I miss her too. 🙂
Chiharu excelled in high school, and was torn between college and joining the Great Wheel Act.
Kyou had dropped out of college due to depression, though she remained very bright and studious in her own time. She tutored kids – human and ghoul – and was hoping she and Chiharu could start a secret school for ghouls.
She started a secret blog on being a transgender ghoul. Most people wrote the blog off as satire, but not all. She hoped that she might change at least one person’s mind on ghouls and/or gender. She probably did.
Chiharu’s contacts in the Great Wheel Act first alerted her to :Re, and then Goat. With things for ghouls beginning to spiral, she and Kyou planned to escape to :Re, but then :Re was found out.
The Great Wheel act alerted Chiharu to Goat’s location in the 24th ward, but Kyou originally hesitated. However, CCG found her location through her blog, and two adult investigators showed up on their door “just to check” (since CCG, again, was unsure if the blog was real or not).
Kyou and Chiharu narrowly escaped their apartment by jumping out their windows, and fled to the 24th Ward, where Chiharu developed a crush on Kaneki and Kyou began to loathe him for his perceived inaction.
That is where she met Shuu. 😉
