Morita Fumiko
Description: Fumiko is somewhat reserved, and with her quiet air some people find her hard to approach. She is the type to endure something unpleasant with a strained smile, and then spend the next few hours complaining about how awful it was after it is resolved. Some would say that her patience has been waning since she started college, however.
Fumiko had a fairly normal high school experience; okay grades, diligently worked with her clubs and classmates, graduated and got into college. But anyone who knew her would notice that her behavior began to change after that. She appeared to be more anxious, always glancing around her. She began wandering the campus at night, and would occasionally disappear from class without warning. Sometimes, even walking out in the middle of class.
The truth is that Fumiko expected something to change when she went to university. But it didn't. She felt like she was going in circles. And she saw ahead of her - an almost guaranteed job at the same company that her dad worked at. She began to wonder if her entire life was set in stone already. And she recently began to wonder if she could push the boundaries and see what would happen.
World Building
Ochaya Rie - The owner of Spice Tea, she has a warm personality and can bring out smiles from even the more jaded people that enter her shop. Many high school boys have begun to take interest in tea in order to get closer to her.
Ochaya Maya - The younger sister of the tea shop owner, she is in her own world entirely. Fumiko occasionally works as her tutor, whenever she gets in hot water with her elder sister for poor grades. However, Fumiko has taken an interest in her chuunibyou, partially because she finds it funny, but also because Fumiko secretly wishes she could be bold enough to act so strange in public.
Gakawa Daisuke - A graffiti artist, Fumiko encountered him recently during one of her bouts of wandering. Abrasive and proud, he usually pushes people away - and indeed threatened Fumiko when they first met. However, she convinced him to let her watch him "work," due to her morbid curiousity. It's unclear if he tolerates her because he likes her, or because having her around gives him the possibility of using her as a scapegoat for the police. Either way, they occasionally meet on the streets and alleyways of Tenoroshi in the dead of night.
Spice Tea - In the Northwestern district, there is a small corner shop that sells specialty tea and spices. Fumiko frequents the shop for a variety of teas that she cannot find elsewhere, as well as to tutor the owner's younger sister as an occasional part-time job.
Den-Setsu - In the southwestern district, there is a somewhat racy dance club that sees visits from many college-age students. While the club is a legitimate business, it goes without saying that the owners turn a blind eye to various less-than-savory activities that go on within.
An Abandoned Office Building - This empty and desolate building in the southern district has very little official markings on it, but Fumiko recognizes it as the place she first met Gakawa. An observer passing by daily could note a slowly expanding scrawl of grafitti across the walls, a sign of different artists slowly repainting the entire building, sometimes clashing with previous works, other times building off of them.
