Yume "Yurei" Hoshino

Yume was a 12 year student who goes to Love Letter high school. She is allegedly rumored to be a ghost and doesn't appear to attend any classes.
== Appearance ==
Yume is a average height, thin girl with light brown skin and grayish white hair. She puts her hair up in a pony tail and attaches a clip that's in the shape of a skull whenever she can. She wears a mask red face mask to cover as much of her expression as she could and is always found sporting a black hoodie. Her hands and forearms are wrapped in bandages.
== Backstory ==
While alive, Yume was a strange outcast with a coincidental interest in occult and witchcraft. She didn't excel in class and didn't really stand out at all among her peers and was unnoticed by the rest of the teachers and students because of this. She stayed out of trouble as much as she could, hiding away in secluded corners as to not be disturbed and to also pet a cat that she has named "Fuku"
She spent a lot of her time alone until one day, she gets the attention of someone named Akira. As a varsity Student, Akira was one of the more popular boys in school. Despite initially thinking he was extremely shallow and thickheaded, Yume slowly grew to like Akira as soon as he showed his tender soft side. He starts to hang out with her more and more and rumors started to circulate around her and soon enough, she's gotten the attention of the other girls.
Out of jealousy, she was murdered by one of her classmates and has been haunting the school since then. Her sense of self while being a ghost has warped, she it takes her a while to remember things, but with whatever was familiar to her, she latches unto it.
As of recently, she's found a person who reminds her vaguely of her old friend, Akira, and now she's infatuated.
== Personality ==
Yume is mostly reclusive and doesn't like to talking to people. She's only found staying to the side to watch senpai or just stand slightly out of view. Whenever approached, she'll try her best to escape the situation as soon as possible. Given the chance, she'd avoid interaction all together with the exception of Senpai. 
When given the chance to talk, what little she can muster always seems incredibly vague, morbid or incomplete.
While extremely introverted and shy, Yume is an empathetic and compassionate person who sees the world in a completely different light. She's tender and kind towards animals and finds the beauty in things that are not likely to be there.
== Relationships ==
Akira - Best friend from an old life. 
== In-Game function ==
=== Every other week ===
Yume is one of the rivals in the game. Usually, she doesn't really interact with the rest of the students and would rather much stay at the back of the school where she used to eat and drink when she was alive. She's also found in places that has cats and while rare, sometimes she's seen momentarily in big crowds before promptly disappearing when out of the player's sight.
On the week that she is not considered the rival, she mostly stays away as much as possible. Whenever she sees the player kill someone in the middle of her face, she stands by scared and disappears into a flair of dust if approached. There's a small chance that, if she's formed a bond with one of the occult students, she'd tell them about the murder you did and they'll trail you.
She won't be able to be killed in any traditional way and the only way to find out how to kill her is to look at some shady occult books in the library or to search online.
=== Rival mode ===
There will one week where she's becomes more visible. She'll be mostly visible from a distance, watching Senpai from a place that isn't as easy to approach. When the player gets closer to her and makes any noise, she'll immediately disappear. If the Player looks at her while she's watching, looks away, then looks at her again, she'll disappear. At this point, there's a chance to search something in the library or the internet for exorcism as a possible elimination method, but there's a possibility for a botched job and she'll disappear for a few weeks and a new rival comes in her place. When she returns in a few weeks, she'll try to haunt the player and inconvenience her as much as possible, nudging some students whenever the player does something suspicious and sometimes, even possess a student. When the student is possessed, their eyes turn red with spirals and their strength gets stronger.
If nothing is done about her for a week, Senpai will start talking to her in the hallways when they see her. After seeing her being talked to in the hallways, senpai will start to eat with her in the spot she used to eat at when she was alive. The senpai will have some conversations with Yume and even pet the cat she's befriended. When Yume finishes her first lunch with Senpai, she'll become more visible around the school and start to have her own routine and even attend classes that just so happen to have senpai in it. Possible elimination methods arise. Since you got her name, you search her online or even in the newspaper archives in the library. You can eliminate her as a rival by helping her find out who she was, trying to convince Senpai that she is a ghost (if the player has most of a relationship with Senpai, they'll have a better chance of convincing senpai), and showing the information that Yume is a ghost to the Occult club to deal with her.
== Trivia ==
- If her hair is pushed back, there is a big gaping hole in her eye where she's been stabbed.
- If she's seen before being a rival, she'd wear a different uniform.
- Yume is only referred to as "Yurei" is a mean-spirited nickname that people only see from the background.
