Illust by KoriUsagi

**Shion Terada** (寺田 紫苑, *Terada Shion*) is a 1st year student attending [CURRENTLY UNNAMED] High School. They are an original character created by KoriUsagi.

## Appearance

Shion has medium-length red hair, one blue eye, one aquamarine eye, small eyelashes and sharp teeth. They are usually seen wearing black and cyan cat headphones.

At school, they wear the typical uniform paired with a light blue vest and black crew socks.

Their outfit closet outside of school mainly consists of lolita fashion.

## Personality

Shion is a very energetic, video game-loving student with quite a brash and childish attitude. Although they are not afraid to strike up a conversation, they tend to act rude towards people due to the lack of social skills and understanding on how some words and actions can hurt others.

They suffer from a condition known as chuunibyou, making them believe they are the main hero of an RPG and have a habit of constantly bringing up video game tropes.

## Backstory

Born as the middle child of the wealthy Terada household, Shion and their two siblings were sheltered throughout their entire childhood. They were almost always in the care of their servants as their parents were constantly busy with work. During this period, they entertained themself by playing old-school video games their parents bought for them. As they did not have much outside interaction back then, they started believing that the only things they could truly connect to were the characters and their worlds, which was what caused them to develop chuunibyou.

Shion's life changed one day after hearing about the deaths of their parents from one of their servants. At that moment, the doors opened as they and their siblings took their sheltered lives to the outside world. Unfortunately, due to not having the time to develop what one could consider common knowledge, their strange attempts at social interaction only drove other people away from them.

Worried by their eccentric behavior, their older brother ended up enrolling them into high school in hopes that the education and social environment there would help Shion recover from their chuunibyou and grow up as a normal person.

It is safe to say their relationships with the rest of their family and servants are decent at best.
