## Appearance

Matri Yoshka is often seen slumped standing up due to his tall frame, though other times she’d be seen leaning against a wall straightened up. Their complexion was a pale shade of honey in their human days, but after being turned into a doll they became pale like the rest.

His skin tone would alternate depending on her mood—from their usual white, to shades of grey, to his deepest black.

The left side of her hair is braided, resting over her shoulder, while the right side his hair is dishelved and short.

Their outfit consists of a t-shirt with its long sleeves detached, a metal hoop ring to keep it connected to the t-shirt sleeves. The shirt primarily of two colors, a dark blue and a reddish-orange; the blue snaking out into the orange on the front.

Their sleeves are red-orange on the right and blue on the left.

They have a black belt with several holes to hold up their red-orange skirt, which only falls over their left leg, while wearing blue shorts over their right leg.

Their shoes are heeled, the right one being entire covered and black and the left one being partially covered and white. They wear white short socks for their right foot and a long black stocking for their left foot.

## Personality

Matri Yoshka is a sensitive person, prone to extreme emotions when the situations cause them to react. In usual cases, they’re often in a state of neutrality, but when interacted with she’s often in a good mood.

They wouldn’t categorize themself as a good person, but he’s usually in a denial when accused of being anything less, even though they hardly try to do any good for the participants. They would like to call themself a passer-by, though evidently that isn’t the case due to their role as floormaster.

Fortunately, a redeeming quality of theirs is that they don’t find joy in the actual death game. If asked, they’d tell you they prefer if there wasn’t a death game at all because they find it a shame that people with potential talents will have to die. Unfortunately, they’re a stickler to their job as well.

## History

Before Matri Yoshka, there was Fujisaki Yoshiko and Aiyuki.

The two were twins that worked in entertainment, Yoshiko would scout for new talents while Aiyuki would manage new talents. There used to be a misconception that the two could swap places any time, but they were incapable actually doing of that—they tried.

However, at some point, they were suddenly unable to do their jobs right as each time they scouted and managed new talents, by some miracle (read: ASU-NARO) the talents would always fly into controversy one way or another. They were viewed as cursed and eventually got fired because of it. Absolute bullshit.

Then, ASU-NARO took them in.

Initially, they were taken in to do the same thing as before, except this time Yoshiko wasn’t scouting for talents, she was scouting for participants. Likewise, Aiyuki would manage the details of the participants.

They didn’t know what they were doing. They were only told to look for unique looking people, of all ages, occupations and genders. Sort them, get more information.

Not long after, their time to become dolls came, but unlike the rest, ASU-NARO thought it would be more productive to combine the two of them into one doll to save expenses. It would be more practical anyway, they said. Combining their abilities together would mean better productivity.

And so Matri Yoshka was born.

## Relationships

### Participants

Matri is more partial towards participants that show promising talents that can upstage a crowd, therefore they're more lenient towards these people . If a participant doesn't interest them—whether it's because they lack talent or lack charisma in general—they'll evidently express their boredom and interact with these people less.

Despite insisting that it isn't the case, they're quite clearly prone to treating the participants as characters rather than people. Not that it's a bad thing; it doesn't particularly affect the game whatsoever.

#### Miran Sekino

Initially, Matri wasn't at all interested with Miran's cheerful-but-gloomy-on-the-inside persona, thinking it cliché. But after witnessing Miran's blossoming relationship with Yūrei, they started showing more eagerness towards wanting to interact with Miran, and by proxy Yūrei too.

#### Kina Fukushima

Because of Kina's initial introduction as an astronaut, Matri was intrigued. But, though they were briefly entertained by Kina's attempt to deceive and ability to sabotage, Matri gradually stopped becoming amused when realizing Kina's inability to interact with others properly.

#### Sumire Kandou

Sumire's charisma was duly noted by Matri from the start and they've been interested in her ever since. Her occupation as a doctor only intrigues them more.

#### Roteki Ming

Since Matri was the one that did most of the scouting for the participants, they had high hopes that Roteki would be just as interesting as her brother, but unfortunately they were quite let down by her quiet nature. Still, they were entertained by her observation skills and mousy personality. Such a shame she had to go.

#### Hana Ito

Out of all the kid participants, Matri feels Hana would most definitely work as star if it weren't for the circumstance. They think her boisterous personality would come off as endearing if used right, and those skilled in fighting has always done well in the industry.

#### Ayane Furukawa

Since Ayane is an athlete, Matri didn't really think much of her. They really like their personality, truly, but they're not too sure if Ayana is worthy of becoming a *star.* After all, athletes pick to be athletes for a reason. Oh well, she's pretty enough for a sports fashion line shoot at the very least!

They weren't particularly happy nor disappointed when she died.

#### Kaito Hayashi

Before the death game and ASU-NARO, Matri actually knew of Kaito. It was part of his job to keep up with trending e-celebs, just in case they need to ask for a collab at any point in time. So, after being recruited to ASU-NARO, unsure of what the company wanted out of them in the beginning, she went out to scout Kaito first.

However, after actually meeting the boy, they were a little repulsed by his personality. Unlike Hana, his immaturity is the kind people in the entertainment industry would tend to avoid due to difficulty of cooperation.

#### Euphemia Beckwith

Euphemia was someone Matri was excited about having on the death game—before they knew it was a death game. It's not everyday you come upon a foreigner, an *interesting* foreigner at that. Usually, they're not fond of quiet types, but Euphemia's quietness was something they thought was *cool.*

They're not too sure why she doesn't like them though.

### Dummies

Well, it's a little hard finding interest in someone that is dead. They won't acknowledge that it's hypocritical of them to disregard every dummy just because they're a dummy—with some exceptions of course. She still finds interest in those that display eye-capturing traits, but he won't think any further than that.

#### Ryōichi Ikehara

She thinks Ryōichi's immaturity can come off as endearing if put in the right position. Though his lightheartedness is not appreciated during the dire situation, she thinks if he were anywhere else, he'd make a good 'pop idol' type.

#### Yūrei Fujiwara

The reason they gave Miran a second look. Rather than being interested in Yūrei herself, they're more interested in what she has with Miran.

#### Taiyō Hoshiko

She was briefly interested in Taiyō's personality, so they found it a shame that he had to die.

### Floor Masters

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that everybody working as a Floor Master hates each other.

Matri, on the other hand, doesn't have much of an opinion on the others. They're quite neutral towards everyone, even if the others' opinions differ towards them.

#### Lei Morin

Lei reminds Matri of celebrities that had the fame get to their heads, or arrogant mothers demanding their children become child stars within an instant. Not that they view him negatively, but they tend not to interact with him too much because of this, since that was their method to dealing with people like him in their past lives.

#### Awayuki Kanemoto

Their opinion of Awayuki is close to non-existent. At this point, it's believed they try not to think about her too much because of her personality. They don't exactly find her sadism distasteful, but he sort of...thought those type of people only existed in fiction. It was quite surprising to see a real life tears-thirsty sadist.

#### Rosé Katou

They're a little wary of Rosé. Not because they're intimidated or afraid, but because they're worried about child labor laws. As if any of that exists in the death game.

## Trivia

* When referring to themself, they’ll usually use ‘we’. But in cases where they are experiencing one extreme emotion, they’ll use ‘I’. This is because they’re usually subconsciously aware they’re made of two people, but are unable to differentiate themselves unless they’re feeling something extreme—it makes the separation easier to discern in their mind.
* To add, although they do prefer any pronouns in normal circumstances, when in an extreme state of emotion they would prefer their separate selves’ preferred pronouns. Unfortunately, it is not easy to guess who is who until you really get to know them.
* Matri Yoshka’s japanese name, “みがわに Migawani”, is a pun on 身代わり migawari which means “substitute, double, scapegoat” with り ri being replaced with に ni which sounds like the number two in japanese. Their english name is Matri Yoshka which sounds like matryoshka, the russian doll with another doll inside.
* Their family name, “不二咲 Fujisaki” means “two unblooming (flowers)”
* Yoshiko (悦子) means “joyous child”, 悦 yoshi being joy and 子ko being child.
* Aiyuki (あいゆき) can be read as “愛幸” which means “love and fortune”, 愛 ai being love and 幸yuki being fortune. But it can also be read as “哀之”, which means “sorrow arrived”, 哀ai being sorrow and 之yuki being to arrive or go somewhere.
