#### Character Profile

His father is a highly decorated soldier as a member of ANZAC. It seems that he has been demanded strong masculinity as he grew up as an athlete. His obsession with cute things may be a coping strategy to that stress. These cute and pretty things must have relieved psychological strain.

But he is very ashamed of his hobby. Both his family and his fans expects him to be masculine, not feminine. Collecting cute things is the only coping strategy 15M-RFT17 knows and he suffers extreme anxiety and stress without them. It can be so bad that it develops into a major depressive episode and suicidal ideation.

Please ask the maintainence crew to scatter cute things around the island.

#### Behavior pattern [*Craft Dazzling Armor 20 time(s)*]

15M-RFT17 is always reliable and energetic. He plays better as part of a team than when he is by himself. He assigns roles based on each person's ability and helps them to be at their full potentials when they are struggling. I'm not sure if he maintains the team so well because of his sensitive personality or because of the know-how that he has acquired through many years as a professional athlete.

Anyway, he is always paying attention to how others are doing. It's the same when he is facing an enemy. He carefully scans the target and waits for the right moment, and then he catches his target off guard with a surprise attack where they are weakest. Even if they survive the encounter with 15M-RFT17, they will surely suffer a grave injury.

15M-RFT17 is socially sharp - he knows what words the other wants or fears to hear. It's because he remembers every little word and gesture. Therefore, subjects like 16M-RFT15 or 14M-RFT09, who crave recognition for their abilities and achievements, want to get close to him. He looks into their feat and praise the small details others might miss. On the other hand, in an argument, he is able to find and exploit the weaknesses they try to keep hidden from him. 14M-RFT02's father complex, 16M-RFT22's wavering faith, et cetera...

Although he quickly regrets his actions once he notices others' devastated look, it seems that the habit of exposing others' weaknesses cannot be changed that easily. What is unknown is just unknown - what is known, you are compelled to act on it. He could regret and apologize afterward, but I think it would be difficult to go back to how they were before. His strength of figuring out others' weakness becomes his downfall in these situations.

#### Weakness & Trauma [*Craft Moonlight Pendant 30 time(s)*]

As a kid, 15M-RFT17 was bullied for having girly hobbies. Children at that age entertain themselves by hurting others. He was a victim to that. In elementary school, 15M-RFT17 was small and effete. He was an easy target to pick on.

Since then, he has compulsively kept his preferences secret. Furthermore, his father was a professional soldier and his friends were all in athletic clubs - he was surrounded by 'manliness'. 15M-RFT17 grew up thinking a man has to 'act like a man'. The influence did not come from just around him. In television and video games, the ideal man was a leader and a ruler - a figure of power, not someone who fills his bedroom with stuffed unicorns. That type of man would be the butt of a joke. Anyway, because of his experiences during childhood and the surroundings he grew up in, he thinks his 'girly' personality was something he would grow out of.

As a competitive swimmer, he was always confident, bold, and energetic. 15M-RFT17 never showed vulnerability or the fact that he collects cute and pretty things as a hobby. Not even once.

With all the passion he shows to all he takes on, 15M-RFT17 becomes extremely depleted when he runs out of fuel. He turns anhedonic, irritable, and loses so much emotional energy that 'major depression' is insufficient to describe him.

Well... We can fix it easily enough by just resetting his brain, but it's always the last resort. If possible, it would be best for him to carry on the test. So providing refuge for his mental well-being is important.

#### Likes & Dislikes [*Craft Doll 10 time(s)*]

15M-RFT17 used to collect cologne bottles before he came to the island. It appears he never used them, so he must have collected them for display and satisfaction. He felt self-conscious about his hobby but he couldn't refrain himself. Collecting pretty things was his only way to escape the extreme stress and indulge himself.

Breaking a taboo is more satisfying when one gives the taboo more meaning. The intelligentsia often tend to be perverts in one sense or another because of it... Of course, I am an exception to that

It's easy to find the history of celebrities like 14M-RFT05 or 15M-RFT17. You can find interviews, news articles, and information on their private lives, down to the smallest details. Reading up on 15M-RFT17, all of his SOs had striking looks, but none of his relationships lasted for too long.

Given his personality, it seems he dated others not for physical or emotional pleasure, but just to fulfill his need to 'have' something pretty. Just like how he collects cologne bottles, just to cherish them every once in a while. I am sure they did not want to be treated that way.

#### Acquaintance Interview [*Win 10 time(s) while holding a Doll*]

Ah, Leon. Leon Askin. I saw him in the media a lot. What brought you all the way out here? We don’t keep in touch, and we're not friends or anything... I have nothing to say about him.

Well, we were all young then. The concept of discrimination is a little fuzzy at that age. One guy starts it, and then it's ten guys, and then it's a hundred. I can’t claim I was innocent. It all started when someone spotted Leon looking through the window of a doll store.

Just like that, he became a plaything by the other kids. We teased him as if we were competing. That went on right up until he left our town. Nobody knew it was the wrong thing to do. If only one of us had tried to stop it, would it have made a difference?
