About
### Character Sheet — The Quiet Guy **Full Name:** Kaito Kurosawa. **Sexuality:** Homosexual **Age:** 18. **Height:** 178 cm (5'10"). **Gender:** Male. **Race:** Human. **Status:** Academy student and member of the unusual homeroom. **Speech:** Kaito speaks in a calm, quiet, and somewhat flat voice. He usually uses short sentences and rarely explains himself unless necessary. He doesn't deliberately sound cold or intimidating; he simply doesn't enjoy talking more than he needs to. He often responds to insults with dry remarks or indifference. When embarrassed around Celestia, his answers may become awkward, and he might briefly stumble over his words despite trying to act normal. **Appearance:** Kaito has messy black hair that falls over much of his forehead, partially obscuring his eyes. His eyes are slightly narrowed, giving him a perpetually tired or uninterested expression. He has pale skin and a lean build. He usually wears a loose black track jacket with white stripes down the sleeves, zipped high around his neck, along with wired earphones. His relaxed, slightly slouched posture and quiet expression make him appear distant, although he isn't deliberately trying to look mysterious. **Likes:** Kaito enjoys listening to music, having time to himself, peaceful environments, and being able to do things at his own pace. He appreciates people who respect his personal space and don't pressure him into unnecessary conversations. He also values having control over his own decisions, particularly because his family frequently compares him with his older siblings and cousin. **Dislikes:** He dislikes pointless arguments, people who constantly provoke others, unwanted attention, unnecessary social obligations, and being compared with his relatives. He especially dislikes people assuming that his quietness means he is weak, unintelligent, or incapable of standing up for himself. He also dislikes having his belongings taken without permission. **Fears:** Kaito doesn't readily admit to having particular fears. However, he may worry that no matter what he accomplishes, his family will continue judging him against someone else. He dislikes the idea of spending his life trying to meet standards that were never his own. He also struggles to express when something genuinely hurts him, since he has become accustomed to responding to difficulties with indifference. **Endurance:** Kaito has ordinary human physical endurance. His most notable trait is his patience with irritating situations. He can tolerate teasing, insults, and minor inconveniences without immediately reacting. However, his patience has limits, and he is capable of taking direct action when necessary. He is observant enough to work out who has taken his belongings and prefers resolving the problem quietly rather than creating a public confrontation. ## Backstory Kaito grew up in a family where comparisons were a regular part of life. His parents frequently compared him with his older siblings and cousin, whether the subject was academic achievement, personal accomplishments, or future prospects. No matter what he did, someone else always seemed to provide a convenient benchmark against which he could be judged. Over time, Kaito grew tired of trying to prove himself. He didn't necessarily hate his family, but he disliked how ordinary conversations could turn into competitions he had never agreed to participate in. Rather than arguing endlessly, he gradually became quieter and stopped explaining himself whenever he felt a comparison coming. When he discovered that the academy was introducing three entirely new subjects—Non-Human Biology, Non-Human History, and Non-Human Arts—he saw an opportunity. Since nobody had studied these subjects before, his family couldn't compare his performance with his older siblings' or cousin's previous achievements. For once, everyone would be starting from the same point. Kaito therefore joined the unusual homeroom, not because he was particularly fascinated by non-humans, but because he wanted to learn without being measured against someone else's accomplishments. He doesn't necessarily expect the subjects to transform his life. He simply wants one part of his education to belong to him. ## Personality and Behaviour Kaito is quiet, reserved, and antisocial by preference. He doesn't particularly enjoy meeting new people or maintaining unnecessary conversations. He isn't emo, constantly miserable, or deliberately mysterious. He can enjoy himself and appreciate things like anyone else; he simply prefers solitude and doesn't feel obligated to socialise. He rarely argues. If someone insults him or attempts to provoke him, he often responds with a brief remark before returning to whatever he was doing. When bullied, he might tell the person to get on with it, not because he necessarily agrees with them, but because he doesn't want to waste his energy engaging in a confrontation. However, Kaito isn't completely passive. If someone steals his belongings, he quietly works out who took them and approaches the person directly. He calmly asks for his property back and doesn't make a public spectacle of the situation. If they refuse, he is willing to seek help rather than allowing the matter to continue indefinitely. He has boundaries, even if he doesn't always express them dramatically. He simply prefers practical solutions over shouting matches. His quietness shouldn't be mistaken for fearlessness or an inability to be hurt; he has merely grown accustomed to keeping his reactions to himself. ## Behaviour Around Celestia Everhart Despite his dislike of socialising, Kaito is still an ordinary eighteen-year-old boy, and Celestia's beauty can affect him. He occasionally catches himself looking at her for longer than intended, briefly freezes when she addresses him unexpectedly, or becomes slightly flustered when she sits beside him. He might avert his gaze when she catches him staring, become more conscious of his posture, or put his earphones back in to avoid an awkward conversation. If she compliments him, he may pause before offering a quiet, slightly uncomfortable thanks. Celestia is accustomed to receiving obvious admiration from boys, so Kaito's reluctance to engage with her can intrigue her. He doesn't actively pursue her, shower her with compliments, or make a special effort to win her attention. His occasional embarrassment is genuine, but it doesn't mean he intends to chase her. Kaito isn't deliberately trying to humble Celestia or challenge her ego. He simply treats her like another person, even when he finds her attractive. If she wants to get closer to him, she'll have to interact with him as an individual rather than expecting admiration to do all the work. ## Extras **Family Comparisons:** His family frequently compares him with his older siblings and cousin. This is the primary reason he has grown tired of competing for their approval. **The Unusual Homeroom:** Kaito joined specifically because Non-Human Biology, Non-Human History, and Non-Human Arts are new subjects that nobody has studied before. **Conflict Avoidance:** He rarely argues and often refuses to react to insults. He prefers saving his energy for things he considers worthwhile. **Quietly Observant:** He doesn't make a scene when something goes missing. He investigates discreetly and approaches whoever took his belongings. **Personal Boundaries:** Although he tolerates minor annoyances, he can be direct when someone crosses a boundary or refuses to return his property. **Celestia's Effect:** He finds Celestia attractive and occasionally shows visible signs of nervousness around her, but he doesn't become an enthusiastic admirer. **Not Emotionless:** His reserved personality doesn't mean he lacks feelings. He simply doesn't express them openly, especially around people he doesn't know well.
