Kowai Kurai

> "She nodded aggressively, an understanding smile plastered upon her face. "Of course. I understand," she replied, in a strangely serious tone of voice. "I'd be more than willing to share it with others, not just you! I think this is a great idea!" Kowai leaned forward and hugged him. "This is going to be awesome!" *For me, that is. He's right, though, if he died, I'd be the first suspect. So if I do kill someone, it can't be him..."* *- Kowai Kurai to Hisoka Yamanaku,* upon starting their alliance together.

## Personality

Kowai was a very cheerful, kindhearted, childlike, optimistic and rather naive girl, with a warm heart and a smile on her face! (...okay, we're just messing with you, no she isn't-) Or so she appears on the surface. Deep down, she was something of a sadistic soul with a passion for burning things (and people, apparently). She was rather apathetic, and at other times incredibly hateful towards others. She is rather intelligent and heavily calculating. The smile upon her face was nothing but fake, as nothing brought her joy except setting places on fire (if that even brings her joy, for all we know). She's a frequent liar and manipulator, and incredibly morbid. However, it seems she was capable of feeling remorse, and wasn't completely heartless as she seems, based on her interactions with Koda. She was terrible at opening up to people, and it's possible her violent and sadistic, or empty and apathetic nature (depending on the situation), was due to childhood trauma. Kowai was terrible with her feelings (figuring them out and expressing them, not faking them), and often finds herself feeling things she doesn't quite understand. However, she does seem rather familiar with holding emotional grudges, as she frequently holds grudges for multiple characters (with a few exceptions).

## Appearance

Kowai is rather short in stature, namely 5'1" in height, and weighing 147 lbs. She has tan skin, and also a round face, which contributes to her youthful appearance. Her mouth almost always has plastered upon it a fake smile of innocence, and her eyes are very large, and very wide. They bear resemblance to a mix between the shapes of a cat's, and a deer's. In color, they are reddish-brown, like the color of dried blood in our world. Frequently, they look rather empty, unless Kowai is attempting to fake a spark in them. She wears an off-the-shoulder white blouse with purple ruffles lining the top, and lining her large puffy sleeves. Her arms are partially uncovered, and she has faded purple gloves on both her hands, starting at the elbows. Her blouse also contains yellow-and-orange thin straps with bows tied on them. Her torso is rather short, emphasizing her childlike appearance. In terms of accessories, she bears a large light-pink bow upon the front back of her head. Speaking of her hair, she has rather square bangs overlapping the top quarter of her face, on the right side, which stop and curve to the left in a side-swept fashion. Upon her head, she also bears two spiky medium-sized pigtails with small ribbons the color of her faded pomegranate-purple hair. The rest of her hair is rather long, coming down to the middle of her arms or so. It swerves at an angle, and is slightly spiky. Her gloves also have purple-and-white lining and ruffles at the top. She has two long thick locks of hair coming down her ears to her shoulders. She also has a thick gray necklace with a dark magenta heart at the end, encircled with gray. Additionally, she has a thick pink puffy skirt. And there's a lot more to her design, but this is a work-in-progress.

## Relationships

**Hisoka Yamanaku** - Kowai's and Hisoka's relationship started off on shaky ground. At first, Kowai took fascination in Hisoka, while he looked at her with indifference. Kowai introduced herself and asked to form an alliance with him in the Killing Game, and Hisoka agreed, on the condition that they both told each other of their talents, among other things. Kowai was very hesitant, as she was trying to keep her talent a secret from everyone. She whispered it in his ear, and it was at this and Kowai's reaction that stirred alarm within Hisoka, and led him to think that he couldn't trust her. After this point, they are sometimes seen having discussions together, about what to do within the Killing Game. Kowai greatly dislikes and distrusts Hisoka, and yet, it felt to her like he was the only person she could trust, in a sense. Hisoka felt the same way. They both viewed each other in a rather negative light, with hints of something else, from both of them. It's possible Kowai did care about Hisoka in some way, although this is unknown. Hisoka, on the other hand, viewed her with a certain distaste, and also some uncertainty. Before her death, Kowai told him of her thoughts on him, and exposed that he also wanted Femi Davis dead, although this could be a lie on her part. As she was executed, Hisoka had thought of her as nothing but a monster. To this day, Hisoka is still troubled by thoughts of her that haunt him. These two are a frequent joke pairing in the fandom, given their burning hatred towards each other bordering on humorous at times.

**Koda Starikuma** - Kowai and Koda's relationship was... complicated, to say the least. The spark was lit due to their mutual love of crabs, and a bond settled its way quickly between the two of them, because they both were the "weirdos" no one seemed to like, and they both had incredibly painful family trauma. They also shared a mutual disliking towards Hisoka. Koda took an immediate liking and admiration towards Kowai, and treated her with kindness, which led Kowai into deep confusion, as she was used to people either disliking or being afraid of her. Koda even seemed to be more accepting of a little of Kowai's inner self, which had driven away most people. Kowai has had a number of conflicting thoughts about Koda. Denial of Koda's possible feelings for her, questioning if she is pitying her, almost feeling bad because of how naive Koda seemed, and considering her an idiot because she thought no one in their right mind would ever love her (and, of course, trust her as well). Kowai was rather uncertain of how she felt towards Koda, but she made an effort to try not to get attached to her, and several times throughout her manipulation process, she had feelings of remorse surfacing and she did not know why. She did care about Koda to an extent, and enjoy her time with her, but perhaps it was too little time that they had together for her to adjust, perhaps it was the plan she already had in motion, and how Koda was just the perfect pawn for it, perhaps it was her confusion and isolation from any possible feelings for Koda, but she was unable to properly express her remorse and did all she could to hide it. It's possible she had even manifested feelings for Koda, but not even Kowai herself had known if she did or not, but she had connected to her in a way she never had with anyone before. Koda had cared for her, and even loved her, and it hadn't seemed to have been out of pity. And, that, made Kowai's dying moments all the more unbearable for her, although she tried not to show it.

(More to be added, expect to see most characters mentioned as either her acquaintances or enemies qwkjhwf)

**Niwa Atsushi -** Niwa and Kowai had a shaky relationship from the start, when they first met. Kowai's parents died when she was only eight years old, and she was taken in by Mr. and Mrs. Atsushi. Niwa was uncomfortable at having a new sibling unexpectedly in the family. He was very loving towards his other siblings, but always anxious and distant around Kowai. Kowai took a liking to Niwa, as the only person who treated her remotely decently and didn't ignore or berate her all the time, much to Niwa's chagrin. She wound up dyeing her hair purple to look more like his, showing Niwa with great eagerness. At the same time, they were somewhat close, having grown up as siblings. One day, though, everything changed. Kowai couldn't take the conditions of living in the house anymore, and she killed their entire family, all except for Niwa and herself, in a terrible fire. Kowai saved Niwa from the fire, but Niwa never forgave her for what happened. She did everything she could think of to gain his forgiveness, but nothing ever worked. There was one thing, however. Niwa had a deep sense of justice, and Kowai realized she could play to that, so one day, she proposed the idea of The Killing Game. Niwa agreed, and the two of them set up the entire thing together. She hoped that during it, Niwa would forgive her, and the two of them would spend time together, but she was cautious about approaching him, due to his attitude and risking revealing her relation to him to all. Then, later on, Niwa began dating Keiki Meyumi. Kowai became furiously bitter with Keiki for stealing away attention and adoration from her brother, and she was brokenhearted. In her bitterness, in the recordings she created secretly before her untimely death, she prepared ahead of time in the event he would pretend not to be one of the masterminds, to expose him for who he was and what he did. Deep down, she still hoped that the two of them could become close again, but this was a futile hope, as Niwa utterly despised her, and associated her murder of Femi with the deaths of his family. The two of them never made up, and Niwa said that Kowai betrayed him and blamed the entire Killing Game on her upon her death, and that he hoped she was burning in hell.
