Schubert

**Schubert** (シューベルト *Shūberuto*) is one of the supporting characters in ClassicaLoid. Born with the memories of late Classical Period composer Franz Schubert, he is one of the ClassicaLoids created in Arkhe. Due to circumstances, he was initially separated from most of the cast, but decided to wander around in order to meet the object of his admiration, Beethoven. He then later becomes a tenant in Otowa Mansion.

Some of his peers call him **Schu** (シュー *Shū*).

## Appearance

    He appears as a tall man with curly, reddish hair and violet eyes. He wears a pair of round spectacles. His outfit consists of an orange overcoat, a reddish vest over a white, collared shirt, and a yellow bowtie, resembling typical men's wear from the 18th century.

## Personality

As no one guided him after waking up, he was initially clueless about the matters of the 21st century, causing him to suspect people around him as underlings of the Erlkönig. He has a habit of leaving to travel without informing anyone, which may have contributed to everyone's lack of impression towards him.

He is proper, serious, and lashes out in stressful situations. While being very in tune with his own feelings and poetic thoughts, he puts the needs of others above his own, is eager to help whenever needed, and is able to manage issues in the spirit of harmony, much like a teacher. Due to his lack of identity, which is also his strongest insecurity that he attempts to redeem two times without success, he always goes unnoticed by those around him. He also has trouble standing up for himself in dangerous situations, and can’t put up convincing acts when it comes to lying.

He greatly admires and defends Beethoven, whom he calls with the honorific, "-*senpai*’’. He wishes to gain his approval. However, after realizing how much his identity revolves around him, Schubert learns to defy Beethoven when their opinions differ. Meanwhile, he has disdainful feelings towards Mozart due to his history of being compared to him.

## Story

### 1st Season

Schubert first appeared before the ending of the third episode, "Cho-chan and Li-chan," who is shown to be walking along a shoreline. He was then formally introduced during the fourth episode, "The Wandering Kōhai", which was centered around him. However, he was brought somewhere in Africa by a kite, which deterred him from fully residing Otowa Mansion until the sixth episode, "The Beginning of the ClassicaLoids."

## Musik

Like all ClassicaLoids, Schubert can use Musik based on his pieces. His transformation catchphrase is “Lässt unsere Musik der Erklingen! (German: *Let our Music ring out!*)”

* Wiegenlied - This Musik summoned by his emotions will make everyone nearby act like an infant--as his appearance in Episode 5.
* Die Forelle - This Musik transforms people (and ClassicaLoid, first used to himself) to a fish (with Sosuke being an exception due to transforming to a snail).
* Der Erlkönig (Schubert no Maoumichi) - Schubert will start rapping and turn people (and ClassicaLoids) into street drawings.
* The Great C Major (Life is beautiful) - Schubert calms everyone nearby into bliss, to the point it can put a temporary ends to wars and everyone affected will usually say "Life is beautiful~!", or "Ya-man!". This is his only Musik that does not affect ClassicaLoids.

## Quotes

* "*True music grabs the heart of the listener and continues to soothe for all eternity!*" (to Chopin, in *A World Without Circles*)
* "*In trying to create music that only I am capable of creating, I suffer day after day! I do so single-mindedly and with simple honesty... So to suggest it's an imitation...*" (in *The Melancholy of Schubert*)

## Trivia

* He is the only ClassicaLoid to have no music producers assigned to remix his Musik. His first two Musik are original classical pieces. His latter pieces are based on genres he had picked up in his travels; first hip-hop then reggae.
	+ Both of his latter pieces were sung by his VA.

* In the anime, whenever it's convenient to him, a kite would take him to faraway places such as downtown New York (during episode 21, "Breakthrough" where he encountered Otowa Kyougo), Cuba (during episode 9, "Beyond the Darkness", where he collected wood for Beethoven who was obsessing over making a guitar), Jamaica (as told by him on episode 5 of the 2nd season, "A Great Man"), or even in nearby places often to take him out of situations.
