Kawakaze Shirakami

**Kawakaze Shirakami** was a recurring character in the World of the Exceed. She was the twin sister to Fubuki Shirakami as well as a student at Stonewall Prep.

## Appearance

Kawakaze was a sixteen-year-old girl with blue eyes, white hair, and black-striped ears. She usually wore a white-and-black outfit similar to Fubuki's with a blue ribbon. She always carried around a pair of swords with her just in case she needed to use it to protect Fubuki.

## Personality

Kawakaze always seems cold and un-wanting of attention. She seems to try her best to avoid social interaction with anyone besides her sister, Fubuki, whom is the only one that she really can say she loves. But otherwise, Kawakaze can be arrogant and even straight-up rude to anyone interrupting her "precious time", and gets very easily irritated with others.

It's also shown that Kawakaze was protective of Fubuki, and started sabotaging her friendships so she could be protected from harm that they would cause to her, even going as far as giving Tashkent food poisoning so she could be sent home away from Fubuki.

## Relationships

Kawakaze has a mutual hatred with the other Stonewall students and doesn't associate with them normally.

Fubuki Shirakami - Kawakaze has a strong relationship with her twin sister, especially since their traumatic experience they shared when they were younger. When Fubuki's sister burned alive, Kawakaze was a surrogate and provided comfort. However, their relationship becomes strained after Kawakaze starts to interject in all of Fubuki's blooming friendships in an effort to stop them.

## History

### Early Life

Fubuki was born in a privileged and rich household in Pembrooke alongside her older twin sister, Fubuki, and her one older sister.

During her early life, she had supportive parents, and received unconditional love from Fubuki. She spent most of her school years in private academies that only the richest in the city could afford, and lived a carefree and young girl with a happy family. However, that all changed one night when her household was somehow tampered with.

Kawakaze was sleeping peacefully one night when she caught the tint of smoke. She immediately woke up, and knew there was a fire in the house. She quickly made her way out of her room to find Fubuki and her sister, but a barrier of flames was blocking her from going anywhere else in the house. She realized she needed to call for help, and luckily her room was on the first floor so she could get out of the window easily.

Once she was outside, she ignored the screams of her sisters, and ran to the neighbor's house. Once they opened the door, she ran inside and asked to use a telephone because her house was on fire and her sisters and parents were still inside.

Later, once the fire department was called, they managed to save Fubuki and exterminated the fire. Unfortunately, Kawakaze's parents and other sister had been burned alive in the fire, and the children were sent away so the skeletons could be brought out.

After a few days, Fubuki opened up about what had really happened back in the house. She explained to Kawakaze that their sister had found her hiding in a closet and protected her from the flames, burning alive right in front of her. Kawakaze saw this as a movement of courage, and in her sister's honor decided to protect her sister like she really should've that night.

Eventually the two girls were sent to a foster home, and were automatically applied to Stonewall Prep so the family wouldn't have to take care of them anymore.
