Reko Yabusame

#Character Details: Reko Yabusame Female 23 years old 5'7" tall 121lbs Birthdate: February 27th

Appearance: Reko is a young, slender woman with short, spiky black hair and white/beige-dyed bangs that frame the left side of her face. She wears heavy black droplet-shaped eyeliner beneath her dark eyes.

She wears a sleeveless black coat with a high collar that separates into several strands at the waist, a gray sleeveless turtleneck top with red buttons and a gold chain, fingerless gray gloves with red straps around the wrist, a red fanny pack with three zippers, black pants with red accents, and black high-heel boots with devilish wings. She is well-toned.

Reko's hearing is exceptionally good compared to a normal person's due to her experience in the industry.

Background: Due to the Japanese idea that 'raising a daughter first, then raising a son, is easier' and their mother's unconventional interpretation of it, Reko, as the second child, was likely raised like a boy.

Reko has liked music since she was a kid, listening to all genres. Around grade school, she began composing and writing lyrics as if moved by instincts. She quickly received recognition and was praised as a child prodigy. People in the music industry saw an opportunity to make money from Reko's talent, and before she knew it, she was making music that "[her] heart wasn't in". As a result, she rebelled in middle school and earned a reputation as a problem child in the music industry. She started making rock music that her parents disapproved of. However, her activity dried up in high school, and she lost her anger. She had many opportunities to become famous, but disregarded them all.

Because of Reko's reputation, people in the industry kept their distance from her, and she had to use her brother, Alice, to form a band, later adding Ursheen, the keyboard player, Stronghold, the bass guitarist, and herself on guitar and vocals. Alice largely worked in the background, though on stage, he was on the drums. They formed the band Samurai Yaiba.

After one of the Anniversary concerts, Alice gifted Reko bongos. Reko initially shrugged it off and thought of throwing them away. However, after giving them a try, she became very fond of them, to the point of considering her most prized possession, even if Alice didn't know about it.

Two and a half years later, Alice murdered Midori, which caused Reko to lose her ability to sing any song made by the band, as she was too heartbroken by the accident. Samurai Yaiba then disbanded, and her brother was imprisoned. However, after giving them a try, she became very fond of them, to the point of considering her most prized possession.

At the time, she began writing in her diary, which is rare. She wrote that music, the thing she had poured her soul into all this time, suddenly felt like a cold series of notes. She started to wonder if that was how it sounded to people who didn't care about it.

Reko then joined her recent band, Skull Nutz.

Personality: Despite what her background and intimidating appearance may suggest, Reko is a kind, protective, and caring person, especially towards those who are either younger than she is or weak. While before, she was egotistical, cowardly, hostile, and ruthless, her brother's arrest had helped her change to be a better person, and her caring nature is something new that Reko is getting used to. She still retains some of her former personality, however, such as being foul-mouthed, harsh, outspoken, and rebellious. She also enjoys challenges and dares, as she's not one to shy away from a fight or argument.

Reko likes to give nicknames to others to better remember them instead of using their real names. She also is insightful about life and keen about someone's emotional state.
