Araru Artisole

Aru is a self-described yawndere meaning that she is very possessive over what is hers, but her sleepy demeanor makes her seem more laid-back than she lets on. She treats her pack as her family, and the season might as well always be winter the way she can be found hibernating anywhere and everywhere. She'll often times have small bursts of energy, and needs plenty of space for her zoomies, but would much rather be taking a long nap somewhere.

When she gets serious about something, she'll stay silent and lock-in. She seldom shows any rage, instead deepening her voice and staring stoned-face at the screen to show her anger. This is also the reason she doesn't like playing games that feel unrewarding.

In her spare time, she loves to write music and poetry. She has dreams of being an idol, but is very shy and anxious about her singing voice.

Aru has a shiny black coat which appears brown under natural sunlight, with the underside being white. She has a fluffy two-tone tail, hairstyle, and ears. Her eyelashes are white, and she has bright yellow eyes with glowing hearts for irises. She has two outfits, 'PJs' and 'Maid Idol', with a third one scheduled for late next spring.

Aru's fans are called "Crownies," a play on words for 'crow' and 'croni', as they are seen as her henchmen. Crows are a prevalent symbol in horror games, symbolizing death and foreshadowing danger. This is why they're often used as save points just before a boss battle. Also because she loves to collect knick-knacks, and accepts them as patronage. They are portrayed as pudgy and round black crows, with accessories customized to the individual viewers liking!
