## Description

**Sofu Okamoto** (also known as **Tara Kyubei**) is a former student who used to attend Maneki High School, and now a sub-leadress of the Delinquent's Alleyway, wielding a nailed baseball bat. She is the daughter of Kentaro Kyubei and Sakura Kyubei, the niece of Aiko Kyubei, Kumomo Kyubei, and Misaki Kyubei, and the granddaughter of Akari Kyubei. Tara has a horror history of the destruction toward her family, being killed by many of her enemies, and because she could not remember any enemy due to experiencing such a crisis after being hospitalized, she puts all the blame on both her aunt Misaki and her grandmother Akari. Even if they are not at fault, they are dead Lithies on Tara's eyes, willing to kill them for negligence, intimidation, and other crimes they committed before she was even born.

## History

Sofu Okamoto, as Tara Kyubei, was born on July 6, 2004 in Japan. Her mother, Sakura Kyubei, was happy to have her as her daughter. But as for her father, Kentaro Kyubei, he was not to have her with his wife. Because he was a member of the Black Blizzard on behalf of his mother Akari Kyubei, Sakura does not want Tara to be like him, a part of the clan that smuggled weapons and drugs. While Tara showed mother-daughter love to her mother, she also wanted to give some father-daughter love to her father, but he had never got the time to let her do so due to being busy at the Black Blizzard.

As a girl, Tara wanted to follow the steps made by both Sakura and Kentaro, as they were adults. She wanted to have a bright future when she, too, became an adult herself. Little would she have realized, she had been following her father's footsteps more rather than her mother's. When she was caught by Akari, she was proud of her son for producing a newborn for her family tree, but she was also disappointed for doing so very early. Tara found her grandmother intimidating, as well as the aunts she had encountered: Aiko Kyubei, Misaki Kyubei, and Kumomo Kyubei.

The aunts had different reactions to meeting Tara; Aiko was excited, Misaki was angered, and Kumomo did not care to see her. Although Aiko seemed to be a bit friendly, Tara found her "the scariest." But Aiko reassured her that just because she worked at the Black Blizzard did not mean she would bring harm upon her niece, and that Tara would have to understand that she would have to live in a cruel realm she would soon experience as an adult. Somehow, this built her niece some courage to speak to Aiko more often. But as for Misaki and Kumomo, they did not let themselves have a word with her.

When Tara began attending Torirenma Elementary School, she met the Nakamura twins, Kaito and Yui. Kaito would bully Tara just for his own entertainment, but Yui was really fond of her and they became best friends. Tara's bond with Yui was strong, so much that she would never let it tear apart, as they would play together, draw together, and work on projects together. This though, did consume Kaito with envy, seeing Tara as a "personal threat" to himself and his sister. That was when she and Yui encountered Kaito's bully partner, Akiko Yamamoto, and they both bullied Tara and Yui respectively.

Fortunately, the bullying stopped when Tara's third grade year of elementary school was coming to an end. But at a cost, Yui and Kaito, as well as Akiko, would graduate due to passing their fifth grade years, proceeding themselves to middle school as sixth graders. Tara's heart was broken, and felt emotional, as her bond with Yui was extremely strong, so much that it would never be the same without having herself talk to her. As a fourth grader, her grades were falling apart, she became anti-social, and felt angry and aggressive. Her peers would try to make fun of her, only then would she snap and bring harm upon them.

When Sakura was hearing about the situation involving Tara and a couple of accidents (incidents as well), she was disappointed in her daughter, but blamed Kentaro, assuming that he was the one who taught her to fight back with physical harm, as he was a member of the Black Blizzard. Sakura begged Tara as to why she began to act like this, but she refused to answer the question. Tara's behavior had been like this until she was passing fifth grade. She was happy and thought she would graduate alongside her peers, but a hurricane put that to a stop just a week before her graduation.

Tara's temper grew after the hurricane for not earning moments that would've made her happy, and Sakura became worried about her unpleasant behavior. Kentaro tried to assure Sakura that she ran in the blood of the Kyubei family, not the Okamoto family, which only infuriated her rather than making her feel better. Two months later, however, Tara calmed her temper down as she was informed that she was becoming a sixth gradress. While she was still resentful and mad about not experiencing a graduation ceremony or such, she was only happy about the good news she was given.

In early September of 2015, Tara attended Rosutoran Middle School, and there she met a new friend named Yakuni Aishi. But this new friend of hers was far more different than Yui. She would not express emotions, stand up for herself, or anything a normal person would do. Tara tried to figure out what was happening (what had happened, for that matter) to Yakuni, but her only response was, "I'm just born like this. I don't know what will satisfy me." Tara was a little intimidated by the response, but on the outside, she wished Yakuni to get well soon, whilst on the inside, she was more rather annoyed and enraged.

After Tara had "befriended" Yakuni, she later got to read a newspaper from one of the members of the Newspaper Club of her middle school and began reading it just to spend her time alone. Only then did she read about the history of the Aishi bloodline, finding out that many of them (mostly Rubidies) were born with a particular condition known as Baryo's Condition. Tara read a few more details about the Aishi family and suddenly realized that she made friends with a possible serial killer. Later that time, she grew anxious because of Yakuni's presence, but got used to it as long as she did not tick her off.

Tara learned not to make any friends and work alone, unlike the days of her elementary school, in which she missed so much. But only then did this worsen her life as a middle school girl. She was forced to fight some delinquents who wanted to test mights and luck, and was nearly close to being groped and sexually touched by immature peers. When she had to fend her new enemies off, all she got was constant suspensions and threats of expulsions and police involvements. To spend time, she decided to work at the Black Blizzard with her father Kentaro during suspension, as well as doing chores tasked by Sakura.

Sakura could not handle the negative incomes and outcomes affecting Tara, nor the fact that she decided to work at the Black Blizzard. So with that, she was planning a divorce between herself and Kentaro. Tara knew how this could affect her and her parents, and knowing that Sakura would not budge a word coming from the mouth of her own daughter, she decided to keep it down until the "time was right." As an eighth gradress, Tara was close to passing and succeeding, and angrily prayed that she would graduate this time unlike in fifth grade. She prayed that nothing bad happened to her.

But once again, a horror show happened to Tara and her family. Kentaro and Sakura, not caring about the fact that Tara was passing and close to graduating, were constantly arguing whether they should divorce or not. Tara was growing sick of their constant arguments they had for years, but this was only a beginning. While her parents were arguing, and Tara was waiting for them to stop, someone all of the sudden broke into their house and attacked Kentaro and Sakura as their primary targets. They thought they were the only ones in the house, but they knew that Tara still lived on.

Tara heard the screams from Sakura and the fights from Kentaro, and assumed that he had snapped and became an abusive husband toward his wife. She rushed to aid her mother, only then did she find the dead, bleeding bodies of her parents. She tried to figure out what had happened to them, but could not. That was until the killer snuck up from behind and attacked her. Tara tried to fight back with all of the strength she had thanks to those she fought back during middle school, but it was no use. She was defeated by the killer, and when she looked at the killer's face, she screamed in terror until she was brutalized.

Tara was presumed dead alongside her parents, and the suspect was thought to be none other than Misaki Kyubei, who immediately abandoned the Black Blizzard after hearing such nonsense and her mother's capture, and so did Aiko. They rushed to Tara's house and saw a crime scene happening. Hwa-Young P'yon, Tara's therapist, nearly caught the culprit, thinking it was Misaki, and had the paramedics hospitalize Tara and her parents to see if all of them could be saved from dying. Aiko and Misaki tried to figure out what had happened, but they were caught by the police, forcing them to flee as they chased.

The doctors were unable to save neither Sakura nor Kentaro, but they only saved their daughter, Tara Kyubei, and deanonymize her identity, Sofu Okamoto. Sofu woke up at the hospital, covered in cables of machines and an IV attached to her arm, as well as bandages covering her stab wounds, including one in the right eye. Hwa-Young visited her room and explained the situation, and Sofu responded, "I was traumatized. I saw the bodies of my parents. I saw the face of my killer." She later asked about her parents, and without Hwa-Young's response, she already figured it out and sobbed.

Two months after being discharged, Sofu was taken to therapy for her sessions with Hwa-Young for her current mental states. She explained everything as to what happened prior to being terrorized by her parents' killer; seeing her friendship with Yui tear away, not being able to graduate in neither fifth nor eight grades, accidentally befriending a possible serial killer, and fighting those who tried to hurt or grope her. Sofu also admitted that she worked with the Black Blizzard on her grandmother's behalf, but it was by force rather than by choice, and that she never had the time to spend with her mother, Sakura.

After all of the therapy sessions, Sofu was free to go. Hwa-Young thanked her for being one of her patients, and thought of rewarding her something. Sofu requested Hwa-Young to take her to an inu pound, and she agreed. Once they arrived, she immediately rushed to the inu area, and there she met an adult Kai Ken inu. Hwa-Young was not sure about this, but noting that the inu that Sofu wanted acted like a therapy inu rather than a inu trained to hunt. With that in mind, she agreed and Sofu was excited for the first time in a long time. The inu was named Mizuno, and learned to speak fluently.

After raising Mizuno, Sofu never felt happier to have a new friend, but became worried that her new friendship would be short than long-living. But Hwa-Young assured her patient that he would never leave her, as he was now her pet. After heading to a new home bought by Hwa-Young, Sofu and Mizuno's friendship bond grew stronger than the bond between her and Yui. They began to play together, such as fetching frisbees, bathing at the pool, and exercising. They grew together so close that they saw each other as brother and sister rather than just new friends.

In late August of 2020, Sofu was brought back to school, and began attending Maneki High School, but her life as a high school girl was extremely short. The districts providing Torirenma Elementary School and Rosutoran Middle School, as well as Maneki High School, immediately recognized her family and delinquent histories, and they still identified her as "Tara Kyubei" than "Sofu Okamoto." They threatened her that if she were to make one more mistake regardless of whether it was defense or offense, they would expel her. Unfortunately, Sofu did not know this, and before realizing this, it was too late.

Sofu was suddenly expelled by the headmaster of Maneki, but this time, Sofu did nothing wrong. It was a cowardly move from the headmaster himself, Kabetakushi Pakkuhiro. Sofu tried to defend herself, but it was no use. She even tried to sue the headmaster for the abuse of power, but it was also no use. Sofu realized that she would not even graduate as a 12th gradress and that she was enraged for the last time. Knowing that everyone knew her as a Kyubei, no matter of her good alignment, she decided not to care about it anymore and continue her identity as Tara Kyubei.

Some time after turning 18, Tara encountered a few members of the Delinquent's Alleyway while walking Mizuno, who were wanting to fight her. Tara, forced to get it over with, ran her inu away and fought the challengers, defeating them all at once. Tara was going to walk away and head back home to cry for what just happened, but the leader of the Japanese branch, Netami Revuaiasan, saw the combat skills of a future delinquent. She later called out to her to at least converse with her. At first, Tara expected Netami to mock her for being a Kyubei family member, but she instead gave her compliments, surprising her.

Netami then requested Tara to follow her, and despite her suspicions, she decided to follow him regardless. He then welcomed her to the Delinquent's Alleyway, but it was not warm, rather cold. Some delinquents therein recognized her, but some did not. Others did not care about her sudden appearance, which was not very surprising to her. Tara then heard a familiar voice from a certain direction, and when he turned to the familiar voice, it was Kaito. Shocked, Tara decided to rush toward him and launch a punch in the face, deserving him for bullying her and his sister like a careless brother he was.

Despite wanting to see a fight, Netami decided to stop Tara from escalating the conflict and sent Kaito back to guarding an area to take his mind off of the near-conflict experience. Tara apologized, but Netami assured her that it was natural to fight their own enemies, even if they were friends. She then decided to take her to an interview to see if she was worthy to be part of the Delinquent's Alleyway, and to Tara's surprise, she was hired as a bartendress and given a weapon bag containing a baseball bat inside. She later became one of the sub-leadresses of the alleyway, earning her new friends, rivals, and enemies.

Tara decided to keep it this way, but neither Hwa-Young nor Mizuno were on board with her destination. She knew that it was wrong, but she assured them that she earned new friends and rivals. She might regret encountering the delinquents at the Delinquent's Alleyway, but the clan was all she could have for now, to give her time to plan her future. But when she thought of her future, she thought of her past, and when she thought of her past, she thought of vengeance against both her grandmother Akari and her aunt Misaki for the massacre of her family, assuming either could be the killer.
