Rabbitbloom (Fujisaki Chihiro) is the second medicine cat of CoastClan. Originally a kittypet, he joined CoastClan to get stronger.

However, he ended up somehow training to be a medicine cat. Realizing he forgot his original goal, he’s now spending some of his free time to train with Warriors. Thankfully, Adderface is there to pick up the slack to train his apprentice, Dreampaw (Yumeno Himiko). Besides that he’s fairly quiet, timid, and meet, but wants to get more out of his shell. Part of him does regret leaving his kittypet lifestyle- especially watching his old owners with their electronics- but he does enjoy his new clan life too and helping others.

Of the name I picked- the first four cats I’ve drawn most have very straight forward names. Whiteshell/Whitestar? Angie has white hair and wears a shell necklace. Originally her name was Pearlfeather/Pearlstar, but it didn’t exactly fit. Water based names didn’t really seem to suit her either. Sunsong is a name I’ve had for Akamatsu for months now that I love. Akamatsu is very bright of a character, and she has blonde hair. I made her Momota (Moonflight) Kaito’s sister as a play of each other on one’s the Sun and the other is the Moon. Song is because Akamatsu is a pianist of course. I had a bit of trouble wanting to use song in all the artistic danganronpa characters. Adderface is for one- I guess you could call any two-faced character with bad intentions a snake. I feel the coloring of an Adder also matches Shinguuji’s dusky dull colors and the feeling his appearance gives people. The translation of his name and kanji didn’t have any strong meanings that stood out to me either. He got the suffix -face as for the face mask he had. I wanted to avoid mask as I have a few others with the suffix -mask, and I like to mix it up. Rabbitbloom is one that had a lot more thought put into it for Fujisaki. For one, his favorite animal is a rabbit. He’s also very timid, and a rabbit goes along with his personality very well. As for the suffix, Fukisaki means “Two Unblooming (Flowers)”, so the bloom suffix symbolizes this, along with the fact that when he gets his name, he’s starting to come out of his shell. Or as such, blooming into a more grown cat.
