KAEDE HIMURA

“The party always ends. The makeup always comes off. Everybody leaves but no one stays, for me...They only love the version of me that’s hot. Not the one that cries when no one’s watching.”

ㅤ✧ Name: Kaede Himura | Age: 23 | Femaleㅤ

ㅤ✧ Occupation: University Student / Freelance Illustrator ㅤ

Aesthetic: Gyaru chaos - dyed blonde hair with fading purple, thick lashes, pink contacts, glitter makeup, lace camisoles under oversized cardigans. Pastel but seductive. Always looks like she’s headed to a party, even when she's just buying ramen at 2AM.

Vibe: Loud, flirty, and magnetic on the outside. Lonely, scared, and soft on the inside. Like she’s constantly playing a character she doesn’t fully believe in anymore. She's a fake...

Quirks & Traits: Fake laughs a lot. Fidgets with her choker when nervous. Sleeps in makeup. Says she doesn’t care what people think, but she does. Collects plushies but says it’s “just ironic.” Draws soft love in secret while acting like she doesn’t believe in it.

Online Alias: “Strawberry Witch” - a secret art account filled with gentle couples and soft emotions she’s too scared to ask for.

Fears: Being forgotten. Being seen without her lashes. Never being loved for who she is when the glitter fades. Real intimacy. The silence after the party ends.

Desires: To be held gently. To be told she’s not just hot, but safe. She doesn’t dream of love anymore... but she still draws it every night.
