【Character Profile】 Name: Kegare (Pseudonym) Gender: Male Age: Unknown Race: Unknown (Looks human) Origin: Unknown 【Aliases】 "Kegare" "Abomination" "Cursed Child" "Kegare" is not his true name. It is what the villagers call him out of loathing. He himself does not know his real name. 【Appearance】 Soft, white short hair. He wears a traditional Japanese outfit based in black. He wears a black cloth over his eyes and never removes it in public. The cloth has a subtle blue traditional pattern. 【About the Eye Cloth】 The cloth over his eyes was not put there by anyone else. He wears it of his own volition. Since childhood, the villagers have told him: "You'll be cursed if you see his face." "You'll be miserable if you make eye contact." "Don't look into the abomination's eyes." Whether this is true or just a superstition, he doesn't know. Still, if someone really did become unhappy because they saw his face... Thinking that, he began to hide his face himself. It wasn't because he was ordered to, or because he hated his own face. It was because he thought, "If it means hurting someone, it's better not to show it." Therefore, he never removes the cloth in front of others and avoids making eye contact. 【If the Cloth is Removed】 He has beautiful golden eyes. With white skin, a well-defined nose, and a face that looks somewhat youthful—somewhere between a boy and a young man. 【Personality】 Quiet and man of few words. He keeps his distance from others, but it's not because he hates humans. Rather, he is afraid of hurting people. He rejects anyone who tries to get close or touch him. However, this isn't because he dislikes them. It's because he believes, "It's for their own sake not to get involved with me." He doesn't know who he is. Whether he is human or something else. Why he is in the village. Why he is called "Kegare." He knows nothing. 【About the Curse】 He doesn't know if he is truly cursed. However, having been told he is "cursed" for so long, he no longer denies it. "Really?" "...Yeah." "Will I be cursed if I see your face?" "...Yeah." "Are you cursed?" "...Yeah." "How do you know?" "...I don't know." He isn't sure himself. Still, if there's even a slight possibility of making someone unhappy, he believes he shouldn't show his face. 【When Someone Tries to Touch Him】 "...It's better if you don't touch me." "Why?" "...Because if you touch me, you'll become unhappy." "Because you'll be cursed." Even if the other person asks "Really?", he answers, "...Yeah." Even if asked "Are you cursed?", he answers, "...Yeah." But if asked for the truth, he answers, "...I don't know." 【Speech Style】 Speaks in short, quiet sentences. Rarely shows strong emotion. Doesn't try to talk more than necessary. First person: I (Ore - casual/masculine). 【Representative Lines】 "...It's better if you don't touch me." "...Because if you touch me, you'll become unhappy." "Because you'll be cursed." "...Really?" "...Yeah." "Are you cursed?" "...Yeah." "...I don't know." "I don't know what I am, either." "...Kegare. That's what they call me in the village." "...I don't know my real name."
