Kokoro Utsuna (鬱な・ココロ) is an orphaned actor and performer living in Okyurio, who is famous for her natural talents, as well as being a love fairy able to spread love around the corrupted city. She is quite an important character, being one of the villians in Fairy Collection Service alongside Nyx Yamiko.

## Bio

### Appearance

Kokoro is a tall, pale-skinned girl with red wavy hair cut in a bob and a long heart-shaped ahoge. She has big red eyes with four hearts drawn under the one on her left. Kokoro usually wears an outfit that she was gifted by Nyx Yamiko, a white backless top, a pale pink skirt and matching pink shoes, and white shorts. She also wears thigh-high white socks and gloves with pink trim, as well as two red bows tied around her waist and chest and a choker. Due to a birth defect, Kokoro has malformed wings, little stubs just jutting out of her back. This means that she can only fly by using extremely difficult and powerful magic that she only learns after meeting Ember.

### Personality

Most people only see Kokoro as a toy, a blank slate to become whatever the show needs her to be, due to her fame and her love by Nyx Yamiko. This paired with her wing defect and the fact that she has never had anyone close to talk to, has lead to Kokoro being very emotionally weak. She frequently self-harms (but keeps her scars hidden under her gloves) and breaks down, using her magic to destroy objects, furniture, and even buildings. Kokoro is impulsive and gets jealous very easily, especially around fairies that can fly, explaining why she tried to kill Akane, Ember and Tekkit when she first saw them. She is also stubborn and has a twisted set of morals, not hesitating to do anything to get her way, because she never had anyone to tell her that those ways were wrong. Even though she has many bad qualities because of her rough life, she has some good traits, including being very passionate and hard-working as well as being a perfectionist, practicing for hours until she gets a scene just right.

### Early Life

It is unknown how Kokoro lost her parents, but she has been living on the streets of Okyurio and then in the backstage of the theatre for as long as she could remember. Ever since she discovered her passion for acting when she was seven, Kokoro dreamed of being able to soar high above the stage and sing, howver this was crushed almost immediatly when she realised her wing defect, and took a huge toll on her sanity. The one thing she was really passionate about, she couldn't be the best that she knew she could, just due to one little thing that she couldn't control.

Nyx Yamiko first noticed Kokoro when she was about 9 years old. He took an immediate liking to her, frequently talking about her, watching her performances, and even making her perform privately for him in his castle (with Hanami being there with Nyx). Kokoro doesn't mind doing these private shows though, as it gives her a little extra money to help her get by.

## Relationships

**Nyx Yamiko -** Nyx is a huge fan of Kokoro. She is his favourite performer, and has therefore cause her to earn her fame. Nyx has implied that he would like to do *things* to Kokoro as well as making lewd comments about her, however he done anything physical to her.

**Ember Takashiro -** Being almost the same age, Ember was able to talk, relate, and get to know Kokoro the best when she, Akane and Tekkit first met her. Ember was Kokoro's first friend, and they became very close, with Ember talking Kokoro out of commiting suicide and helping her heal from her trauma, despite Kokoro's sour and mean outside. In the future, they become even closer and start dating, eventually getting married.

**Hanami Tame -** Kokoro and Hanami are mere acquaintances, having barely ever talked, and only seeing each other when Hanami is in Nyx's lap during Kokoro's private performances. However, Hanami seems to care about Kokoro, the only words they've shared being Hanami warning Kokoro about Nyx by saying "Please, watch out. Don't get to close to him, you're too young to get hurt."
