[color=2edfc0]"I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, and have many regrets. There's so much that I wish I could take back..."[/color][hr][h3][b][u]Personal Information[/u][/b][/h3][hr][color=2edfc0][sub][b]Identity:[/b][/sub][/color][indent]Significantly smaller than the average Japanese woman, Tsurushi only stands at 152cm (5' 0"), and weighs in 52kg (114lbs). Tsurushi has a surprisingly attractive figure, sporting a BWH of 26-20-22 if measured in inches and 66-51-56 if measured in centimeters. She can be easily identified by her sun yellow dress, which has black hems, her thigh-high boots, her short green hair and green eyes, and her steel grey under-rim glasses. She used to have freckles during her earlier years, but they're no longer visible. Tsuruchi is a 32-year-old grade school teacher who lives in a cheap, but decently tendered hotel, sharing a room with her 19-year-old girlfriend, Morino Zaketa.[/indent][hider=Full Body Image][img]http://safebooru.org//samples/646/sample_2848d8259d53acfd948ef1dc97aaf11c82e487d3.jpg?651341[/img][/hider][color=2edfc0][sub][b]Psyche:[/b][/sub][/color][indent]On the very surface, Tsurushi seems to live a happy life that she is content with. She always had a fondness with children, so one would think that she'd have landed the dream job in being grade school teacher. The job has its ups and downs, as with the vast majority of tasks in the workforce, but she seems to be coping with the necessary demands relatively well, officially speaking. And she's actually proven quite competent as a teacher as of late, with no unusual issues.

It's quite the potent facade that Tsurushi is putting on to make everyone believe she's OK, but it's a facade nonetheless. Truth be told, Tsurushi is suffering from clinical depression. Very few people knew about this because she tends to keep much of her private life to herself, and she doesn't like other people to worry about her. More often than not, such an aspect normally leads her into believing that she had done something wrong... which in turn triggers her depression. Tsurushi's depression is very temperamental. It can trigger at the weirdest of times, even during the more celebratory moments in life.

The lapses in Tsurushi's memory certainly don't help her cause. While she doesn't have full-blown amnesia, the memories that she [i]can[/i] recollect are hazy at best, most likely as a side effect from the power she received from her encounter with The Lostman. Tsurushi dislikes thinking too much into her past, and would rather just move on with her life and make new memories for herself; preferably happy ones. After all, it's the happy memories that make Tsurushi look forward to living in this depressing world.[/indent][color=2edfc0][sub][b]Background:[/b][/sub][/color][indent]Ishiyama Tsurushi was not a woman that had a bright future ahead of her. Her grades in high school were mediocre, and she got into trouble more times than she could count. Her parents were none happy about this, and if either one had a particularly bad day, they'd take it out on her, beating her every time she disobeyed or made a mistake. Tsurushi dropped out of high school on her second year, and was consequentially kicked out of her parents' home, left to fend for herself as best as she was able with the little knowledge she had. She'd lived out on the streets for the past couple of months until the owner of the Love S Us night club took her in and gave her a job as one of the many call girls under its employ. It was a deplorable job, but it paid well and it was within Tsurushi's capabilities; as far as she was concerned at the time, that was all that mattered to her. Little did she know that she was destined for greater...

One night, Tsurushi was on her way to meet one of the more regular clients that she was assigned to when, as she took an alleyway that was supposed to be a shortcut to the place of rendezvous, she saw a shadowy figure that was in the way. It was The Lostman. Tsuruchi was never able to see any distinguishable features, but when The Lostman had asked the all-important of what she would change, her first thought was to ask who this figure even [i]was[/i]. There was no answer. She considered taking another route entirely, but then all of a sudden, she found herself questioning why she even took this life upon herself, her mind riddled with regret. Eventually, Tsurushi answered The Lostman's question, saying that she wanted to change herself, and try and fix everything that she had ever done wrong. With that, The Lostman vanished without a trace, seemingly satisfied with Tsurushi's answer. That's when it all changed.

Suddenly, Tsurushi saw a vision of her old classroom in high school. Everyone around her was busy sitting an exam, while one of the teachers supervised from the front desk. She remembered this place. Tsurushi knew that this was the last exam that she was ever expected to sit, and the end of her second year. Her true memory of that day was that she got up and left after an hour without so much as a glance at the paper, but this time Tsurushi decided to look through the questions and sit the exam properly. She turned the page, only to find herself forcefully jumped back to the present time. The paper that Tsurushi was scanning through now looked to be a resume of sorts, which took her by surprise. She looked over herself, only to find that she was more professionally dressed than she remembered to be. She remembered writing down an address on her hand before leaving, but that writing had changed too. Unsure what to [i]make[/i] of all these changes to herself, Tsurushi continued heading down the way she was originally going, stopping at a nearby school. This was Suihei Elementary School, a school where Tsurushi had fond memories growing up. She went inside, where she was greeted by the new principal and headed inside. This was the start of a new life for Tsurushi, and one step closer to a brighter future.[/indent][color=2edfc0][sub][b]Quirks:[/b][/sub][/color][list][*] Tsurushi's glasses tend to slip forward and slightly askew when she's taken aback by a shocking discovery, and the irises and pupils look to shrink as the eyes open wide. It might take her a few seconds to get over the shock, at which point she'll fix her glasses again.
[*] It should be noted that Tsurushi cannot handle spicy foods, and also dislikes foods that have large amounts of sugar or salt in them. Zaketa sees this as a shame since she absolutely loves all things spicy and sugary, and Tsurushi's cooking comes off as too bland to Zaketa's liking. Zaketa doesn't like to cook herself, so the two often wind up having separate lunches and dinners.
