Tea Rose ティローズ | They / Any | 20's | 5'2 ft (158 cm)
Previously a financially irresponsible codependent alcoholic hikkikomori NEET, Mx. Rose now lives on the grounds of a graveyard at the edge of the district. Moving on from the mistakes of their past, Tea's adamant on making the right choices- perhaps obsessively so.
They're a sweet-hearted worrywart, flirty, shy, and optimistic. Tea is humble, caring, and follows a strict moral code. They love being creative and adore all forms of art & expression. They tend to believe they're always second-choice but they're an adept emotional regulator (just kidding they bury it all deep down inside and fake it 'till they make it or break). They're VERY private, and struggle to open up, often deflecting with banter or redirecting the focus.
They strive for perfection and hold themselves to those standards unfairly- it takes someone just as stubborn, shocking, or simple reason to lower their walls.
Common attributes/symbols: roses, crosses, black nail polish, graveyard, frills / ruffles, scallop hems, v-neck, collar / chokers, worried face, smug face, blushing face, sky blue, black, red, yellow, white
Common activities/hobbies: hanging out with Osomatsu, eating food, painting traditionally / digitally, enjoying nature, dancing, reading, gardening, playing video / board games, landscaping, funerals, occult
Setting: graveyard where they live / work at is surrounded by a thick forest of oak and pine trees, Akatsuka is a prefecture in Tokyo, and any canon locations
You can draw them with:
Osomatsu Matsuno (friend -> lover) - Oso is 5'7 and Tea is 5'2. They're both physically affectionate and love food and lazing around. They often fall asleep on accident.
Matsuno Household (platonic / familial) - The brothers are also 5'7. Matsuyo & Matsuzo are taller than Tea.
Your OC/SI (platonic) - Tea is friendly and outgoing! They're a doer and prefer to be active during social outtings.
Design Notes:
Tea has a tattoo on their inner left wrist, their inner left forearm, on both outer ankles, on their inner upper right thigh, and on the back of their neck (all depicted in their references above) (the writing on their inner thigh says 'いただきます' or 'itadakimasu' or 'I humbly receive.'). They have a birthmark right of their bellybutton in the shape of a heart and a surgery scar on their upper right arm.
Sometimes Tea has different hairstyles- in all of them they have an undercut. In earlier seasons, their hair is shorter, around their shoulders. In season 4, it's grown to around the middle of their back. Their hair is naturally straight, and is only wavy after they've braided it.
Tea's smile curls up on side, like a smirk. They have eye bags. Their eyebrows are normally upturned, a habit from their "dark past."
Sometimes their fingernails are painted black or red. They prefer loose or active layers of clothing.
Trivia:
Tea believes in an after life, and doesn't believe in ghosts. They are not superstitious in the slightest. Enjoys horror, the occult, and anomalies.
Big foodie and a social eater. If people are around, they want to eat! They'll always make sure people are fed, and leave with food.
Has an "evil ex."
Associated Animal: Dragon :dragon:
Tea likes to pretend they're a busybody but really they're a homebody. They'll work hard but they always find reasons to relax. It gets worse when Osomatsu re-enters their life.
They keep a sobriety.
Tea is a huge geek… they're a video gamer AND an otaku, and keep that part of themselves hidden in their room. They have deep otaku shame, and will hypocritically talk about others while being the same way.
Voice Claims:
JP - Maekawa Ryoko
ENG - Jane Jackson
Osomatsu Matsuno おそ松 松の | He / Him | 20's | 5'7 ft (170 cm)
Osomatsu is laid-back, foolish, and has low ambitions. He feels that he has the responsibility of being the eldest brother. He is not a fan of losing. He is a lech with a good heart. He's thought of as a bland, shitty face with nothing special in characteristics about him and has identity issues. One of his favorite phrases is one spoken by his own creator, "This is how things should be!". This all transforms with Tea, as he realizes what's comfortable for him is at stake, but he's willing to brave that pressuring territory and do things proper with them. He finds value in things he previously deemed hassles or wastes of time, including his self worth. He's challenged by Tea's entropy but drawn to it.
Common attributes/symbols: beer, money, mahjong, kissy face, bedhead, horse racing tickets, red, pine family crest, pervy face, relaxed face, tired face, red, black, rust, brown, cream
Common activities/hobbies: day drinking, gambling, smoking, lounging, fishing, eating food, flirting with Tea, drawing and crafting, being included, reading (mostly manga), watching videos / TV
Setting: same as Tea including the graveyard area since he visits so often he basically lives there
Additional stuff to keep in mind: My Osomatsu has a chronic bedhead on the back of his head, the hairs point downward. Tea has a strict sobriety so he doesn't drink around them too often since he's willing to sober up to be with them.
Other things to keep in mind: They both go back and forth of who is more forward and who is more shy. They're in a spot where they flirt exclusively but avoid confessing- they're still honest with each other about how much they care. Their arc is about maturing together and living life proper.
