♡ apperance

♡ personality

kiku is very extroverted and shown to be able to get along with just about anyone and often even befriends the people she fought against. she is a good-natured and easygoing girl who always has a smile on her face regardless of the situation she is in. kiku also gives off a "little sister" vibe, as she is always babied and taken care of, even by her subordinates.

kiku often acted dense and helpless but it was all just a facade, in reality she was nowhere near stupid. she is very observant and can easily piece things together. even from a young age she knew that her father wasn’t always around them because he had another family, after his death she noticed her mothers change in behavior towards her because of her similarity to her deceased partner, it didn’t take her long to figure out the tension and the feelings forming between her best friend and half brother even before either of them did, she noticed early on that there was something unusual about mima but she could never quite put her finger on it and she quickly noticed the younger haitanis feelings for her, simply because she treated him equally to his brother, but these were all things that she would do nothing about.

♡ backstory + synopsis

childhood

kiku kurokawa ( (黒川 菊 kurokawa kiku ) was born on december 12th 1987 as the result of an affair between himari yumehara and izumi kurokawa ( who at the time was still married to karen kurokawa ). kiku was born with albinism, which is the same condition her father had, due to both of her parents carrying the gene. despite izumi's unfaithful tendencies, he still acted as a decent father and often found time to visit kiku.

izumi died when kiku was around nine years old, her mother – who loved izumi dearly, had many difficulties with coming to terms with his death and soon after, she would soon fall into substance abuse. as a way to cope with izumi's passing, she would often dress kiku similarly to him, due to her resemblance to the man – himari would keep kikus hair short and have her wear more boyish clothing, often also refraining from using her name. when kiku started maturing and looking more feminine, himari felt like she was losing izumi, because of that she committed suicide by overdosing not long after kiku enrolled in middle school. after her mothers death, kiku was taken in by her grandmother ichika yumehara and would then change her surname from “kurokawa” to “yumehara”.

middle school

kiku met mima saito in middle school as they were in the same class. mima found an interest in kiku due to her having the same surname as izana and them looking very similar ( though kiku did not know about izana ). it didn't take long for mima to befriend kiku, which made her kikus first friend.

kiku would often have people who picked on her but it mainly just consisted of talking behind her back or excluding her from group activities at best, though that would change when kiku entered middle school. since kiku’s figure was a lot more developed compared to most of her classmates, she would often attract the attention of male students and her bubbly and social personality did not make that any better. due to their jealousy, a certain group of girls would often pick on her, while this started out like always; talking behind her back, some mean comments or spreading rumors that kiku had no issue with ignoring – it would soon turn more physical, since they didn't get the reaction they desired out of kiku. finding hateful notes in her shoe locker or desk would become a frequent occurrence, while kiku paid no mind to those and often didn't even bother reading them – ignoring the bullying would become increasingly difficult. one occurrence was on a hot summer day, after kiku had finished her cleaning duties and went to head home, she found her parasol to be completely broken with the words “vampire bitch” scribbled on it. she had to wait till the sun started to set so she could go home.

the first and last encounter kiku had with the group was when she was called to the back of the school. there she found the girls standing over mimas body with her face being bruised and bloody. the sight of her friend being injured caused something to snap in kiku and her usual smile faltered and revealed something much more sinister. this was the first time kiku had exhibited violent behavior. mima was curious to see just how similar kiku and izana were, so she targeted herself by provoking the bullies and indirectly giving them the idea to go after her if they wanted to get to kiku.

harajuku

not long after the news about the “roppongi battle of the ashes” spread around, in which the haitani brothers ( aged 13 ) took down the leader and vice leader of roppongi “kyōgoku” and then took over the area by themselves, kiku had the idea about her and mima taking over an area as well. kiku insisted on them beating the gang that was ruling over harajuku because what area would fit the two girls better than tokyo's fashion district.

as it was initially kikus idea to take over harajuku — mima allowed kiku to fight against the leader yūka sugiura. they fought for a long time and yūka had been beaten badly but as she was unable to feel pain , they fought to the point where yūka was unable to get up anymore. “ yūka-chan you are very strong and i had lots of fun fighting against you , but how about you disband your gang and work alongside us , what do you say hmm ? “ kiku had suggested as she was kneeling down next to the defeated leader.

tenjiku

before toman arrived to the fight, kiku had noticed that mima had fled the scene, thinking that toman was not going to show up anyway, kiku went to look for her friend, when kiku did find mima but she was already too late ( it is still up to kee to decide how mima dies, so i'm not able to write more ). kiku did not partake in the actual fight but she did appear by the end of it to find both izana and kakucho on the ground laying in pools of their own blood. she initially got arrested but was then released due to the fact that she was not involved in the fight. although kiku did try to beg the officers to arrest her as there is no reason for her to stay outside when she's lost the only people who are dear to her.

2006 – 2007

after the tenjiku fight in 2006, kiku has become a lot colder and harsher, as a result of losing the two people she cared about. she stepped back from being the ruler of harajuku due to her lack of interest in fights and her no longer finding enjoyment in ruling over the area if it was without mima. her friendly smile disappeared from her face and she often found herself in clubs or bars. similarly to her mother, kiku soon found herself falling into alcohol and drug abuse and stopped putting any value in her life altogether.
