Kou Tokei

*romantic orientation;* | biromantic (50/50)

kou is a quiet and calm boy who likes to walk and such during the night; preferring the night overall. he has a younger, adoptive sister named kiko, who is a demon. he is attentive and often will focus on other people instead of himself. he is an AFAB demimale, going by he/they, and is bisexual/biromantic.

kou is a tall, standing at 5'10", left-handed boy with dark brown hair that fades into a light pink. his eyes are a pinky-red color and are somewhat large, turned up into his nose, giving him a permanently tired face. he has dots for eyebrows, being the same shade as the pink in his hair. his skin is tan and heavily freckled. he has a very specific tattoo he gave himself the fifth time he escaped his home, being cherry blossom petals and flowers down his left arm and twisting around his hand.
they generally only have the demon slayer uniform pants, a pair of black zōri, tabi socks with purple straps, and bands of faded, white cloth wrapped around his calves on, having his uniform tops inside the back cubby in the box that his sister, kiko, stays in during the day. he has a blue haori with a hexagonal pattern across it, the hem at the bottom a lighter blue and the inside lining a white color. the haori is often in his box with his uniform tops. kou almost never wears the tops when he isn't in a village or city, due to it being a bit odd for a child to be topless with a bunch of bandages around their chest in the middle of town with a goddamn sword.
he is heavily freckled, with a giant scar across the back (the left shoulder to just above the pelvis, a variety of branches coming off it but never going far), another a scar across the inside of the thigh, two on his knees (one on each), one on the nape of his neck (just above the hairline). he a birthmark under his right eye. the first time they ran away when nine, kou filed their canines down sharper and more prominent. if they bite you, you better fucking believe its gonna hurt like *hell* and start to bleed.
their sword is a dark grey sword with purple accents, under specific lighting sparkling with many different colors. under moonlight it turns a light lavender.

 *handedness;* | ambidextrous; dom left

 *(-);* | ignorant, lot tolerance for annoying people, intimidatingly, airy, clumsy, careless

kou is a relatively calm boy who's mellowness is caused by his constant tiredness. he's calm in the way that's chaotic- who won't stop two people fighting for the sake of keeping the overall atmosphere afterwards calm, only stopping the other two if they actually get overly violent. he's always tired due to sleeping in the day most days, and walking during the night, his sleep schedule only being fixed after he meets inosuke and zenitsu, inosuke, even with him being extremely chaotic and generally not caring for anyone, agrees his sleep schedule needs desperately fixed. he's soft and kind- with a careless personality towards himself; often being clumsy when chasing after another or just....tripping over his own feet. he's protective, with an intimidating aura that scares most people off- mainly due to his sheer height and body mass. he's attentive; one of the main people to notice if someone is hurt, and when he notices someone is hurt, he stops whatever the fuck he's doing and treats whatever wound they have. he's gentle and physically active, many times choosing the kill demons painlessly if he realizes what they're going through or what they have gone through. he's moralistic, with a set amount of morals that he stands by, even if it means betraying the demon slayer rules. he has *zero* tolerance to those who are ignorant, annoying, and will lie to get out of things, many times having to hold himself back from fucking punching them in the face, *hard*. they're sarcastic- sometimes to an over extent, ignorant himself to his own injuries or unhealthy habits. he's airy about most things- death, demons as a whole... a lot, and its due to his upbringing.

**-** they are *uncannily* good at stalking and being evasive, even under the darkest shroud of moonlight.
**-** they are very good at getting hurt, thus leading to them being an amazing healer. they keep medical supplies on them at all times.
**-** he has a stupidly good sense of if someone’s a demon slayer or not and if they’re on a mission or if they’re just vibing. on more than just one occasion, he found a demon slayer and just...followed them around for the day from afar, and when they eventually did attack the demon they were assigned to kill, he took notes on their sword style and breathing tech.
**-** he has an oddly good sense of touch, specifically with feeling or sensing things far away by through vibrations in the ground. this is also probably one of the reasons why they are so good at evasion.

**-** his name is based on him being a evry, calm, peaceful child unti around seven. his last name comes from the fact that he comes from a very well-known clockworking family who are fairly rich and well off.

* kou (康) **|** meaning "ease; peace"
* tokei (時計) **|** meaning "watch; clock"

**-** they have a small cubby between the box where kiko is and their back were they keep a change of clothes, a stuffed bunny, glasses, extra food, medical supplies, urokodaki's warding mask, and lots, and i mean lots, of instant coffee. a telescope is fastened to the left side of the box. there’s another cubby under where kiko is, and being very small in general and able to make herself smaller, it takes up about 1/4 of the room. it’s full of astronomy books and notebooks in general. in one notebook is everything for math, japanese, and history. two of the notebooks are filled of notes from is travelling and finding and studying other demon slayers, and the rest is a bunch of books about space.
**-** they have such a tolerance to caffine that, at the point, they only drink the energy drinks and coffee for the taste.
**-** for having the worst vision within a 10-kilometer radius, they have surprisingly good night vision
**-** they hate school and learning in general with a passion. they will ACTIVELY avoid learning anything that ISN’T useful towards their goals. they know multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, how the multiply and divide fractions, percents and decimals, but thats basically it for math. for japanese, they can write and read rather well - but for reading they have to reread over the passage multiple times before truly understanding what it means. they barely ever write anything but their name and numbers anymore, so they don’t have a use for much else.
**-** they are also extremely into astronomy, having a telescope fastened to the left side of the box kiko stays in. they never explain what it is or what it’s for, everyone just assumes it’s some sort of weapon until inosuke sees kou teaching kiko how to use it at around midnight when he got up to use the bathroom, looking through the glass of the silver cylinder with a calm and patient smile. confused; inosuke asked for them to teach him to use it (well, demanded), and kou begrudgingly agreed. *that was the first night in awhile inosuke didn’t want to attack at everything and everyone around him.*
