## Appearance

Senpai is a video game character. He appears as a young, light-skinned man with a constant blush and parted strawberry blonde hair. He wears a partially tucked-in periwinkle blue button-up shirt, a loose pink tie, gray jeans that are held up by a black belt with a silver buckle and gray shoes. He carries a brown backpack in his right hand over his right shoulder and holds a pink microphone loosely in his left with his thumb and index finger. His head sparkles whenever he is not singing. Fitting of his origins as a dating sim character, he stands and stares forward in the direction of the player themselves instead of towards his opponent.

In his second track, his previously happy expression changes to a more discomforted and menacing glare with the upper part of his face appearing purple, shadowing his eyes. His tie appears bent. He now clutches his microphone fully in his left hand. The sparkles around his head are now gone. His forward-facing stance remains the same, but his eyes are now focused squarely in **Boyfriend's** direction, even while singing.

## Story

A long time ago, someone was forcefully trapped within the confines of a dating simulator game by **Daddy Dearest** under unknown circumstances. Now stuck in the game without any hope of escaping, he would go onto possess its programming and lay dormant until someone arrived.

The dating sim video game belonged to **Girlfriend** and she used to play it a lot. While hanging out with **Boyfriend**, she finds it and decides to play it with him. However, they both ended up being pushed into the game by **Daddy Dearest**, likely as another attempt on Boyfriend's life. Soon after, they meet Senpai and he chivalrously challenges Boyfriend for Girlfriend's heart and affection. After being bested, he suddenly breaks character, quickly becoming angry and vulgar.
