Ryoko (Ryo) Nakamura

Ryoko Nakamura is a high school student in her second year. Her disheveled appearance, grumpy character, and spontaneous loud outbursts always give students the impression that she's practically insane. She's usually seen in the art club room, snacking and drawing in the lunchroom, or in the hallways skipping class. 
== Appearance ==
Ryoko has the appearance of a dejected art student. She is around average build, but she looks smaller because of her constant slouching and droopy appearance. Her eyes are a deep royal blue which can be rather striking when you look upon them, but coupled with the dark shadows/bags under her eyes from lack of sleep, it looks more like she's boring into your soul. As for her hair, its original color was a burgundy brown before she dyed it a bright pastel pink color. It is said she also cuts her own hair hence the wild/choppy appearance. Her uniform is mostly rumpled and she refuses to wear stockings with it. Sometimes, she'll even abandon the bow tie as well. Many times, you'll seen her walking around with a No.2 pencil on her ear as she cradles a big, black sketchbook.
== Personality ==
Ryoko puts up a grumpy appearance, always keeping people at a hostile distance. She'll tell you to, "Fuck off," if you greet her, or give you the stink eye if you approach her. Despite her seemingly timid personality, she'll yell or speak out to assert fear over people. Most of the time she'll be making comments at the teachers saying, "This is stupid," or "When's the bell gonna ring?" Sometimes she'll ask stupid questions such as, "Doesn't 2 + 2 = 22?" to piss off the teachers. Additionally, if she finds a student act annoying, she'll either pickpocket them or tell them to "Shut up." However, in many ways she's lonely and quite sentimental. If she finds a gift in her locker she'll tend to scoff at it, not sure how to act, but keep it and treasure it. And, if encounters someone who's going to fight back, she'll actually feel happy. It'll make her feel like there's someone out there that she can properly connect with. But, what really makes her happy, is that if people hang around her. Because of this, she doesn't mind enthusiastic and energetic people as she finds them easy to get along and talk with since they're mostly talking and she doesn't mind having their attention. Ryo is awkward, doesn't know how to handle people well, and is actually pretty timid once you get to know her. 
==Backstory==
Her dad was police officer from Japan, her mom is a housewife from Australia. Ryoko was born an only child. She used to be a happy yet shy kid, loving to draw and share her drawings if people were interested. However, due to a homicide, her dad died. Being a single mom, her mom now couldn’t be in the house because she needed to work to take care of Ryo and herself. Due to this neglect, led to Ryo becoming extremely attached to her school friends who would get annoyed at her antics and fits of crying. This neglect also drove her to be also become an attention seeker later on. They would eventually lash out at her everyday to the point they pushed Ryoko out of their friend group. To cope with her father's death, her lonely home life and school life, she relied on drawing and coloring to make her feel better. She’ll usually hole herself in her room or try to sit in the corner of the classroom to draw. As she got older, her mom worried for her future so she took that into her own hands. She'll usually never allow Ryo to make decisions for herself, pay for her things, and wouldn't even let her order all for the sake of a decent outcome and fear that if Ryo screwed up, it'll be the end of her just like what happened to her husband. These actions prevented her from being able to mature such as making rational decisions for herself, and having a hard time to express herself to people. But, she realized that if she yells and or gets angry, she could get people's attention and they will listen hence why she also has her outbursts. She enrolled in the Highschool to become a police officer (Mother's decision) but soon was kicked out of the course because of her lazy and rude behaviour. Now, she's a regular student that mostly draws in school rather than doing the work.
==Relationships==
Dad
She was close to her dad as she was very fond of superheroes when she was young. Her dad used to share his crime-fighting stories and will critique crime films with her. He also is a reason why she began to draw because she'd always make art of him beating up criminals.
Mom
Both of them were different as her mom loved sports and was super extroverted while Ryo was the opposite. However, they still loved each other nonetheless but couldn't find a middle ground to connect with each other until Ryo found out she was a painter. This small burst of emotional connection soon fizzled when her mom had to leave the house often to find and work at a new job
