## Personality

Minako is a character shrouded in darkness and mystery, evoking a primal and instinctual fear in those who encounter him. There is an ancient and foreboding presence about him that elicits an immediate sense of uneasiness and terror. His aura is so potent that even with the passage of time, the fear he instills does not completely dissipate.

Despite this unsettling nature, Minako gives off an initial impression of regality and ostentation, once one manages to suppress the instinctive urge to scream or flee. He carries himself with politeness and impeccable manners, often speaking in a formal manner due to his unfamiliarity with modern language slang. However, his pursuit of personal interests and ambitions can overshadow his consideration for others, leading him to come across as insensitive and selfish. He struggles to express his emotions, indicating emotional underdevelopment or immaturity. Throughout his life, he has not formed deep connections with others, leaving him unaware of the triggers that could bring his emotions to the surface. Although these tendencies may make him appear cold or airheaded to some, Minako is not oblivious to the need for correction or the experience of regret. Moreover, he consciously suppresses his anger to prevent an involuntary transformation into his true form.

When emotions do manage to surface, Minako becomes confused and tends to dismiss them as inconsequential due to his unfamiliarity with their nuances. Despite his unsettling nature and emotional detachment, Minako exudes a profound sense of loneliness. He wanders in search of a family and friends with whom he can find a sense of belonging in the human world. He yearns for genuine emotional connections and craves the idealized dynamics of healthy relationships that humans possess. Additionally, he longs for the affection of his current adoptive family, seeking the warmth and connection they offer.

Minako's character is enigmatic and multifaceted, blending darkness and nobility, fear and longing. His journey may involve unraveling the mysteries of his true nature, discovering the complexities of emotions, and ultimately forging meaningful connections that bridge the gap between his ancient origins and the human world.

## Behavior and Procedure

Minako’s eyes were a little too bright. In low light, they practically glowed. His pupils seemed a little too small. His teeth were a little too sharp, a little too white, his mouth stretched open a little too wide. His fingernails were a little too long, a little too sharp. He had a habit of staring too long without blinking, especially when he was interested in something.

Minako moved awkwardly, as if he wasn’t quite sure how to control his limbs. He was constantly slouching, but when he did stand up straight (usually when he was being threatened), it was freaky how much taller he was than Ryu. It seemed impossible how much taller he was when standing up straight, as he didn’t seem that tall when he’s slouching. Minako never slept. He just would sit down and stare at the people around him while they were sleeping. No one else seemed to ignore these things.

No one else liked to be in the same room as Minako alone.

No one else let Minako touch them without flinching.

No one else’s hands didn’t tremble when Minako stood too close to them.

No one else liked it when Minako laughed.

Minako did have a strange laugh. It was too loud, too choppy. It sounded forced but it never was.
