Uehara Tsuru

Name is Uehara Tsuru

Appearance: She is wearing a red hoodie that only slightly revealed some blue-ish bangs that fell over her forehead, but she had big, innocent blue eyes and an even bigger smile with perfect teeth to match. She wore loose brown trousers and had a toy tool belt wrapped around her waist, complete with plastic tools.

Personality: Uehara Tsuru, the Ultimate RPG Player, has a quirky and eccentric personality heavily influenced by her obsession with role-playing games. She speaks in a unique, game-inspired way, referring to herself in the third person and treating interactions as if they were game scenarios, complete with "quests" and "level-ups" for social skills. Her enthusiastic, innocent demeanor leads her to see the world as an RPG, where people are like NPCs (non-playable characters) with "quests" for her to complete. She often misunderstands real-world situations, acting as if she has magical abilities and lives by RPG rules, such as thinking she has unlimited "lives" and that objects might hold hidden treasures.

Uehara's backstory adds a layer of tragedy to her character. Having been abandoned at a young age, she survived by scavenging and stealing, eventually discovering a video game that became her reality. This led her to blur the line between the game world and reality, contributing to her odd behavior. Her RPG-centric worldview, although often bewildering to others, also holds a sense of innocence and genuine curiosity, making her a unique and somewhat endearing character in Seiko Academy's intense environment.

Background: Ffrom a very young age, Uehara Tsuru has been alone. Her parents, for reasons unknown, abandoned her on the street one day and never came back for her, Uehara swiftly had to learn how to fend for herself. She taught herself how to survive by exploring the streets in the night, killing stray animals or stealing from shops to provide herself with food.

Uehara was homeless from a very young age, and she repulsed anyone who came across her in the street. She was dirty, mentally quite deficient and malnourished. Then, one day, she saw some kids playing on some game consoles in a café. When the group of kids exited the café, she followed one of them home and cornered them in an alley. She beat them up and demanded the child show her how to use the console, before stealing it from him and running away. Uehara became obsessed with that thing. She would play it for hours on end every day, and whenever it ran out of power, she would sneak into a building where she could charge it back to full power and continue to play. One videogame in particular, known as a role-playing game or RPG, caught her attention and she would soon play that game solely. The distinctions between the real world and the world of her role-playing videogame began to fade away, and she began to believe that she was living in a role-playing world.

Because of this, Uehara began to perceive things in the world differently to how they actually were. People’s homes were open invitations to ransack for any money, food or items she might want, animals were simply expendable sources of materials and people were actually characters who had ‘quests’ for her. But most dangerously, she perceived herself as superhuman. She believed she had magical abilities, multiple lives and that the rucksack she carried had no bottom. Rather obviously, what she thought were magical abilities was just in fact her high resilience, and her ‘bottomless rucksack’ was just a rucksack that had a hole in the bottom, so all the things she stole would fall out. It was also thanks to this videogame that she picked up her weird speech pattern: referring to herself in the third person.

This starving, delirious and eccentric girl soon became known as “The Wandering Thief” in many towns, and people began to fight back against her petty thefts. She was mercilessly bullied for being an abandoned child, people threw stones at her if she got too close, while others would leave rotten or poisoned scraps of food on their doorsteps to try and incapacitate her, but to no avail. Then, some people soon recognised patterns in her behaviour and noticed that she was acting as though she were in a role-playing game. They sought to take advantage of this fact under the guise of ‘having a quest’ for Uehara. One thing that Uehara loved to do was embark on ‘quests’ for people, so these people told her that they would have a ‘quest’ for her, allowing them to get away with doing terrible things to her. They would beat her, ask her to touch them, ask her to let them touch her, ask her to take clothes off – someone even went so far as to-
