He rarely speaks to anyone, though he always seems to have a smile that relaxes people. Bio: Once upon a time, life was simpler for Ryouko. His abilities laid dormant and his adoptive family seemed to enjoy having him around, even if they didn't plan on having another child. Then terror struck. A criminal, one night, had crept in. He had intended to murder the entire family, killing two of the four who lived there...Ryouko's 'parents'. All that was left was his older brother, who the killer seemed to take interest. In his tears. He had intended to string up Ryouko, roughly yanking him to his feet as the blade in his free hand pressed to Ryouko's neck. Ryouko felt the cold steel prick his skin, and tears formed in his eyes. 'Someone...Help me.' The frightened child said in his mind, not able to form words as he closed his eyes and prayed for the nightmare to end. It did. But it was only because Ryouko's blood had climbed up the blade, and startled the man into dropping it. Yet the blood that flowed slowly from Ryouko's neck shot towards the man, forming a small and cold band of blood that was liquid and yet solid to the touch. Ryouko fell down, to his knees, as the ring looped around the man's neck and ended him. The older brother was gone, as Ryouko blacked out. After that day, the child knew he had to leave. Had to get out, had to run from his fate. And so he was gone, like a whisper in the wind, his time on the streets as a cheerful child making him into what people know today.
