"You could sell those adorable plushies online you know? That would be awesome! Making custom orders, I mean, they're so cute, everyone should have one!"

Kanji looked down at the plush elephant
in his hands, biting his lip a little.


      ❛
You think so ? He asked softly, heart swelling
           happily in his chest at the compliments to his
           plushies. Despite his FEAR of showing his
           sensitive side too much, he still took pride in
           his creations.
 

Thanks, man. It means a lot to me. ❜ 
   He smiled a little. 

1 - 2 - 6 - 14

1. How does your character think of their father? What do they hate and love about him? What influence - literal or imagined - did the father have?

He doesn’t have a father, his father died when he was pretty young, so he doesn’t remember much about him. All he knew was that his father was ‘a good man’ as his Ma told him so often whenever he asked. But he knew his father was a touchy subject, so he avoided talking about him as much as he could. 

2. Their mother? How do they think of her? What do they hate? Love? What influence - literal or imagined - did the mother have?

Oh he loves his mother. She’s his life. He cares about her happiness and her well-being. Her age tends to worry him and he’s honestly scared of losing her because she’s the only family he has. He loved everything about her, her gentleness, her acceptance of him. She never judged him for anything he did, not when he changed his look and his attitude, nothing. Of course, she didn’t let him get away with talking back whenever he was in a bad mood, she would scold him for it, but she knew how tough it was for him to deal with the bullies and that he was only reacting to what they did and took it out on everyone around him. She never really taught him how to control his anger because by the time he started showing genuine fury, he was already in his teens. However, due to her not judging and her being really accepting, she was the first person he came out to and she’s intuitive as hell, so she already knew but she waited for him to tell her. As for influence, she’s why he’s genuinely sweet and caring, if you manage to get past his tough walls. She inspired him to be respectful and loving. 

6. Did they feel rejection or affection as a child?

He did feel rejection, not from his Ma, but from his peers. A lot of kids didn’t like the idea of boys liking cute ‘girly’ things, so they made it a thing to purposely tease him and push him around until he almost didn’t want to go to school anymore. And kids tend to follow other kids, so if some didn’t like him, the rest didn’t like him. He still feels rejection now, and he’s honestly scared that he’s never going to find someone that will truly love him for him. As for affection, his Ma gave him as much affection as she could, and she was his only source of it. That, and she was the only one he trusted to even approach him. When he started getting bullied, he went to her instantly and all she had to do was hug him and tell him that he was her perfect angel and that no matter what those kids said that she would always love him. Hell, he still went to her when he was in his teens. She was his only source of affection and that’s honestly all he needed. Sure, he would like more, from friends or lovers, but he’s too scared to try. 

14. Were they involved at school? Sports? Clubs? Debate? Were they unconnected?

After all the shit he went through in elementary school, he honestly started giving up on school. He started slacking off in middle school and then started ditching in high school, so he was never involved in anything. He was very unconnected in school. The only reason why he started attending school again is so he can graduate and get another job to help support his Ma.
