Name: Ringo Shiro
Age: 18
Date of Birth: February 18th
Birthplace: Ōme, Tokyo, Japan
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Face Claim: Tsunayoshi Sawada from Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Appearance:
Height: 5'9''
Distinguishing Features: None of significant note.
Class: Civilian
Arcana: Star
Occupation: College student, currently working at a cafe in the White Lion Shopping Center as a waiter.
Weapons and Proficiencies (Optional): Ringo has had experience with kendo and kata since he was thirteen. When he quit kendo to pursue his academic interest, he was a 2-dan and he is still in shape and somewhat still in practice thanks to occasional exercise. As such Ringo is at most comfortable holding a blade. Despite his years in kendo though, Ringo feels more comfortable doing kata and thus he prefers to wield a bokken. His attacks are classified as slash
Personality: Due to Ringo's background, he is a very open minded individual and a receptive student. He will often sit down and listen what one would have to say rather than leap to his own conclusions. If he ever does he is polite enough to apologize for it. This leads to a rather accepting and benevolent nature to him as he will often treat others with formality and kindness upon meeting him.
That isn't to say that doesn't come with its own negatives. Ringo can come off as over protective which, depending on the situation, can do more harm than good even though in Ringo's mind he is just preparing for the worst and keeping others out of danger. On the other hand, despite the boy's own amount of preparation when it comes to dangerous situations, he is reckless to his own safety. The sad part is he doesn't seem to realize all too much what that would mean for those that care about him.
Despite all of Ringo's kindness, he is what one may call sensitive and as such if someone makes light of issues such as death then that is one of few ways to trigger a negative (or at worst angry) response from him, though it is to be noted that once he is angered he is hard to calm down. Thankfully he is reasonable enough to often excuse himself but anger has always had a thing for being blocking out reason.
Likes: Kendo, cats, coffee, tea
Dislikes: Conflicts with others, death, mushrooms, injustice
History: Ringo was a child born to a certain Chizuru and Tsuneo Shiro. He grew up with a strong moral focus thanks to his mother's doting nature and his father's wisdom. However, he did wind up being a bit of a bully hunter come elementary and early middle school. While his intentions are good, he wound up in one too many fights and as a result he hurt as many people as he helped. This caused Chizuru decided to call an old friend of hers to get the boy disciplined.
Ringo was adverse to kendo at first due to the weight of the armor and the...unique attitude of his teacher. His teacher talked about hard work but would usually just sit around, read, and drink tea while watching Ringo do his practice. Not to mention she would be late or early, hardly ever on time. Over time though, this just showed him that the world isn’t black and white.
Under his teacher’s suggestion, by the time he reached high school, he joined the kendo team. There he had a decent kendo career, even reaching 2-dan. By the time high school ended, he had obtained other interests. He wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and maybe become a professor. Maybe a teacher? He wasn’t completely sure. Thus he moved to Mosaic City to broaden his horizons. All seemed well until one day he couldn’t call his parents. To make matters more concerning he is now hearing more reports about that blockade…
Persona: Tokoyo of the Lovers Arcana
Appearance: Tokoyo takes the form of an androgynous dark pinkish figure human figure with long brown hair. Her face is covered by a white mask with slanted pink eyes drawn on it. Engraved in the mouth area of the mask is a carving in the shape of a dagger.

Covering her feet are black stone sandals with white socks and her armors are armored by thin black kotes. The Persona is notable for wielding a large katana blade.
Persona Lore: Tokoyo is a heroine from Japanese folklore. She was the daughter of a samurai named Obire Shima, a samurai who has displeaed the emperor who was very ill. She set out on a journey to reunite with her father. Tokoyo eventually encountered a little girl that was about to be sacrificed to Okuninushi by plunging her into the ocean. She decided to take the girl's place and leap into the ocean with a dagger in her teeth.
She would swim and encounter a statue of the emperor that banished her father. She was about to destroy it but decided not to and swam back with it. She encountered an unnamed monstrosity and defeated it by blinding it. Emerging from the shore, word spread of her heroic deeds and the preserving of the statue out of the ocean lifted the emperor of his illness. The emperor realizing that Tokoyo is the reason for the lifting of his illness, lifted the banishment of Obire Shima and the daughter and father returned home together.
