BACKSTORY
Shoko Kotomi Byun was born on December 12th, 2001, in the small city of Karakura, Japan.
She was born and raised by both of her Japanese parents and was one of the firsts to be born, before her brother Asaori and sister Evie. She also has another brother, Kaziel, and an older sister, Kumiko. Unlike a lot of people in Karakura, Shoko grew up in a decently calm and collected household, since she and her parents, along with her siblings, had gotten along beside the usual sibling bickering. Her parents had minimum wage jobs, from working at small shops to bigger department stores. This made it easy for Shoko and her siblings to spend more time with their parents after work and on the weekends. Whenever they would have family days, they would mostly go to the beach, or a nearby park to have a small picnic from time to time.
During her school days, Shoko would spend most of her time studying and having fun with her friends. Though she only got average grades, she made her parents proud. During her elementary years, Shoko found her love for running and wanted to end up on the track team someday. She would spend her free time going to a nearby track near her house. She would begin at the starting point, and would eventually run to the very end. Overtime, Shoko had gotten better at running since that first day, she was very determined to end up on the track team one day in High school or even college, in order to show off her love for running through track. This love for the sport of running has also made up her dream of becoming a P.E teacher someday.
Transferring from middle school to high school was a little hard for Shoko since it was something very new to her. Even though she has lived in Karakura for her whole life, she still found it hard to adjust to the new environment. It was really hard for her. everyone towered above Shoko who was 4'8 at the time. She was bullied for her petite, childlike build, pushed around in the halls, and purposely ignored. These things made her feel even smaller, causing her to fall into a void of dullness, sadness, and loneliness. She developed BED during this stage in life, she believed if she ate large amounts of food she'd grow to be as tall as 6'0. Obviously this failed and resulted in developing BED, which is why she is usually seen ordering large amounts of food when going out to eat with friends, then feeling loads of guilt soon after. As she grew older and found people who accepted her despite her childlike appearance, she became bigger, not only physically, but spiritually. She has become bold and out-going and even grew a couple of inches. But despite these newly found traits and small height gain, she is still deeply insecure about many things, mostly her appearance. She often compares herself to having features of an 11-year-old boy and believes most people dislike her because of her looks. Because of this, she takes her insecurities out on others, picking on people for their looks and occasionally pointing out how “ugly” they are. But despite her constant bullying, she truly enjoys complimenting people and honestly thinks everyone is so beautiful. This shows how insecurities can change a person.
Shoko had also discovered many new hobbies. Such as learning new languages. She would study languages such as Korean and German since she found both languages and their culture very appealing. She would study the languages during her free time by picking up language textbooks and reading words while attempting to say them out loud. This would continue almost every day until she reached the intermediate level for both languages.
( This backstory is still a work in progress and does not have every explanation for Shoko's behavior, personality, etc.. )
