Brief introduction to "Thank You For Existing"
CHARACTER BIOS BELOW
Yuni Yoshinaga
“My name is Yuni Yoshinaga, and I don’t really exist.”
Born a timid, sweet, and quiet boy, Yuni was quickly mistreated for his rare heart-shaped pupils. To avoid abuse, he donned the personality mask of “The Demon Delinquent”. Years later, a major accident occurred. Yuni was medically mistaken for Mizuki Fujisaki, a well-liked girl with the same eye condition. Feeling finally free, Yuni dubbed “his” true self as “The Girly Force” to those aware while stepping into the role. Yet Yuni couldn’t shake off the “Demon Delinquent” personality mask. Why? He doesn’t actually exist…right? Yuni is the main character of TYFE.
Primary Inspiration: Masashi Rando from Pretty Face (And Chihiro Fujisaki from DR)
Plural or Plural Adjacent?: Plural

Pan Kokoro
“I’m Non-Canon and I’m proud!”
Kokoro is your typical filler character; Never appeared in a single chapter of her source, and only a single episode of the show adaptation. The problem therein lies that the peppy girl exists inside the main character’s mind, Pan Yu. Brought to the front just a couple of weeks before the series’s canonical ending, Yu’s wedding, Kokoro is determined to find the space where she fits in best! Can she assert her existence with so many people insisting she’s just a delusional Yu, including Yu’s fiance Bow Botella? Whatever the case is, she’s surprisingly comfortable in both forms she has. Pan Kokoro is the main character of TYFE part 4: Filler Turf.
Primary Inspiration: “The Girl” from the anime of Ranma ½
Plural or Plural Adjacent?: Plural

Maya St. Fleur
“I’m Maya St. Fleur, and I’m gonna blow your mind!”
An ex-demolition woman turned psychic therapist (and a zombie descendant), Maya is employed by a recap therapy organization. Despite this, she’s actually never faced her past grief of losing several close people, choosing to forget instead. Trouble strikes when she needs to attend her own recap therapy, due to an actual total memory loss accident caused by Yuni. With slightly different circumstances, will Maya finally build on her past events? Or simply continue to demolish what shaped her...? Maya is the main character of TYFE Part 1: That’s Life.
Primary Inspiration: Razputin Aquato from Psychonauts.

Jilly Bean
“I do not feel emotions. I hope that this does not cause you distress of any kind.”
Appearing quite emotionless at first glance, Jilly Bean is actually a severely self destructive individual focused on others first. Much of this stems from her assuming she fakes all of her emotions, when in reality she’s an undiagnosed system with one low emotion alter. She has a tendency of intervening with stories she feels demonizes someone unfairly. This need to be someone else’s anchor has led her into much trouble; the lemon coloring on her body is actually scar tissue for example. With the loss of one reformed villain turned friend, Shirley A. Gonna, Jilly’s low emotion alter gets front stuck, worsening her mindset. She is a recurring character in TYFE.
Primary Inspiration: Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece

“Shut up, go away, and give me back my hand right now.”
With body stability slipping through their grasp, Amber is one of many slimes struggling with control in the energy crisis. A pawn shop owner and piano player, Amber stole the lost Hero’s pawned armor once their hands started melting from energy deficiency. This draws ire from Paltinum, as Amber isn’t aware of the armor’s side effect: Gaining unwanted passengers. Amber, already spiraling from their brother (Barry Berri) reduced to just a slime head, only spirals deeper once their hand gets accidentally possessed by Yuni. Can Amber live with not being in 100% control to save their brother? Amber is the main character of TYFE part 3: Slymberpunk.

Sur
“You may have won the battle Marcus, but I won your mom! AHAHAHA!”
One of the odder personalities in TYFE, and that’s saying something. Sur feels like a recurring antagonist that stumbled out of a saturday morning cartoon. She’s a mercenary hired to capture Marcus, and she’s in it for the money. This is because Sur is “glitched”, and needs a procedure to finally be affected by magic. She’s getting older, she needs new experiences! With most of her capture attempts failing, Sur finds out the easiest way to get closer to Marcus: His mom, currently going on blind dates. Let’s see Marcus avoid her if she integrates into the family! AHAHAHA! (Unbelievably, despite the cash deal and everything else for Sur failing, this works.)
Primary Inspiration: The Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 specifically)

Honey Mary
“W-With this tech, I-I’ll restore my sister! You c-can count on it!”
Honey Mary is one of three scientist slime sisters, that used to be four. Their youngest, Sue Mary, became completely destabilized due to the ambient energy draining from the world, reduced to a murky, barely alive puddle. Determined to save her sister, Honey poured herself (literally) into new “Flexiglass” exoskeleton tech she invented. Disaster struck, though, as “Absor-Corp’ attempted sabotaging her work. Luckily a lone stranger, Amber Berri, may have accidentally picked up her “emergency eject” bottle as an unwanted passenger…

MAYA (Part 2)
"Yuni, is this just what you deal with from the day to day?"
Something... wasn't right. Maya had only gone to recap therapy cause her memories accidentally go plucked out. She got them back, she was herself, everything should be fine. But the... "she" she was during that recap keeps popping up when the others go through their own recap stories. Does changing a few things in this, really only simulation of the past, start following it's on continuity? This "continuity error" Maya seems so much more chipper and adventurous than present her. ...And what happens when the recap catches up to the present? What's gonna happen to them her?

Achara A-wut
“If I'm a pin who was lucky enough to dodge the bowling ball, what about the other pins? Why the alley? Why is everything designed to strike someone down no matter what?”
Achara grew up as a esper with one specific goal: Be a SUPER superhero. Always with her missing sister’s old dual stripe bowler hat on, Achara is kind, gentle, and intelligently tries to solve problems… all qualities that seem to be at odds with the worldwide superhero organization. Horrified to find out how deeply corrupt and hierarchical it is, Achara realizes there’s only one way to be a real superhero: Tear down the bowling alley with your fellow pins. …And also gain a magical girl ghost living in your shadow. Sick. Achara is the main character of TYFE side story: Anarchy Alleys.

“O-m-g you’re, like, sooOooo funny! Prepare for annihilation.”
One day, a valley girl named Patricia sadly passed away, but luck had blessed her with a second life! Reborn into a fantasy world of slime people, she was placed in a slime body destined to be the hero of the land! …Too bad the original slime hero in that body suppressed her completely. Having gone multiple years without fronting once, Patricia got a third chance when “Absor-Corp” outfitted the hero with an exoskeleton, and accidentally made her be in front again! Determined to stay in front at all costs, she now works as the company’s main enforcer, Paltinum.
