IYO FUKUDA:

As if hiding from a stalker and tip-toeing around her parents on the brink of a divorce wasn't complicated enough, after Iyo's near-death-experience, she's able to see people's auras and the touch of other people burns her, but that's not all. On her first day at the prestigious high school for the super rich and influential, the first student she meets is the president of the Black Magic Club, and he insists she joins, but perhaps this oddball has the keys to help her.

UNIVERSE:

Takes place in the manga/anime, Ouran High School Host Club by Bisco Hatori, two years before the canon starts in the early 2000's. For the most part, there are no exaggeratedly broken physics laws; although some civilian law-bending here and there. It's also not confirmed if the Black Magic Club actually can cast curses, or if it's just under strange circumstances and coincidences.

HAIR:

A narrow uneven widow's peak hairline with straight black hair down to her shoulders. She usually pulls her hair into a ponytail. If she's going somewhere fancy, she'll put her hair in a bun.

CLOTHING:

GENERAL STYLE:

Most of her clothing is black with some hint of color, like a red ribbons or purple buttons. Her wardrobe used to have more color, but after the fire, she felt black would be more suitable as a wordless warning to other people to stay away, so she traded her colorful clothes for a darker attire.

CASUAL:

Loose-fitting baggy clothes in general such as T-shirts, jerseys, and jeans, along with running shoes. These are the clothes she stays home in, but will dress marginally nicer if she has to go out and get groceries or just wants to go get a book from the store or something. She definitely doesn't wear casual outfits at school.

Her favorite accessories are her gloves, of which her most favorite are the laced fingerless gloves with cloth buttons to keep them in place, but she has quite a collection of them. She also likes pendants, chokers and bracelets. Her ears are pierced, but she only has studs--nothing that dangles or could get caught in her hair. When she's on the go outside of school, she'll bring a nice-looking backpack, because she'll never know what she finds at bookstores or at street vendors.

SEMI-FORMAL:

Because she can't afford the school uniform, Iyo instead wears a form-fitting blouse or tunic with a long, ankle-length skirt or slacks with leather loafers. If her sleeves are short, she'll wear long gloves, otherwise, she'll wear regular lacey gloves. If it's cold out, she'll wear a hoody, cardigan or a blazer.

FORMAL:

Ankle-length dresses and low-heeled shoes with a clutch bag that has a strap or chain. If the dress is strapless, she'll wear a shawl or scarf, and if the dress is short-sleeved, she'll wear long gloves.

UNIFORM:

Due to moving twice in one year, her family couldn't afford the school uniform or the entrance fee that year, hence the scholarship. During her first years of high school at Ouran, she tends to wear button-up long sleeve blouses decorated with pleats or laces, and is usually cuffed. She enjoys straight-legged jeans, but also wears slacks and long skirts with pantyhose underneath. She prefers to wear low-heeled shoes or flats at school. Sometimes she'll where overall dresses or black sundresses. On colder days, she'll also wear a fitted hoody. All black. She carries a hand-me-down brown leather satchel bag. These clothes are also considered semi-formal, and may wear these outfits on such occasions like dates.

HOBBIES:

Writing, a little bit of drawing, some cooking, but is mostly interested her own research, especially on the odd stuff such as: psychology, torture devices, crazy ER reports, diseases, superstitions, weirdest things found during airport security, leaked autopsy reports, methods on drug-making, how to pick locks, and, of course, some occult material(the reason why her friends thought she had special powers).

ATTACHMENT STYLE:

FEARFUL-AVOIDANT: She desires relationships and are comfortable in them until they develop emotionally close. At this point, the detachment feelings that were suppressed in childhood begin to resurface, and they are re-living an old trauma. They don't have a coherent sense of themselves nor do they have a clear connection with others.

SKILLS:

After her near-death-experience, she can see auras, and feel the presence of others, but whenever someone so much as grazes her skin in direct contact, that area of skin burns.

GOALS, MOTIVATIONS AND OBSTACLES

BACKSTORY:

Ren's family, a long line of Shinto priests, were very selective of their children's partners, and just would not accept Jun, and Ren was beginning to have her doubts on her engagement as well. She and Jun had a big argument about this and gave each other a break, living separately for a time. On several nights, she went to bars and hung out with her girl friends, and at one of these bars, she met Chieko who was in the mood for company. They met and talked on several occasions, and Ren brought up her argument, but never mentioned that she was engaged still. She made it seem like the argument had happened a long time before, and that it was officially over.

Chieko said that Ren didn't have to let go of Shintoism, but if she truly did love the person, she didn't have to let that person go either. Each partner should accept that the other is different, and while some things could be compromised, some things just wouldn't ever change. That was what marriage was--acceptance and compromise. Her family should trust her to make her own decision.

These were the words Ren wanted to hear the most, and felt relieved that someone thought the same. A few more conversations at other nights at different bars lead to a night of sex, but realized it was a mistake. She should have had that conversation with Jun whom she still loved--her family be damned--so she snuck out, leaving a brief note saying her goodbyes and thanks for being a good listener, but letting him know that they wouldn't have worked out. Chieko was disappointed because he had fallen in love with her, but it wasn't the first time he had been let down; however this was the first time he actually thought he had a shot because he hadn't been entirely forthcoming with his abnormal abilities. He could see auras, and feel other people's presences. He had had these abilities since he could remember, and it often times led to being bullied, or being thought of as weird. He thought he could live with her ever not knowing and they could be happy together.

Well, as fate would have it, Chieko and Jun were best friends during college, but hadn't actually seen each other for years, so Chieko had gotten an invitation to Jun's wedding held nearly two months after that night. Chieko and Ren were horrified to see each other again under the circumstances. To play off the shock, Chieko congratulated them on their wedding and also for expecting a child since he had seen another source of aura growing in Ren's midsection--it was his way of getting Ren to reject him once she found out about his abilities. Jun, already knowing about his abilities, was not ecstatic about the news, since he and Ren never had sex. Instead of going to their honeymoon or partying after the ceremony, all three of them ended up going to the hospital, with Ren and Chieko explaining their meetings to Jun on the way, and Chieko explicitly stating that he had no clue that Ren was engaged, much less to him, his best friend. One failed urine test, one failed blood test, and one ultrasound later, it was confirmed that Ren was eight weeks pregnant. The fetus had been producing low amount of HCG that the urine and blood tests had been false negatives, which is why Ren had been convinced she wasn't pregnant after taking at-home pregnancy tests; otherwise she would have had an abortion.

Ren ended up giving birth to Iyo, and they shared custody of her. After about a half a year after Iyo was born, she stayed with Ren and Jun during the weekdays, and she stayed with Chieko during the weekends, and they all shared holidays together unless someone wanted to go on a trip, then they took turns. At around three years, Chieko realized that Iyo had been born with his gifts. She drew people and animals with color all around them, and seemed to sense someone was at the door before they knocked or rang the doorbell, for example. Chieko was excited and terrified about his revelations.

Hesitantly, he told Ren and Jun, and proved it with tests, mostly having her draw or having them observe her whenever they expected visitors, but didn't tell her. Jun was stunned, but didn't mind her gift as long as Chieko was around to help her along with it and help them understand it, but Ren was against it. After all the difficulties her marriage with Jun had already endured, she saw the "gifts" as complications, and wanted Iyo to be rid of it. She told her sister, Mayu, and Mayu told her that there might be a way through a purification ritual, but Ren ended up declining the offer, saying that Jun and Chieko would definitely be against it, and that doing so may end up costing her her marriage. She tried to endure her child's gifts and be happy with Iyo just the way she was.

When Iyo was seven, Chieko had died, killed by a client he had tried to help working as a criminal psychologist at a prison. It broke their hearts, and Iyo took it the hardest. She shirked away from any touch from her parents, as if the slightest brush brought discomfort. This discomfort worsened as time went on, and Ren had brought up the topic of trying to get rid of Iyo's abilities. Jun was horrified at the thought of getting rid something that was of a part of Iyo, but seeing how Iyo's depression had only worsened, and Chieko wouldn't be able to help them anymore with her abilities, he had conceded.

The ritual was a mix of traditional shinto rituals with a touch of hypnosis, and when Iyo had woken up after, she couldn't see any color, and had forgotten that she ever could. She had suppressed any mention of her abilities, and in turn, suppressed memories of her father, Chieko. She was still saddened that her father had died, but having Ren and Jun made it easier. They could hug and cry together at last. It was recommended by Mayu not to bring up Chieko too much, or it might free her abilities again, but despite the lack of Chieko's continued presence, Iyo still had developed an interest in the curious oddities, much to the dismay of Ren. Jun was glad that Iyo and Chieko still shared something other than their abilities, so never discouraged her from asking questions or taking an interest in unusual topics.

On one of her research binges in her first year of middle school, she met someone online, and she felt a special connection to. They talked daily and she began to like him, but she was smart enough to never reveal her real name, or area. Her father being a newscaster and all often warned her about the dangers of the internet. At the time, Iyo began to like a boy at school, and as she got to know him, she found out he liked poetry. After a couple of months of talking with the online person, Iyo began to get cards in the mail and assumed it was a guy at school, since there wasn't a name, just love poems. Confident that the boy at school liked her too, she began to hang out with him more and more, eventually hanging out alone, but she never let him know about the cards because she wanted him to tell her.

Eventually, the cards and gifts started to get weird: photographs of her with hearts and other symbols and her in a wedding dress, photographs of a persons abs, chest, and arms, more poems, but they were sounding more possessive. Iyo finally confronted the boy, but he hadn't been giving her any gifts. She talked about this to her online friend, and he revealed that he had been giving them to her. Iyo told him to stop it and to leave her alone, but he didn't. He kept sending gifts, but the last straw was when she received a dead bird, and told her parents. The police got involved and took her computer and every card and photograph she ever got from him, but they didn't get anywhere, especially since there was no return address on any of the packages. The gifts still arrived occasionally, but she merely threw them away or gave it to the police without ever opening it. Finally the gifts stopped, and her life did go back to normal, but then he started calling. The police got involved again and tried tapping the phones, but he was smart. He stopped calling.

When she thought everything was finally normal, her friends found out about her internet stalker and started joking around about it, but it made Iyo uncomfortable. They stopped when she asked them to drop it.

By the next school year, her internet stalker had been forgotten--even by the police. In the middle of that school year, an adult guy came up to her and wanted to talk. Iyo let him talk, staying quiet in case he was one of those violent types, but realized he was the stalker. When Iyo tried to get him to leave, her friends came, but heard how he loved her and would wait until she was old enough to marry her, and ran away before anyone could call a teacher or the police. Her father wanted her to carry pepper spray, and an emergency call button with the police programmed in it. By the next month of his random visiting (even at her house), the police finally got him; however, because he was never violent, he spent a week in jail. The only thing Iyo could do was get a restraining order, but it didn't stop him from calling or taping up pictures of her on the school gates.

Her friends brought up the bewitchment rumor, and since she had still been researching odd subjects like psychology and mental disorders, they thought she had convinced him to fall in love with her. People laughed and started bullying her, calling her a witch of words, and by the end of the school year, she and her parents just up and left, moving to another house. It took away a lot of their money, but it was a fresh start.

Iyo gained new friends, but kept her old life a secret. She got invited to a slumber party one night, but at the last minute, she didn't feel well and stayed home. Her stalker found her and thought that she would be at the sleepover, so to send a message, he set the house on fire. Iyo had inhaled too much smoke so she stopped breathing, eventually stopping her heart, but was eventually resuscitated back to life. When she woke up, she saw colors, and felt buzzing, and was in burning pain when her mother held her hand. She couldn't hug or hold her parents' hand after that.

They didn't catch the stalker immediately, but since he wouldn't admit to starting the fire, and had an alibi (a shaky one, but still an alibi), he couldn't be charged due to a lack of evidence. As soon as Iyo recovered, and finished middle school, she and her parents moved to an entirely new area of Japan in hopes of losing the stalker forever, but they never got their hopes up.

Iyo qualified for a scholarship to Ouran High School for Creative Writing, the start of the story.

Nothing yet. Maybe some artwork in the future.
