Name || Yurin Akizuki
Age || 17
Gender || Female
Sexuality || Heterosexual
Title || The Awkward Girl
Appearance || For a rather socially awkward girl, Yurin stands at only 5'5" and is everything that tries not to stand out- but does so accidentally. With her long, plum and strangely enough, uneven hair- a result of attempting to cut it but failing- and brown eyes, many have commented that Yurin looks like a lost lamb all the time. It isn't hard to see why; a worried expression is almost always on her face and she always behaves as if she is trying to get away from something.
When it comes to clothes, Yurin has a bad streak of luck in which she accidentally always picks the wrong clothing size, resulting in her uniform looking much shorter and form-fitting than the others. She's also mostly covered in bandages and band-aids due to her clumsiness.
Face Claim || Mikan Tsumiki of Super Danganronpa 2
Personality || Meek, timid and a worrywart, Yurin is a very, very awkward girl in public. Constantly anxious and seeming as if she's terrified of everything, she has a fragile personality and can even be considered a crybaby by most. She is rather reliant on her friends, as she considers them the only people who can understand her problems and certain personality tics. She can read people's faces, but overthinks too much on what they could possibly think of her and tends to stay away from people who seem like they wouldn't appreciate having her around at all.
An avid reader of many novels, Yurin has a tendency to run away from every single "protagonist trope" that happens to her in real life- like somehow getting a seat next to the most popular guy in school, or finding strange items in her attic or basement. Under all of her anxiety though, Yurin is rather kind and caring, trying to look out for her friends. She tries to find ways to repay them for sticking up for her all the time...even if it costs her conduct grade. She doesn't let it bother her just as long as her friends are having fun.
Attracted to ||
Natural Enemy ||
Likes ||
Music - Yurin usually listens to music whenever she's alone or has free time. It's how she calms herself most of the time. While she's content with listening to her friends' music, she has a particular taste for electro swing and jazz.
Romance Novels - She has a fondness for romance novels, though this backfired as she grew terrified of protagonist tropes due to all the problems a protagonist normally goes through in novels.
Iced Tea - In her house, she's commonly found downing several pitchers in an attempt to calm herself down. It's mostly a tic and she doesn't even notice until she sees the empty pitchers.
Dislikes ||
Cords and Ropes - She finds them very easy to get tangled up in and avoids them like the plague unless needed. Even then, she's very cautious and would much rather prefer not to interact with them at all.
Loud Sounds - While not always getting surprised by loud sounds, she greatly dislikes them. Whenever someone plays loud music in the classroom she tends to show slight discomfort whenever she hears it.
Stolen Shots - She doesn't like being taken pictures of out of nowhere. She gets pretty embarrassed whenever someone steals shots of her, but only shows a bit of annoyance and a lot of embarrassment when someone does.
Hobbies ||
Doll Making - Yurin makes dolls in her spare time. While her room is mostly tidy, she has an entire shelf full of dolls she herself made. Sometimes she makes them based off of her friends, and sometimes she makes do with whatever design she feels like making.
Watching Others Draw - Yurin doesn't really draw, but she likes watching others do so. According to her, she likes how they start from simple images to very well-defined and nice pieces of artwork.
Playing RPGs - It's not uncommon to find Yurin playing several RPGs whenever she has the chance to. They're the only kinds of stories she's willing to be the protagonist in, as normally protagonists get better and more powerful.
Strengths ||
Ventriloquism - Surprisingly enough, despite her shaky voice, Yurin is a good ventriloquist. She hasn't really made many dummies, but she's rather good at imitating other voices as well as disguising her own.
Aide - Helping out as an aide in the nurse's office comes with its perks. Yurin can get away with helping her friends when they're not feeling well...or they just really want to get away with sleeping in class.
Quick Hands - For some reason, Yurin seems to have very quick hands. She could swipe something small off the table in a blink of an eye and can grab things almost undetected.
Weaknesses ||
Medical Condition - Yurin has a medical condition in which her wounds don't exactly heal as fast as others. This prevents her from participating in anything too physical, and as a result she covers herself almost head to toe in bandages.
Anxiety - Yurin is a very anxious person. She gets very scared of almost everything and is always overthinking things. This causes her to run away from most potential social opportunities. She also has a problem with speaking in public.
Clumsiness - Yurin is a very clumsy person. It's not exaggerated, it's just that she has a bad tendency to trip.
History ||
Born to a rather simple family, Yurin had always been a very timid girl. As her father was a seaman, she didn't get to see him often and was usually left with her mother or her grandparents. Always the quiet type, she had always been an easy target for bullying from her classmates at school. After one of her bullies pushed her, she ended up getting a rather large gash and found out that her wounds didn't heal as easily as others did. This made Yurin very paranoid about it, covering herself in bandages and band-aids and having medical supplies ready on hand whenever she needed it.
Due to the bullying, Yurin shied away from most social interaction and preferred to keep to herself, hiding in the playground or the library at every break time to ensure that her bullies couldn't find her. All of that changed when a rather strange boy transferred to her school. With a terrifyingly short temper, the first time someone tried to pick on him, he immediately resorted to intimidating them as well. Soon enough the boy became the most feared person in their class, and Yurin made it her duty to avoid him like the plague out of fear that he would bully her as well.
Much to her dismay, she found out that the boy was a son of her family's friends, and that his family was coming over. She quickly got about to hiding away, but- as almost all parents do- the other family arranged for the two to be put in one room so that they could "get along". Yurin found the boy looking through some of the books she owned and found that they had similar interests; and that the boy was a lot friendlier than she first thought. Soon enough she and the boy befriended each other and became close friends.
Over the next days, Yurin found the amount of bullying decreasing. At one point, when one of her bullies cornered her, the boy came out to defend her and swore himself as her "protector". Yurin found herself becoming rather reliant on him and soon, she discovered that she was starting to form a crush on the boy.
All that ended when they had to move away due to some financial reasons. Saddened at the lost of her best friend, Yurin took to reading romance novels and creating dolls. After one of her dolls was found by a scout for Seven Stars, she was scouted to the school, along with the reason that she had rather good grades. Yurin had spent a year at Seven Stars.
And her life turned upside down when she saw her "protector" wandering the halls of their building.
