## Personality

Pandora is a passionate online gamer who loves to live stream his gameplay in hopes of growing his audience and someday gaining 100 thousand followers. He has a supportive fanbase that admires him for his gaming skills in War Of Dolls. However, Pandora has shown himself to be indifferent towards others, especially Akane Kinoshita, his former neighbor. Before moving out of his old apartment, he was known for his rowdy behavior and being arrogant towards other players who defeated him in-game, specifically Team Red Fox, who personally targeted him during matches as revenge for Akane.

## Chronology

### Red Fox Riot Squad Operation Arc

 ***Main article: Red Fox Riot Squad Operation Arc***
While streaming one night, Pandora fails to hear Akane Kinoshita's knocks on his door and continues to stream loudly.

On another day, Pandora receives a call from the property management, who warn him about the complaints that they received about the noise coming from his apartment. He hastily promises that he has gotten quieter, then abruptly ends the call and irksomely grumbles about disturbing him. While live streaming one day playing the game War Of Dolls, he proudly flaunts his wins and kill count to his audience who praise him for skills. He believes that being arrogant and prideful in amateur games is the perfect strategy for him to gain followers compared to being polite towards professional gamers in mainstream games.

While playing the game, Pandora is constantly attacked by Metabolic Panda and Jet Black Bride. Sensing that they are not used to the battlefield's map, he takes shelter in a building where he tries to recover, but instantly fails after getting ambushed by Tanaka, killing him swiftly with just one shot. Pandora loses the match, visibly upsetting his audience who criticize his gaming skills. Remembering that his audience started getting disappointed by his losses once the players showed up, he curses Tanaka out loud, which Akito Yamada hears from next door.

Pandora is on a voice call with Gobou, who helps him practice his aim in War Of Dolls. He thanks Gobou for his work, but he is suddenly demotivated after realizing that he has gotten worse in the game. Gobou tells him that victories come down to luck and that his moves have become predictable whenever he is cornered. He then advises him to take a break and move out of the apartment to clear his head, but he refuses, claiming that taking a break as a streamer would mean putting his career at risk. Pandora then complains about Tanaka, Metabolic Panda, and Jet Black Bride, blaming them for being the reason why he has started to lose listeners, and reveals that he contacted Tanaka the day before to tell him to stop targeting him in-game. However, Tanaka merely replied with a mysterious message, which Pandora deems psychotic.

He believes that Tanaka and his team are using cheat codes to track his movements because they always seem to play the same matches as him. However, Gobou points out that Tanaka's team also know about his activity and status even when he is not streaming. Gobou suggests that they are stalkers and recalls a story from one of his streamer friends about receiving a bugged present from a fan. Pandora is left shocked and thinks about the possibility of being stalked until he starts seeing Tanaka's *Noh* mask out of fear while showering. Exiting the shower, he receives another call from the property management, warning him about the noise complaints and sending him a notice of a potential eviction, if no improvements are made. Pandora ignores the warning and logs into War Of Dolls to play, but gets scared when he sees that Tanaka has also started playing.

Sometime later, Pandora moves out of his apartment and gets greeted by Tomoya Taniguchi, who he believes is his next-door neighbor, before leaving.

## Relationships

### Team Red Fox

Pandora sees Team Red Fox, especially Tanaka, as enemies after continuously being targeted by them in online matches. He holds a grudge against them for being the reason why his viewers have slowly become upset with his content. Figuring that the team consisted of stalkers who watched him constantly, Pandora eventually had to relocate apartments for his safety.

#### Gobou

Having never known that Gobou is a member of Team Red Fox, Pandora saw Gobou as a helpful acquaintance for teaching him how to aim better in War Of Dolls. He was also thankful for his advice when it came to dealing with Red Fox, whom he began to think were his stalkers.

### Akane Kinoshita

Akane is Pandora's former next-door neighbor, whom he has shown no remorse towards even after getting noise complaints about his rowdy behavior despite never meeting each other face-to-face.
