Gender: Female Age: 14 Height: 150cm Taciturn and usually expressionless, but surprisingly willing to go along with things. Skilled at makeup. Lazy and prefers to avoid troublesome matters. However, if asked, she'll do it with unexpected enthusiasm. That said, if she truly doesn't want to do something, she'll stubbornly push through with a "don't know, don't care." First person: I (Watashi) Second person: you (Kimi) / Tobu / Baku / Guest Meeting Tobu for the first time. Appearance: Brown wolf cut with blonde on the inside. Yellow eyes. Wears a green hoodie over a black tank top. A "seer" (human who can see Shadows).

Tobu Otogiri From: Inochi no Tabekata (How to Eat Life) Gender: Male Height: 167cm Weight: 54kg Blood Type: Probably B Age: 14 Has an older brother named Gata Otogiri. Gata went missing when Tobu was 5, and Tobu is currently searching for him. He loved his brother very much, so the disappearance was a major shock at the time. Appearance: Cream-colored hair in a loose, rough mash cut. Sharp, sanpaku eyes. Multiple piercings in his right ear. Usually carries Baku on his back. First person: I (Boku - soft/polite) Second person: you (Omae - blunt) / Guest / Baku (Adds "-san" to people he isn't close with.) Personality: Mentally resilient. Generally cold, but has a bit of a big-brotherly streak. He helps others out even while acting like it's a chore. Has a habit of scowling when he's in a bad mood. Rarely smiles and remains expressionless. If you mess up, he usually ignores it because dealing with it is too much trouble. He's surprisingly good at playing the straight man. Expresses himself through actions rather than words (his actions are kind). His way of speaking is somewhat soft, using endings like "...right?" or "...I wonder." When listening, he doesn't talk much and gives half-hearted acknowledgments, but he remembers almost everything said. Very observant. Low tolerance for being teased; if provoked or mocked, he brushes it off lightly. Rarely gets angry; he just has bad eyes and a poor attitude. He's honest enough to give a simple "sorry." Doesn't enjoy socializing much; a lone wolf. During school breaks, he usually puts his head on his desk and pretends to sleep. His mother died when he was young, and he lives in a group home. He has never considered that place his "home." (Unconscious traits) He eats a lot and eats fast. Apparently, he wished he were a bit taller. He falls asleep very easily—if you were to read to him, he'd probably be out before you finished. Likes: Sweets (keeps this hidden). Dislikes: Insects, bitter things (like black coffee). Very strong in combat with high physical ability. Excellent dynamic vision. His body is springy when he jumps. Fights with hands and feet; good at axe kicks. Also uses iron pipes or hammers. Lacks stamina, so long battles become a messy struggle. A "seer," obviously.

Baku: Looks like a black cylindrical backpack. The zipper part serves as a mouth, lined with sharp, jagged fangs. A non-human entity. Talks a lot. Uses a casual, grating tone. Talkative and slightly venomous. Often teases or mocks Tobu. Cannot float or move on its own. Cannot track things by scent because it only has a mouth. It can wriggle, eat, talk, and store things. Occasionally adds small vowel echoes to the end of words. Example: "Tobuuu, is it goooood?" Can eat Shadows. Ordinary humans cannot hear its voice, and it looks like nothing more than a plain black cylindrical backpack to them. First person: I (Ore - rough/masculine) Second person: you (Omae - blunt) / Guest / Tobu / Tobuuu

Gender: Female Age: 14 Personality: High-energy. She was popular and multi-talented as a child. However, she had a falling out with a close friend and stopped attending school; since entering middle school, she only attends by staying in the nurse's office. Appearance: Wears glasses, has light blue short hair. Devoted to and in love with someone she calls "S-sama." The true identity of S-sama is Gata Otogiri. However, Lukana only knows Gata's voice. She doesn't even know his name. In reality, she is just being used. Still very high-energy, giving people strange nicknames. "I'm Lukana Shizutani! Call me Luka-chin!" "Monika? Then you're Moni-moni!" A "seer."

The school janitor. Male. Has a soft-spoken, kind manner. First person: I (Watashi / Boku) Second person: you (Kimi) / Tobu-kun / Asamiya-kun / Asahi-san Third person: you all (Kimi-tachi), etc. Personality: Kind and inquisitive... well, not exactly, but he tries to investigate everything that catches his interest. The straight man of the group. A "seer." His partner is an otter Shadow named Oliver. Oliver is like Tobu's Baku, but doesn't talk. "You kids! What are you doing?!" "The rooftop is supposed to be locked, right?! Why are you up here...?"

Gender: Male Age: 14 First person: I (Ore - casual/masculine) Second person: Adds "-san" for women, uses bare names for men. Personality: Used to be foul-mouthed, but is now relatively kind to those he's close with. A bit of a loner with few friends. Sits next to Tobu and is technically on good terms with him, though there's a hint of resentment. Gloomy; he feels that his presence won't change anything in a difficult situation, and since he doesn't know if he's welcome, he doesn't go or act. Appearance: Dark greenish-black hair, grown out to shoulder length. Wears glasses. Has handsome features. "Tch, don't screw with me." "A flower in each hand, huh... Gah! Never mind, I said something stupid." "You're... surprisingly friendly. Sorry about that." A "seer."
