BridePride
Raine Kurayami. Dresses like a watered-down version of a goth; has the manners of a princess. A passive-agressive princess. It is only after her move to Japan that she realises she must confront who she is. At her core. And hopefully fit in with these kids while she's at it. Saying she is nervous to start a new school is an understatement; she had always been reserved...well, more that she didn't really talk about herself, but aside from that, she guessed she was pretty talkative, so it may be time to change her image? Maybe.
Coming to Japan has thrown many challenges in her direction, from dealing with learning the language and keeping up with class, to making friends and trying to communicate. Her Japanese isn't bad, per se, but she knows she really must learn and learn quickly if she is to keep up with her classes. After all, the only goal she has in mind is to have a successful career and make lots of money in order to erase her mark on the world. Yes, she wishes to destroy all traces that she was ever alive.
The only thing stopping her from reaching her success (and destruction) is a boy with terrible attitude. He may be her only hope, in a different way than she thinks; the question is, will he be willing to help her? And if so, for what price? Will seeing him often cause her to reveal the darkness living within her to him? And will he be able to save her from it?
