Misaki Hayama

Rabid (ラビッド, *Rabiddo*?) (Echidna)

**Misaki Hayama** (葉 (ハ) 山 (やま) 美咲, *Hayama Misaki*?) is a 1st-year student in Yukiru Academy. He was the Student Council security before he died and when he died, he was still the security of the student council but he's a ghost.

## Appearance

He has a slightly red hair and eyes. He wears a white jacket and a black coat. When attending school, he wears the Yukiru Gakuen uniform. He sometimes wear his blue backpack where he keeps his stuff.

When listening to music (or sometimes just for formal purposes), he wears his red and black headphones. His pants are black and his shoes are brown.

## Personality

Misaki is a cocky, foul-mouthed, and overly confident in himself, particularly his looks; he often will brag about how cute he is. He also has a tendency to call people by rude nicknames and isn't afraid to insult others. He knows how to get on people's good sides and sometimes acts nice to someone if he needs to get on their good side. He has also been shown to be quick to cry, especially in threatening situations.

Due to his personality making him a target of bullying in elementary school, he created another, gentler personality in middle school to get along with others better. During this time, Misaki was nice, considerate, and friendly with everyone.

Despite being rude and loud, Misaki also has a more mellow side to him. He gets noticeably dispirited when talking about his past, gets lonely easily, though he seems to have a hard time being honest (choosing to hurl harsh words instead), at times he is able to genuinely express happiness and kindness.

He is very fond of his microscope and science, almost to the point of obsession, according to Shiro. He was a member of the school's science club and had won several awards.

Because of his kindness and intelligence, the school votes him as the student council security, since there is already a president and anything else to serve him.

## Abilities

### Low-Level Supernatural

Misaki is visible to the human eye, though distorted, when he grabs a person's hand and asks them if they know who he is at the school's science room. In other circumstances he is invisible to normal people, except for those with supernatural affiliations such as Shijima.

### Split Personality

He has an evil side in him that he was trying to keep since it's very dangerous when it was released. Sousuke knows about his split personality. They call him "Mitaki". Mitaki is a very evil and disturbed split of Misaki. He doesn't want to tell this to anyone so they won't let him go.

## Death

His death was caused by a mental disorder named **Anorexia**. It was stated that Anorexia is the most deadliest mental disorder. It first happned when Misaki always looks down. According to Rem, Anorexia is the most lethal psychiatric disorder, carrying a sixfold increased risk of death -- four times the death risk from major depression.

The odds are even worse for people first diagnosed with anorexia in their 20s. They have 18 times the death risk of healthy people their age, according to an analysis of the medical literature by Jon Arcelus, MD, PhD, of the University of Leicester, England, and colleagues.

The study found anorexia to carry twice the death risk of schizophrenia and three times the death risk of bipolar disorder. Although anorexia is by far the deadliest eating disorder, death rates are also higher than normal in people with bulimia and "eating disorder not otherwise specified" (EDNOS, a common diagnosis for people with a mixture of atypical anorexia and atypical bulimia).

"Mortality rates in individuals with eating disorders are high not only for those with anorexia but also for those with EDNOS and bulimia, which highlights the seriousness of these conditions," Arcelus and colleagues conclude in the July issue of *Archives of General Psychiatry*.

Because of that disorder, Misaki is now one of the ghosts in Yukiru Academy but his position in the student council is still occupied.
