Madotsuki (emgy805 edition)

"'As long as I have dreams in my heart, I can never escape. I can never awaken from my dreams. Maybe if I follow the dream just past this doorway, then someday I can wake up again...	'""- Madotsuki"

Appearance
Madotsuki is a 5'2, 17 year old with long, red-brown hair often pulled into two braids. Her eyes are almost closed a majority of the time, leaving only a sliver open to see but closed enough so no one can see them. Her skin is somewhat dark but pale due to a lack of her going out and about, and she's actually incredibly skinny, being only 72.6 pounds. When sleeveless, it's seen that she has numerous self harm scars on her arms. She's seen constantly having bruises on her legs from falling and tripping frequently.

When she opens her eyes, they're colored red and somewhat odd.

Personality
Madotsuki is a very shy girl, often being rather quiet. She does her best to communicate with others but she finds it hard to, due to past events happening in her life that caused her to be nervous around other people. She avoids unveiling anything personal about herself or others, fearing that she might talk about something a friend wouldn't be comfortable with her talking about. She is, generally speaking, very kind.

However, when you get close enough to her or talk about something she's interested in, she will become much more talkative. She might even become excited enough to talk about her own interests.

Other misc. traits come like this;


 * She HATES being touched. She doesn't like holding hands, hugging people, none of the sort. This is an exception when you're genuinely good friends with her though, however, it's hard to gain her trust.
 * She doesn't like people staring or looking at her.
 * If she feels well enough, she might actually ASK someone if she can give them a hug.
 * She LOVES animals, especially cats and parrots. She could probably be considered the CAT WHISPERER if you give her a cat. She'll do anything to befriend it.
 * She's scared of hurting people, even emotionally. The only times she's ever used her KNIFE EFFECT was to hurt herself. She only uses it outside of hurting herself as self-defense.
 * These aren't personality traits, however: She suffers from depression, social anxiety disorder, narcolepsy, and a body disorder alongside gender dysphoria.

Background (this is where HC stuff comes in, don't mind me!)
Madotsuki was born somewhere Japan, currently unknown; She had lived there for forever, having good parents that treated her well. However, her life at school wasn't very well, having very few friends that treated her well. A lot of people treated Madotsuki as though she didn't exist. She was a straight-A student, often pushing herself to do her best. The teachers loved her plenty, but the other students didn't.

It was particularly the TORININGEN trio in the higher grades that frequently bullied her and her friends, mainly her and her girlfriend MONOE. Madotsuki, as a transgender girl dating another girl, was something for the bullies to laugh at (which it actually wasn't). On various days, the two would come to find that their desks were written on, calling them bitches (and specifically for Madotsuki the Japanese equivalent of the F word), even written that they should kill themselves

The worst part, however, was when someone had been stalking them - the MATH TEACHER, who is only referred to as YUUTA. A photo was taken of Monoe at some point, and from there, they split. After a bit, Monoe and MONOKO, Monoe's sister, suffered due to a traffic accident involving the deaths of their parents, the death of a kind man who was trying to walk them home holding an umbrella when it was raining, and the almost-death of Monoko, who miraculously survived. Madotsuki had to survive on her own from there with her horrendous mental health, her only company being her parents and the kind teachers at her school. After a bit, an event of unspeakable actions happened between her and Yuuta, causing her to lose it; She had had enough.

At the age of 13, she ran away and locked herself in an abandoned apartment complex for 2 years, refusing to leave. After 2 years of living on her own, having had run out of food and supplies and exploring every inch of her dreams, she went outside - on her balcony. There stood her staircase. She went up- and went all the way down. She made an attempt to commit suicide, only like Monoko, miraculously survived after a while. Her neighbor from across the street, PONIKO, caught sight of her dead body and went to it, calling 911. Not long after, she was rescued and brought to the hospital where she was resurrected. She now continues her life after dreaming more and beating an enemy of her nightmares.

 (THE FOLLOWING EFFECTS ARE UNUSED, BUT WILL BE USED) 

Blindfold
Appearance: Madotsuki wears a black blindfold.

Speculation: A type of effect that affects what Madotsuki can (or can't) see.

Grayscale
Appearance: Madotsuki appears in monochrome.

Speculation: It's possible this was intended to be the appearance Madotsuki takes on in the White Desert, as there is no counterpart FC World sprite. If this is the case, then it's likely that it was dropped since it could cause confusion as to whether the White Desert was really white, or whether the effect was a result of a problem with the player's perception of it (as is the case with old monochrome photos).

Will o' the Wisp
Appearance: Madotsuki transforms into a flame-like spirit wearing the Triangle Kerchief.

Speculation: A possible alternate form considered for the 'ghost form' of the Triangle Kerchief, as spirits are commonly depicted as blue wisps in Japanese folklore (they're known as "Hitodama" [☀人魂, ひとだま]).

Friends
Canonically, she's friends with the majority of the DREAM DENIZENS. She's also friends with John, Jade, Adeline, Magnet, Nago, and Marx.

Frenemies
Currently, her frenemies are Poniko/UBOA and Monoe, although Poniko is much more.. thin-headed than Monoe, who's not at all a good influence.

Enemies
None, as of yet, aside from FACE and the SHADOW DEMONS.

Trivia

 * Her least favorite food is, ironically, eggs. Especially the boiled kind.
