> Yuki Sato about Kikumi Terayuchi

Since childhood, Kikumi found it difficult to tell the truth to her mom and friends. There was even a period, when she told everyone that her name was Yukina, not Kikumi. She didn’t understand that it was wrong, and she thought that everyone did that too. Kikumi lied about the smallest things — her mood, her feelings, even what she did with her friends or in school. After a few years, her mother got tired of infinite lies and made her go to the psychologist. She was diagnosed as a compulsive liar. Her mother didn’t want to have a “psycho” daughter and kicked her out. Kikumi lived at her friends’ houses and finally found a home at Tatsuya Miyazaki’s place. She accepted his invitation to join Nagisa’s band.

## Appearance

Kikumi has pink-purple hair with two strands of a brighter pink in her fringe and long strands of hair on either side of her face. She has two ponytails opposite each other that reach to her waist and a blue ribbon. She has hot pink eyes and pale skin.

Her casual outfit consists of a white shirt, light blue shorts, high boots and a chef apron. Her band outfit consists of a dark blue jacket, a white crop top, a yellow and blue belt and ultramarine shorts. On her right leg is a long sock in a white-blue stripe pattern and on her left leg is a black leg strap just under her knee. She has black boots with a slit on the front which below that are some spikes.

## Personality

Kikumi seems like a sunny and cheerful person on the outside. She is, however, a cold, apathetic and cunning liar who will lie for the sake of her goals and just because she can. She switches between different identities when talking to different people. Kikumi is a great actor and manipulator. For some people she seems like a cute and kawaii girl who loves cats, for others she acts like a good girl who helps old and sick people. After joining LIAR’S CRIES, Kikumi started to get psychological help.
