Zodiac Animal:
Personality:
Eri is...a very interesting person. Charming and almost bad-boy-esque, he nonetheless enjoys talking to other people. He loves the thrill of a good party, the beat of a fast song. However, he's a very private person, often keeping all his troubles to himself despite acting like he's pouring his soul out to those around him. Very brutally honest, Eri doesn't hold back when someone asks him for an opinion. If he likes something, he'll raise it up to the level he believes it deserves without anything holding him back. If he believes it sucks, then he'll tear it down without any reservations.
Eri is a hard-worker, getting good grades despite his appearance. He works very fast, often finishing homework that's supposed to take five hours in two hours at most. When he focuses, he focuses. He won't accept it until it is perfect, which makes working on projects with him both annoying yet relieving. If the project isn't up to par, then Eri will spend his own time making it perfect, allowing the rest of the group to also get a good grade. Eri has a very good memory and tends to be quite tight-fisted when lending out his money, but willing to spend it on himself. He doesn't like giving money to others, and if he does, he puts a very high interest rate on it.
Difficult to get through to romance-wise, if you can reel him in, then he's willing to be a wonderful boyfriend.
Deepest Desires:
To be free to be himself, free from the curse and everything that surrounds it. He does not want the reputation of the rat. Another desire of his is to find love. Being bisexual, Eri tends to keep his eyes open.
Hobbies:
- Cosplaying
- Reading/drawing/making manga
- Sleeping
- Making models of things from animes
- Spying on the others
- Watching the Cat
- Watching the Dragon be tortured by God
- Defying God
Greatest Fear:
- Death
- Never being free from the curse
- Living forever in the shadows of the other Zodiac members
- Nobody will understand him
- Falling into a spiral of despair
- Feeling the hatred and the ambition that made the original rat push the cat off
Parents:
His parents appeared to love him until Eri was five. His parents, estranged relatives of the Sohma family, disowned because they had once tried to defy the God, sent Eri as a matter of apologies. There is no doubt that Eri's parents loved him but....
History:
As he was sent as a sort of apology gift, Eri spent much of his time alone. Originally intended to accompany the God, Eri was left to his own devices when the God became attracted to the Dragon instead. Because of this, Eri never had anybody to talk to as a child and kept everything to himself - which is why he still does it today. He knows little about the other Zodiac members and because of this, he has developed an insatiable curiosity to know about them. Even if they are unwilling.
Crush/Lover:
Sohma Shiro
Why? Simply because Eri thinks Shiro is adorable.....and because he's also been intrigued by the cat and, for once, he wants to redeem the Rat in the Cat's eyes.
