Ando Rei

"*Think there's not much time left. It's better if I finish everything now.*"
―Ando Rei
**Rei Ando** is a third year at Kaisei Academy. He is the founder and leader of the unit Chormatic. A reserved person with a perfectionist nature, aware of the time and often seeming uninterested. However, it seems like her has been searching for something about himself.

Created by @angsav\_khc.968 on Instagram, he is part of the Instagram edit fan project Project Sekai : Miracle days (@miracle\_.days).

## Background

### Childhood

Rei as a kid grows up in a rich but busy family. He has nearly every toy he wants, watches every show he likes, plays every games that he thinks is fun, but it is still not enough for a child to grow up like that. The lack of his parents' affection made him lose track of who he was, not getting a chance to actually explore himself. The time feels like it passes so fast that he feels like he already grew up, just like that.

### Education

He started school at home, so he lacked social interaction and social skills. A house that big with maids and butlers going back and forth felt so empty.

His parents tried to make him enter a public school in junior high because they heard from one of their butlers that Rei looked sad when he saw children playing outside. The experience shocked him because he couldn't actually interact with anyone and felt like an outcast. He tried to talk to people his age and to help them with things, but it stayed just like that, without an actual friendship forming. Pressured by those rejections, he thought that he was boring, so he tried to find something he could do.

He tried to practice music like usual but he thinks his skills are not good. He tried to play mobile games, but he kept failing. Other attempts were done, but he still wasn't satisfied, feeling he was good at nothing.

Time passed. Fast enough, he entered high school. He began to think that, if he is not the way he is now, or not even himself, will his life ever change? Will people actually think that he has something and start liking him, building a true friendship? He started shifting into one personality to another, following what people wants so he could fit. He still tries to find something he's good at, but he can't help but think : "isn't it enough to just following them?".

## Appearance

Rei has long grey hair, which are usually tied up, and magenta eyes. His face is rather serene, seeming overly serious and bothered at times.

### **Casual**

Rei Wears a long brown coat, tied at the waist by a black belt. He wears a green tie underneath, superposed over his vest and chemise. He wears his hair mostly down, but with part of it tied at the back of his head. He always carries his pocket watch with him.

### **Chormatic**

His Chormatic outfit consists of slick black pants and of a black vest covering a white shirt with a collar piece. A diamond shaped blue and gold brooch attaches to it layers of black ruffles. On top of his black attire, he wears an ankle length coat in the Chormatic colors : royal purple. The coat is lined with gold lines at its hems, and has an intricate golden ornate near its end. The ends of the coat, as well as the ends of its sleeves, are decorated of small white ruffles. The coat itself is covered by a mid-chest long cape of the same purple, attached by the shoulder decorations which too are lined golden. Rei wears white boots, decorated of gold soles and of a piece of fabric attached by a golden button. He wears black hand gloves as well as a golden belt, after which his pocket watch is tied on his left hip. His hair in the Sekai is worn braided, it becoming longer once entering the Sekai.

## Personality

Referring to his true nature, Rei is a perfectionist, like, a huge one. He wants to believe that he has a progress in life and it's a great one. He tries to care for others at times. He is good listener, he loves listening to people's problems and stories, regardless of his distrust, he will keep the secrets to himself.

However, hard for him to see his own strength, that is why he feels everything he has done will not be enough for him, or for others. He tries his best to keep his "twisted" thoughts from controlling his actions.

## Relationships

* Suzuki Yoko : Unitmate.
* Masami Yaeko : Unitmate.
* Shinjin Tsumugi : Unitmate.
* Butlers and maids: they accompanied him in lessons. They don't really interact as friends, but Rei appreciate their presence as they keep him from thinking he is completely alone.
* Parents: not too close with his parents, in fact, sort of distant. He sees his parents as a figure he deeply respects, regardless anything they did, because he thinks they both work to keep him alive.

## Trivia
