Overall health: fairly well but may fall victim to occasional sickness when she stressed herself out. Thanks to her bi-polar disorder Tsuyako  may fail to take care of herself because of her dramatic mood swings

Personality:  Because Tsuyako had Bi-Polar disorder, her personality may change quite drastically in between her manic and depressive phases. Although she identifies her true self in between these cycles. Both cycles last a week each and her remission period lasts for about two weeks.

Transmission period:   Tsuyako often appears very tense and keeps to herself during this period and often falls off the radar to others. To her peers, she is socially awkward and has a hard time verbally communicating. During this period she is usually quiet and reserved but still easily annoyed.

Manic phase: During her manic phase, Tsuyako’s personality changes drastically. Her usual quiet self suddenly explodes with energy and she becomes talkative and overly friendly. A rumbling ball of energy Tsuyako will often recruit anyone she can tohelp her with her childish goals. She is determined to make friends with all the people in her class and usually causes an uproar doing so.  In this phase, Tsuyako often has a hard time paying attention, finishing her school work and sleeping. She also gets in trouble because she may cause several disruptions in class and become angry with people who do not show her enthusiasm. Also, Tsuyako is extremely clingy and overly affectionate during this phase. Although she isn’t normally one for skin to skin contact, Tsuyako admits that in this phase she desires to be wanted and develops most of her crushes during this time. She feels like she is on top of the world during this phase. This usually lasts about a week.

Depressive phase: Unlike her manic phase, Tsuyako is downtrodden and easily depressed during her depressive phase. . She loses all interest in things around her. She will skip school during this phase and becomes easily agitated and even aggressive from her depression. During this phase she feels there is nothing to live for and that she is a waste to her society. Most day sshe can’t even manage to get out of bed and the only thing to bring her joy is her dog, Tora. Although Tsuyako causes mild disruptions during her manic period, her depressive period is what gets her in trouble the most. Unable to cope, Tsuyako becomes wildly aggressive and will often times resort to violence. She is not above physically hurting someone and is considered dangerous during this time. This phase lasts usually a week.

Likes: quiet places, the color pink, cute things, hamburger steak, her dog tora, strawberry milk, monthly comics, being alone, her space,  singing/music (it helps her cope) and the smell of tobacco (it reminds her of her father)

Dislikes: loud, crowded places (prone to claustrophobia) occasionally her mom, herself (Bi-Polar disorder) cats and rainstorms of any kind, social situations, doctors/psychiatrists basically

Background and history:

When Tsuyako was a child she lived an average happy life. Tsuyako had always been prone to moodiness and tantrums and her parents considered it natural. However, around her third year in primary school it was clear that Tsuyako began to change. Her mood swings were erratic and she passed through phases of being so excited and then days later becoming too depressed to attend school. Concerned, Tsuyako was taken to the local physician who transferred her to a psychologist where she was diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder. Although Tsuyako’s strange behavior could be explained by her diagnosis it did little to teach her how to handle it. Within a couple of years, Tsuyako had become increasingly aggressive and occasionally aviolent causing her parents to disregard her during these ‘episodes’. Before long, Tsuyako’s father split with his mother due to prolonged stress and to this day, Tsuyako is at a loss for where he is. By the beginning of junior high, Tsuyako was completely isolated from others as they had heard about the strange girl who couldn’t control her emotions. By the start of her first year in senior high, Tsuyako had learned to keep to herself and to not bother others and she would have remained this way had it not been for a certain person’s intervention…
