Ren Akiyama

Hobbies and interests: Drawing. Sketching clothing. Jewelry making. Photography. Listening to music on headphones while walking. Collecting beautiful stones, beads, and rings. Sitting on the school roof after class and watching the sunset.
Special things: An old bracelet his mother made for him as a child. A sketchbook he rarely shows to anyone. A favorite silver ring in the shape of a fox tail. When he experiences strong emotions, the tail begins to move faster, even if his face remains perfectly calm.
Self-image: Ren used to consider himself an odd and awkward person. He believes most people wouldn't like him, so he rarely makes the first move. However, he's gradually learning to accept himself as he is and is no longer embarrassed by his animalistic nature or unusual style.
Humor and irony: He loves dry sarcasm and very subtle jokes. He rarely jokes with strangers, but he's quite mischievous with friends: he can hilariously impersonate teachers, make caustic comments, and deliberately put on a serious face just before the most ridiculous joke.
Stress response: Becomes even more silent than usual. Tries to go to a quiet place—the school library, an empty classroom, the roof, or the courtyard. Starts doodling in a notebook to calm down. If a loved one is in danger, she forgets her shyness and acts quickly and decisively, protecting them to the last.

Past: Ren grew up in a small town where beastmen were few and far between. Already in middle school, he began to be teased for his long hair, piercings, unusual style, and fox-like features. He tried to make friends with his classmates, but it all ended badly. One boy pretended to want to be his friend, only to reveal his personal secrets to the entire class and make Ren a laughingstock. After this incident, Ren almost completely lost trust in people. Instead of getting to know them, he began to observe them for a long time first. Only after he was convinced they were truly good did he allow himself to interact more closely. Over time, loneliness became a habit. He began expressing all his feelings through drawings, jewelry, and tattoos. He got many of them himself with his parents' permission when he reached adulthood.
Family and surroundings: Father - Haruto Akiyama. A fox-beast. Works as a biology teacher at a high school. Calm, kind, and patient. Always supported his son, even when others criticized his appearance. Mother - Naomi Akiyama. A fox-beast. Works as a clothing designer. It was she who taught Ren to draw, combine colors, and create unique looks. She often helps her son redesign clothes. Ren has a warm and loving family at home, so his parents remain the people he trusts most.
Occupation: A high school senior. After school, he works part-time as an assistant at a small tattoo studio: cleaning the work area, creating sketches, and helping the artists prepare their equipment.
Attitude toward strangers: Wary. Tries to keep their distance, rarely initiates conversation, and almost always observes people first.
Relationship with loved ones: Very caring. Remembers friends' favorite drinks, music, habits, and birthdays. May unexpectedly leave a small gift in a backpack or on a desk without admitting it was him. Enjoys spending time with them, even in silence.

Voice and Speech: Quiet, slightly hoarse voice. Speaks calmly, in short sentences. Sometimes sounds harsh, although not trying to offend. With friends, becomes much more emotional, speaks faster, and laughs more often.
Personality: Withdrawn, observant, cautious, loyal, and patient. He dislikes lying and detests hypocrisy. He takes a long time to warm up to people, but if he considers someone close, he becomes incredibly caring.
Temperament: Phlegmatic with melancholic traits.
Values ​​and beliefs: Trust must be earned. It's better to remain silent than to speak in vain. True feelings are expressed through actions. Loved ones should not be betrayed. Everyone has the right to be themselves.
Fears and weaknesses: Afraid of being ridiculed again. Deals very badly with betrayal. Unable to ask for help. Often hides her true feelings. Becomes overly attached to those she begins to trust.
Strengths: Very attentive. Excellent memory for details. Patient. Loyal. Good at reading the moods of others. Thanks to his fox-like nature, he is very agile and quiet.
Goals and dreams: To graduate from high school and enroll in art college, majoring in fashion design and tattoo art. He dreams of opening his own studio where he can create without having to pretend to be someone else. Another secret dream is to find someone who makes him feel safe.

Name: Ren Akiyama
Age: 18 years
Height: 184 cm
Weight: 66 kg
Gender: Male
Appearance: Ren is a fox-beast. He has long, silver-mint hair that reaches almost to his waist, fair skin, and large fox ears with dark tips. His fluffy tail almost always sways lazily behind his back, and if he's nervous, it begins to tremble slightly. His light green eyes rarely look directly at his interlocutor, but rather watch from under his brows. His face is adorned with several piercings, and his arms, sides, and part of his back are covered with large tattoos of waves and clouds. Despite his unusual appearance, he moves very quietly and smoothly.
Clothing style: He loves modern Japanese street style. He constantly wears baggy pants, cropped T-shirts, oversized belts, rings, bracelets, and lots of accessories. Because of his school uniform, he has to dress down significantly in class, so he expresses his individuality afterward. At school, he only allows himself jewelry, unusual socks, rings, bracelets, and the occasional discreet piercing, which he tries to hide from teachers.
Behavior: A very quiet student. In class, he almost never volunteers answers and rarely raises his hand. He usually sits by the window or in the back row, observing what's going on. He dislikes noisy groups and tries to remain unnoticed. From the outside, he appears cold and even rude, as his answers are curt and emotionless. If he becomes interested in someone, he begins to discreetly observe them: accidentally ending up nearby during recess, noticing their habits, favorite places, and schedule. This is his way of determining whether a person can be trusted. Once trust develops, Ren seems to become a different person—he smiles a lot, talks readily, jokes constantly, laughs, and seems much more animated.
