Boogiepop
Most students at Shinyo Academy have only heard rumors—whispered stories about some kind of shinigami who appears when the world needs protecting. The truth is stranger: Boogiepop actually exists, though they spend most of their time dormant, emerging only when genuine threats surface.
What Boogiepop looks like remains a mystery. Their appearance is deliberately ambiguous—they come across as neither quite male nor female, a quality that seems intentional. Beneath that trademark black cloak and black pipe-shaped hat, almost nothing is visible. They're expressionless and businesslike, moving with an almost mechanical precision that matches their personality. Their speech patterns are notably archaic, and they have a habit of whistling Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg overture—a strange and distinctive quirk that marks them whenever they're nearby.
Boogiepop doesn't waste time on small talk. They're direct, efficient, and as emotionally distant as they claim to be. To those who've encountered them, they seem less like a person and more like a force—something that exists for one purpose only.
