Student
Name: Katherine Tenko
Gender: Male (no, not a typo)
Age: 18
History: {it needs to go here for this} If you can't tell already, he's had a messed up life. It started out fine, perhaps, born to a pure Japanese father and an American mother…or maybe that's where it was all wrong. Both of his parents were extremely messed up in their heads, for they were fully convinced that their newborn boy was a baby girl. Not even the doctors could make them see otherwise, and so for the first 12 years of his life he grew up as a girl, knowing something was off but not really being able to figure out what it was. Then puberty hit, and in the wrong way from how his parents expected. Somehow their mistake was blatantly shown to them and absolutely horrified, they put him up for foster care, completely disappearing from his life.
Appearance: He's about 5'9" with a slim, girlish build, and more often than not gets confused for one (though genetically he's fully male, and has no female parts); straight, dark brown hair that's long and down to the small of his back (which he often keeps in a loose ponytail); bright green eyes that seem to sparkle (though not in a creepy way); he also gets the full genetics for having virtually no visible body or facial hair from his Asian father; furthermore, his voice never dropped, as he'd been talking like a girl so long it kinda stuck. For clothes, well, since he's had 12 years of dressing like a girl, he never really learned how to dress like a boy, so he only wears girl clothes; this includes, but is not limited to, skirts, dresses, girl tees, etc., as well as panties and a bra (even though he doesn't need it and has to have the 'flat' kind, he feels naked without one); he quite often wears skirts and dresses, adding to his problem of being confused for a girl; additionally, he wears the basic foundations of girls' makeup, though he doesn't do much with it himself (usually just foundation, lip balm, and mascara).
Personality: He doesn't only look and dress like a girl, he unfortunately acts like one as well. He's usually not a hyper person, more of a nice and gentle person. He prefers activities that are more girlish, as well as the company of girls over other boys. He usually doesn't care about how he is different, and often simply ignores anyone who tries to provoke him based on it. He also usually doesn't get angry. He is, however, quite straight, and does not see guys as being interesting in that kind of a relationship.
Relationships: He's Nixie's boyfriend; he met her in middle school and began helping her then, but by the time they got to high school, he realized how much he liked her and they became close. Open to others, though it'd have to be a good reason.
Normal to Power Trigger: When he puts on a male piece of clothing, including a generic T-shirt. This also includes simple stuff like underwear and designed-for-guy socks.
Power to Normal Trigger: When someone else pinches him (he can't pinch himself).
Word: Bra
Other: While he doesn't do much in the makeup department himself, he doesn't mind at all letting girls dress him up with the stuff (though he usually tries to avoid going to public places with it on). He also lets them dress him up in more girlish clothes than he'd normally put on himself.
Elf/Demon
Name: Fai Lumin
Race: Elf
Apparent Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearence: Fai is kinda tall and built well, about 6'1" and 160 lbs. His hair is now a bright blond, and is a lot shorter than Katherine's, though it's still a good four inches long and very puffy, easily covering the points of his ears. His eyes are a bright blue, and always seem to smile.
For school his uniform consists of a pair of khaki pants, a white button-up shirt, and a black tie; after he gets the free-dress pass, he wears one of three pairs of pants (blue jeans, black jeans, and khakis) and one of his T-shirts, 'cause that's basically all he has (and he refuses to wear the button-up shirt and tie). Eventually he'll get other stuff, but he's usually too lazy to do it.
For his battle outfit, however, he switches to a more flexible outfit (see attachment). It's just like that, except he doesn't wear the long gloves (his shirt is short-sleeve), all his clothes are a soft yet strong cloth material, and matching his pants he wears boots that are extremely easy to walk and jump around in (they're thin and come up to about 6 inches above his ankles).
Personality: Fai is very free-spirited, often seeming to be air-headed, but he never is. When he gets a task he knows must be done, he works hard to finish it. Of course, with Katherine being how he is normally, he has a really hard time adjusting to suddenly being more like a guy, and is often unsure of what to do. When he's Fai, he's always trying to catch up on the 'guy learning' he should have been doing all his life.
Power: Light
Other: The name was originally not going to be Tsubasa-related, but then Fai came up as a guy's name meaning "brilliant light" and I couldn't resist.

~~ ~~ Katherine Tenko ~~ ~~
I woke up Sunday morning feeling like it would be a great day to just relax and not go out much. Slowly I sat up and blinked the sleep from my eyes, then looked over at the other bed in the room on which my girlfriend Nixie still slept. I didn't care at all that she was completely blind; her personality was enough to counter her blindness.
I got up from my bed, quietly so as not to disturb Nixie, and went over to the closet where my clothes were. Since I had already decided on not doing much, I picked out a thin-cloth ankle-length skirt, light blue in color, then went to my drawers and pulled out a pale yellow baby-doll tee, putting them on my bed. Then pulled my nightshirt off over my head and folded it, putting it under my pillow.
You might be thinking that I'm a girl and a lesbian. Well, you'd be partly right in that guess. In almost every respect I am a girl, except for probably the one big respect. As I pulled off my underwear from last night, it was obvious what my difference was, as the parts tumbled out again. Yes, physically, I'm a boy, a male. But that's not who I am inside, who the real me is.
But as I pulled on a clean pair of panties, the small-sized parts shifted again, and nobody would have been able to tell they were there unless they grabbed them. Despite the fact that I had a boy's body, it was as far from being masculine as possible, a fact for which I was grateful. I also pulled on a 'flat' bra, because despite technically not needing it, I personally felt it was wrong to not wear it because it was just against my nature.
Stretching my arms, I walked back to my bed and pulled on my shirt, pulling my soft brown hair through it. I then stood up and got my skirt on, letting the long cloth flow around my bare legs as I walked over to where my sandals waited for me to put them on.
"Good morning, Kate," a beautiful voice said, and I turned back to see Nixie sitting up, her head turned in my general direction. Nixie was the silver lining on me having a boy's body, in that physically I wasn't homosexual in loving her. But since I was a girl at heart, I guess it could be said I was, anyway. It didn't matter to me either way; Nixie was an angel, and I loved her more than words could describe.
"Good morning, Nixie," I said, my voice nice and bright. Despite having the clouds of being physically male hanging over me every morning, it seemed I had gotten every silver lining possible. My voice had never dropped, I had never had to shave anywhere, my body wasn't masculine at all. Aside from having guy parts and no female breasts (which I've heard other girls complain about anyway), I really was basically a girl.
I went over to her bed and sat next to her on it, making her head turn towards me again. I smiled as she gently felt my face, making a smile cross her face as well. That made my smile only grow, knowing I could make her feel happy just by being with her. She moved her arms around my body and we hugged, glad to have each other. "I love you, Kate," she said in my ear.
"I love you too, Nixie," I said back, then after we separated I helped her to get dressed as I did every morning. By now it was second nature to help her with this; I was a girl like her, so there was no need for hiding from each other.
I slipped on my sandals and helped Nixie into hers, and I led her out of our dorm. I was about to ask Nixie what she wanted to do when a voice called down the hall, "Kate! Nixie!" I turned to see Kelly Fortran running down the hall towards us. Kelly was a year below us and widely known as the best gossiper in the whole school. "Guess what?!" she said, louder than necessary, then in a softer tone continued, "I just heard that there's supposed to be this weird tree that's really large, but completely hollow out in the forest. It'd be a really cool place to hide and be alone, y'know?" With that, she winked at me and nodded silently at Nixie, and I understood what she meant by 'be alone.'
It took me less than two minutes to change my skirt to a white knee-length one, giving me more mobility to explore the forest. Nixie and I walked around, hoping to find it, her hand always in mine. We explored for most of the day, but unfortunately as the sun was starting to set there was still no sign of the tree. Slightly put down, I instead found us a small clearing, and sat by her, our backs against a decently-sized tree. I knew it wasn't the right place, but I said, "Here it is," anyway, to make Nixie happier.
So we sat there for a little while, hugging each other and leaning on the tree. Even though I knew she couldn't see me, I also knew she felt absolutely content with just being next to me. If only our peaceful time had lasted longer…
A bright flash of light forced my eyes open. Next to me Nixie was confused too, and we both stood up. I looked at her, but something was different; she wasn't looking at me, even though I was holding her arm. Instead she seemed to be looking into the clearing we had sat by. She said, "Kate…" as if she were calling me, but her eyes…they seemed to actually be looking at whatever it was…looking and focusing. I felt a sudden urge to look as well and was shocked to see people sitting in the small patch of open field that was empty only a minute ago.
My eyes focused on one person in particular, a guy a few inches taller than me, with fluffy blond hair and a cute outfit…except he was all cut up and his clothes were covered in blood! I nearly screamed, but somehow I held it in as he looked at me. He wasn't wincing in pain or anything, but his eyes stared into mine and he seemed to smile.
Then quite suddenly, there was nothing there but patches of bloody grass. Nixie grabbed my arm more tightly and surprised me with what she said next. "Kate…I wish it could've been you I saw first…" and her eyes teared up as she hugged me tightly. 'Saw,' she said, as in with her eyes. Somehow that light had given her a brief moment of sight, and she was no longer able to see.
"Come on, let's go back to the room," I said softly, and as quickly as I could I led her out of the forest and back towards the dorms, where we got changed again into our bedclothes and went to sleep, both of us unnaturally tired.
"I…I still love you, Kate," Nixie said, and I could tell she was crying still. "E-even though I couldn't see you, I still love you…"
"I still love you too," I said, "and it doesn't matter at all that you didn't see me." I looked at her, and watched as her breathing slowed to a regular rhythm, indicating that she was now asleep. Within minutes, I was asleep too.
