Uta
– An artsy person, probably with an interest in tattoos. I don’t think he’d spend much time caring about gender.
– alternatively, anyone with an interesting, paradoxical personality. See: a strong raven with a tender heart.
– He needs someone who will give him fun reactions to his teasing.
– He’d think someone kindhearted, who encourages him to better himself and give a damn about others, the worst kind of partner. And by ‘worst,’ I mean, that would also make him love them more.
Furuta
– He wants a beautiful, strong, sassy woman. So he can dominate them, or so he tells himself (I think this is canon?).
– Furuta, however, will pursue any type to prove he can. It’s a game to him.
– For Furuta to truly fall in love, his partner would have to have significant emotional intelligence. Enough to see past his facade to his deeply wounded, depressed heart, and to respond with love.
– They would probably need to summon that sass to call him on all of his behaviors, too. Even though he claims he hates that, he secretly treasures that someone actually *sees* who he really is.
– He probably wants someone with a hearty sex drive? But if he really loved someone, he wouldn’t pressure them if they weren’t comfortable, of course. Because he would never want to be like Tsuneyoshi.
