…. software being installed on high school students' school-issued devices tracks every word they type. An algorithm then analyzes the language for evidence of teenagers wanting to harm themselves.

Unsurprisingly, the software can get it wrong by woefully misinterpreting what the students are actually trying to say. A 17-year-old in Neosho, Missouri, for instance, was woken up by the police in the middle of the night.

As it turns out, a poem she had written years ago triggered the alarms of a software called GoGuardian Beacon, which its maker describes as a way to "safeguard students from physical harm."

This kid can see the future, hasn't left his house in six months, and seems to be deliberately avoiding his father who is one of your best friends, but you're drawing the line at knowing where the black market is?

aaaaand the Democrats just capitulated and helped vote through a version of the Defense Authorization Act that prevents TRICARE, the insurance provider for active military and national guard members, from covering any gender affirming care for children. 81 Democrats voted to pass it. There were enough Republican nay votes that, had Democrats held the line, it could have been voted down.

Personality

Lana Alarie is a rather hot headed individual. She’s gotten into too many fights over her sister or Itsuki- fights that have landed her in the slammer more than once.

Most people are afraid of her- some even avoid her.

However those who really get to know her see a different side of her. A more gentle side, the side that would do anything to see her loved ones smile no matter how hard the task may be.

Background

Lana was the oldest child in her family. Growing up with a father who was a government official and a mother who was the CEO of a tech company.

Lana was more partial to hang out with her father. Her mother being rather…aggressive towards everyone even her own children. Night after night she would cover her ears as her mother and father fought. After Kanade was born Lana just decided to busy herself with taking care of her younger sister.

She took up art as a way to cope with it all.

Things got worse for Lana as she got older- especially after her father was found dead in his office.

Lana’s mother seemed to get even worse- taking out her stress on both Lana and Kanade. She even allowed some of her more…scientific friends to run all sorts of tests on both Lana and Kanade.

One day Lana snapped- she took her little sister and ran as far as she could.

She did her best to survive- living in a small apartment and taking on odd jobs for money. Occasionally she would do work for a girl named Ryoko- the two becoming fast friends.

Then one day her friend sold her out for money and higher status.

No one knows what happened when Lana and her sister were dragged back home. No one except Itsuki really. The three of them would always go quiet when the subject came up.

When she was around 25 years old she ended up joining a rap group known as the Darling Divas. The group itself disbanded when Lana was 27 years old due to the murder of the groups leader- Kaede.

People lost track of her whereabouts after that. A new artist was making waves in Kyoto at the time anyway- people seemed more obsessed with learning about the works of the artist known as “Facade”.

Little did they all know that same artist would come out to the spotlight 2 years later. Lana “Facade” Alarie would be joining the division rap battles.

Mic + Speakers

Lana’s mic takes the form of a large paint brush with a gold handle.

Her speakers take the form of two giant canvases. The canvases are on two easels and they appear blank at first- progressively painting out words as she raps

Triva

She’s a transgender woman- she didn’t transition medically until she moved out and could actually get the proper surgery but she started socially transitioning when she was 16 years old.

Kanade does her makeup all the time

Her favorite art form is painting

Shes married to Itsukis sister- Yumi Kamiko

She is super overprotective of her teammates- they’re all she has left

Lana let Kanade make the logo

She can speak French

Legally speaking- Sayaka Miyuki of Saitama division is her adoptive mother

She may or may not have indirectly killed several people

She keeps a small switch blade with flowers carved into the handle- it was a gift from her friend Kaede.

She used to drink a lot when she was younger however she rarely drinks now that she’s getting older.

She was extremely close to her father when she was little.

She chose the name Lana as her new legal name because Lana was the name of her favorite video game character.

Not to be traumatized in public, but I feel like it says a lot about the adults in my life that I've begun to refer to my younger self as 'my kid' and have gotten to the point where I cannot think of a single adult growing up I would trust to actually raise My Fucking Kid.

Like, you people are So Fucking Irresponsible. Do you not fucking care? That's someone's baby, that is my baby, and now I have to attempt and revise their life into something actually pleasant and noticeably caring. Fucking Christ, I hate you people.
