There's a fire burning in his veins and lungs... But he himself is very tame.
Chiaki doesn't know much about his past---he knows he's an orphan, but nothing else comes to mind when he thinks back to his previous life.
But when he looks and bathes in...
Sorry that this isn't a chapter---I'm currently stuck on a part that I'm not quite sure how I want to play out, but IN THE MEANTIME, here's (a couple of) references for Chiaki's design~~
I don't know if you guys already have a mental image if Chiaki, but get ready to have your expectations erased.
(Just so you know, somehow it was pretty hard finding colours that go well with purple hair. (I didn't want his outfit to be all black tho, cuz I felt it would be too hardcore for a soft character like Chiaki, so I played around with some and ended up with this mess hAHA---))
Current appearance (final? design)---(his hair grows fast, as remarked by several(mostly Hak, or himself, if I remember correctly)) : (UPDATE HAHA He doesn't wear a necklace, he has some kinda black chocker-like ribbon, large enough to cover some part of his nape)

Before fleeing the castle---his hair was shorter (also, since it was Mundeok who took him in, I noticed many of the Wind Tribe members have feather ornaments around their heads, so I wanted Chiaki to have some too) :

Here are my very first drafts of Chiaki's design---his hair was more curly and wild (not really fitting his personality, but it was cute at the time ok), and he didn't have the hair feathers, but other than that the outfit didn't change. His belt carries his butterfly swords :

Anyways thank you for your patience, please bear with me till I make my mind on the scenes to come~~
