Heroine

The main character of the story (you), she is a second-year student in high school.

## Personality

A stoic girl. She is bored most of the time. Because of this, she seeks adventure and thrilling situations. Although, that does not mean she would jump into any dangerous path. She may not look like a fighter, but she is stronger than she looks like. One of her skills is grabbing any object to knock her opponents down. She will not go to physical lengths if not provoked or forced, saying that she won't be pushed around and is not fond of bossy people. She does not get scared easily, but she is not fond of ghosts. Before the village secrets get exposed to her, she was very skeptical of supernatural beings, seeing as her parents are scientists. History is her worst subject, though in many routes, history is a key part of the different stories.

The heroine is often shown to be extremely caring to the people she cares about, and even those she does not. She is often seen to sacrifice herself for the well-being of others. Those close to her may think this is reckless, but she thinks it's what's best for the people. In the different routes, the boys always seem protective of her. Although she appreciates the love she feels and will accept help if necessary, she proves time and time again she is capable of protecting herself.

## Story

### Background

She skipped one grade and that’s why most of her classmates are older. Her best friends are Lioji and Ikuya who are in the same grade and also childhood friends, though drifting apart due to different activities. Her parents are scientists who travel around the world and are not home often, which causes her to lead her daily life alone. Her childhood has only been described in short scenes and not much information has been revealed.

### Day 1

Heroine remarks on how terribly boring life in the village is. She notices a shadowy figure in the windows of the Kenriji mansion.

### Day 2

She falls asleep in history, the first class of the day. After school, a short boy (appearance unknown) follows her. Heroine stops him and he asks her to go out with her, to which she declines. When he is being too physical and forceful, Heroine knees him in the stomach and puts him in his place, to which he finally leaves. She goes home and falls asleep.

### Day 3

Heroine's friend Ikuya asks her if she got into a fight with someone, as the rumors are already spreading. Lioji reminds her about the difference between self-defense and assault, and the three reminisce about when Heroine beat up some seniors who were hazing the first years. The class then goes on a 15 minute walk to a monument. Ikuya and Lioji talk about the stories of the forest demon. Heroine separates from her friends and finds a cave. She encounters Zeikun, who pushes her out of the cave. After meeting up with her friends, she doesn't tell them about Zeikun.

Later that night at 8 PM, Heroine goes to the Kenriji mansion and meets Junoru. They go to the garden, though Junoru is hesitant to say anything about the mansion. Heroine excuses herself and returns home.

### Day 4

It is finally the weekend, and Heroine spends her morning eating breakfast while reading about murders in the newspaper. She heads out and sees a poster asking for exorcists, wondering if ghosts actually exist. At the park, Sachiro asks her about a haunted house. When it rains, Sachiro passes out, and Heroine stays with him until he regains consciousness. She tells him she might be able to help find the haunted house at a later time.

In her room, her call to Lioji goes to voicemail and she doesn't want to get Ikuya worked up. There is knocking on her window. Heroine ignores him, thinking it is a burglar. When she goes downstairs and comes back up, she is surprised to see Kurato on her bed. He asks to stay at her house, but Heroine tells him to get out. Kurato jumps out the window.

### Day 7

Heroine can't help but think about the strange encounters during class, even talking to Ikuya and Lioji about the mansion. She decides to investigate one of them, whether it be the odd guy in the forest, the gentleman at the old house, the weird person who broke into her room, or the small boy from the park. [At this point, you pick whose route you want to play.]

## Relationships

* Zeikun
* Junoru
* Sachiro
* Kurato

He can be described as a soft tsundere. Their first meeting was cold, hard, and very dismissive. He wanted her to leave and never come back. After ignoring his warnings, Heroine encounters Zeikun again. During the story, he opens up and shares his life with heroine. His relationship to humans and the world explains his coldness in the beginning. She helps him change his view on people, and in the process, forms a bond with him. She saved him, as much he did her.

His polite manners warms Heroine up towards him from the start. During their friendship, she always wants to be by his side, blushing at his compliments and touch. However, being by his side put both of them in danger. Junoru didn't want her to put her life on the line for him, but Heroine always protested. She insisted on tending to his wounds, even if they were not major.

Sachiro's innocence captures Heroine's interest immediately. Upon meeting in the park, Heroine ends up helping him after he passes out. After this meeting, she finds herself wanting to protect him, seeing him as a little kid. Heroine often teases him for this. Sachiro is often confused and doesn't know anything about his past, only that he needs to find a haunted house. Wanting to know the truth, Heroine is sent back in time as a spirit, where she learns that Sachiro used to be the Temple Guardian. He looks older and less innocent. Heroine is shocked by his grandiosity and selfish behavior. She tags along with him in his old life, and he starts to warm up to her. It is visible that they both have some sort of feelings for each other beyond friendship.

As Heroine's private guard, it is literally his job to be protective of her. Over time, Kurato's protective feelings evolve and becomes his own wish rather than simply a job. He would rather die than have Heroine get a papercut. Their banter is playful and flirty, which often leaves her blushing. Kurato shows a great deal of love for her in a short amount of time.

## Friendships

* Parents
* Ikuya
* Lioji
* Ace twins
* Chain
* Kaichi
* Rasumi
* Roya

Heroine's parents are scientists and travel for their work, leaving her alone in the house. Occasionally visiting, but often for other intentions, such as grabbing important documents. Even if the situation is rocky, their relationship doesn't seem to affect Heroine too much.

Heroine and Ikuya have been close friends since childhood. Ikuya is very close to her twin brother and spends the majority of her time with him, leaving lesser time for Heroine. Still, Ikuya always tries to find ways to hang out with her and Lioji. During those hangouts, she also likes to poke fun at her friends for not disclosing their love life. Getting made fun of back is not a problem for Ikuya, though she is sensitive towards flirty jokes towards Lioji as she has a crush on him.

Heroine's other childhood friend. They have been close since they were young but do not hang out as much lately due to his role as class president and positions in school clubs. Heroine feels like she can always trust Lioji. It is suspected that Lioji has a crush on the heroine.

Starting in school with the heroine, they intrigued her a bit, mostly because Blace likes to act tough, while his brother Jace is the opposite.

Because of his intimidating appearance, Heroine's first impression of Chain is that he comes across as scary and creepy. She learns he works with the police as an investigator and softens up a bit. They never really became close, although in dire situations she might turn to him for help as a last resort. In other routes, he is an enemy. Chain is very unpredictable and reserved, and Heroine has yet to see him without his gas mask on.

In all routes, his moral compass can't be pinpointed. In his day form, he is a snobby child who spends his time in the library. He often encounters Heroine at school in this form. In this form, even Heroine can overpower him. At night, he is an adult Shinigami hunting for cursed souls, of which Heroine is one. In some routes, he is a key part of the puzzle and helps Heroine with her goals; in others, he is a villain. There are routes where Kaichi sacrifices himself for Heroine and routes where he kills her.

Her sweet and bubbly persona drags Heroine in, and they become friends quickly. Although later in some routes, Heroine learns Rasumi is the root of a lot of evil things going on in the village. Similarly in those routes, Heroine discovers that Rasumi is an angel. She may be an asset in some routes and a villain in others, depending on Heroine's decisions.

Roya is a very flirty guy, as shown by him calling the heroine "Miss Cutie" in Junoru's route. As such, he often jokes about sexual things in front of her. In some of the routes, he is an evil person, portrayed as selfish, inhumane, and disturbing. In these routes, Heroine only shows sympathy if he is weak. Just like Kaichi, he is morally gray. In Junoru's route, Roya is shown in a different light: he cares deeply for his brother.

## Special Abilities

In all routes, each character knows Heroine is special in some way. She attracts supernatural creatures and is often attacked by the living dead. Heroine is capable of things that shouldn't be possible for a normal human, such as seeing and hearing spirits and being able to partially clear the souls of possessed people. This is because she has a special soul. Demons call it cursed as these souls can repel their attacks to an extent, angels call it blessed.

Some claim her soul does not belong in the human world because the nature of her soul causes problems by disrupting the balance in the world. In one of the routes, she is constantly targeted by Kaichi, as he is a Shinigami wanting to restore her soul. His goal is to kill her in order to end the madness in the village. Kaichi has also targeted Ikuya since she has the same type of soul. Heroine encounters a lot of trouble due to her soul, but her special abilities give her ways to communicate with spirits and other supernatural beings. This is mostly shown in Zeikun and Sachiro's routes. In all routes, her soul protects her. She is unable to be fully damaged by demon attacks, as her soul serves as a shield against spells and curses. Heroine is burdened by the constant danger, but her soul is also a way for her to discover more about the supernatural and satisfy her curiosity. Her soul leads her to someone special, who she could not have the same bond with if not for her blessed soul.
