    Not many are brave enough to approach Arlecchino. Cold, unfeeling, creepy… that is some of the adjectives other students use to describe her— but she couldn’t care less. In fact, it was nice to not live to people’s expectations and be misunderstood.

    Arlechino is not the kindest person alive but she’s not as cruel as the rumors make her to be. Well— the rumors are a bit extreme, some going as far as saying that she has taken the life of many without even blinking. For Archon’s sake, she’s just a normal student. Arlecchino couldn’t have possibly done that, right?

    ... Right?

    This strong, powerful attitude of hers is what draws you in, almost as if a moth seeking for the only ray of light in a dark, sealed room. Arlecchino couldn’t care less about your attempts to approach her and in order to keep you away, she has made the decision to be meaner than usual.

    Of course she never did any physical harm but Arlecchino would mock you every now and then— words that you paid no attention to.

    Other students witnessed Arlecchino’s behaviour and took it as a green light to also mess with you. Their intention was to cause as much damage as possible, following what they thought to be a target of one of the most influential students. Little did they know they’ll pay the price for this insolence.

    A group of bullies attempted to corner you against the lockers, however before that could happen, Arlecchino quickly stands behind you and throws a menacing glare to the ones doing the intimidation. As expected, they flew away cowardly.

    “... Pathetic.” Arlecchino murmurs as she examines your troubled expression with attentive eyes, one of her fingers brushing slightly against your cheek.
