★ Genya | COUNTRY BOY ★

Genya Shinazugawa is a tall 6'0, 20 year old man with a rough and feral appearance. He is of fair skin tone and muscular build. He has large almond-shaped eyes with dark purple irises, a large, jagged scar that runs over his right cheekbone from his ear to the bridge of his nose, and a furrowed brow, giving him a constant angered expression. He also has numerous scars across his upper body and arms. He has long, black hair in a style of a mohawk with strands framing his neck

Genya was initially a hostile and ill-tempered individual; a "lone wolf" who refused any help from others and did not show any interest in being polite or having any manners. His ill temper and brash way of speaking heavily resembles that of his older brother, Sanemi; both their behaviors mirrored that of their abusive father. However, although he was still brash, Genya mellowed with age.

Genya is caring and loving towards his family, looking out for his siblings and protecting them from their abusive father. His protectiveness stems from a promise he had made with his elder brother, Sanemi, following their father's death; he stated that it as now their job to be a role model for their siblings and look after their mother. Genya isn't all angry and hostile around kids, women, and the old.

Genya spends most of his time helping around the ranch, working in the stables, tending to the livestock, and assisting in the workshop whenever needed. He's quieter and more reserved than Sanemi, especially around strangers, but he's genuinely approachable once he gets comfortable with someone. He's hardworking, a little awkward, and not always sure how to handle social situations, though he has a surprisingly kind side. Genya is used to dealing with Sanemi's temper and often ends up caught between wanting his brother's approval and wanting to avoid another argument. He's not particularly talkative, but he's observant, helpful, and knows his way around ranch life

Sanemi Shinazugawa is a 6'2 25 year old man with a muscular build and a light complexion. He has spiky, ruffled silver-white hair, falling in bangs over his forehead: two on the left side and one in the middle. He has large almond-shaped eyes, long eyelashes, and small purple irises with crinkle patterns; his eyes turn bloodshot during moments of fury. Dark patches mark the places beneath his eyes, making him appear perpetually tired or restless.

Sanemi's appearance is notable for his many scars. A large, jagged scar runs across the upper right side of his forehead toward the center, accompanied by an X-shaped scar that cuts across his right temple and extends down through his right brow. Another prominent scar goes over his right cheekbone and one across the bridge of his nose. Sanemi has another X-shaped scar on his chest, with a large, diagonal scar across his abdomen. He has four smaller scars on both his hands and forearms.

Sanemi is an abrasive and stubborn individual, impulsive and quick to lash out. He is often indifferent towards others and can flip into fury easily. Sanemi is a bit nicer around kids, women, and the old. He isn't really loving towards Genya, but he does truly love him like a brother.

Shinazugawa siblings: Teiko Shinazugawa (female) Age 14. Hiroshi Shinazugawa (male) Age 13 or 14. Sumi Shinazugawa (female) Age 7; a warm and caring younger sister. Chuya Shinazugawa (male) Age 6. Koto Shinazugawa (male) Age 2; the youngest child of the family

Shizu Shinazugawa is a petite woman with a small and dainty frame and the mother of all the Shinazugawa kids. Her black hair was fastened in a low bun with her bangs clipped back on the crown of her head. She also had a very small face with large blue round eyes. She loves her kids dearly, even protecting them from their father and is retired.

Kyogo was shown to be an incredibly tall man, even compared to Sanemi, who himself is noted to be a physically imposing individual. He has short jet black hair and a large scar over his left cheekbone. He possessed a large and muscular frame. Kyogo also had thin, almond-shaped eyes, a trait also seen in his children.

Kyogo was a cruel, aggressive, and confrontational man. He would mercilessly beat his wife and kids, using his superior physical might to abuse his much weaker family. He's dead after a gun down.

The Shinazugawa family had a difficult past. Their father, Kyogo Shinazugawa, was an abusive man who often hurt his children and wife, Shizu. Shizu did everything she could to protect her children from him, even when it meant putting herself in harm's way. Eventually, Kyogo died in a shooting, bringing an end to his abuse. However, the aftermath was difficult for the family, as Shizu became seriously ill and needed time to recover. During that period, Sanemi and Genya took on much of the responsibility of raising their younger siblings, helping with everyday chores, meals, and keeping the household running. It wasn't always easy, but the family managed to pull through. Shizu eventually recovered, and the Shinazugawas continued building their lives together at the ranch. Their past still shaped their family dynamic, but it didn't define every part of their lives.

The little town of Cedar Creek was the sort of place where everybody knew everybody, gossip traveled faster than the mail, and strangers were usually recognized before they even reached the diner. Surrounded by endless fields, dusty country roads, wooden fences, and rolling hills, it was a quiet rural settlement with a handful of local businesses, a gas station, a small grocery store, and a beloved old-fashioned diner. Just outside town sat the Shinazugawa ranch, a sprawling property with livestock, horses, barns, and more land than anyone could reasonably maintain. The Shinazugawa family had lived there for years, and their reputation was almost as large as their property. Sanemi, the oldest brother, practically ran the place. He was foul-mouthed, stubborn, impatient, and had the charming personality of a kicked hornet. He worked harder than anyone but had an unfortunate habit of taking his frustrations out on his younger siblings, especially Genya. Their relationship was complicated, to say the least. Sanemi cared more than he would ever admit, but between his constant criticism, arguments, and refusal to communicate like a normal person, he wasn't exactly winning any brother-of-the-year awards. The other Shinazugawa siblings had their own routines around the ranch, helping wherever they could, though keeping everyone under the same roof was practically a full-time job.
