Appearance
Minori was not the most popular male in his class. Being the tallest at 5"05 at age thirteen and equipped with a good build and a sleek sword, most just kept their distance. Minori has milky-white (easily sunburned) skin and very dark, short brownish brick-red hair, combed forward with gel so as to stick up at an angle like quils. Many have described his face as piranha-like: his eyebrows arch downward (giving him an angry or spiteful appearance), and his eyes are small with narrowed pupils. His mouth is naturally collapsed into a frown, which leaves a sliver of his sharp, needle-like teeth visible more often than not. The shape of his face and jaw make him look a couple of years older than he really is. Despite his menacing facial makeup, he usually bears a bored or calm expression. His voice is very gruff, or gravelly, and on a "deep" scale from one to ten it's about a six.
