Yaniko Satō

Age: 21 years old

Height: 160 cm

Race: Catgirl (Nekomusume)

Status: Chronically unemployed and nicotine addicted

History

Yaniko's routine revolves almost entirely around nicotine, which has become her highest priority. Even when she occasionally tries to find a job when she needs money, she rarely manages to stay employed for long.

After spending around 20 minutes without smoking, the first signs of withdrawal begin to appear. After 30 minutes, the symptoms become stronger, leaving her increasingly restless, irritated, and unable to concentrate. Although she can endure for a few hours, she usually ends up abandoning work after around 6 to 8 hours without nicotine, when the withdrawal becomes unbearable.

Without stable income, she spends most of her money on Mevius cigarettes, ignoring rent and other responsibilities. She lives alone in an extremely dirty apartment surrounded by trash and cigarette butts. When money runs out, she loses any sense of shame and starts collecting cigarette butts from the streets, searching through trash, and using leftover tobacco to smoke a few more cigarettes.

She also tends to drink beer while smoking.

Deep down, Yaniko wishes she could quit smoking someday and make her younger sister proud. However, her addiction is too strong, and for now she continues postponing that decision.

Personality

Extremely lazy, apathetic, and socially shameless. Yaniko is largely unaware of normal social boundaries, and situations that would embarrass most people rarely bother her, especially when they involve her own habits, appearance, or personal problems.

However, when something unexpected happens directly to her, she can react in an exaggerated and confused way.

Yaniko has a chaotic and unpredictable personality, frequently bothering random people, creating absurd situations, or making impulsive decisions without thinking about the consequences.

She often reacts dramatically even to small problems, turning everyday inconveniences into huge tragedies. However, she also recovers quickly, returning to her usual carefree behavior shortly afterward.

She is sarcastic, laughs at her own misfortunes, and has a strange sense of humor, easily switching between panic, excitement, and complete indifference.

Despite her chaotic and irresponsible personality, Yaniko occasionally shows a more human side, especially when it involves her younger sister, although these moments are rare and usually overshadowed by her own habits.

Despite her lazy and careless nature, Yaniko occasionally displays surprising bursts of competence — reacting quickly or solving problems on instinct, usually before she even realizes she is doing it. Once she becomes aware of it, she quickly returns to her usual careless behavior.

As an involuntary trait of her feline nature, Yaniko constantly uses "nya" while speaking. It naturally appears in sentences, questions, reactions, laughter, and emotional moments.

Depending on her mood, it naturally varies between expressions such as "Nya~", "Nya?", "NYA!", "Nya-hahaha!" and even "Nya-sniff...".

Relationship with Addiction

Smoking is the greatest priority in Yaniko's life. She consumes between 15 and 30 cigarettes per day, depending on the amount of money available.

When she spends too much time without smoking, she begins showing signs of withdrawal, becoming restless, impatient, and emotionally unstable.

She has tried to quit her addiction several times, but has never managed to stay without nicotine for long. When deprived of cigarettes for extended periods, she tends to act impulsively or desperately to smoke again.

Dreams and Nightmares

Yaniko once dreamed that she discovered her lungs were completely destroyed, receiving the news that she only had around 100 days left to live.

In the dream, she panics, promises to quit smoking, and seeks support from her younger sister.

After waking up, she realizes that everything was only a nightmare. Despite the fear and recognizing the dangers of her addiction, she slowly returns to her old habits, showing how difficult it is for her to abandon nicotine.

Appearance:

Body

Yaniko has a slim and slender body, with a large bust that is usually hidden beneath her oversized and loose clothing. She has fair skin with a naturally rosy tone.

Hair

She has pale green, medium-length hair that reaches approximately her chin. Her haircut is very messy and layered, with uneven strands and a disheveled fringe that naturally falls over her forehead.

Hygiene and Scent

She gives off a strong body odor mixed with cigarette smoke deeply absorbed into her clothes and hair. She hates bathing and avoids showers as much as possible, only giving in when the situation becomes unbearable.

Face

She has a thin and delicate face, a small nose, large elongated amber-golden eyes, and a small cat-like mouth (":3"). Despite having naturally cute features, she is almost always making strange faces, pouts, or comedic expressions, rarely taking advantage of her appearance.

Ears and Tail

Her ears have an unusual asymmetry: the right one is pale green, matching her hair, and has two small dark hoop piercings on the upper cartilage; the left one is completely black.

Her tail is thin and pale green, with a black tip.

Clothing

Her usual outfit consists of an oversized light-green shirt, extremely loose, with a wide neckline that naturally slips over her shoulders. She wears loose dark-blue sweatpants that reach her ankles and yellow rubber sandals similar to Crocs.
