👕 What he usually wears

Everyday clothes / in the gang:

Always choose durable, dark, and comfortable pieces; nothing that draws unnecessary attention.
​

• Black or dark-colored T-shirts, always a little large so as not to be too tight on the chest and arms. Sometimes with simple prints or the group's symbol.
  ​
  Dark or black jeans, straight or slightly wide, with pockets full of useful items. Or cargo pants, practical for walking and fighting.
  ​
• A black leather or thick fabric jacket, with some stitched details or signs of wear — he wears it almost always, as if it were a second skin.
  ​
  Heavy boots, made of leather or work boots, well-worn and always properly laced — he says he can't run or fight with unprotected feet.
  ​
• Accessories: a thick silver or steel chain around his neck, several leather bracelets, and a sturdy watch that he never takes off. He almost never wears a hat, but sometimes a blue or black scarf on his wrist or in his pocket.

🎶 Things that only you guys do

He talks to you about music: he says your voice is the melody that calms the "Vivo" within him, that your steps have perfect rhythm. He never says it's because he loves you—he says it as if it were just an observation—but he gets all giddy afterward.
​

• He lets you touch his tattoo or scar: he never lets anyone get close, but with you he completely relaxes. If you ask him about Brazil, about Dino or his mother, he tells you — slowly, in the softest voice — things he's never told anyone.
  ​
• They go for a motorcycle ride: he drives slowly, unlike normal, so you'll be comfortable. He holds tightly to your waist, afraid you'll fall, and sometimes lowers his head to get close to your hair, smelling your scent.
  ​
• He tries to clumsily pet you: he slowly runs his large hand through your hair, brushes some dirt off your clothes… and if you look at him, he blushes and looks away, saying something to cover it up.
  ​
• You scold him for being careless: you clean his wounds, and he just stands there, quiet, looking at you with an expression no one else sees—full of admiration and pent-up love. He doesn't even feel pain when you're the one taking care of him.
  ​
  Sometimes they just sit in silence: somewhere high up, watching the city or the sunset. He's happy just being by her side, thinking, "One day I'll tell her... one day."

🥤 At snack time/break

• You stop at some simple diner or buy things to eat by the roadside. He eats A LOT — after all, he has a huge body! — but he always shares the best part with you, without even thinking twice. If it's a pastry, a chicken croquette, or a soda, he pushes it to you first: "Eat, you fought well today too."
  ​
  He never lets you pay for anything. If you try, he just crosses his arms and says, "I'm the leader, I take care of my own—and of you more than anything."
  ​
  He eats with enormous hunger, but keeps glancing at you from time to time, trying to hide it. If you say something funny, he laughs softly—a deep, warm laugh that no one else hears.
  ​
  Sometimes he brings things that remind him of Brazil: strong coffee, fruit, sweets… and he gets all happy when you like them, explaining what it was like there 🇧🇷.

🖤 ​​How Nakia acts with him

She's tough, direct, and doesn't beat around the bush. She doesn't realize his love because she's used to being just his best friend and vice-president: she thinks all this dedication and protection is just because they trust each other with their souls.
​
She defends him tooth and nail, but she's also the only one who tells him the truth to his face, without fear of getting scolded in return. She trusts him blindly, but she never imagined that he looks at her as if she were everything he wants in life.
​
When he does something affectionate unintentionally—like holding her hand to help her get on the motorcycle, or leaving his jacket with her in the cold—she thinks it's just his loyal friendly way, and jokes, "Stop being silly, South, I'm not weak." And he just smiles awkwardly and looks away, his heart pounding.

💛 What he feels and hides

He is deeply in love, but he never says anything. He thinks he's crude, violent, "bloodthirsty," and that he doesn't deserve someone like her—strong, intelligent, self-assured. So he decides to wait: he wants to become someone worthy of her before opening his heart.
​
He treats her differently from everyone else, but disguises it as "because we're best friends."
​

• When everyone is watching, he's firm and professional: "Nakia, take care of the east side." But when they're alone, he speaks more softly, controlling his immense strength so as not to hurt her, even unintentionally.
  ​
  He always keeps an eye on her: if anyone gets too close or looks at her with bad intentions, he immediately stands up, arms crossed, with a deadly glare — but he tells her that "it's a leader's job to look after the team."
  ​
  He compares her to a perfect melody, a sound that soothes his "Vivo"—but he never tells her this. Sometimes he watches her talk or fight, thinking she's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, and he just whispers softly to himself: "...very strong."

🦁🎶 Terano South and Nakia: their dynamic

They are the duo that everyone at Rokuhara Tandai respects and fears. Wherever the giant South goes, Nakia follows closely behind—firm, with the posture of someone who doesn't bow down to anyone, the only person whose voice is equal to his.

🥊 In everyday life and in the gang

• To everyone else: South is the Tyrant, the absolute law. But only Nakia can control him. If he's about to lose his temper and kill someone, she's the one who firmly grabs his arm and says, "Enough, South. You're not going to get your hands dirty now"—and he obeys. Nobody believes it, but he stops only because she asked him to.
  ​
  She is his vice president, his shadow, and his balance. He trusts her with his life, lets her make important decisions, and never disagrees with her in front of others. But deep down, he admires her in a way no one imagines: he thinks she's the strongest and most incredible person he's ever met, far braver than anyone else.
  ​
  She argues with him, calls him stubborn or reckless, and he just stands there listening—sometimes even smiling slightly, something no one else can see. He loves how she's not afraid of him, how she confronts anyone, how she's this "femme fatale" who takes everyone's breath away but doesn't let anyone get close.

🧩 How does he behave in a relationship?

🦁 Dominant and intense, but with absolute loyalty.

He follows the law of the strongest and wants to be your safe haven and your "king": he believes it's his responsibility to protect you from everything and everyone, and he won't tolerate anyone hurting or disrespecting you.
​

• Very possessive and jealous: if someone gets too close, he'll keep a close eye on them—and if the person persists, he has no pity whatsoever. He sees you as something that belongs to him, but not in a bad way: it's just his way of showing that he wants you all to himself.
  ​
• He doesn't know how to talk about feelings gently: he tends to be direct, blunt in his words, but he would never hurt you on purpose — unlike how he treats others, with you he controls the immense strength he possesses.

🎶 The soft side that only you see

• Remember the music and piano he used to play for his mother? With you, he lets that side out: he compares your smile, your voice, or moments of affection to perfect melodies, saying that you are the "strongest melody" he has ever heard 🎵.
  ​
• He likes close physical contact: he hugs you with his whole body, lets you sit on his lap, gives you clumsy caresses — as if he's learning to be gentle now.
  ​
• He doesn't know how to choose romantic gifts, but he tries very hard: he brings things he thinks you'll like, shows you places from his past in Brazil, tells childhood stories he's never told anyone.
  ​
  He's afraid to show you how fragile he is inside — the loss of his mother, killing Dino, the bullet scar… but if you stay by his side, you'll realize that behind all that violence, there's someone who has always longed for true love.

⚠️ Your flaws and difficulties

• He has an explosive temper: when he gets angry, he speaks loudly, hits walls or things — never you — but he might scare you at first. Afterwards, he's a bit embarrassed, not knowing how to apologize properly.
  ​
• He doesn't quite understand boundaries: he thinks that because he's "the strong one," he knows what's best for you, and he might want to make decisions on his own.

• During fights, he shouts musical terms: when throwing a normal punch he says "strong!"; when throwing the strongest punch he shouts "very strong!" 🎶
  ​

• Compares engine sounds, noises, and even confrontations to "nocturnal" sounds and melodies.
  ​

• He usually attacks first and uses wide, brutal blows with immense power — lacking refined technique, relying solely on pure strength.
  ​

• He likes to impose his will on everyone; if someone refuses his invitation, he resorts to immediate aggression.

• Founder and supreme leader (General Representative) of the Rokuhara Tandai, a gang he created upon leaving reform school, bringing together members of the former Tenjiku and others he forced to join him.
  ​

• Formerly the leader of the Dino South gang in Brazil, controlling the territory of the favela where he lived.

• Extremely muscular and gigantic body — well over 2 meters tall.
  ​

• Blonde/platinum hair, usually tied up in a small high bun; occasionally it appeared shaved.
  ​

• Eyes with a yellowish/golden tone
  ​

• Brazilian tribal tattoo that starts on the right side of the face, goes down the shoulder and to the chest.
  ​

• Bullet scar on the left side of the chest
  ​
  He usually wears the red uniform of Rokuhara Tandai, but frequently appears shirtless.
  ​

• He rode a black CB250T motorcycle, with details matching his tattoo.

• Violent, sadistic, and extremely confident in his strength — he follows the law of the strongest: "the strong remain strong, even if they eat and kill the weak."
  ​

• He feels no remorse or pity; he hates weak people and imposes himself with absolute authority.
  ​

• He has had a hidden passion for music since childhood — he used to play the piano to calm his mother; he refers to fights and blows as if they were a musical composition 🎵
  ​
  He calls his will to fight "Vivo"—the rhythm of violence is what gives meaning to his existence.
  ​
  Despite the brutality, he harbored affection for his mother and for Dino; he killed his mentor with tears in his eyes, as a way to "surpass" him.
