<<KARASUNO ADULTS>>

- ukai keishin

> keishin has a green thumb. his house is full to the brim with plants of all different shapes and sizes, ranging from simple cacti to azaleas, as well as a simple herb garden he uses when he cooks. he's never understood why plants are so easy for him to raise, but they're nice to have around the house.

> he dyed his hair blond as a joint dare with takinoue. both of them refuse to talk about who gave them the dare or what the punishment for it was, but shimada couldn't stop laughing about it for an entire day so their friends had a pretty good idea of who it was from.

> keishin's alcohol tolerance fluctuates a lot when he drinks, going from "stomach of steel" to "taps out after one shot." he still can't figure out where the happy middle ground is, so he tries his best to stay consistent with the amount of drinks that he does. (it doesn't work.)

> speaking of alcohol and designated drivers, he actually hates clubbing and partying. he'd much rather go to an izakaya (an informal, after-work japanese bar) than any nightclub, no matter how much better the drinks are at the latter.

- takeda ittetsu

> on the flip side of ukai, ittetsu is absolutely a master of holding his alcohol. sure, he's not the best companion when he's drunk - he gets pretty emotional pretty quick and you have to kind of baby him - but he can drink anyone under the table if he so chooses.

> ittetsu teaches japanese literature, but he's a well-rounded person in regards to other subjects as well. he's not a big fan of anything mathematics related, but he remembers quite a bit from his high school years and doesn't mind tutoring a student every so often in those subjects.

> if you were to look in his pantry, his house is full to the brim with microwave meals. it's not because he particularly enjoys the taste, and he knows they're bad for you in excess, but he barely has the time to make himself meals now, what with the volleyball team and work. the first time he got the opportunity to make himself something at home, he practically cried because holy shit it tasted so good.

> most of ittetsu's money is spent on repairing his glasses and devices because he's pretty clumsy. he's kept a tally of how many things he's broken since he started teaching at karasuno as a joke but now it's gotten up into the high fifties and he's starting to regret it.

- tanaka saeko

> saeko will, quite literally, fight anyone on behalf of her brother and her brother's friends. this includes all of the volleyball team and even ukai, akiteru, and takeda if they need it. she radiates alpha female energy.

> nishinoya picked up quite a few of his mannerisms from saeko from how frequently he would go to their house. saeko definitely knows and understands this. they annoy ryū a lot with this and it's one of saeko's favorite things to do while she's home.

> even though saeko is very outspoken and confident, she hasn't had a relationship since she was in high school. this doesn't mean she's not opposed to messing around every so often, but she's content with staying single for a while longer because she enjoys her independence so much. instead, she contents herself with pestering ryū about getting a girl/boyfriend soon.

> saeko was friends with delinquents in high school, and she was even one herself, but she's only gotten into a few fights simply because she's never understood the reason for it. why physically beat someone up and have to worry about the hospital when you can just roast the hell out of them and make them cry? (she's really good at insults, maybe better than kei.)

- tsukishima akiteru

> akiteru is skilled in regards to the fine arts. he's a lovely singer and guitarist, although he hasn't tried his hand at composing any songs, and he's pretty decent at most types of dancing. the one thing he couldn't get a handle on was writing, but he still tries anyway, resulting in some pretty hilarious short stories.

> if he were a D&D character, most of his skill points would be put into charisma. he's an amazing public speaker and he's decent at figuring out people's ulterior motives. that isn't to say he's attempted to go into public speaking or politics as a career, but he's on a college debate team alongside volleyball and he's pretty well-known because of it.

> he's a fan of physical affection. now that they've mended their relationship, whenever he sees kei at home he'll never hesitate to tackle his brother in a hug because he knows how much kei hates it. the first time kei ever willingly returned the hug, akiteru practically burst into tears.

> speaking of his brother, akiteru definitely spoiled kei when they were younger. kei's favorite food is strawberry shortcake because akiteru would always bribe kei into doing things by giving him a slice. akiteru kind of regrets it now because kei will absolutely ask akiteru for things, knowing that his older brother will eventually give in, but he likes seeing kei happy.
