Hiromishima

Hiromishima, or Shima for short, is one of many of Akari's characters. He doesn't exist outside of the internet because Akari is his author.

His personality was warped when he first came into chat, but by New Years of 2021, he was back to normal with his original personality.

Appearance
Shima's outfit changes depending on which personality he was. He has dark brown hair and light brown eyes like his sister's. With his chatroom personality, he wore blue hoodie, as you can see in the art. Now, with his original personality, he wears a blue sweater and white shirt with a collar. His icon is し, which stands for Shi.

Personality
In chat, he was someone who couldn't accept or handle affection so he'd lash out and get defensive. A tsundere, as some would say. However, his actual personality is very different. He's shy and gets overwhelmed easily. He's insecure about himself and feels guilty about many things. However, he tries to be confident around the last remaining people in chat. He also has a strong feeling over affection and compliments with a few lewd thoughts. Although it does still embarrass him.

Background and History
Shima was lonely and insecure for a lot of reasons but the main one was his sexuality. Over time, he developed scopophobia, which is a fear of being looked at. Then he met Akiyoshi, who he thought was making fun of him. They both slowly became friends over time before developing feelings for each other. They started dating in their first year of high school and onward. Now they both live together, happily. Sakura invited him to the Dragons and he joined. That's when he changed, having his personality established in chat. He was different outside of chat and inside of chat. He stayed in chat with this personality till revealed he wasn't real and Akari was the one talking behind the screen. As of New Years 2021, he got his true personality back. While Akari, Shizu, and Gin are the only ones left, Shima and Sakura still come in quite a lot. Now with Akiyoshi and Ryuma coming along too.

Sakura
Sakura and Shima are siblings and they both have a very close relationship. Shima would go to her for advice and Sakura would help him with panic attacks and breakdowns. As they got older, Sakura started being more playful and teasing towards Shima. However, they're both still very close.

Yasu
Yasu liked to tease him and Shima would yell back in embarrassment and anger. While they both argued and Yasu would say many lewd things to him, they both got along decently. Yasu never had the pleasure to meet Shima with his actual personality. The result would indeed be interesting.

Gin
Who can forget Gin? They are virtually dating. They both like each other and Gin would often flirt with him. However, this is only online. Gin is still open in real life. Shima tends to get anxious around Gin but still really likes his compliments and affections. Whether if they are dating online or just friends, Shima's content with just being by his side. Although, he wouldn't mind some affection on the side.

Akiyoshi
They're actually dating. When they were younger, Akiyoshi would help him be more confident and Shima didn't feel lonely anymore. However, Shima did have a bit of a mental crisis. He wasn't sure if he liked Akiyoshi for him or because he's based off Gin. However, he does love Akiyoshi for him and their relationship is stronger with the communication between them now.

Akari
Shima is scared of Akari. This is because she could kill him or anyone he cares for. However, even with all that, he follows her orders obediently. He doesn't talk bad and doesn't say many bad things about Akari either.
