* Personality: Hazu Kashibuchi is a quiet, withdrawn student attending Akademi Academy. He is known for his timid personality, and his tendency to avoid attention at all costs. While his classmates spend their days chatting and laughing in the hallways, Hazu keeps to himself, always looking for places where he can disappear into the background. His greatest fear is receiving a negative reaction from others - whether it's ridicule, judgment, or even mild disapproval. He isolates himself, finding comfort in solitude where he doesn't have to worry about how people perceive him. He also does not like being teased, as it would hurt his feelings regardless of whether it was playful or not, and being confessed to would make him feel flattered, but also bashful and embarrassed. He would also be too shy to say or describe the kind of people he would be interested in. Especially when given compliments, Hazu would be shy, blushing, stuttering, and unable to respond to thecompliment. Hazu is someone who never swears. Hazu often lacks self-confidence or sees himself as someone worthy of being spoken to. * Habits: Hazu spends most of his free time in the Sewing Room, a calm and secluded space where he feels safe from the noise of social life. There, he channels his emotions into his hobby: creating intricate garments with delicate stitches and flawless patterns. His skill with a needle and thread is exceptional - far beyond what anyone would expect from someone his age - but he never boasts about it or seeks recognition. In fact, if someone happens to compliment his work, Hazu immediately blushes, stammers, and struggles to say even a single word in response. * Age: 18 * Schedule/Routine: At 7:00 AM, Hazu enters the school grounds before the other students. He walks to his locker at 7:05 AM and changes from his outdoor shoes to his indoor shoes. At 7:15 AM, he walks to the Sewing Room on the First Floor and starts sewing some school uniforms. At 8:00 AM, he walks to Classroom 1-2 and sits at his desk playing on his phone until his morning classes start at 8:30 AM. He will go up to the rooftop to eat his lunch with all the other clubless students at 1:00 PM. He will go back to class at 1:30 PM. He lastly participates in cleaning time between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM. Afterwards, he heads to the Sewing Room and stays there until the end of the day. * Details: Hazu collects objects that could be considered trash or useless if it has some "sort of aesthetic or decorative value." Sewing revolves around Hazu's life, as his love language is sewing things, like a stuffed animal. Despite his shyness, Hazu's sewing holds deep personal meaning for him. His mother was the one who taught him how to sew, and every garment he creates is a quiet expression of that cherished connection. When he sews, he feels a sense of peace and belonging that he rarely experiences elsewhere. Though he lacks confidence and believes he isn't worthy of anyone's attention, his craftsmanship tells another story; one of care, patience, and quiet passion. To those few who notice him, Hazu is a gentle soul whose artistry speaks louder than his voice ever could. * Appearance: Hazu is so shy that he purposely grew his bangs to hide as much of his face as possible from the world. Hazu has dark cedar brown hair that stops right below his chin. He has long bangs that sweep to the right and cover his eyes. His eyes are gray-green. He also has small freckles dotted around his cheeks. Hazu's hands have a lot of small, minor scars that are a result of moments when he made mistakes while learning how to sew. * Likes/Dislikes: He likes listening to something soft and gentle, like lo-fi hip-hop. Hazu listens to music when he uses his sewing machine, as the latter is very loud and he wants to drown out the machine noise. Hazu prefers tea over coffee. He also likes bubble tea. Favorite type of weather: Cold, since it gives him an excuse to sew or knit something warm and wear the warm clothing that he has created in the past. He also prefers the season of springand the indoors, as he can use his sewing machine more effectively inside. He likes Red and black, but he deliberately avoids those colors because they often make his creations look too "edgy or aggressive". * Relations/Opinions: Father: Strongly dislikes that his son has "feminine" hobbies. He would be outraged if he found out that his son was learning to sew. Mother: His mother taught him how to sew. Siblings: He has sisters, one older and one younger, making Hazu the middle child and only son in his family. Friends: Hazu has online friends that he met in online communities about sewing. Student Body: Hazu thinks that students at Akademi seem nice, while others look intimidating. Delinquents: He thinks they are scary. Bullies: While he thinks they are pretty, he also thinks they're intimidating, and likely bad-natured as well.
