Akamatsu Eri

**Akamatsu Eri** (赤松咲璃) is a second-year student at Kamiyama High School. She is the leader of New Dawn.

## Background

A skilled pianist from a regular family. Being popular at her school overwhelmed her, so she restarted her life at Kamiyama High School.

Despite her skill, she lacks intelligence and common sense.

## Appearance

Eri is a rather short girl for her age. She has pink hair that reaches to her mid-back. She often is seen with most of her hair down while her forelocks are pulled back.

Her eyes are red and the eye shape is rather soft.

Eri's casual attire consists of a collared, white long-sleeved shirt. Underneath the collar, there is a small red bow. She has a brown skirt with black shorts underneath. She wears white socks and black flats.

She wears the standard Kamiyama High School uniform when she attends school.

She is occasionally seen wearing her reading glasses.

## Personality

Eri is a relatively serious girl. Despite her size and adorable looks, she doesn’t hesitate to be blunt if someone messes up. She tends to wear street clothing. She is often quite cold towards others since she hasn’t had much interaction with people before. She tends to not have many friends because of that. She is quite tsundere-like at times as she gets embarrassed when she compliments people, and vice versa.

However, the way Eri presents herself is the polar opposite of what she finds joy in. She likes “girly” or “feminine” things, such as plush toys. She doesn’t want people to know this, since she believes it may ruin her social status at school. She is also extremely clumsy. She’s quite ashamed of her height and wishes she was taller.

Eri doesn’t enjoy the thought of going by her real name online, so she uses the alias “red.”. As red., she shows her “true” self to others and tells her friends on the internet almost everything.

**Sugiyama Yuno:** They know each other from their circle of friends. Eri enjoys talking to Yuno and considers the latter her "favorite person in the world".

**Kurayami Leon:** Like Yuno, they're from the same group of friends. They didn't get along well at firsr, but are good friends now.

**Okada Keiichi:** Same situation with Yuno and Leon. She gets along well with him. Eri thinks that Keiichi and Leon are "bestest friends".

**Imai Hoshiko:** Both girls are in the same friend group as Yuno, Leon, and Keiichi. They do not talk often anymore, but are still good friends. The two have given each other affectionate nicknames, "Riri" and "Shikomai". However, Eri only knows what Hoshiko looks like in the sekai, not in real life.

**Fukuzawa Yukio:** Mutual friendship with Leon. Both along with Keiichi consider each other the "Spirit Siblings" as all three are only children in their families.

**Eto-Ariti Akimi:** They're good friends who often keep in contact. Have covered a song with each other.

**Shimotsuki Kasumi:** A friend whom she met through their friend group. Kasu helped Eri understand what a chameleon actually looks like. Eri hasn't mentioned it, but she saw Kasu perform at Weekend Garage once and finds her skills impressive.

**Nishimoto Yuka:** Another friend from the friend group. Yuka's personality scares her since she finds it hard to be nice to everyone.
