Kazuo 'Kaz' Kakihara
Gender: Bigender (man, woman), he/her.
Birthday: September 9th.
Nationality: Unionite. Lives in Liuqui as an undocumented migrant.
Ethnicity: Tsuki-Kusatsujin and White Saxon.
Species: Cupid, a Seraphic Chevalier that eats romantic and sexual attention, both directed towards them and directed towards others.
Patron: Archduke Svarog, who he inherited from his biological father Lacy Bronte.
Blessing: Heartbroken Girl. Heartbroken Girl changes the state of items from "dead" to "alive". With dead organics, this causes zombification. This is capable of healing living people.
Appearance: Kaz is a tall and fat woman, with a very healthy amount of muscle that is not visible. She has a build similar to that of a female sumo wrestler and in fact, practices the sport as a hobby from time to time. He has a full, round face with a slight double chin, a wide nose and full lips. From time to time, she uses a slight amount of lip filler which takes their fullness to a borderline unnaturality. He has double lids and large eyes, which are predominately brown with purple flecks, pale skin and wavy, black hair. He has to wear glasses which give her eyes an even larger appearance when not using contact lenses. Although Kaz is not human, she is near identical to a human in physical characteristics with her actual origin apparent through her behavior and magical characteristics. As a seamstress, Kaz typically wears elaborate "Western" style clothing, preferring Victorian Gothic or Formal Gothic styles of clothing.
Nature: Kaz is naive to the point where he comes across as mentally ill. He has nearly no sense of danger and is capable of a near endless amount of forgiveness, often allowing people who have attempted to murder her (or similar crimes) back into her life. This is both a personal and a political stance. Kaz believes that she has been put on earth as an anchor, a beacon for people who require endless love. It is easy to love people who are lovable. It is much harder to love the rest; undesirables, burdens, those with mental illnesses that cause them to be unable to function in society, those who have hurt you and other badly, those who can not change. Those are the people who Kaz holds the most fondness for. She is often biased towards them, favoring their perspectives over victims'. Up to a certain point. Even Kaz has his limits on who he can and can't support and those limits are growing stronger the more he realizes that his lifestyle is burning him out.
Due to his unusual upbringing, Kaz has a poor sense of boundaries and societal norms. He does not perceive a strong difference between partner, friend or stranger and frequently engages in casual sex and overly intense romantic and platonic relationships. It is not uncommon for her to imagine a connection to be much deeper than it is. At times, she struggles even to categorize 'object' and 'person' as separate. Heartbroken Girl allows her to bring inanimate items, temporarily, to life. She has had this blessing since she was a child and frequently used it on person-shaped items, like toys. This has caused her to anthropomorphize objects, empathizing with them strongly to the point of becoming physically unwell if she witnesses a toy being destroyed or just simply being ignored. These traits put him at odds with most of society. Kaz is shunned and rejected by peers, maligned and persecuted by authority figures and easily taken advantage of by toxic people. He pretends that he has no awareness of this, that he is completely ignorant. But really, he knows quite well what other people think of him. Unable to easily change her own nature, she has accepted her flaws as they are and waits for everyone else to reach the same conclusion.
Melancholic and prone to excessive guilt, despite what she would have you believe, Kaz often has intensely dark moods. He is an avid self harmer and has attempted suicide multiple times, something that he regards with an inappropriate openness. Frequently, she will threaten herself and have it be taken as a joke. It is not, it never is and she has been an active risk to her own life since she was twelve years old.
Life: Kaz is currently a low ranking member of the Liu Clan, working under the pimp and drug trafficker, Colonel Liu Shen. Heartbroken Girl's immense healing ability works on himself and allows him to heal from fatal injuries, provided he has enough lifeforce before they occur. This, and his status as a Cupid Chevalier, have led to him becoming a popular sex worker in Liuqui. Although she is unable to successfully sell videos or photographs of herself, meeting clients has always been profitable. In fact, she is currently the primary source of income for the clan. Shen is ultimately not the kind of person who would harm a worker for quitting but because he relies upon Kaz's income, incentivizes his employment by giving him a sizeable stipend and letting Kaz live in his home. Kaz lives with a few other people under the Colonel's care and is happy with both her working and her living situations.
Due to a combination of bad luck and personality flaws, Kaz has a penchant for being kidnapped. It happens so regularly that Shen is no longer allowed to report her as missing to the local authorities in Liuqui, particularly because Kaz always turns back up in a few days or so.
History: Kaz was born and raised inside of the Tamano Cult, under the Acolyte Sect, under the reign of his biological mother, Mariya Kakihara. Duke Tamano is the the Demon of Love and Lust and is one of the nine living Dukes of demonkind and so, holds an enormous power. Rare among demons, they possess the ability to reincarnate. However, this process is not instantaneous and requires a considerate amount of set up time in order to be used to its fullest extent. While Tamano can reincarnate anywhere, their power level fluctuates. A random reincarnation is the worst case scenario but possessing the body of a Chevalier under them is both efficient and powerful. Kaz was born for the purpose of being a reincarnation for the current Tamano, who knew that he was not long for the world. Somewhat aware of this fate, Kaz left home at an early age and fled to the country of Liuqui.
