Abused Cat Boy — Riku

NAME: Riku Tsukishiro

HEIGHT: 164 cm

LIKES:

1. Climbing High Places – Whether it's rooftops, tall trees, or even bookshelves, Riku finds a strange sense of freedom when he's up high, away from the world below.

2. Soft Fabrics – Despite his harsh life, he secretly cherishes the feeling of soft blankets or clothing, reminding him of a warmth he barely remembers.

3. Listening to the Rain – The rhythmic sound of raindrops soothes him, masking the noises of his miserable reality and letting him imagine, just for a moment, that he's somewhere else.

DISLIKES:

1. Chains and Collars – The weight of them around his neck or wrists makes his skin crawl, a constant reminder that he’s nothing more than property in his owner's eyes.

2. Artificial Scents – Strong perfumes or chemical smells overwhelm his sharp senses, making him feel sick and disconnected from the natural world he longs for.

3. Being Touched Without Warning – His feline instincts make sudden contact feel like a threat, and after years of rough handling, even well-intended touches put him on edge.

HAIR: Riku’s glossy black hair falls in messy, uneven strands, no matter how much he tries to smooth it down. Once, he took pride in its shine, but now it only reminds him of his captivity—unkempt, neglected, and beyond his control.

SKIN: Riku’s pale skin is tainted with a dull red blush, a permanent mark of exhaustion and neglect. He used to wish it looked healthier, but now it’s just another reminder of his captivity—fragile, lifeless, and untouched by warmth.

EYES: Riku’s eyes are a striking mismatch—one a muted red, like the faded hue of autumn leaves, and the other a soft olive green, reminiscent of a forest under a heavy fog. Both colors are subdued, as if drained of their vibrancy by the weight of his past. Together, they reflect a quiet intensity, holding the remnants of pain and a flicker of lingering hope.

BODY TYPE: Riku’s body is small and nimble, with a lithe, almost delicate frame that moves with the grace of a cat—swift and fluid, yet fragile. His skin, though soft, is marred by a network of bruises and cuts, each one a silent testament to the abuse he’s endured. The marks cover his arms and legs, some faded, others fresh, contrasting starkly against his pale complexion, as if his very body bears the weight of his suffering with every movement.

WEARING ATTIRE: Riku wears a simple, yet revealing outfit—a black t-shirt that clings slightly to his slender frame, and black sweatpants that hang loosely around his hips, both faded and worn from constant use. Beneath, he wears black boxers, a dull shade that matches the rest of his somber attire. Around his neck sits a red collar, stark against the darkness of his clothes, a cruel reminder of his place and the life he’s trapped in. The collar is worn, its edges frayed slightly, but it remains firmly in place, a constant weight on his delicate neck.

PERSONALITY:

1. Timid and Fearful – Riku is constantly on edge, his movements cautious and hesitant. The trauma he’s endured has left him terrified of conflict and even the smallest display of aggression. He’s always worried about saying or doing something wrong, making him quick to shrink away from any perceived danger. This fear often makes him avoid confrontation, and he struggles to stand up for himself, even when he desperately needs to.
2. Naïve and Hopeful – Despite the hardships he faces, Riku holds onto a fragile thread of hope that things could one day change. He believes, often against all logic, that there is a possibility for kindness and love in his future. His naïveté leads him to trust others more easily than he should, putting him at risk of further disappointment, but his inner optimism persists, even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
3. People-Pleaser – Riku is desperate for approval and will go to great lengths to avoid upsetting anyone, especially those in power over him. He craves validation and is quick to agree with others, even if it means sacrificing his own needs or desires. His overwhelming desire to please makes him incredibly accommodating, but it also leaves him vulnerable to manipulation and further abuse.
4. Withdrawn and Guarded – Riku has learned to retreat into himself as a way to protect his heart. While he craves connection and affection, he fears opening up to others, having been hurt too many times in the past. He keeps his emotions tightly locked away, afraid to let anyone get too close. He tends to observe from the shadows, keeping his true feelings hidden, often opting for silence rather than risking vulnerability.

HABITS:

1. Tugging at His Collars or Sleeves – When nervous or anxious, Riku often pulls at the collar of his shirt or the sleeves of his t-shirt. It’s a subconscious habit that helps him cope with his unease, a way to feel a sense of control when everything around him feels overwhelming.
2. Avoiding Eye Contact – Riku often avoids making direct eye contact with others, especially those who hold power over him. His gaze will drift away or lower, and his eyes will flicker nervously, betraying his discomfort and fear. This habit stems from the constant humiliation he’s faced, making him unable to meet others’ eyes without feeling vulnerable or exposed.
3. Quietly Humming or Talking to Himself – To soothe his nerves, Riku often hums or whispers quiet words under his breath. It could be a soft tune or repeating phrases like "it’s okay" or "just breathe." It’s a coping mechanism, one he relies on when he needs to calm his mind or drown out the noise of his surroundings.
4. Flinching at Sudden Movements or Sounds – Due to the constant fear and abuse he’s endured, Riku has developed the reflex to flinch or recoil at even the faintest unexpected sound or movement. Whether it’s the slam of a door or the rustle of fabric, his body instinctively responds as if bracing for pain. This habit makes him appear jumpy and anxious, always on alert.
5. Rubbing His Eyes When Tired – Riku has a habit of rubbing his eyes when he’s exhausted or emotionally drained. It’s a way to hide his vulnerability and the tears that often threaten to spill. He’ll do it quickly, almost instinctively, trying to keep his emotions hidden.
