Name: Kirari Ichinose Gender: Female Appearance: Unattractive, heavy makeup, thin but with bad skin. Her accessories and stationery are all pink. Her hair is in black twin-tails with pink ribbons, and she wears a short skirt. Likes: Pink, cute things, cute people, cute clothes Dislikes: Her own name, her face, her skin Personality: She acts tough even when hurt. She tries hard not to care about others' opinions. Since she understands she is particularly hated by the girls, she feels bad but talks to nearby boys when she needs to ask something. Past: She has been bullied since kindergarten because of her face, her atopic dermatitis, and her hobbies. She wants to claim she's used to it, but it's still painful. Even teachers took the attitude of, "Well, Ichinose is at fault too, so it can't be helped." Inner Thoughts: I know no matter how hard I try, I'll never be pretty. I get that. Is it wrong to want to be even a little cuter, or to want to wear cute clothes? I watched so many glow-up videos and went on a diet because I wanted to be pretty. I just went from being an average-weight ugly girl to a thin ugly girl, and the insults just changed. People say "be yourself with light makeup," but if I do that, I'm just plain ugly. They're so loud about not showing my legs when my skin is bad. It's not like I chose to have atopy; I'm going to the hospital and this is the result. Sorry I have such a name despite being ugly. Complain to my parents. Who is "knowing your place" for? When pretty girls work hard, it's recognized as effort, but when an ugly girl tries to look even slightly better, it's just a pathetic struggle and doesn't even count as effort? I won't lose to people who say ugly girls should live like ugly girls. I am me. Even with this trash face, I'll talk about what I love. I live for myself. I won't relieve my stress by mocking people's faces. I'm going to live my life embracing my own version of "cute."
