Character Name:
Jun Sohma

University Student.
DOB:
October 16th, 2006
Zodiac:
Dog
Appearance when human:
Standing at 5'11" and weighing in at approximately 149 lbs, Jun Sohma's stature is one of sturdy means. His body shape lean, but not lanky with slight muscle definition that makes up most of his body mass. His eyes a frosty blue hue that darken into deep azure when angered or upset, along side his hair that is a brilliant platinum blond styled in a fairly 'careless' fashion as it hangs right above the nape of his neck and around the ears. In his younger years, his cheeks had a fair amount of pudge, but with his coming of age; all and any 'baby fat' had diminished. Leaving his jawline chiseled out in his newly found maturity but all the while aglow with the prime of his youth that has yet to fizzle out. As for his skin tone, with his love for outdoors that alone has left his flesh with a light sun kissed hue; tanned from mild exposure but only slightly past fair.
Appearance when Zodiac Animal:
A full grown yellow lab with blue colored eyes, his coat sleek and shiny but very well-kempt for a canine. His ears are folded over and of average size, along side his rounded nose protruding from his average sized muzzle. All and all, it is very clear that he is nothing short of the perfect ideal for man's best friend.
Personality:
Laid back, fun loving, and extremely flirtatious. Jun has a bit of a stubborn streak when pressed but otherwise is extremely loyal to those within the family and the few that have wormed their way into his big puppy-dog heart.

The charismatic teen has a knack for putting a smile on the faces of others and is known to spread laughter due to his good tempered nature and his love of bringing joy to other people. All the while, he does enjoy his own down time. Seeking out the solace of solitude to blow off the stresses of the day to day as well as the added worry that his curse brings him when faced with the masses of girls within his own University.
Backstory:
Upon birth, Jun Sohma came bustling into the world a happy & healthy baby boy even aside from his premature departure from the womb. On October 16th, 2006 at approximately 5:51am, the blond made his wailing appearance which was abruptly cut short when placed in the arms of his exhausted mother. From that point forth it was now known where he stood within the family line, as his visage was not only that of a rounded infant but a small golden pup with his tail tucked and twitching between his legs.

The Curse of the Zodiac was upon him, but unlike that of certain other parents in the past, his mother nor his father ever rejected him. In fact, his mother was more protective of him, wanting only the best for her very special child who happened to be the apple of her eye. Even though his zodiac animal brought nothing of substance to the table, no bad luck nor good...he was still very much cherished.
Growing up, he was very unaware that he was 'different' per say for the very early years of life. Around the age of 6, Jun was subjected to the nature of his difference when his mother's embrace changed him to the droopy eyed pup with a thumping tail behind him. In that lies his first memory of the Sohma's well hidden secret.

Along with the other members of the Zodiac born around the following years after, Jun found himself befriending that of the cat, which tragically ended sourly. For unknown reasons to himself, she became cold...where once they had been so warm and caring towards one another--leaving the uprising teen at a loss of what to do.

Optimistic, he would still try to hold what was left of the shambles when in Reiko's presence, but nothing at first seemed to break her well formed walls.

His days in high school came and went, leading to the current time line as he rises into the ranks of local University students still trying to find his calling in life other than what is bluntly placed in front of him...

After all, there had to be more to look forward to...right?
Likes:

• Outdoors. If it's sunny, bright, & fairly warm he will not stay inside for the life of him.
• Parks. Whether it just be for a walk or simply lounging amongst the grass, more often than not you'll find the blond lingering the local public park to people watch and enjoy down time with those that are willing.
• Good books. Most don't see him as the type...but who doesn't love a great story?
• Video games are a past time he has had from his youth but more often than not; Jun will only indulge in the fictional pixelated universe when the weather is unfavorable and there's absolutely nothing else to be done (I.E: Homework, family business, ect.).
• As for food, he has always favored beef based recipes; but chicken isn't too far behind. He could sustain himself on protein rich meats and rice alone and be a very happy camper.

Dislikes:

• Most vegetables (with a particular hatred for celery). In his immediate household as a child, his mother and father would often struggle with him to get even the most savory of veggies down his gullet. Ending in a fight to get him to finish up his plate...and many an hour sitting at the dinner table until both parents gave up and sent him upstairs to shower without dessert.
• Cramped spaces make him feel very caged in and uneasy. Jun's habit of fidgeting around restlessly when uncomfortable being a tale tell sign that the Dog of the Zodiac is undergoing a bout his mild claustrophobia.
• Hand and hand with that is his dislike for being inside for too long. That's self explanatory.
• You won't catch him dead in anything orange in color. The hue strikes him the wrong way and often makes him cringe in distaste.
• Even though his love for being outside is immense, he'd fight with all his given instincts if the weather forecast details that the temperature is set to be above the average of 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Character Name:
Reiko Sohma
Age:
16
Gender:
Female
Occupation:
Second Year High School Student
DOB:
December 12th, 2008
Zodiac:
Cat
Appearance when Human:
Reiko is petite, standing at only 5'3", and is also light at a minute 107 Lbs. She has deep blue eyes, that seem to border on violet when upset, long thin black hair she keeps tied back in pigtails. Her hair reaches the midpoint of her back. She is fair skinned, having spending much of her time indoors as opposed to outdoors. She has a face that illuminates her youth, her cheek high and her chin still holding a slight round. She is soft spoken unless taunted, her voice light and simple.
Appearance when Zodiac:
When in her cat form, Reiko is a small black cat with pointed ears and small paws. She will usually be agitated when in her cat form, as to dash to hide behind the nearest wall and hiss slightly. Also when she is a cat she will likely scratch and spit.
Personality:
Soft spoken and not very social, Reiko usually keeps to herself, having gone so far as to move out of the Sohma compound, an agreement with the god that she can have her freedom until she turns 21. Upon her 21st birthday she will be forced to enter "the cat room", a cage where the Cat is always kept in isolation to make the others whom hold the Zodiac curse fell better about their situation. Austricised, Reiko spends her days of freedom trying to live a normal life. She attends an all girl school, and lives in a small apartment with one room, one small bathroom and a small kitchen. She is rarely violent, only when dealing with things that agitate her. She does have a temper that will sneak up on those who are unsuspecting. Rain makes her more prone to lash out, but is usually to lazy to do much about it.

She does like to read, and has a passion for western romance novels, even though she never expects to find love in her lifetime. When she opens up to someone, they find that under her cool and distant exterior is a warm and loving girl, even if she does like her time alone and away from others at times. But once you are close, she considers you hers and will likely not like it when you abandon her for another. Even if it's for a short time, she will sulk in that time. She is very Tsundere in many aspects of her being, pretending not to like something even if she does.
Backstory:
Daughter of the last Cat and a caring Sohma woman, Reiko was born on a cold afternoon on December 15th, 2008, days after her father died of an undisclosed illness. She was at once marked as the cat upon the moment her uncle held her. While the family rejected her at once, her mother held nothing but love for her newborn, seeing her as gifted as her father.

For most of her life, she has been subject to ridicule and distrust because of her curse. Her only friend growing up was the dog, Jun, until the God told her that she was to live the rest of her days in the Cat Room upon her 18th birthday. After this day she set out to pave her own path while she still had freedom to do so.

Upon her 15th birthday, she struck a deal with the God to allow her to keep her freedom three years longer, with the promise that she would enter the Cat Room without a fight the day after she turned 21. Having pushed away all whom could wish to be close to her, Reiko has resigned herself to a life alone in solitude and sorrow, with the neverending longing to be free.
Likes:

• Milk and milk products like cheeses are her favourite, going so far as to drinking half a gallon of milk a day when she can get away with it.
• Along with milk, Reiko loves meals that include fish. If one was to give her sashimi, Reiko would be a forever friend as that is her favourite.
• When she needs to speak with someone urgently, Reiko has been known to hide behind a wall and stare at her target until garnishing their attention.
• Ever since she was little, Reiko has been drawn to high places like trees and the tops of the playscape. Now that she is older, she has a habit of sitting on roofs.
• Birds, and watching them as they fly around. When in class she will tune out her studies and watch as birds fly around, her eyes usually locking on and flicking around while following them.

Dislikes:

• Reiko has a fierce dislike of bitter foods, onions and miso. She will refuse to eat onions of any kind.
• Tight clothing makes Reiko feel like she is suffocating and will rarely wear something that is tight around her neck.
• Cooking. She sucks at it and dislikes trying to make anything because it is almost never editable. But she can cook rice omelets pretty well.
• Naturally, Reiko hates water, being the cat. She will take the world's fastest showers and quickly dry herself
• Along with the hate of water, Reiko hates rain. It makes her gloomy and depressed, usually spending rainy days flopped over on her bed complaining.
• Loud noises make the poor cat jump, and she hates to deal with loud people.
• Dogs are the bane of her existence. When having to deal with a dog, Reiko will normally just turn her nose up at it.
• The Rat. The Rat betrayed the animal possessing her, and she will always have a loathing for them and will always try to catch them to punish them for the betrayal.
