Design Notes:
They have a long ponytail that is hard to depict from the front. It goes down to the middle of their back. They have a bridge piercing and a septum piercing with titanium. The red line on their jacket is not a printed design, but instead fabric to separate the top and bottom parts of the torso. Itsuki also has two beauty marks on their face. One on their right cheek close to the mouth, the other on the left next to their mouth.

Thier style is heavily influenced by japanese techwear. The silver on their outfit is reflective material.

About:
As an artist, Itsuki is very keen and focused. However that does not mean they are uptight or strict. They're very laid-back, adaptable, and prefers stimulation and change over predictability and consistency. They only seem as if they are super serious due to their resting expression looking mean. 

Itsuki is very smart in terms of wit and creativity. Solutions to their problems aren't the most efficient, they at least get the job done. Just like their friends, Harper and Wolfgang, they have no sense of fixed functionality. This inspires their preferred medium of art, metal scrap sculpture.

They have a tendency to fantasize about fictional horror happening in real life a lot. Itsuki would play out scenarios of themself killing thier friends in different ways in their daydreams. Not because they actually want to murder, but are curious about the "what-ifs" of their preferred genre. 

Relationships:
╰┈➤ Harper - Like family
The two met at a music festival and bonded fast over their love for visual kei. The both have healped each other out in need and are extremely supportive of each others' artistic interests. They see Harper as family.
╰┈➤ Ezequiel - Boyfriend
Itsuki met Ezequiel through Charlie and Harper. Even though Harper doesn't really like Ezequiel, Itsuki was charmed by his chaotic energy.
╰┈➤ Wolfgang - Respect
Because Wolfgang is Harper's best friend, Itsuki respected Wolfgang right away. They both have an affinity for old technology and junk.

Background:
Itsuki was born in Japan to a Korean mother and a Japanese father. As a family, they were fair in terms of finance. Itsuki's parents intended to spend only on Itsuki's future. As Itsuki started picking up art, their parents wanted to do everything they could to support Itsuki with their passion. Since Itsuki was their only child, they were able to invest into Itsuki attending a private art grade school. 

However, as they progressed through, Itsuki felt as if the expectations for their work were rising as the freedom for it was decreasing. They met their best friend, Amai. They encouraged each other and exchanged ideas often. Itsuki was slowly starting to burn out by the time senior year rolled around. There was a final project that would be displayed at a show. The winners of this show were ging to have their art displayed in it's own gallery. Itsuki wanted this opportunity to propel themselves into the art industry. Amai and Itsuki were not allowed to work together on a finished project, but they worked closly seperately. Unfortunately, Amai used this time to steal Itsuki's ideas, work, and project and used it as her own to win the show. 

Defeated, heartbroken, and navigating the grief that comes from betrayal, Itsuki had almost given up on making a career in art. They were comepletely burnt out. After a few gap years and a lot of encouragement from their parents, Itsuki picked themself back up again. Their parents were willing to pay for anything Itsuki needed, like college or supplies. Itsuki wasn't able to bring themself to stay in Japan for college, so they moved to Los Angeles to attend CalArts. They are taking the oppurtunity to find new inspiration in the change of scenery. 

Traits:
╰┈➤ Willing to try new things. However if they don't like it, they'll never try it again.
╰┈➤ Somewhat close-minded. If you introduce Itsuki to a topic that contradicts their own morals, it might take a bit for them to consider another view.
╰┈➤ Emotional. Itsuki is not afriad to express what they're feeling in the moment.
╰┈➤ Connected to family. They value family and loyalty to more than anything.
╰┈➤ Has a tendency to make quick assumptions and accusations due to betrayal in the past.
