Kisara being shy and Seto being cold-natured is a good thing because if they walk the earth together as lovers its atomic levels of dangerous like these twos souls are caught in an endless loop of submission and dominance and forever fated to long for each other with 5 millennia of built up longing when they start getting sweet THEYRE GETTING SWEET like theres no way theyre living like this?? everyday?? you cant feel that much its not possible?? CHILL. No??? well witnessing them side effects include nausea, fainting, headache, heartache, ears ringing, hands shaking, disorientation, all stroke symptoms etc.

How would you all feel if I remade this blog into a sideblog? I will still answer everything I owe if I move. I just think it might be easier for me if she's moved onto a sideblog on my new multi when I make it.

Mai/Kisara, one-shot, pre-Season 4. Warnings for gore, mild dragon-related body horror

SUMMARY:

Mai freezes in place, crouched down in front of the sorry corpse, arms around her knees. She can’t make herself turn around to face whatever horror has strangled the life from a warehouse full of bodies. “Don’t kill me,” she gasps, a sound just as broken and piteous as that corpse's last whimper, just as futile. She’d never thought she would plead at the end; turns out there’s nothing like imminent death to wake up the part of your brain that desperately wants to be alive after all. But death doesn’t come. And it doesn’t come. And in the third minute of death not coming, another sound breaks the silence behind her- Don’t, a small voice repeats in a whisper. Don’t - kill - me - but the syllables are strange, thickly awkward, like they’re unfamiliar to the mouth speaking them. Mai realizes that after months of speaking only in English, her last words had somehow slipped out in Japanese. - A hopelessly adrift Kujaku Mai is on a mission to prove that she's worthy of the Seal of Orichalcos. Her very first assignment leaves her with the world's most unnerving houseguest: A woman with white hair, blue eyes, and the ability to rip human beings apart with her mind. Mai/Kisara

Breathtaking

Joey knows it's bad manners and probably distasteful. Really, he does.

Despite what others may think, he really is a gentleman. Tries his best to be, at least.

Unfortunately, his mouth has always run quicker than his brain. Usually it just gets him into a bit of trouble he can't talk his way out of, but every now and then it just leaves him embarrassed and humiliated in front of pretty people.

He will not let this be a repeat of that situation though. Not when the girl who's grabbed his heart is the most gorgeous, ethereal woman that he has ever had the privilege to lay eyes upon.

Especially not when she's Seto Kaiba's fuckin' personal assistant.

It's not often Joey comes to KaibaCorp -- okay, he never comes to KaibaCorp -- but Yugi had invited him along for one of his weekly matches with the man himself.

And for the first time in his life, Joey just cannot focus on the game playing out in front of him.

Not that seeing Yugi and Kaiba duel isn't always some sort of spectacle -- and these days, filled with so much innuendos and flirting it's like watching a particularly captivating trashy TV show -- but no matter the dramatics or the plot twists, Joey's attention is firmly held by the pretty woman sitting next to him in the spectator stands.

Kisara, Joey knows her name is after hearing Kaiba bark commands at her. Silky white hair flowing over her shoulders and curling round her pale face. Her eyes are a beautiful sparkling blue, intensely focussed on the laptop sitting on her knees.

"Hey, how's it going?" Joey says to her and fights the urge to wince.

Really? That's the best he can do?

Kisara blinks and turns her head to face him, concentration broken as she looks at Joey like she's only just realised he's there.

"Oh, hi. I'm just working," she tells him with a quick smile and fuck is it breathtaking.

She turns back to her laptop and Joey curses silently as he realises he'd missed the opportunity to say anything more, too captivated by her stupid pretty smile and now if he tries again it's gonna be awkward and god, what if he makes her uncomfortable?

Kaiba and Yugi's duel finishes soon after and Joey practically runs up to Yugi to try and escape his spiralling thoughts. The two of them are halfway to the door when Kaiba grabs his arm and pulls him back.

Joey whirls around, a taunt on the tip of his tongue. What's wrong, rich boy, want me to beat your ass too?

But he stops when he sees Kaiba's sneer.

"Don't hit on my assistant." He warns "Kisara is too good for a mutt like you."

Joey feels himself flush, pulling his arm out of Kaiba's grip.

"Fuck off man, I was just being polite!" He snaps back.

Seto's sneer falters slightly as he narrows his eyes, looking Joey over like he's some fun new puzzle to solve.

"At least wait until she's off the clock. I can't have you distracting her."

Seto stalks off before Joey can get another word in, Kisara at her bosses side in an instant. Despite recieving Kaiba's blessing -- which he didn't want or need, by the way -- Joey is almost certain it's not gonna do him any good anyway. Kisara is way out of his league, as usual, and totally not interested in him. As usual.

Joey suspects he has a type.

But just when he thinks he's done for, Kisara looks over his shoulder to shoot him a wink and a smile.

Oh. Joey thinks, heart beating so fast it could burst from his chest. I'm totally in love.

[kunikinnie]

a/n: this one was in the drafts for a long time lol anw hope you guys like it!

birthday

Today passed quicker than you expected. Since your birthday plans were canceled due to his work, you had much more time to do other things - although of course the disappointment did not fully dissipate. 

You were typing away at your laptop, focusing on work that demanded utmost attention, and by the time you had finished the clock almost struck midnight. Was it that late? Oh well. One last look at your phone messages was all you had to do before sleeping anyway - your heart was especially expectant when you checked on his conversation - but there was nothing. Such was life, you thought, and you were about to tuck yourself in when a loud knock interrupted you. 

Curiously you strode to your door, and the moment you opened it you nearly gasped at the mess of a man standing in front of it.

“Wh-what am I looking at…?” you asked in confusion.

“Your boyfriend…?”

Tetchou was far from presentable: his cap was barely on his sweaty hair and his uniform stained with blood aside from the torn and frayed portions. It was the complete opposite from the bouquet of flowers in his two fingers that were immaculate and fresh.

“No, I mean what is that?” 

Your eyes were fixed on the large triangular metal sheet with “Happy Birthday” hastily painted on it. The marks of steel being ripped from its center were apparent, so this could only be…

“I thought flowers weren’t enough so I wanted to make a placard… but I didn’t have any materials so I just used this traffic sign that I accidentally cut off during the chase.”

The absurdity of it all made you question your sanity. So he couldn’t find an illustration board or something similar but there was paint lying around? Were you just in a fever dream? That was the most logical explanation, but the strength of the scent of his sweat when he stepped closer to you suggested otherwise. 

“Sorry… is it too much?” 

The puppy eyes that you kept falling for had landed a critical hit once again. Yes, it was too much - too much compared to what you had expected he would ever do for you for something so inane as this. Yet your heart couldn’t help but swell with delight at his efforts.

“You didn’t have to, but thank you..”

Without further delay you let him inside your warm apartment. He handed over his bouquet and the improvised placard which you placed on the table and swapped for your own present. All the while you continued to barrage him with questions and words of concern: Why was his uniform in tatters? Was he injured? Why did he push himself to come here today? Yet he answered none of those and simply sprawled beside your bed. 

“At least change first, please?”

“Too tired… ran all the way here,” he panted. The image of him running poker faced with the giant stop sign was one you never thought you’d have to imagine, but then again nothing was impossible with Tetchou.

“Besides,” he continued, eyes only half open. “I promised you I’d come today. You were so excited so… can’t… just…”

You quickly caught him before his face hit the floor. He should have come tomorrow instead. Or maybe on the weekend if he was that busy. A few more days to add to the weeks you hadn’t seen him in person was nothing compared to his immediate welfare.  

The guilt and gratitude overflowed as you pulled him up to your bed. He always took care of you whenever he could, so helping him get a good night’s sleep is the least you could do in return. And that in itself was something you were more than glad to do for him - why would you do any less for the love of your life?

You placed a soft kiss on his forehead.  “Thank you, Tetchou,” you whispered before finally retiring for the night in your spare futon.

And may I also request touches #2 with Mitsuhide? I love doting on that man so much!!

Thank you for this request - sorry it took me so long to get to 🥺

Blue Christmas - Mitsuhide Akechi x Reader (ikemen Sengoku)

A/N: Day 4 of my Twelve Days of Christmas. Also part of my New Year, New Celebration follower celebration.

Pairing: Mitsuhide Akechi x Reader

Prompt: running fingers through hair

Word Count: 562

Tags: fluff

It was a cold and blustery day in December as you strolled through the streets of Azuchi. Your hands were filled with bags brimming with gifts for all your friends, including an extra special one for Mitsuhide -- a small porcelain mouse. 

Christmas was one of your favorite holidays – the lights and the trees and the family dinner of fried chicken were just some of the things that made this holiday so special to you. You had thought this year would be bittersweet, as it was your first away from home, but it had been anything but so far. Christmas might not have come to Japan yet, but there was nothing stopping you from bringing the spirit of the holidays here.

 You had planned to sneak out that afternoon under the ruse of needing to go to the markets in search of new fabric – it was the perfect excuse to go shopping alone to get everyone’s gifts. 

And then you ran into Mitsuhide.

“Where’s this little mouse running off to this early?”

Close. So close to freedom. 

After you informed him that you were going to the market to pick up some new fabrics, you were shocked when he asked if he could join you. Of course you said yes – who would say no to their boyfriend – but now you were in the unenviable position of trying to evade the kitsune somewhere in the market as you purchased the presents.

As it turned out, Mitsuhide was meeting someone in the markets, so it was easy for you to shop in secret. After spending an inordinate amount of time perusing various shops to find the perfect gifts – down to Nobunaga’s favorite konpeito, sorry Hideyoshi – it was finally time to return home to the castle. 

One moment you were hurrying through the streets of the markets in Azuchi, and the next, you were lying flat on the ground. Cheeks warm with embarrassment, you sighed, your bags lying scattered on the ground around you. Your only saving grace was that no one you knew witnessed your fall.

Or so you thought.

Your stomach twisted in knots as you looked up into the crowd and spotted a familiar head of silver-white hair, suppressing a groan as he approached.

“Little mouse,” he said, offering you his hand in assistance. You slipped your hand in his; he easily pulled you up to a standing position. His eyes flickered over your figure, assessing any injuries. He reached out a hand, tucking a stray lock of hair behind your ear. His hand lingered, his fingers grazing your still heated cheeks, his touch comforting. 

“You really do need to watch yourself,” he chided, his eyes fixed on a patch of ice on the ground. “It certainly would have been a blue Christmas if you had hurt yourself.” 

You turned to him, your eyes wide with awe. How did he know about Christmas? You hadn’t said a word about it as you were waiting until the 25th to surprise everyone. So who told him?

He gazed at you knowingly, his golden eyes twinkling like familiar Christmas lights. He huffed a small laugh, and as if he was reading your mind, he pulled you close to him in a warm embrace, his fingers running through your hair as he held your face close to his heart.

“Lucky for you, I was here to help.”

Can I ask a prompt from the fluff free space, like, Suitor reacting to MC/reader taking care of them when they're sick

If so, can I request Leon Dompteur? ❤️

I may be wrong, but I think this is the first time I've written for Leon. So I hope that I can do him justice! I hope you enjoy :)

Fluff prompt: Free Space- Sick suitor reacting to reader/mc taking care of them

Suitor: ikepri Leon

No warnings just fluff...well ONE curse word, but just tooth melting sweetness!

Leon

Leon wakes up, not feeling well, his head pounding and body aching, stuffed up nose, cough, the works. He tries to hide it, but there is no hiding it from you. You know him so well and can tell he feels like shit just by looking at him. He is startled by your hand on his forehead.

“You’re not leaving this bed today.” You inform him, as he is hot to the touch.

“But…”

“No, buts. You have ministers and such that can see to the kingdom for one day. Besides, you shouldn’t be making decisions in your state.”

He tries to get up, but you are able to easily push him back down in bed. Proving to him that he is too weak to do anything until he has recovered from this cold. He relents while you tell Sariel and the others that he is staying in bed for the day, too sick to do anything.

You spend the day taking care of him. You make sure he is seen by the doctor, who also orders him to stay in bed for the day and gives you a medicine for Leon and instructions on the dosage and how often he needs to take it. You keep a basin of cool water and a cloth close by, using that to help try and bring his fever down.

Though Leon at first, feels he can’t rest, comes to enjoy staying in bed and having you take care of him. He loves the way your hands feel as they run through his hair, trying to help soothe his headache with a gentle scalp massage. His childhood as a slave, he’d never had anyone care for him while sick. He’d always been expected to work. Yet here you were loving him and doing everything to soothe his every discomfort.

By the time Yves brings some soup, Leon is all too happy to let you feed him. And he takes the medicine as you give it to him and reward him with cheek and forehead kisses. Though he most enjoys it when you have him lay his head in your lap. You place the cool cloth on his forehead and then use one hand to absently play with his hair as you hold a book in the other. You read aloud to him like that, soothing him to sleep.

Though he is sick and feeling terrible, he can’t help but to fall asleep with a smile on his face, enjoying the loving care you provide for him. Maybe he would need to have sick days more often.

A Quick Guide to How Ka Work in YGO, because apparently even the anime writers didn't get it:

Every person, everyone, has an individual spirit Ka. It is a little (or big) monster that represents you somehow and is tied to your soul.

99% of people cannot see or utilize their Ka because they don't have the necessary magical training. However, anyone can be trained to summon their Ka. As long as it's your own Ka, and still attached to you, you don't need a millennium item to do this.

When your personal spirit Ka is destroyed, you die.

There is a method by which your Ka can be excised from your soul and sealed in a giant trading card slab instead. This means it is no longer attached to you and you cannot summon it. The person whose Ka has been removed lives, but it's unclear if this has any other effects.

Anyone with a millennium item can use it to summon any Ka that's already been sealed in a slab. When those Ka are destroyed, the wielder will feel the hit (shadow game style), but they won't die unless they run out of magic HP (Ba).

Some people are very special like Kisara, which is that their Ka is so entwined to their soul that it cannot be excised without killing them.

This means that:

People without millennium items can summon Ka, but only their own (See: Mana, Thief King before he got the ring)

A millennium item holder has access to both their own personal spirit Ka and anything in the slabs, and they appear to regularly use both in combat.

It is possible to willingly excise and seal your own Ka away in order to avoid the risk of death upon it's destruction, at the cost of needing an item to summon it.

All of the Ka currently in the slabs, as far as we know, belonged to an individual person at some point. They appear to be harvested mainly from criminals.

Day 13: Make a board based on a character you kin/relate to

This one was the compromise result of the fucking headspace court case we used to settle on a character (I The Headmate Who Runs 90% Of The Blog don't do much kinning nowadays). None of us kin kisara but she has traits everyone usually flocks to when updating their kin list

𝐈𝐤𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐬… 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐬!

↬ May 10th is Maid Day!! The residents get the perfect idea of letting Sebastian rest for a day while they take care of the chores in his stead... while dressed up as maids. Of course, they need a little guidance about what needs to be done, so naturally, they address Sebastian as their Goshujin-sama and ask for orders!

Napoleon as a maid: The Badass Maid

Initially is assigned to take care of the cooking, and is very skilled at doing so. This maid doubles as a bodyguard! When Master Sebastian is surprisingly attacked by a group of thugs, Napoleon steps in with his rapier in hand - fighting in a maid dress is child's play for him! The long frilled skirts swoosh in the air and the headband is still perfectly secured on his head by the time he's got his high-heel-boot-clad foot on a defeated thug's chest!

Mozart as a maid: The Harsh Maid

This maid will make a disgusted face at you if you're clumsy and spill your tea everywhere, making a mess. Mozart self-appoints himself for everything that involves cleaning, not trusting another maid with this task, as he's quite the pedant when it comes to hygiene. Will scold Sebastian if he abuses his day of leisure by eating in bed. If he's being too cruel, he'll offer to play the piano for his Goshujin-sama as an apology.

Leonardo as a maid: The Lazy Maid

This maid does nothing but sleep! He even gets in the way of the Harsh Maid with his large body blocking the corridor and making it hard to sweep the floor. He doesn't care about manspreading even when wearing a maid dress! But you can't be mad at him, with so many inexperienced maids running around, there has to be someone at the ready for fixing broken gadgets and appliances - he is allowed to nap off the time he's not needed.

Isaac as a maid: The Genius Maid

Managing the budget, listing pending renovations and maintenance work, doing Comte's letter correspondence outside of acquaintances, organizing the upcoming ball... who thought Sebastian did all of this too, on top of his other chores?! Isaac tries his best taking care of these things, which bonds him to a desk for the most of the day - and it's perfect for him, because it means he won't show up in front of the others in this absurd short maid dress!

Vincent as a maid: The Angelic Maid

Vincent's only chore could be radiating happiness, because a room with him in it is a room where smiles and flowers are blooming. This maid has to be kept off the kitchen, and the others ended up telling him to make up the beds instead. Since he got done early with that, Sebastian "ordered him" to paint whatever he wants while he's resting contently in the shade not far from where Vincent happily paints in the garden. His maid dress ends up all covered in colorful stains...

Theodorus as a maid: The Bossy Maid

Wearing a maid dress doesn't stop this maid to be scary when angered! Theo's crossed arms are even more noticeably muscular with the short, frilly sleeves. His job is overseeing the other maids and making sure they're not slacking off. He's a bit of a perfectionist, so much to Sebastian's dismay, he ends up rearranging a whole section of the kitchen or another corner of the mansion to what he believes is more convenient for doing quick and efficient work.

Let me know if you want part two! 🤍🖤

☆꧁✬◦°˚°◦. ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦ .◦°˚°◦✬꧂☆

♫♫♫♫♫ I was just guessing at numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science, science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me Oh and I rush to the start Running in circles, chasing our tails Coming back as we are Nobody said it was easy Oh, it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I'm going back to the start ♫♫♫♫♫

Yet another old re-draw of an image I did 10 years ago but with a bit of a better concept to it. So the whole idea behind this scene is that at the ending where Val is supposed to face Akhet as her greatest challenge to keep her memories of this world. Akhet as her guardian still bitters over what the Pharaoh and his relatives have unleashed and done upon the world when creating the millennium items , so he was against Val being around them to begin with , but seeing how the only option upon 'saving the world' was put in their hands , he was patient for the time being until the deed was done and he would take her away from them. I have two separate "what if AUs" that occur , one is basically where she keeps her memories and returns home to her other dimension and the family she has in Barcelona and the second ending is where her memories and other's memories are completely wiped of her and her existence is completely forgotten. However there is still something that lingers to the back of Seto's mind , a memory of someone that is missing in his life but can't quite understand who it is so he keeps seeing visions of a person "he doesn't know." (Whit a little help of Kisara in her own way , she helps him search for her.) In the AU where Seto still remembers her I have changed the ending of DSOD of where instead of going back in the past , he goes in search for her realizing 'what he has lost' and wants to get it back. I always imply in my stories upon how their main purpose and idea is that they help one another to move on from their past and focus on the bright future ahead of them. Surely it takes a lot of time because the process is slow , but in the near future they just both let go of their past and focus on building a brighter future together. ❤️ It takes a lot for him to have this change of heart and give into his emotion once in his life , since knowing Kaiba he only goes mostly for logic and not emotion and heart. Their feelings for one another are displayed throughout their entire journey starting as enemies and ending as lovers. (I love this trope so much and it's so fun to write.) Besides he has Mokuba, Touma and even Karim to bonk him on the head to remind him that he is not some emotionless moron and that he has fallen for someone even if he would never admit it to himself .

Ranger Helper Spotlight: Doduo/Dodrio

I firmly believe any pokemon can be a good partner for a ranger. Even the "scary" or "strange" pokemon can be the right fit for the right ranger and the right situation. But I wanted to do a series of posts on pokemon that are particularly common, or have reputations as helpful for rangers in particular.

First up: Doduo/Dodrio!

Or as they know them in Almia, "ranger bikes". The practice is slightly less common in Fiore, which is small, with population centers densely packed. Only a few rangers keep doduo or dodrio- though there's a reason Joel was the record-holder in the Kisara plains challenge for years. In Almia, rangers keep an unofficial stable of doduo around bases, and are constantly using them to run around the whole region. There are many good reasons for that!

Sharp-eyed watchers The long necks and tall bodies of doduo are adapted to looking out over high grasses in plains. And they have excellent vision. A doduo can spot a target- whether a pokemon, human, or other concern- from a very far distance. And with multiple heads, they can cover a 360 degree view, and take turns sleeping, making Doduo very hard to sneak up on or catch off-guard.

Tireless speedsters There is no denying that Doduo are fast. Again, their long legs are so well-built for speed, that they regularly set records in any kind of time-based challenge. They can run up to 60 miles per hour. In rescue missions, every second counts. And it makes many of them great at escaping an unwanted battle. Dodrio are slightly slower than doduo, but have a complicated circulatory and respiratory system (simplified: multiple sets of hearts and lungs) which lets them keep going much longer without needing to rest. This line is excellent for rangers who want to get to the source of trouble- or get out of danger- quickly.

An-all terrain vehicle with multiple brains I once had someone ask me why rangers (especially in Almia) ride on Duduo all the time instead of using normal bicycles. The reasons are similar to why you can't use scissors to open their own packaging. You know those cool cycling roads, or walking routes? The ones where you don't encounter any wild pokemon unless you go off-road into wild grass? Rangers maintain those. Which means we have to be there when there isn't a usable road. Bikes are an excellent way to travel on a paved or otherwise relatively clear path. Rangers, on the other hand, often have to traverse the kind of untamed terrain that even acrobatic bikes would have some trouble with, or to be able to switch terrains. A doduo, with its long legs and sharp claws, can run across an open field at top speed, pick its way through dense jungle underbrush that would take a machete to hack through, and keep its footing on a steep rocky mountain. And it's even capable of flight! Doduo are smart enough to resist following orders into terrain they can't traverse safely (which is few and far between), or to take their partners home if their rider is unconscious or incapacitated. If I get poisoned in the wild, a doduo can bring me to the nearest base- a bike cannot.

All together, the Doduo/Dodrio line makes excellent partners for any ranger. Their specialty is certainly travel, being able to get anywhere, practically regardless of terrain, quickly and efficiently. But they also make excellent guards, and are intelligent and strategic capture partners.

I was thinking of drawing some art of the student council in Kakeoh, but I'm not sure what some (like personified obelisk the tormentor) look like, do you have any references for them?

Aww! That would be awesome! I'm glad the au piqued your interest enough for that XD

So these are extremely sketchy, but here are the current season 1 designs for the student council members

Close ups and lore tidbits below cut

• Otogi Ryuji - Treasurer of Student Council (Manyuda Kaede/Otogi Ryuji)

Pretty similar to canon Kaede but with a little Duke-ish charm

Also wants to become the student council president

Recommended Risa for the student council

• Kaminaga Dei - Student Council Member/President of Beautification Council (Ikishima Midari/Yami Malik)

Psycho gun guy who gets really excited about gambling

Huge one-sided crush on Yamiko

Joey's face makes him want to throw up for some reason

Has no loyalty towards Kaibami whatsoever

• Nosaka Miho - Head of Public Relations (Yumemite Yumemi/Nosaka Miho)

Her signature symbol is a pink strawberry

Will eventually get a boyfriend

Still hates her fans (Yugi is one of them)

•Ob Bhakta - Secretary of Student Council/Kaibami Seto's Personal Assistant (Igarashi Sayaka/Obelisk the Tormentor)

Hopelessly devoted/in love with Kaibami, gets jealous easily, but keeps it to himself

Comes from a working class family, has really low self-worth

Doesn't gamble a lot but is a borderline genious

Less emotional outwardly than Sayaka

•Kaibami Seto - President of Student Council (Momobami Kirari/Kaiba Seto)

Dramatic, calculated bitch, not above murder

He introduced the housepet system

Besides his twin he has a younger brother

Will eventually cut his hair

Mommy and daddy issues, my guy's a mess

Weirdly obsessed with Yamiko and his fun sized boyfriend thing

•Kaibami Eto - Vice President of Student Council (Momobami Ririka/Kisara)

Younger twin, literally named after her brother

Her name sort of sounds like echo because she's basically just an echo of her twin

Sometimes wears the male uniform so people aren't too quick to catch on when her and Seto switch places

Has very little confidence without her mask

Sometimes finds it easier to be Seto rather than herself

• Dartz Atlan - Student Council Member/Head of Antiques Club (Nishinotoun Yuriko/Dartz)

Has basically the same hairstyle as canon, but a bit shorter and more blond toned

Has heterochromia

All his club members are very loyal to him, loyal enough to fix odds

His club runs a den

Insanely petty

• Fiona Sheldon - Student Council Member/Leader of the Election Committee (Yomozuki Runa/Fiona the Doll)

Daughter of a British count

Has an extensive doll collection

Enjoys sweets and sewing (mostly dresses and accessories for her dolls)

Legit no one knows wtf is going on inside her head

The Election Committee wears pink sweaters and differently styled bonnet hats

• Kageyama Risa - Student Council Junior Member (Sumeragi Itsuki/Kageyama Risa)

Still collects nails

Extremely privileged and spoiled but easily manipulated

Has a crush on Otogi

Doesn't have any sisters

Still kind of into witchcraft
