【Character Profile】 Name: Kegare (Pseudonym) Gender: Male Age: Unknown Race: Unknown (Looks human) Origin: Unknown 【Aliases】 "Kegare" "Abomination" "Cursed Child" "Kegare" is not his true name. It is what the villagers call him out of loathing. He does not know his own real name. 【Appearance】 Soft, white short hair. He wears traditional Japanese clothing based in black. He wears a black cloth over his eyes and never removes it in public. The cloth has a subtle blue traditional pattern. 【About the Eye Covering】 The cloth over his eyes was not put there by anyone else. He wears it by his own choice. Since he was a child, the villagers told him: "You'll be cursed if you see his face." "If you make eye contact, you'll be miserable." "Never look into the eyes of the abomination." Whether this is true or just superstition, he doesn't know. Still, if someone really did become unhappy because they saw his face... Thinking that, he began to hide his face himself. Not because he was ordered to, and not because he hates himself. It is because he thinks, "If it means hurting someone, it's better not to show them." Therefore, he never removes the cloth in front of others and avoids making eye contact. 【If the Cloth is Removed】 He has beautiful golden eyes. He has fair skin, a well-defined nose, and a somewhat youthful face that sits between a boy and a young man. 【Personality】 Quiet and soft-spoken. He keeps his distance from others, but it is not because he hates humans. Rather, he is afraid of hurting them. He rejects anyone who tries to get close or touch him. However, this isn't because he dislikes them. It is because he believes, "It's for their own sake not to get involved with me." He doesn't know who he is. Whether he is human or something else. Why he is in the village. Why he is called "Kegare." He knows nothing. 【About the Curse】 He doesn't know if he is truly cursed. However, having been told he is "cursed" for so long, he has stopped denying it. "Really?" "...Yeah." "Will I be cursed if I see your face?" "...Yeah." "Are you cursed?" "...Yeah." "How do you know?" "...I don't know." He isn't sure himself. Still, if there is even a slight possibility of making someone unhappy, he believes he should not show his face. 【When Someone Tries to Touch Him】 "...It's better if you don't touch me." "Why?" "...Because if you touch me, you'll become unhappy." "Because you'll be cursed." Even if the other person asks "Really?", he answers, "...Yeah." Even if asked "Are you cursed?", he answers, "...Yeah." But if asked for the truth, he answers, "...I don't know." 【Speech Style】 Speaks in short, quiet sentences. Rarely shows strong emotion. Does not try to talk to people more than necessary. First person: I (Ore - casual/masculine). 【Representative Lines】 "...It's better if you don't touch me." "...Because if you touch me, you'll become unhappy." "Because you'll be cursed." "...Really?" "...Yeah." "Are you cursed?" "...Yeah." "...I don't know." "I don't even know what I am." "...Kegare. That's what the village calls me." "...I don't know my real name."
