Yaeko Inoue

Yaeko Inoue (井上 八重子) begins her Second year, and yet, her cynical demeanor leaves her in a state of disrepair. Despite her crude demeanor and affinity for trouble, she does well to keep it to herself, unless granted a courteous invitation to join another. 
== Appearance ==
Yaeko typically appears scruffy. Long dark violet hair is tied into a ruffled pony-tail, whilst her fringe and side-hairs are typically cut and neat in a familiar fashion to a Hime Hair-do. Her eyes hold heavy eye-bags, lazily decorated with mascara, and retains a pale complexion. Her uniform is entirely generic if not for the neon Letterman jacket she adorns, featuring a blatant gradient from pink to cyan (top to bottom). It's cuffs and linings are a pastel blue, and appear to have seen better days. She dons a tie upon her white blouse, starkly colored navy blue.
== Personality ==
The young woman, whereas she once reserved an ego the height of Mt. Fuji, now no longer reflects upon her arrogance. Having been dug out from the depths of her room and Hikikomori life-style to attend school. Appropriate to her frugal attendance, her grades are lack-luster, and refrains from commenting on any form of improvement or ambition. Riddled with self-guilt and doubt, she no longer is confident in a secure future in herself, and sees the comfort of her own isolated room her only escape. Her low-wage part-time job does little to raise her self-esteem.
To distract herself from her over-arching trauma, she indulges herself in adrenaline-fuelling tricks, not limited to petty shoplifting and smoking in private. Her delinquent-like attitude only comes alive after-school, though most of it's consequences pointedly find themselves to circulate around the academy. However, they dissuade her none, and continues to propel herself into threatening stunts to cause herself tiny problems, the sort that would distract from the larger issue at hand, for as long as she could. Despite her crude and blase demeanor, she becomes visibly stunted and demure when confronted with her actions, and slips away from any contest to her self-destructive behavior. 
Yaeko is adamant on living in the present because she does not believe she deserves the future, and lives in fear that her karma will eventually swing back to get her, as a result of her guilty conscious. She wishes she could had switched places with ███████.
==Backstory==
Yaeko Inoue was born to the Inoue family on June 14th, ████, to ██████ and █████ Inoue. She was coddled in her younger years, greatly regarded precious and afforded every luxury a toddler would crave. Her spoiled attitude grew into Elementary school, where she would offend dissenters with growing aggression, until finding it fit in Middle School to bully and harass whomever she had wanted. Through her young years did she begin to develop an interest in singing. Her admission was denied due to her lacking practice and insufferable behavior towards it's instructor, Mrs. ██████. Grieving this single failure in her life, she were approached by a young girl, just about her age.
She remembers her name well. She won't say it aloud, but she remembers it, ingrained into her core.Her compatriot, at that young age, offered her singing lessons to begin with. And Yaeko's bitterness was quickly wrought upon her, in envy of her voice. She had thought, with her childish imagination, that she had stolen it somehow, as though she were some sort of fantastical mermaid and the classmate besides her; the witch. This stalemate continued as so, until the concept of bullying her had grown more on her than her own voice. (Though, not to say that she had not developed some skill in her vocals, but ultimately never re-applied.) Finding more joy in pouring milk over her head and stealing her school shoes. What thrills it brought her, what vindication it gave that stupid child.
They graduated Middle School, quick enough. Then, as though reigned in by some obsession, Yaeko found it best to enroll into the same High school that she had. Her bullying, of course, never stopped afterwards, though with some disgruntlement. Despite her confused feelings, embellished by her remarkable persistence to bully a single highschool student, there were .. things, coming up. Cold cases, left and right, no suspect, all victims. She didn't care. She was a teenager- she still is.
It were the case, until that young woman wound up dead just before her eyes. It was a little later than Eight, she'd recall, past the evening glow that hollow wintered night. She were .. Following her. Down the road, past her house, her breathing was a bit- shaky, she couldn't pin down why. That young girl, she noticed her. Started running. Didn't even hear the ███████ that blasted off in the distance. Didn't ████ the ███████████ that came after. Yaeko remembers what happened after. Her ████████ body. Shaking. Trembling on her, she'd fallen to her side, a ████████████████████ toppled her ███████████████ blood ran █████████████ dark eyes ██████████████████████ why did she hold her █████████ it hurts ██████████ it hurts ██████████ ████ █████████████████████████████ ███████████████████████████████████████████████████ dont leave me
 Addendum: The Inoue family has since moved from their country-side to a Port town. Yaeko is pressured to attend school from her life as a NEET.

# Yaeko is heavily based on Hotline Miami's aesthetic.
# She was made listening to /Nightwalk/ playlists.
