Kaguya Meigetsu

Kaguya Meigetsu (冥月 輝夜 Meigetsu Kaguya) is an Obelisk Blue student at Duel Academy and duels with a Ritual-based deck called the "Lunatics". She is the younger child and only daughter of musicians, Yuu and Mizuki Meigetsu, and the younger sister of Kazuya Meigetsu.

Born into a wealthy musical family, Kaguya was considered a prodigy and spent a large amount of time preforming. As time went on, she began hating to preform, and thanks to her brother, got into Duel Monsters.

Physical description
Kaguya is a fair-skinned girl with yellow cat-like eyes and long, waist-length midnight blue hair that she usually keeps tied in twin-tails. Her bangs are rather long, some of which are swept to the side, while the rest fall between her eyes. She also usually wears either a gold crescent moon-shaped or star-shaped barrette in her hair.

Compared to other girls her age, she is less developed than most and is often mistaken for a grade schooler at first glance since she is fairly short and looks deceptively young.

At school, she wears the standard Obelisk Blue uniform, though wears black, thigh-high stockings instead of regular socks. She also wears a black garter with her deck case attached around her upper thigh.

When not wearing the school uniform, she tends to wear mostly black clothing. One of her outfits is a black cold-shoulder turtleneck top with a dark blue pleated miniskirt, and black ankle boots with black, thigh-high stockings. She also wears a frilly black and white Gothic Lolita-style dress with detached black sleeves with white frills at the ends, black thigh-high stockings, a black garter with white frills, and black and white calf-length boots.

As she is left-handed, she wears an Academy-issued Duel Disk on her right arm while Dueling.

Personality
Most of the time, Kaguya can seem like a rather stoic and serious girl, but is able to open up to people she deems trustworthy. However, since she makes it a habit of always maintaining a polite demeanor towards everybody and doesn't usually openly show anger, it can sometimes be difficult to tell how she truly feels about others. She always uses extremely polite and proper language, even when talking with those she is close to.

Despite her usually calm attitude, she has shown to display some moments of unease and anxiety whenever her past music career is brought up, as that time of her life caused her much stress and unhappiness. Because of this, she has developed a fear of performing music in front of others, and can now only enjoy the activity that she loves when she is alone.

When it comes to Dueling, Kaguya is calm and a clear thinker who tries to take in as much as she can from any Duel. While still maintaining an aura of refinement, she does allow herself to occasionally smile when she is enjoying participating in or viewing a good Duel.

Background
Kaguya comes from a wealthy and highly renowned family of musicians. She was known for her skills at playing the violin, considered by others to be a child prodigy. However, due to her parents' high standards and demands, she eventually grew to hate performing in public concerts and events, often getting anxiety attacks due to thinking she would never be able to live up to their or other people's expectations. Sensing her stress and discomfort, it was her older brother Kazuya who got her into Duel Monsters when she was six, teaching her how to play as a way to unwind and lighten up, and she quickly fell in love with the game.

While attending a social function with her family when she was eight, Kaguya met Chazz Princeton, a boy her age, and the two hit it off after bonding over a shared interest in Dueling and similar feelings of being pressured by their families. They soon became friends and would go on to see each other often throughout the years.

After a particularly bad anxiety attack after one of her concerts when she was twelve, Kaguya hit her breaking point and decided to give up her music career in favor of becoming a Duelist. When she did, she was met with disapproval from her parents, who all but disowned her for her decision. While their parents did not approve, Kazuya supported Kaguya full-heartedly and helped her enroll into Duel Prep School and then eventually Duel Academy by paying for her tuition so she could be free to pursue her dreams.

Mizuki and Yuu Meigetsu | Parents
Kaguya currently has an estranged relationship with her parents. Because of the overly high expectation they had for her when it came to music, Kaguya grew to hate performing, and this also negatively impacted her mental health for a time. It was only thanks to Kuzuya that she found another outlet. When she gave up playing music professionally to pursue a career in Duel Monsters, her parents did not approve of her decision, and all but disowned her.

Kazuya Meigetsu | Older Brother
Kazuya is Kaguya's older brother by twelve years. It was him that got her into Duel Monsters. He adores Kaguya and supports her full-heartedly in everything she does, including wanting to be a Duelist. In turn, Kaguya loves and respects her brother greatly for always being there for her and caring about her feelings and considers him to be one of the most important people in her life.

Chazz Princeton | Love Interest
Kaguya is childhood friends with Chazz Princeton, first meeting him when they were children while attending a social event with their families. Although she thinks that their personalities can clash at times and sometimes has a problem whenever he acts too arrogant, Kaguya deeply values her friendship with Chazz and is rather protective of him, always willing to do what she can to make him happy. Kaguya knows that her feelings for him are more than platonic but she settles for keeping this to herself until she can be sure that her feelings aren’t one-sided. She will occasionally engage in subtle flirting with him, however, when she wants to try getting a reaction out of him.

Deck
Kaguya uses a "Lunatic" Deck, which specializes in Ritual Summoning.
