Fuuko Takeda
“Burning bright, through the darkness of the night, cast your hopes to the skies filled with Scarlet Starlight!”
Back home, Fuuko was known for a number of things. Despite her fashion, fake piercings, and spiked ear-guards, she was about as cuddly as a kitten. Most of her friends were those that knew her before she took up that style, though, as it seemed that her fashion was enough to scare others away. It didn't matter too much to her, though- the people that mattered were those that got close to her regardless. And the fans at their little gigs loved her the way she was. Why change a formula that functions the way you want it? Not once did she regret her choices there.
There were several things that Fuuko was known for. Her loyalty and faithfulness, both to friends and fans alike, were one of these things. Her overwhelming energy and contagious joy when planning out a performance was another. Some considered her to be a bit charismatic when it came to taking charge of things- she doesn't think so, but the other members of the band all believe that she kept them together, despite various life circumstances. On top of these things, it's a well known trivia fact for friends and fans alike that her tongue is fairly long- she can lick the tip of her nose with minimal effort. More known to close friends and members in the bands, though, is the fact that Fuuko's hearing is phenomenal. She's good at playing, sure, but she's not a musical genius- most of her skill comes from hard practice and her ears' ability to pick up on the subtle sounds of each note. It's great for playing. It's also why she was so good at starting rumors back home- part of it, anyway.
While few suspect that she's cuddly and fairly light-hearted, going by her looks, even fewer realize that she's pretty fragile emotionally. She can take abuse from strangers and bullies, sure. They don't matter. What bothers her the most are feelings of betrayal, when those around her doubt her, and when her friends are in pain. Typically, when she starts crying, she can't stop until she's good and done, too. When she was told she'd be relocated to Astraea, she bawled in her room. She felt like she failed her bandmates. They all assured her that what she did was fine, though. And that, really, just made it worse. See, she tries to cry in private. Doesn't think its good publicity to show weakness or tears, and she feels that it only demoralizes those around you. But she cried when she was told everything was fine. For the present, she doesn't have enough ties with new people to be worried about betrayal or trust. And she really doesn't have too many friends because she's still sulky and depressed.
To her, being noticed is probably the best thing that could ever happen. Going about unnoticed, in the dark corners of society? That scares her far more than anything else. She's one person out of over six billion. She's nothing more than a statistic unless she does something amazing, unless she's noticed by many people. She's not even a percent on her own. But, with her friends, she feels that they can be a name in an ocean of numbers. She's fine with looking like a delinquent and making the noise of one, as well. So long as it firmly engraves her name into the minds of her peers, she's a-okay with it. It's a simple desire- something found in the hearts of many. She just wants to be recognized.

Enemies
“Hey, hey, hey. Y'do know why I got sent here, huh? Huh~? Then lemme just paint out a picture for ya. Y'don't screw with me, I'll screw y'up. And, most definitively I decree, y'don't screw with my friends. Can't find a steel pipe so easily here, but a baseball bat'll work plenty fine, y'dig?”
Lesser foes simply get their reps shattered, scattered, and dispersed. Fuuko was a skilled rumor mother back home, so it's not too hard to fabricate some half-truths without letting them lead back to her. Especially when her hearing letting her pick up on private conversations. She can be a nasty foe in general. But for those that bother her friends, she's especially vicious. Heck, it's what got her sent to Astraea. Rivals aren't really enemies until they do something nasty- if anything, they're friends too tsun to admit it.
You really have to be an enemy for Fuuko to think of you as such. And you really don't want her to think of you like that.
Friends
“Hey, hey, hey~ Your panties are showing~ Just kidding- but you did look. Your cheeks were red, too. That's cute. You're about to hit me, but your anger is just making you cuter, y'know!”
It's no secret that Fuuko is a tease and a bit of a pervert. Random people get a taste of this, but her friends get an entirely new level of this kind of treatment unless they ask her to stop. Poking, blowing in ears, running a finger up a spine? All normal things. Skirt-flipping, announcing the color or design, and playfully grinning while being hit is also normal. Sure, her friends all get harassed and/or humiliated by her on an almost daily basis, but they usually know she means well, or at least nothing bad.
Fuuko may have questionable habits and tendencies with her friends, but not a one of them doubts that she'll be there when they need her. She herself tends to rely mostly on herself with her problems, though. She's faithful and loyal to her friends, and it's not that she doesn't trust them like they trust her. She typically doesn't think about getting help, though- which has led to some interesting cases of her friends trying to get into her head. All in all, though, if you don't mind a bit of contact and cuddling, Fuuko is probably one of the best friends a person could ask for.
Lovers
“Hey, hey, h-. . .hey. S-so~ H-how about that weather, h-huh? . . . wh-what the hell're you laughing about?! This is hellishly embarrassing!”
Despite her almost flirty teasing with friends, as well as her open claims to being bisexual, Fuuko is alien to both sex and romantic relationships. Despite her willingness to hurt people that hurt her friends, as well as her blatant eagerness to embarrass said friends, she's actually pretty innocent and easily embarrassed about matters of love. Anything that does start between herself and another would likely be slow-paced and traditional. With her nature, she'd kiss on the cheek for a good long while before even considering the lips.
Whoever has their night lit up by Scarlet Starlight will have an interesting experience, though.
Plot Concept Analysis
“Hey, hey, hey! This is some super serious business over here! If you can't handle these sound shockwaves, then get the heeeeeeell out~!”
-The Songwriter-
Regardless of whether or not the whole band somehow migrates to Astraea Hill, I'd love it if the songwriter/keyboarder came. Given that Fuuko saved her from her abusive fiancee, which also led to the official dissolution of the business agreement, and the renewed freedom of the girl, she'll probably feel indebted to Fuuko. They've been friends since elementary, and they were in the Light Music club they built prior to becoming the Wings to Freedom. So they were already close before. Her presence would also cause Fuuko's spirits to soar, because she wouldn't feel as though she were completely separated from the band anymore. I am a-okay with this tying in with a romantic lovers route. Even more so if the songwriter took the wheel. That'd be amusing.
The Songwriter would be one of the more sanely-dressed members of the band- or, more correctly, the only “normally” dressed member of the band. Her usual outfits on stage were mixtures of school uniforms with cat-ear hoodies and the like. Given that her parents own companies and were trying to wed her off as a business agreement, it should go without saying that good grades were expected of her. Finer details can be decided by the player that takes this up, or can be discussed.
For appearances, I'd very much prefer it if the person used Chiaki Nanami, from Dangan Ronpa 2. If they can't find icons, or can't be bothered to make their own, I'm not against making them myself for them.
More to come later. /effort
