A lot of the characters from my WIP can fight and definitely rescue me if ever I got caught up in any danger. But Tetsuya would be the first in that list. Though the Yumemiya clan (the clan that Tetsuya hailed from) are known for their sharpshooting skills, it was Tetsuya's close range combat skills that made him stand out from the others. Not to mention, his innate ability to actually make the atmosphere light for me by being the jester that he was could really come in handy in order to deal with the situation and ease my fear. His knife-throwing skills was something deadly for a person who sort of suppressed himself from using it unless it's absolutely necessary.

.

The second on my list of the characters that I want to save me would be the person unknowingly trained to become the next master of the Shichi RaiRyuuKen techniques—Raiden Wilford. His ability in wielding three (turning four) blade techniques of a forgotten clan was remarkable to the point of putting him as one of the two future shadow guardians of the Yasunaga clan leader.

Coffee shop trip with characters! What do you get? What do they get?

Though I'm a coffee drinker, I don't really go to coffee shops even just to have a different take on coffees. But for these three, it will be a chaotic trip—especially with Tetsuya tagging along with Kourin and Seiichi. At least, it was Seiichi who thinks that dragging Tetsuya along a supposed coffee date would be chaotic. But he has a duty to protect Kourin—even though at the time, Seiichi doesn't know this. Anyway, the trip let us reach a certain coffee shop that Tetsuya loves to go to. Not to mention that it was owned by his friend.

.

Tetsuya doesn't really like drinking a particular coffee. He would drink any of it, as long as he feels doing so. He's actually eating cakes and pastries there more than drinking coffee, especially if there was something new in the menu. Kourin would prefer ordering an iced cafe mocha and Seiichi would order a slice of cake paired with a cup of latte.

As for me, if there's a hazelnut coffee, then I'm in! 😁✌️😁✌️

Character with a weakness you can relate to.

The majority of my characters are strong, both in their combat skills and their mentality. But all of them, at some point of their lives, were able to inadvertently show their weakness/es to some people and in turn, had changed the way they lived their lives.

.

Though Tetsuya Kisaragi (in which I used #YamadaRyousuke as his #visualinspiration) from TLSOTE was shown to be a jester and would always point out his handsome face, his loyalty to serving the Shinomiya clan princess as one of her shadow guardians was also shown.

.

But this loyalty and dedication to the point of forgetting himself and his safety actually stemmed from the time that he was still too kindhearted to even become a deadly warrior and an active member of the Yumemiya clan, let alone become a shadow guardian to the youngest leader of the Shrouded Flowers. He once loved someone and dedicated himself to just remain loving that person, until her betrayal shattered his kind heart and turned him into someone cold and somewhat ruthless.

.

Being kindhearted is okay, but at some point, people tend to abuse it to the extent that we end up losing ourselves because of the hurt we feel from the betrayal. At this point, I could say that this is one weakness that I can relate to—making it harder for me to even trust someone and just isolate myself from other people other than those that I trust. Both Tetsuya and I can smile and joke around, but the hurt of getting betrayed or losing the people we invested our hearts to still lingers. It's still there... until someone will come that can dissipate the lingering hurt completely...

Who knows, right?
