Ondori Gōzen

Ondori's profile card.

Ondori is a rival in *Heartbreaker: The Visual Novel*, and the antagonist of Episode 5.

Ondori shows Kouhai a new side of herself, admiring her cuteness & natural beauty, and introduces her to the idea of using what she's got in modelling.

## Appearance

Ondori is a young Japanese woman who dresses in ganguro fashion, and is well-endowed with large breasts & hips. She is described as beautiful even without her excessive makeup & accessories, and is never seen without her expensive camera. Her hair hangs loose at the sides, but is tied up tight at the top, sticking out wildly in a manner resembling a rooster's crest. Her eyes are a light orange tone, the same as many chickens. She has a deep fake tan all over her body, off-white eye shadow and lipstick, plus heavy mascara and heart-shaped sequins under her eyes. Her finger & toe nails are painted in rainbow colours.

In her Kareji uniform, Ondori wears her shorts & skirt at the shortest permitted length, and her sleeves just above her elbows. She wears a colourful assortment of accessories themed around flowers & feathers, with gold & silver egg-shaped beads completing her rooster motif. She also wears a pink heart-shaped novelty digital watch, and multiple colourful plastic bracelets. Rather than socks, she wears pink legwarmers with white trims, under large, fluffy, baggy yellow leg-warmers with plastic orange accessories shaped like beaks, giving the impression of chicks. Her feet are bare in her shoes.

As a third-year, Ondori has golden star badges on her tie, belt, and gloves.

In her casual summer outfit, Ondori is just as colourful - she wears a small red jacket over an asymmetrical blue vest pinned on one side to a large white belt, a yellow skirt with a green belt, black & off-white shorts with fluffy hems, and white baggy leg-warmers over black & off-white sandals. On her green belt is an ornate egg, and she has some simple metal bracelets on her right wrist, plus a plastic red bracelet on her left wrist, and golden thumb rings. Ondori notably wears less accessories than usual in this outfit.

Ondori is not seen in casual clothes during winter.

## Personality

Ondori is an eager, high-spirited young woman with a keen interest in photography, and an eye for beauty.

She can't stand an imperfection in her makeup or hair, and will drop everything to fix a perceived "mistake" in her appearance.

Despite her excellent marks, she comes off as air-headed & flighty. Is there more to her than meets the eye?

## Trivia

* Ondori's given name in romaji is pronounced like the Japanese word for "rooster", and the surname is pronounced like the Japanese word for "haughty / pompous".
	+ Despite a rooster being a male chicken, the name sounded too perfect for her, and so was kept.

* The kanji in the Gōzen family's surname comes from 旺 meaning "beautiful / flourishing" and 漸 meaning "steadily progressing", as in "slowly advancing towards becoming beautiful & successful."

* The kanji in Ondori's given name comes from 闇 meaning "dark", 努 meaning "effort" and 利 meaning "profit".

* Her summer outfit is largely a mishmash of trends from the 1990s, to better communicate part of Ondori's lore.

## Notes

* As with many parts of *Heartbreaker*, several "Japanese" names in this project were chosen using not only literal or phonetic puns, but also a variety & mixture of *-on,* *-yomi,* *nanori* etc. readings for kanji that would not be typically used for names in reality, a common technique in Japanese fiction; It is important to remember that *Heartbreaker* takes place in an alternate timeline that - while closely mirroring our own - contains several differences in its fictional history. Good-faith attempts have been made to create semi-believable names (with some artistic licence for fiction & entertainment's sake), but any suggestions for better names and / or kana & kanji should be sent to: AbyzouDev@gmail.com
