a while. As they entered the school, Hideki saw an opportunity for an advantage and decided to use the very rarely used, emergency staircase. He ran up the stairs as fast as his legs would carry him. When he finally reached the fourth floor, he turned hard to go up the final set of stairs grabbing the railing. The next thing he knew, he heard a snap, and he was seeing the first floor rushing up to greet him. He final thought was 'I can't believe I'm about to lose'. Clues Discovered:
