|Personality|
xxxxDevone's personality begins at her being a Classist, repulsed by the poor. She strongly believes those who are in troubled financial circumstances are lazy and irresponsible, undeserving of pity. Not only does she look down on them but toys with them as the classic victim, tricking and tempting them with money deals in their time of desperation earning her the titles, Ursula and Loanshark. Ask her about it and she'll justify her actions, the blame falling back on the victims for their naivety.

xxxxUnsurprisingly, she is sadistic finding delight and hilarity in exploiting others. The sense of control when a strategy is implemented and goes according to the plan has an almost adrenaline like effect on her; a thrill she can’t quite explain. However winning a chess match or any other competition does nothing for her; she has to win in a match that ruins lives. With the stakes raised and the unpredictability of human behavior, comes the thrill she craves. Devone also appears apathetic to the costs and damage to individuals involved in the scheme, no matter how long or how far the game goes. In fact, she'll drag it on and worsen matters if it's interesting enough.

xxxxDespite her malicious behavior, she isn’t a real psychopath. Those she cherishes like her family has her undying loyalty and respect. Devone is willing to go to great lengths even if she'll have to make sacrifices to keep her loved ones happy, healthy and safe. Unfortunately, her loving side is rarely shown to those outside the Kim bloodline. She is cautious to place trust on anyone else, preferring to break others than to be broken in a dog eat dog world. It might even be argued that she isn't truly sadistic and apathetic but that she has convinced herself to be, adjusting after key experiences.





Image|Strengths|
Networking/Strategic Thinking
xxxxFor a young girl of her age, she impressively succeeds in building connections with those seated in high places internationally when the opportunity arises. She refuses to suck up to advance the social status/wealth ladder but knows well how to appeal to interests in a way that benefits her. Equipped with such connections, Devone could get away with murder.
Perceptive
xxxxShe can detect even the smallest detail in appearance, habit or behavior. Her observational skills come in handy when she is socializing, catching people off guard. It is almost as if her vision goes beyond 20/20 matched with mature insights.
Spunky/Stone face
xxxxShe has an indomitable spirit, the will to overcome anything and be subdued by nobody. A formidable presence make her a force to be reckoned with. Devone also wears a complementing mask that reveals none of her emotions even under high-pressure situations.
Silver Tongue
xxxxLying, manipulating and public speaking. If her networks fail, she'll talk her way out.
Violinist
xxxxShe can play many classical pieces off by heart beautifully, tutored the instrument since she was able to carry one. Devone stopped playing after her mother died because it was her who encouraged it the most.

|Weaknesses|
Emotional
xxxxHer moods fluctuate from one thing to the nextImage by the most trivial daily triggers and it is easy for her to be overwhelmed by stress. It is a wonder she manages to bottle it behind a pretense of security. However, after everything she does and goes through it makes sense.
Holier-than-thou
xxxxDevone will never take the fall, always resorting to placing blame on anyone else even if it is far from the truth. Even in her head, she will continue to justify and reason it. Due to this, she never really acknowledges her shortcomings and does little to improve as a person.
Workaholic
xxxxShe has many secrets surrounded by a crowd of connections who don’t really like her for who she is but because of her family’s name and reputation. They are more focused on the power of such an influential family and without it, nobody would give a care in the world. Knowing this much about the reality of networking in her current circles, she is always striving for independence and giving herself worth.
Clueless in Romance
xxxxShe has been in numerous fleeting relationships never going further than first base (French kissing) but falling in love and risking her heart in the process, she has never done. Secretly she would like to have a sentiment of love but she is also afraid of the susceptibility of interfering with who she is and her independence.
Chili
xxxxShe can’t endure any hot, spicy, chili food. Devone would lose her composure wholly upon consumption of the substance.




|History|
Image
Why she's a Classist—
xxxxShe took pity on a homeless man she encountered on her way home from school. Day after day, he was always there and getting skinnier as he occupied the sidewalk with a gloomy expression as if awaiting his impending death. With the desire to help, she gave the man a taste of wealth that was enough to sustain a good living for a time. Unfortunately, she came across the man once again a year later and followed him to see the good she had done. Her expectations were wrong, seeing into a brothel where the man began drinking and treated women in a disgusting manner. From that day forth, Devone was disgusted by poor people altogether exposed to that at the age of 14.
Why she's Cruel—
xxxxDevone used to be an average girl in a close-knit circle of friends who went out every weekend doing something new. However, her outlook on friends changed when she accidentally overheard them talking about her with spite. It turned out they were all along jealous of Devone's looks, wealth, and generally happy lifestyle and were only acting as her friends to gather secrets to eventually spread and ruin her. That was when she decided that two could play at that game, getting her revenge and enjoying it. She tried to dust the matter off as befriending the wrong people but it was as if she was on a bad luck streak in friends. Everyone was out to get her behind the smiles on their faces. Concluding that the world is just cruel, she decided to be the cruelest. Never again would Devone hand out her trust so easily but many times over would Devone plan more schemes for entertainment.
Why she's at Airdalen, Japan—
xxxxDevone entered Airdalen Academy in her Sophomore year after leaving America behind to chase the mystery surrounding her mother's suicide. Her mother, Chia, was written off as a suicide when her body was discovered floating at sea after Seung received a letter with her last goodbyes. Devone and her father were grief-ridden, the loss coming as a shock to the both of them. They were a happy family as far as she could remember and her mother’s death as suicide didn't make any sense to her. Devone studied the letter with suspicion, comparing it to the many other papers scattered around the home to see if the handwriting truly matched her mother's. After sending the letter and papers to specialists, her doubts were proven correct meaning the suicide story was fabricated and making it easy to deduce the suicide was in actuality a murder. With this evidence and her wealth, she tried to persuade the authorities to continue investigating the case but they wouldn’t budge. Either they were lazy or someone much higher up was pulling the strings. With her own contacts, Devone decided to investigate further following up on every lead that eventually brought her to Japan.




ImageImage
|Family|

xxxxHer family name Kim is primarily attributed to the success of the Kim Airlines brand that entered the aviation market long before she was born. Their logo is of a lotus. As a lotus grows from muddy water, it achieves even in difficult circumstances. It was chosen to represent how the company gives a guarantee of delivering on their promise of safe flight.
xxxxThe company is more successful than ever under the management of her father Seung Kim, branching out to provide aircraft for the military. He resides in the United States and while he doesn't approve of his daughter's move to Japan, lets her run free.

xxxxHer mother Chia Reizei's family name is primarily attributed as descendants from the Japanese clan who was a powerful family of regents.
Regents were titled Sesshō (摂政) appointed to act on behalf of an emperor before the coming of age and empress regnant. They were also titled Kampaku (関白) when acting as a chief advisor to an adult emperor. During the Heian era, they were the effective rulers of Japan. Little else is known about the ancestry with the clan spreading out from Japan over time but there exists a library within Tokyo created for the preservation of the eight centuries of the regents’ documents known as The Reizei Remembrance Library.
xxxxThe Shoguns (将軍) as military dictators became the de facto advisors or rulers as necessary after the Reizei family moved on. Still, the Reizei ties to the Emperor are alive. Even though it has been many centuries since a Reizei took the Emperor's ear if Devone wished, she would be welcomed as next in line for the advisor position as Reizei blood.





|Residence|
ImageImageImage

xxxxDevone lives with two men who serve as her bodyguards, drivers, right-hand men, both specifically and carefully selected to protect and assist her in investigating her mother's murder case. The contrast between the two men is almost laughable; one coming from a career as a policeman and the other a criminal.

xxxxGoro Watanabe was recruited by Devone for their mutual interest in the murder case. Goro was one of the officers assigned and it greatly annoyed him that the police department dismissed the case so quickly and carelessly. Devone offered him the job noticing Goro's disappointment in his current line of work, relieved to find another who also believed that her mother did not commit suicide. Devone won't admit it but he is the closest company she has to a friend.

xxxxIsaac Vanburen was on death row for his crimes too numerous to count, ratted in by his own family. If not for their testimonies, he never would have gotten caught and that is what earned Devone's interest. His meticulous nature along with his experience made him a useful ally if he would comply. Facing death, he decided following a girl around wasn't a bad deal. Devone bailed him out and his criminal record was wiped clean. Devone doesn't trust him completely but he's continuously demonstrated loyalty and obedience.

================================
"We're on the edge right now,
I wish that I could say I'm proud,
I'm sorry that I let you down,
All these voices in my head get loud,
I wish that I could shut them out,
I'm sorry that I let you down."
================================





















































It was an energetic day. That is the most generous description Ryou can give. Hikaru and Trixie thoroughly made sure that his full attention shall only be theirs. There was no way he disliked it. But, it made him realized that he is getting too tall for those Aquarium rides. There was nothing he could do about it. He sighed at his aimless thoughts and looked at his brother and cousin who were enjoying a sea animal puppet show.

Ryou decided to stay under a nearby tree out of people's eyes. He had enough attention from the mothers and girls. They were clearly annoying but he ignored it to the best of his ability. He did not want to sour the day for the children. At the very least, he was able to garner a reprieve even if it was just for a short while. He was not tired physically but it would have been different if she was here. It would have been a perfect family day.

Is that why it feels useless? Ryou looked at his hand as he recalled the warmth and passion. He then closed his hand and squeezed it with cold judgment. Soon. His eyes grew clouded as it showed him a scene that is heavily imprinted in his very existence. It constantly returns him to that time that shackled him by his own choosing.

"Nii-chan!" Hikaru ran towards Ryou who finally relieved the pressure from his hand. The cloudy silver eyes changed into that of sterling silver in clarity. "It was so fun!" A bright and innocent smile made him set aside that crippling sensation. "That's good to hear." He gently patted his little brother's head. "It was!!! Can we go back here again?" This time Trixie tugged on his hand with her expression that is the definition of a puppy's eyes. "Of course."

The two children happily jumped for joy. Ryou's face softened as he watched Hikaru and Trixie clearly feeling happiness from his curt agreement. "We should go. It is almost time for lunch." He reached out his hands for the two to hold onto which they did without qualms. "Ryou-nii, can we eat at the KaFoffers?" This statement was seconded by Hikaru. "I want to eat there too Nii-chan! Please?" He cannot refuse them. "Okay." He checked on his phone where is the nearest branch and found one at the nearby mall. Soon, they were on their way.

xxxxxxxx"No offense taken." Devone replied plainly, closing her purse and waiting for Shiori as she wrapped up her purchases and changed into more comfortable shoes, the ones she picked for her. "Now shall we get the dreadful responsibility the school has given us over with?" The girl smiled, Devone smiling back. She was confused, thoroughly in fact but it looked like the senior president was enjoying herself. "Where to start?" Devone asked with a hint of sarcasm, to add to the dreadfulness of it all. She tapped her own cheek as she looked about for an idea to hit her. "It's a shame your Kris Kringle is--- speak of the devil."

xxxxKazuki Miyamoto appeared, attempting to sweep Shiori up and away. "And you." Devone raised a brow as he talked to her in the middle of making her fellow female classmate noticeably uncomfortable. "It is rude to interrupt a date." Now, Devone didn't know much about Kazuki or Shiori's personal matters but she was very skeptical. "Well, you are rude.""Now. Shoo." His eyes never left hers, glaring as they did despite holding Shiori close like a protective lover. "What an observation. Slow, aren't you?" Devone retorted, taking in stride that she can be indeed rude. She then chuckled, covering her mouth politely unable to refrain. It was just too amusing how the so-called player was actually refusing to get involved with a girl. After all, he had little discipline or self-control. She wouldn't be surprised if he had STDs. "Haha, how charming. It looks like I've hit the jackpot." she winked at Shiori, seeing as she was now immune to him and they did share that little secret about how his anger came to be.

xxxxShiori was most certainly not pleased, retaliating his every advance syllable by syllable. She'd never witnessed the sensible school president so flustered and ill-mannered. “I wouldn’t be on a date with someone that speaks to a friend of mine as if they were a plague rat... or that has been involved with my cousin.” Devone was taken aback, her eyes looking away just a bit as she wondered if she heard correctly. It sounded like Shiori had called her a 'friend' and defended her. “I can get you another date with Tsukiko instead. You would enjoy that more, right?” Devone wasn't familiar with that name so it likely was not a senior student. Although it wouldn't be hard to find a replacement girl for a street rat like Kazuki anyway, the thought earning yet another chuckle. “You can get out now.” Shiori was not kidding around, her mood obviously soured from this hiccup in their shopping time.

xxxx"Now, now, Mi-ya-mo-to-san~" Devone kept the honorific but said his name as if talking to a child. "I think you should quit now while you're ahead." She leaned the side of her face against her hand and smirked. "She is rejecting you, just in case you didn't know. Any further and it'll be assault, police, and a, "Don't let him get away with this, officer." from me." Her eyes narrowed and her smirk grew a little wider. It would be a piece of cake. They were in public. Sometimes being a woman felt powerful. "Are we clear?" She smacked her purse against the palm of her hand to show her resolve then pointed it at him, returning the dangerous look in his eyes with her own pair of red pools.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" This is certainly a funny day. Instead of being offended or displaying outright concern for his own wellbeing. Kazuki cannot help but find these girls, really.... really... "You two can find employment as a comedic duo." He manages to settle his laughter again. He tightens his grip on Shiori's wrist. "Miss Sea B*tch Obaa-San seems to misunderstand me." His smile is truly symbolic of his hedonistic trait. "When did I ever care about that?" True to that, he has many encounters with the law and he never backs down from them.

The reason why Kazuki avoids the publication of his many run-ins with the law is another story. But, it is clear to everyone in the public who sees them that he is not affected and finds his situation hilarious than anything else. He is clearly not taking the two girls seriously and that is nothing new from him. Actually, that is something to be expected from him. "Well, I look forward to it." He looks at Shiori with a glint in his golden eyes resembling a predator sinking its teeth to the flesh. "Call them. The chase will excite me more. But you are coming with me either way. Miss Pipsqueak."

Right now, Kazuki's devil-may-care personality is at its peak. He needs a distraction and whether it leads him into a deeper hole of chaos, like being in jail or whatever. It will be a good thing for him in his opinion. The adrenaline of it all will keep his mind wandering to seemingly pointless matters. "As for rabies, let's go mad together then. After all, we already shared saliva." He licks his lips delectably and instead of a clear course of action dragging Shiori. He easily scoops the shorter girl and throws him over his shoulder like a sack of rotation. "Hey everyone! I am kidnapping this girl for a date! Call the police okay?" He shouts in the middle of the mall.

ImageKazuki clearly shows no fear and is having so much fun before casting a glance towards Devone. The hunter's glee swiftly changes into that of an animal giving a final warning before it pounces for the killing bite. "You plague rat as described by your friend here." He points at her with his middle finger. "Go f*ck yourself since that is the only way you can ever get laid by anyone seriously."

It is clear Kazuki hates Devone that if he is not having fun with Shiori. He will... On second thought, "This will be fun." His eyes start to gleam in devious delight as his gaze looks far beyond Devone. "Why not get HIM involved? He is your dog isn't her?" It is hard not to notice the guy with his features. He shrugs his shoulders "Then again, you probably can't handle that right, plague rat b*tch?" He then starts to walk away with Shiori in tow while making sure that the small girl does not get away from his hold. "Now, let's finish this date." This time he smiles happily like a child with a new toy towards Shiori as he continues to walk away.

"Haha, how charming. It looks like I've hit the jackpot."


If Kazuki was a jackpot… it would be one of misfortune rather than luck in her opinion, which she could tell her company would agree on. Smiling back at Devone, Shiori pressed her lips together to hold back her laughter. They were still in public and Kazuki attracted enough attention on his own. She didn’t want to draw in any additional sets of eyes on the three of them. The onlookers were growing alarmingly high as it stood, “I would toss that ticket in the trash, I can’t imagine anyone other than Tsukiko that would cash that in.” Shiori added, teeth pressing into her lower lip to contain her amusement. It was the first time that someone had joined her in one of her verbal assaults. It… was actually kind of nice to have an ally.

"Now, now, Mi-ya-mo-to-san~"

Devone coming to her aid was surprisingly… nice. They shared similar misunderstandings regarding their outward personalities, especially at school, that was becoming clearer. Devone could have easily left her to deal with Kazuki on her own, and yet she stayed. Violet eyes lit up a bit, touched by her classmate’s choice to stand by her and come to her defense.

“I think you should quit now while you're ahead.” “She is rejecting you, just in case you didn't know. Any further and it'll be assault, police, and a, "Don't let him get away with this, officer." from me." "Are we clear?"

However true shock claimed Shiori’s expression when Devone mentioned police. The cameras would support their claim, and she was incredibly touched. Until now she had felt so incredibly alone, but Devone… Rhys… even Aeon had come to her aid when she truly needed a helping hand. Perhaps… extending her heart and lowering her guard was a step in the right direction after all, “Kim-San…” Shiori whispered under her breath without even realizing it. The conviction in Devone’s eyes had Shiori convinced that she meant every word that she’d threatened Kazuki with. Despite her current situation, in Kazuki’s grasp, she felt incredibly lucky to have bumped into Devone. Sure… it would take some work, a lot of work, but it felt like she was witnessing the start of her first female friendship.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" "You two can find employment as a comedic duo."

And the heartwarming moment was ruined by the hellion of Airdalen Acamdey’s voice bellowing in laughter, of course. This made the raven haired heiress sigh, a weary expression crossing her features as she gathered up the energy to resist, pulling hard on her claimed wrist just as he seemed to have decided to tighten his grip. It didn’t budge, the girl fragile like a porcelain doll, “No one cares about your opinion. Laugh all you want.” She rolled her eyes up at him, fuming, her lips curling into a pout as she failed to pry herself free from him.

"Miss Sea B*tch Obaa-San seems to misunderstand me." "When did I ever care about that?" "Well, I look forward to it."

Blinking as he referred to Devone in such a derogatory way, Shiori used her free hand to do something surprising. Instead of remaining on the defense she used it to shove at his chest, even to pound her fist against it, “This is why I don’t like you at all! You’re so vulgar!” She snapped, raising her voice this time. He had gone too far. Regardless of Devone’s moniker as Ursula, calling her a… it was deplorable. Low grade name calling was one thing, but he had crossed the line by using a demeaning word like that to address her, “A man wouldn’t speak to a woman that way. Calling her Ursula would be one thing, but you went out of your way to be utterly vile. I hate guys like you!” Her glare had become a violent storm of emotion, staring straight into his predatory eyes with concentrated disdain.

"Call them. The chase will excite me more. But you are coming with me either way. Miss Pipsqueak."

Despite her attempts to pummel him with her fists, Shiori had little choice in where she went. Height difference as well as their individual builds all worked against her. She didn’t weigh anything in comparison! Hitting him, thrashing, and even kicking, Shiori found herself quite literally snatched up in the middle of the mall.

"As for rabies, let's go mad together then. After all, we already shared saliva."

“D-Don’t say that like I even had a say in it! You attacked me!” She snapped at him, flush returning to her face as that was not something she wanted to become public knowledge. Mistletoe and a sudden kiss… it had simultaneously flustered the icy class president and broken her secretly hopeless romantic little heart all at once. It was not at all how she imagined her first kiss going!

"Hey everyone! I am kidnapping this girl for a date! Call the police okay?"

“Are you a psychopath!?” Shiori snapped louder than she even thought possible of herself. The attention he was drawing, especially given her family reputation was not good for her. Even if someone called the police, while the public would likely side with the Kitogawa heiress given her pristine history… her mother would be a different story, she would be forced to move back to the Kitogawa family estate… which was not an option. Going backwards… she couldn’t let that happen, “Just put me down! I don’t want to go on a date with you! You idiot!”

"You plague rat as described by your friend here." "Go f*ck yourself since that is the only way you can ever get laid by anyone seriously."

Pounding her fist into Kazuki’s back as he insulted Devone further, Shiori was trembling with rage. Never before had anyone handled her so carelessly and with such groundless familiarity aside from her school bully Takumi, Kyo.

"This will be fun." "Why not get HIM involved? He is your dog isn't he?""Then again, you probably can't handle that right, plague rat b*tch?"

Who was Kazuki talking about? There were a few guesses in Shiori’ ahead, but she hadn’t really paid a lot of attention to Devone’s comings and goings at school. She had been swept away by her own interactions for once, Akira, Rhys, Cassiopeia, Sora and Aeon… bit by bit she felt a little closer to them all. It wasn’t a lot of progress especially with Cassiopeia and Aeon, but her world was expanding slowly but surely. Devone was always a passing curiosity of hers, but she had just recently made it beyond Shiori’s walls. She… earned a spot as one of the people she decided she cared about. That she would make an effort toward.

"Now, let's finish this date."

Was he serious!? Did he truly believe they could have any fun after what occurred between them to this point? If anything she was his hostage not a date! How could he smile like that after every cruel thing she had said? If he had known her role in Devone smacking that girl… would he still smile at her like that? Certainly not… but she didn’t want to find out how things would change when he was taking her further and further away from Devone, “We weren’t even on a date to begin with! I was just trying to buy you your present for the Kris Kringle event at school!” She protested. It was almost, almost admirable how insults seemed to roll off him as if he were impervious to being upset by the opinions of others. She… wasn’t like that at all. Perhaps it was a good thing to not have Kazuki’s level of self assurance… but she felt that having a teaspoon of his devil-may-care point of view wouldn’t be the worst. At least she wouldn’t be working herself up into a frenzy over the way others perceived her all the time. Still… it was Miyamoto, Kazuki… the first kiss thief!

"My, oh my." Devone thought aloud as Kazuki fled the scene with Shiori thrown over his shoulder like a Santa's sack. Well, it was nearly Christmas and it appeared he claimed Shiori as his gift. "Whatever shall I do?" She folded her arms, her purse tapping a shoulder. It was clear as day Miyamoto-san detested her with all his heart. How precious Fuyuki must be. . .

The dark-haired senior cast a casual glance over at Ryou hand in hand with a pair of children.

"Why not get HIM involved? He is your dog isn't he?"

Devone was many things... 'Ursula', the school loanshark, and maybe even every other insult like, 'Miss Sea B*tch Obaa-San' and 'plague rat' that had left that street urchin's lips. She'd heard it all that it didn't leave a dent in her feelings anymore. But a babysitter she was not nor did she have any desire to pry Ryou away from his own babysitting. That would be irresponsible now, wouldn't it?

Kazuki saved her some trouble, alerting the authorities himself that he was 'kidnapping for a date.' She watched as the police and proper authorities took off after him, only one staying behind to hear her account. With a honey-sweet voice, she told him everything he wanted to know and everything he wanted to hear.

"No, officer. I don't know why he would do such a thing but he's always been troubled."
"Well, you know how it can be... Sometimes, boys just can't take a hint."
"He's nothing at all like you, officer. What is your name?"
"I'm so pleased they have men like you in the force. It makes me feel safe in situations like these."

When all was said and done, Devone sighed left on her lonesome, and fidgeted with the moon pendant that dangled down her neck. Somehow, it felt like it may choke her.

"Calling her Ursula would be one thing, but you went out of your way to be utterly vile."

The class president's words echoed in her head. Why did she care so much about what she was called? Why now? Devone scrolled through her mobile phone, her finger slowing down as it located the assignment Shiori had completed on her behalf. The seconds ticked away slowly. She was starting to feel guilty, wasn't she? That she didn't do more like chase after in pursuit?

Even if I wanted to, I'm wearing prada.
