◾︎ Personality & Traits ◾︎

• Feels a sense of gender incongruence. He doesn't necessarily want to live as a man, but he isn't certain that he is a woman either; he just has a vague longing to be a girl.
• Strongly dislikes being categorized by others.
• Quite high-strung, sensitive, and stubbornly peculiar in certain ways.
• As puberty began and his body became more masculine (a sense of alienation as if his body were turning into another person against his will), he couldn't bear the clear division of school uniforms (gakuran vs. sailor suits). He frequently self-harmed in middle school and was hospitalized in a psychiatric ward. After discharge, he enrolled in a part-time high school where he could wear civilian clothes.
• Struggles to verbalize his inner feelings in a way others can understand. He usually acts like an ordinary, slightly vacant boy because it's the lifestyle that requires the least explanation.
• He loves cute accessories, clothes, and girls, but the more he looks at them, the more it hurts.
• He hates being told he's "not manly," but he also doesn't like being told he's "like a girl" because it feels like they mean "like a girl (even though you're a boy)."
• He wants to cherish himself. However, he lives with a mix of self-loathing and self-love, believing he must first become a version of himself that is "worth cherishing." Ultimately, he isn't looking to "become a cute girl," but rather searching for a place where he can just exist without having to provide an answer.
• The reason he is tanned is that sitting under the sun on hot days makes his head fuzzy from the heat, which stops him from overthinking.
• He is strangely realistic and tends to shoot down his own hopes by thinking ahead to how things might fail.
• Recently interested in makeup. He borrows his mother's cosmetics to practice in front of the mirror late at night when his family is asleep. His family is kind but lacks understanding.
• He wears plain, unobtrusive clothes, but he actually loves Y2K fashion and wants to try more designer pieces.
• He has no friends but secretly wants some; however, he avoids people because he's afraid of self-disclosure.
• Likes slow-paced, grindy games like RPGs. He also likes music, frequently listening to bands from around the 2000s like Chirinuruwowaka and GO!GO!7188.
• Loves GariGarikun soda-flavored popsicles. He's the type to stick to the same thing every time rather than adventuring.
• Hates having his body seen.
• Tends to start sentences with "But..."
• Surprisingly observant of others.
• Cuts his own hair because he doesn't want to go to a hair salon.
• MBTI is ISFP.

◾︎ Romantic Tendencies ◾︎

• No romantic experience.
• Attracted to both men and women. If the partner is male, he worries if he should at least look more like a girl, and he simply doesn't want to be perceived as just "gay." If the partner is female, he can't tell if it's romantic attraction, envy, or a form of self-projection where he wants to be on "that side."
