Naoko Ozawa

Naoko Ozawa (小沢直子) is a Third Year Student in the Love Letter universe. 
==Backstory==
Naoko Ozawa had always been a very ordinary girl growing up. She has loving parents, had good grades, and had many friends throughout her early years of school. Possessing no special talents and being just an average girl never bothered her, as she had no reason to want to change. 
At the age of 12, her loving parents granted her a phone for her birthday because she was soon to start junior high. From that point forwards, she spent nearly all of her time on her phone and eventually stumbled into the wrong people on the internet. Young and innocent, she trusted everyone she met, ultimately leading her to get herself into trouble with dangerous people. Diving deeper and deeper into the internet and finding communities filled with people doing illegal activities, she was able to befriend some new and interesting people, thinking that they were harmless like her. She was a charming young girl that was easy to get along with, but also very absent-minded, which made her easy to take advantage of. Naoko was a tool for them, used to obtain more information on others since she was so trustworthy and easy to befriend. They would steal others information and use it against them to make money, or even sell things such as their credit cards and identity, but that is only what she had seen. The dangerous community of people very well could've been doing worse things, but didn't want to involve herself even more than she already had. Seeing these people do such awful things scared her, but she didn't know how to get away from them without upsetting them, as she had befriended a couple members. After expressing her fear to them and saying she no longer wants to be friends with them, they began to harass her and stalk her online and in real life thinking that she would get them caught. Ozawa's blindness to the dangers of being too open online caused her to live in fear and shut herself off from the world. She began distancing herself from her friends and her grades began to slip up. Day by day she was becoming more bitter and spiteful, but knew she had to portray that everything is okay. Naoko then made a promise to herself; She decided: "I will never let anyone take advantage of me again."
Now, Naoko runs an online blog called called "Neko no Kizu" (猫の傷) which she uses to post and harass other students or people online. She stalks others and saves every bit of information she can get on another person. Growing up apart of such a bad community turned her into a two-faced girl who will manipulate others to get what she wants. From the outside, she is sweet and friendly, always talking to others and trying to be helpful. No one knows she is the one who runs this hateful blog because of how she puts on a fake nice persona to those around her. She finds it amusing causing problems and watching others fear what gossip will be said about them online. 
==Personality==
At school, Naoko Ozawa is very friendly and social. She isn't popular, but is well known among her peers. With a positive reputation, she is believed to be trust worthy and caring, and never hesitates to offer a helping hand. 
Due to having a difficult past, she has put on a completely fake persona at school. Everything she does is in attempt to boost her reputation and grow closer with her peers so that she can learn more about them. With a positive reputation, no one will know just how spiteful she really is. She finds it amusing learning more about others just to use their information against them online. By always offering to help and being so kind to others, she knows that she will be able to get away with manipulating them however she pleases since they'll trust her and think she has good intentions. 
Deep down, she is just a very broken girl with trust issues and trauma. She doesn't know who she is anymore and often sways back and forth between believing shes doing nothing wrong and hating herself for all this bullying that she does. Ozawa enjoys the power she feels when she holds information against others, since she lacks self confidence. As a result of being punished for being too trusting of others, she is quiet about all of her feelings and refuses to ever open up to anyone. No one is aware of how toxic she is and how hurt she is. 
With friends, she is a completely different person. Ozawa likes to believe that she is her true self around her friends since she doesn't have any malicious intentions towards them. When she is herself, she is bubbly, outgoing, and easy to talk to. Ozawa is sweet and caring towards those she is friends with and prefers to be with them rather than alone. Her hobbies include playing computer games, reading, and playing chess. Other than exposing others on her blog, she spends her time trying to get better at games on her computer. She isn't very good at games though, despite being competitive while playing. Being surrounded by technology so much has led her to want a career dealing with technology. 
==Appearance==
Naoko Ozawa is slim and petite, as she is only 5'1 and 44kg. Her skin is pale since she spends most of her time alone in her room. She has long, waist length, dark purple hair with a hime-cut. Her eyes are a piercing blue-grey and beneath her lip, Ozawa has a small beauty mark. Her ears are pierced and she wears small studs in both of them along with wearing a hoop on both of her cartilage piercings. Ozawa can be seen wearing a periwinkle colored cardigan over top of her school uniform to hide her arms, which she typically has bandages on (but refuses to say what for). She wears black thigh highs with her black mary janes. When not at home, she always carries around her little pink flip phone with a dangling yellow cat dust plug and will never be seen without it.
==Relationships==
One of Naoko Ozawa's friends is Venus, the Vice President of the Gardening Club. She brings out the good in Ozawa. Venus positively influences Ozawa in many ways, such as encouraging her to be honest since Venus can always tell when shes lying. Ozawa always keeps Venus up to date with any new drama she hears and enjoys chatting about others. She also enjoys stopping by the Gardening Club to listen to Venus talk about her love for botany. Venus is someone that Ozawa looks up to and is grateful to have as a friend.
==Gameplay==
NOTICE: This is just a fanmade original character, she is not apart of the Love Sick game; this is just how I imagine she would fit in the game. It isn't a fully developed idea since she is just fanmade.
Ozawa would most likely be used as a source of information to the player. Since players will have access to a computer at come in their rooms, they could be exposed to the blog "Neko no Kizu" (猫の傷) and have access to see the newest post for that day. A player would most likely have to learn who she is by stalking Senpai and noticing a strange girl sneakily taking pictures of him. Then, a player could stalk her throughout the day and try to sneak a photo of her doing something suspicious such as taking pictures of other students or even her eavesdropping on other students so that the player can confront Ozawa. When confronted, she would react very confused and innocently until shown proof. If a player were to provide the proof, they could catch her and threaten to tell the guidance counselor on her. Her tone would change and she would become more bitter, then suggest a compromise for her and the player. Ozawa will be added to the student's contact list and provide them with information on other students as requested, as long as they don't expose her. The mission wouldn't be too difficult as information is an important tool to learn about other students. Other gossip-like information would be posted on "Neko no Kizu" (猫の傷), which will update once in the morning and once in evening with different information about other students. Since Ozawa finds it fun harassing and using information against others, you will have to bribe her or do a favor for her to do it to a student of your chosing. 
If a player were to choose that they'd like to be a full fledged Yandere, they could utilize Ozawa to figure out darker secrets of other students or even a rival, but of course, they'd have to complete favors to get her to do so. Ozawa is purely for information and single target bullying, she wouldn't provide any assistance to a the player such as giving them new clothes if theirs were bloody, as Ozawa doesn't want to be involved. She is only providing the player with information in the first place because they caught her and threatened to turn her in to the guidance counselor.
