Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams is Kaede Omori's sapient stand, and technically a first-year student at Budo-ga Oka.

Sweet Dreams is a stand that only activates when Kaede isn't conscious, which is more often than she'd like, thanks to her narcolepsy. As such, Sweet Dreams takes it upon herself to assist her sleeping user and use illusions to pretend to be her. While her physical imitation isn't bad, her personality imitation... Is. Making it deeply unfortunate that her peers tend to prefer it over the real thing.

## Further Elaboration on Relationships

### Family

Since she first began existing, Sweet Dreams has felt affection towards Kaede, as well as the need to help and protect her despite having never actually communicated with her. She's not sure what she'd call their relationship... Symbiotic? Family? Somewhere in between? Whatever it is, Kaede matters a lot to Sweet Dreams in a way she's not sure how to explain.

If she could read Kaede's thoughts and feelings through her memories...

Sweet Dreams knows that Nagi Omori exists, but oddly, she's never once met the man. She's honestly kind of bummed about it.

### Friends

Asami Tsuji is Kaede's girlfriend. Since Sweet Dreams often pretends to be Kaede, she hopes she won't end up complicating their relationship. At least she can talk to her stand, Fashion Monster.

Sweet Dreams' talk with Fimi may not have been long, but there's something to be said for plush rabbit solidarity.

Sweet Dreams met Moho Maki and Copycat in the hospital when Kaede was tasked with delivering her schoolwork, and became extremely distressed when she learned the reason for her admission. She agreed to be friends with them both, and hopes they can extend the favor to Kaede.

### Acquaintances

Kazuichi Yami is Kaede's homeroom teacher, and by extension, Sweet Dreams'. She thinks he's a funny guy, but worries about what may happen if he becomes aware of her true nature. She'd hate to ruin Kaede's academic future.

Sweet Dreams has spoken to Jun Ichiame before... But unfortunately, Pika lost track of the thread and now can't even remember what she wanted to talk to him about. Sorry, Chris.

## Abilities

Despite visibly appearing as a very large stuffed animal, Sweet Dreams has a surprising amount of physical strength. While this is usually seen when she lifts Kaede's sleeping body to carry her around, she could probably pull off some decent punchghost maneuvers if she wanted. But her hands *would* make squeaky toy noises while she did it, probably resulting in even greater emotional damage.

Sweet Dreams beats the shit out of you ASMR.

Sweet Dreams' most notable ability is to conjure illusions, the actual kind that you can't touch. Once again, she uses these primarily to assist Kaede and make it appear like she is awake at school. It can be a bit of a challenge to keep her own or Kaede's body lined up with the illusion so something is there if someone were to touch it (especially when it's in motion), but she's had lots of practice over the years, so mishaps have become few and far between. ~~Unless it's funny, probably.~~ These illusions don't hold up particularly well when Sweet Dreams is distracted or distressed.

Less impressive but still useful to Sweet Dreams is her ability to access Kaede's memories. Sweet dreams uses this ability to accidentally be better at tests and schoolwork than Kaede herself. However, she can only access the memories based on what Kaede has seen and heard, and can only guess what Kaede thought and felt at the time through context clues. She doesn't usually go through them thoroughly to preserve Kaede's privacy, only accessing what she thinks she needs during a given situation.
