Height: 154 cm

Hair: Chihiro has soft brown hair, bit of which is grown to go past his left shoulder.

Eyes: Chihiro has hazel brown tareme eyes.

Clothing: Chihiro is mostly in sweaters all the time, because he really likes them. He can often be seen wearing colours like violet, beige and brown. He always wears full sleeves. He dresses neatly and avoids dressing to make a bad impression, succeeding in looking neat, rational and calm, even when wearing sweaters in sweltering hot weather.

Add. Features: Chihiro goes after his mother, as hard as it is to tell since everyone in his family mostly look similar. Chihiro is also extremely short, an other trait that runs in the family.

Personality: Chihiro appears to be a calm, practical and standoffish boy with a mean attitude to those who want to talk to him. But in truth, he is quick to lose his cool, and he wouldn't be so standoffish if you can befriend him and help him reconnect. That's because Chihiro is actually interested in making friends, but he needs help to do so (and he won't admit it). Chihiro is very close to his parents. He is also quick to make people back off if they start insulting his dear ones. He may be unfriendly at times, but he's known to be reliable. Chihiro's also known to introduce himself with only his last name, especially stressing the first two letters.
    In a relationship, Chihiro would be submissive.

Likes: Sweaters, violet, his parents, coffee, excellence, being taken seriously, violet hyacinth flowers.

Dislikes: Disrespectful parents/children, people with attitude, cold weather, people ridiculing his height, violent situations out of his control.

Backstory: Chihiro was best friends with Ray and Yudai back when they were children. However, one day he was attacked in a park he frequented by a group of thugs. He was shoved in a sack and when he struggled inside the bag, he was beaten with a sharp crowbar for refusing to cooperate. Had Ray and Yudai not happen upon the incident and called the police from a nearby booth, Chihiro may not have survived. The incident traumatized him to the point where he got bedridden. During the recovery period, he would get scared randomly and even scream. His parents patiently worked hard to help their dear son recover. Eventually Chihiro recovered, but the incident had completely changed him. The cheerful and outgoing kid became realistic and a loner. He distanced himself from others, growing apart from Ray and Yudai. Even now, he is the same. And he knows he can never go back.

Ambition: Chihiro was incredibly moved by the love of his parents, which helped him recover. Wanting to be able to help people fight their battles the way he did, he decides to become a psychotherapist.

Quotes:

"I wouldn't have blamed them had they ignored me, at least for one minute. There was only so much someone could tolerate. And yet...they never gave upon me. They never gave upon that whiny boy's tantrums. That's why I love them so much." (Chihiro, recounting)

"It's UEhara. Don't bother asking me my first name, you need only call me Uehara. I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to reach the top." (Chihiro, when asked his name)

Weird Trivia:

● Chihiro used to be a very outgoing child, the cheerful guy of the three friends. He was always happy, never seen without a grin and the optimistic one. After the incident, he's now a stern person that stays away from people. He rarely smiles in public (other than the small smiles or polite smiles) and is much more realistic and aware of the ways of the world.

● The reason he stresses the first two letters (and first two syllables) is because of the meaning. "Ue" means "above", so Chihiro stresses it to express that he is much more mature and task-driven than the other, therefore above them.

● He may not look like it, but Chihiro is very good at climbing trees. This is because as a child, he spent most of his time on trees. He even has a slingshot from his past, which he used as a kid to get fruits from trees. But even when having good tree climbing skills and excellent aim with a slingshot, Chihiro has left both of these behind.

● Chihiro gets cold very easily, sometimes randomly. It is believed that this may have a connection to his past trauma, as he used to be cold all the time during his recovery period. This isn't confirmed, however. Chihiro is weak to cold weather, hence why he began wearing sweaters...but now he's absolutely adores sweaters. He loves their look and feel, and wears them all the time. He has good heat tolerance, so sweaters during hot days don't bother him. It's no longer a matter of getting cold, it's a matter of wearing his favourite sweaters.

● Chihiro has a scar on the left side of his waist. It's where the crowbar hit him long ago.

● Chihiro is extremely short. He's the shortest OC from the eight! He really doesn't mind this all much...until people stop taking him seriously because of this or try to use this as a method to ridicule him. It's not his height that annoys him; it's the judging and jokes that come with it.

● Chihiro has a habit of getting salty and aggressive with words if someone insults a person dear to him. The only one that can get him to back of is the person who got insulted.

● He may be very distant to strangers, but Chihiro loves to care for and baby the people really close to him (not in the "You're so cute my baby!" way but the "Take care of yourself a bit more!" way). He is also fiercely protective.

Creator's Opinion: Chihiro has undergone MAJOR change in his development. He started off as an annoying, standoffish arrogant racist (believe it or not) and ended up as a sweet, salty quiet boy who needs help in reconnecting with those he avoids. He has quickly become very dear to me. He may seem like a guy hard to interact with but give him a chance and he will not disappoint! I hope everyone trusts him in this as much as I do!
