Itori is an ukaku, flighty and deadly. She has gotten Yomo drunk to have ukaku fights before.
Nico is a powerful but dainty koukaku.
Tsuneyoshi and Yoshitoki are rinkaku kakujas.
Matsuri is a bikaku kakuja, which made Tsuneyoshi dislike him even more. Because he’s the first Washuu in generations not to be a rinkaku.
Washuu Iyo is a rinkaku.
Tatara is a rinkaku, capable of summoning four incredibly thick and powerful tentacles.
Who else am I missing?
“I don’t know, Nico. You’re – a daring woman. You’ve lived.” He takes in a shaky breath, clutching her hands. “And I – I moved here because I lost my job, and because someone needed to take care of my elderly grandmother, who, by any standards, is more lively in her 90s than I am in my 30s. I’m boring.”
Nico gasps. “No, you’re not. Sweetheart, you’ve never been boring.” She tilts her head. “And I’m not sure I would count eating people as ‘living.’”
“I envy your adventures, regardless,” he admits.
“You think I shouldn’t love you?” Nico asks.
“A bit, yes.”
“Then don’t you want to ask me why I love you?” she purrs in his ear, swinging out in front of him with that dashing smile on her face.
“Okay.”
“I love you because you are kind. I’ve never dated anyone who valued my personhood before. Whether it was my trans body or my ghoul nature, they all left or hurt me until I left. You’re the first person who hasn’t.” Nico blinks back tears. “And I love you.”
She winks. “Besides, you have a good taste in fashion.”
He laughs before sweeping her off her feet. “You’re an incredible woman, Nico.”

THIS.
I STAN THIS.
– They meet when Iyo seeks out Helter Skelter to meet people in a ghoul-friendly environment.
– Intrigued by Nico’s philosophy on beauty, Iyo orders her a drink. That’s when Nico feels flutters in her heart.
– They have a dance contest. Iyo is fantastic at dancing in proper, ballroom style. Nico is wild and crazy, but fantastic in her own way. They decide to marry their two styles, and leave together for a long walk.
– They meet up the next day and confess their feelings.
– Iyo is a bit insecure after marrying a guy who wasn’t attracted to her, so Nico provides plenty of praise.
– Nico is a bit insecure from the guys who have hurt her before, so Iyo is gentle and comforting when needed.
– They occasionally hold each other and cry about pain from their past relationships.
– Iyo joins the clowns as a slightly calming influence.
– Matsuri once ran into his ex-wife and Nico in a gay bar. They all wound up buying each other drinks and chatting amicably, and in the end, he told Iyo he was happy she found someone to love.
YOU KNOW NICO DID NOT LET HER GIRL ITORI SUFFER ALONE.
(shhhhh, Furuta didn’t die, what are you talking about? I’m right here).
“What’s up with Fumi?” Donato asks, scoffing at the small, scowling ghoul who hasn’t touched her blood wine.
“Lovesick, can’t you tell?” Nico asks breathily. Souta whistles.
“Shut up,” Fumi mutters.
“Aw, is your heart hurting because your true love might leave you if he saw the depths of your depravity?” Uta snickers as he sips his wine.
Fumi’s mouth opens. “You’re one to talk.”
“Shots have been fired,” Itori jokes. Roma nudges her, and Itori slyly turns her phone on “record.”
“Okay.” Uta eyes her. “I’ll bite. What do you mean?”
“I mean your fluttering heart around that dashing Raven, even though you like to keep your misdeeds on the side, too,” Fumi shoots back. “Because you’re in love, too! Hypocrite.”
Uta sputters as the rest of the clowns laugh. “I know you are, but what am I?”
“Now that’s just lame, Uta.” Fumi shakes her head. “I expected better.”
“On the bright side,” says Itori. “That’s as close to an admission as anyone’s ever gotten him.”
Donato – she finds him creepy tbh. Fumi is still uncomfortable with killing children for fun.
Roma – Fumi loves her. Afternoons out for coffee with Roma are always fun.
Nico – Fumi adores Nico, but Nico is quite the tease over her feelings for a certain Quinx.
Itori – Itori is Fumi’s psuedo “big sister,” doling out questionable life advice that Fumi loves to hear.
Uta – Uta once tried to tease her over Higemaru. She retorted by asking him about his feelings for Yomo and it has been AWKWARD since.
Souta – Is a very big Higefumi shipper, but clearly does not understand that they actually love each other, and that’s frustrating.
I think I know who you are. ❤ Always for you. ❤
– Nico is a surprisingly good listener for all of her energy. She will listen to your problems and give you all the hugs and kisses you desire.
– Nico’s a very physically affectionate person, so expect lots of kisses, back rubs, and snuggles.
– She will beg you to go makeup shopping with her.
– Some nights, Nico will decide that you are having a dance party. And she’s good at it.
– She loves nights in with wine/blood wine and movies. Especially romantic movies.
– She will always encourage you to be confident in yourself. Nico is a cheerleader for whom you are as a person. Your looks, your personality, your dreams, your sadness – she is here for all of it. And finds beauty in everything you do.
*sees cat + clown ask*
*throws aside queue to answer immediately*
Uta – he’s a streetwise mixed black cat and 100% proud of it.
Donato Porpora – Russian blue. I have one. They’re amazingly agile and precious.
Nico – an expensive, sly Siamese.
Itori – My vodka aunt is a luxurious, beautiful Himalayan.
Hoito Roma – Maine Coon. Large playful kakujas of fluff.
Nimura FURuta – He’s a purebred Bombay to rival Uta’s black street cat.
Full disclosure: I do not have/have never had gender dysphoria. Though I’ve done my best research, if anything is inaccurate or insensitive, please correct me.

– If Nico worries that she is a man and is just actually crazy, and she wants reassurance that she is a woman, Itori is probably the best person she can talk to. Itori listens, provides wine, and insists that Nico is her sister.
– If Nico just wants to vent, Uta is best. He’ll listen and say nothing. It’s great.
– Roma isn’t good at comfort, but, at one point, she got Donato to assure Nico that she is not going to hell.
– This may be why Nico liked Yamori. He hurt her in places she wanted to hurt herself. And made her feel reassured that she is feminine.
– Souta was actually the one who told Nico to “fucking stop with the crazy boyfriends” and to accept herself as she was. Well, everyone had, but Souta telling her commanded Nico’s attention, because he’s usually not one for doling out advice.
– She definitely brightens up after a day shopping for clothing with Itori and Roma.
