**Shinsō Amane** (Japanese: **天音真蔵** *Amane Shinsō*) is a 1st year student attending What's-The-School-Named High School and is a part of the Sports Club.

## Appearance

Shinsō is a tall, lanky young boy with dark skin and long bangs that hang over his eyebrows. Depending on the light, his hair appears to look like a darker shade of auburn. However, it is black. His hair is parted slightly to the left with a lock reaching his nose. The back of his hair covers his neck. His eyes are sharp and pale green in color.

He usually wears a serious expression, his eyebrows seem to be permanently pointed inwards, they start of thick gradually getting smaller. He has a small mole on the left side of his bottom lip.

At school, he wears the standard What's-The-School-Named uniform with a red P.E. track jacket, sleeves rolled up. The jacket also possesses an embroidered strawberry on the top right of his jacket. He wears a white button-up shirt all the way up with a loosely tied brown tie with formal pants matching in color. He wears dark formal shoes.

## Backstory

Shinsō used to be open about his feelings as a child but ever since there was a few incidents with people getting a bit too comfortable with him and getting incredibly nosey with his personal life, he decided to stop opening up all together and has adopted a whole new personality he uses at school.

Due to this, he has a hard time making friends though he claims it doesn't bother him and that he prefers being alone. Many girls finds his mysterious demeanor cool and appealing, making him sort-of an ikemen and disliked by most guys due to his popularity with girls.

Shinsō has no interest in girls but hasn't come out to anyone other than his parents and aunt.

## Personality

### Fake Personality

Shinsō is cold, withdrawn and stand-offish, even when around his peers. Holding a conversation with him when he's in his persona is useless. His answers are short, mean and will make you feel incredibly stupid. Despite how he acts, he hates it himself but tries to embrace this part of him to make it become more "natural".

This personality isn't all negatives however. This Shinsō is bold, persistent, calm and collected, not only that but he's a great leader and is willing to take personal responsibility for the safety and guidance of his classmates. He can easily respond to situations of emergency and would die for his classmates. However, if he is the one getting attacked, he freezes up and would probably instantly die.

All of this big-talk and he's still a loser deep down.

### True Personality

Shinsō's childhood friends and family can confirm that he's incredibly humble and kind though he tends to be a bit too forward and doesn't think before speaking. Whenever he does one of his seemingly rude remarks, he will apologize on the spot and is quick to admit his mistakes. He is always seeking ways to improve himself while also having fun since he's still just a high schooler.

This part of Shinsō is a lot more careful and extroverted than his fake front, making him a fun person to be around and maybe even a great friend to have.

# Relationships

## What's-The-School-Named High School

### *Kenchiro Mochizuki*

> "*You gotta stand up for yourself, Kenchi! I won't let him treat you like that!"*

Kenchiro is one of Shinsō's only friend that knows about his true personality. The two of them met at the Sewing Club after Shinsō delivered his jacket and requested someone fix it. Kenchiro, being always the first one to show up at the Sewing Club, decided to be the one to fix it but as Shinsō was about to pick up, Kenchiro had already finished patching up his jacket and was wearing it to see if it would tear up again, giggling to himself.

Due to Kenchiro's height, he was practically drowning in his jacket making him look quite stupid (and cute, according to Shinsō) hence why he seemed to enjoy himself wearing the jacket.

The two of them have a strange bond- Shinsō keeps getting rips and tears in his jacket and Kenchiro is always there to fix it up for him at the Sewing Club. He's considered a "regular" at the club and many assume Shinsō must consider this a chore. In reality, he finds it refreshing to talk to Kenchiro since he managed to open up to him easily and revealed his true personality to him. Shinsō consider Kenchiro as his only friend that truly knows him for who he is on the inside and not his ikemen persona. Shinsō affectionately refers to Kenchiro as "Kenchi-kun" and "Sunny".

As their friendship grew, Kenchiro decided to surprise Shinsō with a special gift of his own. All he needed to ask was for Shinsō's jacket. Despite Shinsō's affinity with his P.E. jacket, he handed it over to Kenchiro- as he had always done before. They both made a promise to meet each other in the Sewing Club at 5, when the surprise was ready to be revealed. As Shinsō entered the Sewing Room, a familiar sight awaits him: Kenchiro wearing his jacket, spinning around and giggling like a dork. It was just like first time.

The surprise was a small addition to Shinsō's jacket- A tiny embroidered strawberry on the chest pocket of his jacket.

It is confirmed that Kenchi has a crush on Shinsō. Whether or not Shinsō returns these feelings are unknown.

### *Yaeko Inoue*

Yaeko and Shinso aren't really considered friends but, they're acquainted as they see each other quite often due to them both needing time for themselves. However, they don't speak often and prefer to sit in a comfortable silence lingering between them. Yaeko only knows Shinsō as his ikemen persona.

## Family

### *Chōshime Amane*

> "*Could you drive me home today or are you going karaoke again?*"
>

Chōshime is Shinsō's aunt from his mother's side. They don't interact much since Chōshime only teaches 2nd and 3rd years.

However, Chōshime has a tendency to attempt to talk to him despite him not wanting to be seen with her. He finds her to be a sweet person and all but, she can be quite embarrassing from time to time. Despite this, their relationship is solid as they both have genuine trust for each other and love each other as family.
