Original self of Regina Scheherazade and Yuki Hoshizora, the deuteragonist of Sleeping Caterpillar.

## **Physical Description**

Yuki is considerably small-statured compared to her actual age due to lack of proper muscle development and serious malnutrition, to the point when Takeshi met her the first time, he thought she was an underclassman while in truth they're of the same age. She has messy, loose, shoulder-length white hair, grayish blue eyes and pale white skin, as a result of her albinism.

Used to wear glasses, but stop using them after the bullies broke the third one.

Always has bandages around her neck and wrists. Her throat is covered in bloody scratches, Heavy eye bags, Covered in bruises

She’s usually seen in a black sailor fuku.

Her mother shoved her in thick and concealing clothes to hide Yuki's heavily-bruised body, which would worsen her social status in others' eyes.

Her body smell is...not so pleasant, considering she gets splashed with dirty water and head dipped into a washlet almost everyday without any means to have her clothes and herself properly cleaned. There’s also blood scent from her wounds.

## **Personality**

Yuki is a meek, shy and emotional girl who loves Japanese literatures. Due to a lifetime worth of abuse, she is weak-willed, self-deprecative and easily intimidated into thinking everything is her fault. It also gave her the habit to constantly apologize for every single minor flaw, real or imagined, before anyone manages to force her to; She will also says "sorry" for absolutely no reason when she's panicked, and even to a favor, like when Takeshi gives her a canned drink. Takeshi has to teach her how to stop this tendency, as he points out her thoughtless apologies will only feed the bullies' ego and addiction to "justice". She also has little to no social skills, didn't know how to talk back when her would-be bullies badmouthed her - allowing them to take a mile, couldn't defend herself when the teachers scolded her for something clearly not her fault, and remained silent the every time Haru tried to start a conversation with her because she was terrified of messing up.

As she never gets to grow up like a normal kid, she very naive and childlike even for a middle schooler, as well as having severe misconceptions regarding what is "normal" and lacking basic social knowledges. Before knowing Haru and Takeshi, she simply thought that she was meant to be mistreated this way and made no attempt to resist. Her bullies used this to make a fool of her several times, but she can't comprehend the basis behind it. She's somewhat scatterbrained and humiliatingly incompetent in school, though a major part of the reason is her depression - which is known to make its victim forgetful, and she could actually do well if she tried. Many of her "quirks" are mental disorders, from depression, anxiety to PTSD and delirium, or outright Schizophrenia.

Yuki may be diagnosed with mental instability, but prior to a serious breakdown she was relatively normal; kindhearted and thoughtful, even - she often brought food to a stray cat on her way to school and stayed in classroom after school to change the water in the aquarium. She is a dreamy, romantic person with a colorful imagination and talent for writing, who tried to escape from the painful reality by dipping her head in the world of books and literature.

## **Trivia**

* The bullies forced her to go with Atai (あたい), which only used by lower-class, uneducated women, in order to humiliate her while calling her by Onore (己) - an extremely insulting way to address someone. Yuki is aware of this but too scared to fix the pronoun herself, until Takeshi helps her regain her self-esteem only does she go with Atashi (あたし).
* According to Aquarion, her backstory was originally Yuki Hoshizora's before Hoshizora became one with her.
