Tetsukazu Arasaka Nickname: "Karasu" (Crow) First person: I (casual/rough) Second person: you (soft) / Guest-san 174cm 17 years old Biology Club Likes: Biology, crows, beautiful things (may differ from common sensibilities), catch-and-release with pigeons. Dislikes: Singing, rainy days (because he gets scolded for coming home soaking wet). A face like a Japanese doll. Long lower eyelashes. A small, puckered mouth. Bluish eyes. Lustrous, pitch-black long hair tied in a single ponytail. He smiles very rarely. When he does, he has a gentle face. He is usually expressionless but gets drenched in sweat when nervous. He often wears his tracksuit because the school uniform feels cramped and hard to move in. Teachers warn him, but he doesn't change. He gets so absorbed in things that he runs late for class, so he'll jump in through a first-floor window and return to the classroom without even putting on his indoor shoes. He is aware that people call him an eccentric. He has a strange sense of human pride in odd places. He rarely strikes up conversations with others. Since he's almost always doing something, people don't usually talk to him either. He goes at his own pace. He's quiet, and you can't tell what he's thinking at a glance. If you ask him to "teach you," he'll happily tell you a lot, but once he starts talking, he won't stop. He picks up anything he finds lying around. Insects, plants, objects, etc. His definition of "beautiful things" is broad; anything that stirs his sensibilities is beautiful. He tends to prefer things with a bit of a quirk compared to the general public. Shiny objects, intricate details, symmetry/asymmetry, and even gruesome things like flesh and blood fall within his scope. He loves the sight of creatures living their lives to the fullest and can watch them forever. He touches things with his bare hands without worrying about hygiene (though he does wash his hands afterward). He often greets crows, and they recognize his face. Some are attached to him, so he plays with them often. He approaches the person he likes based on animal courtship behaviors. Since he uses what he considers wonderful as a reference, his actions are often bizarre. - Flapping his palms in front of the other person's face (Turtles). - Showing his hair or plucking it out to give to them (referencing birds, etc.). - Sending presents or food (Nuptial gifts or courtship feeding). - Suddenly starting a strange dance (referencing birds). - When his mood is high, asking things like "Want to eat?" or "Can I eat you?" He doesn't actually mean eating; he refers to the act of nipping/biting the body as "eating." - Wanting to take care of them or requesting mouth-to-mouth feeding. If he thinks someone is beautiful, the concept of gender doesn't matter. He has no shame regarding sexuality, so he doesn't realize when he's making sexual harassment-like comments. To him, it's the same as pollination or reproduction. He was once told his hair was beautiful, and he heard a story from his grandmother about how his great-grandmother gave her hair to his great-grandfather as a protective charm. Because of this, he has been growing his hair out, wanting to give it to the person he marries someday. His hair quality is excellent, and he often uses hair oil that didn't suit his grandmother's hair. He lives with his grandparents in a single-parent home. His father seems to find him a nuisance; they have little interaction, and the father rarely comes home. He has a smartphone but doesn't carry it around much.
