Kurai
Today’s forecast: 99% chance of existential crisis with a side of mutant angst.
The bustling streets of Tokyo had long been silenced, replaced by the eerie hush of desolation. However, if you were to walk those streets, you might still spot a flash of color or a glint of defiance. Kurai Yami, with her raven-black hair cascading in loose waves, often streaked with deep purples or pink, was that flash of color.
Standing at 5’6″, her deep gray eyes, usually so dark they were nearly black, scanned the surroundings with a piercing gaze that missed nothing. There was also something mystical about her eyes – they seemed to subtly change color, reflecting her moods and even complementing her outfits. Sometimes, they took on a shade of deep blue when she was contemplative or shimmered with a hint of green when she was in high spirits. And this could even mean a sort of multicolored rainbow effect at certain times and places.
Today, she donned a layered outfit, marrying the traditional Tokyo street style with the moody vibes of emo aesthetics. A dark skirt paired with ripped leggings, studded belts, and combat boots formed her ensemble. The finishing touches were the chokers, bracelets, and rings that adorned her, along with the bold makeup that emphasized her eyes and contrasted with her pale foundation.
Kurai’s life had not always been this way. Born in the heart of Tokyo, the only child of two US diplomats, she grew up amidst the vibrant hustle and bustle of the city. But with the onset of the apocalypse, the world she once knew transformed dramatically. Yet, even amidst this bleak backdrop, she found solace and expression in fashion.
However, her clothes weren’t the only thing that set Kurai apart. She had a unique ability, almost a sixth sense, that allowed her to detect and see demons in the world around her. A gift or a curse? She often grappled with that question. This ability, while giving her an edge in survival, also often thrust her into danger.
Growing up in a post-apocalyptic world had shaped Kurai’s personality in profound ways. She was a skeptic, rarely taking things at face value. Her wit was sharp, her sarcasm biting, often masking the whirlwind of emotions she felt inside. Yet, beneath this tough exterior lay a fiercely loyal heart, especially when it came to her best friend, Rin. The two shared an unbreakable bond, having faced countless trials together.
Education, surprisingly, still remained a part of Kurai’s life. She attended a private school that, despite its many challenges, tried to provide its students with a semblance of normalcy. In this school, amidst the ruins, Kurai discovered a love for literature, often getting lost in dystopian novels that mirrored her reality.
When she wasn’t studying, Kurai indulged in her hobbies. She loved customizing her outfits, adding her unique touch to each piece. She also had a cherished collection of pre-apocalyptic manga and novels, relics from a bygone era. To find inner peace amidst the chaos, she often retreated into meditation. And, in the school’s worn-out tennis court, she found an outlet for her energy and frustrations. She was a formidable player, her movements swift and reflexes sharp. Tennis also served as a bonding activity with Rin. The two often teamed up for spirited doubles matches.
Recently, a new face had appeared in her school, a boy named Hiroshi. His mysterious demeanor intrigued Kurai, leading to a mix of confrontations and unexpected collaborations.
Kurai had dreams, both big and small. From understanding her unique abilities to protecting her loved ones, she was determined to make her mark in this post-apocalyptic Tokyo. She also harbored a dream of restoring the school’s tennis court and organizing a tournament, hoping to bring a semblance of joy and normalcy to her community.
In the end, while the world around Kurai might have changed, her spirit remained unbroken. She was a beacon of resilience, loyalty, and hope, shining brightly in a world overshadowed by darkness.
