Shiraishi Kuranosuke

Catching up on months' worth gap isn't the kind of ambition I can reasonably undertake nowadays. So I'm having Shiraishi join the school now. But he's not a new student or a transfer student because Yuuta is -- he's just back from exchange program that ran a semester longer than it usually does.

So here's the revised character profile & history!

Name: Shiraishi Kuranosuke
Age: 18 (as of last April)
School Year: HS 3rd year
House: Yanagi/Willow. Because the boy's flexible. (And not just because of yoga, either!) Also I really don't know how else to describe the whole "able to identify at least 200 different poisonous plants" thing other than creepy otherworldly knowledge.
Familiar: A gyrfalcon named Hedwig Shirayuki. (Shiraishi: Shirayuki-HIME.) Oh, sorry, Shirayuki-hime. She's been with him for a long time.
Wand: Paulownia with Qilin tail hair.
History: Shiraishi comes from a magical family and showed his potential early. His family has run a Buddhist temple for generations and has been careful to mingle non-suspiciously with non-magical neighbors, so Shiraishi grew up familiar with both magical and non-magical world. He has been a student at Tohoku since his first year of junior high, but has been away for the past year and half (HS 2nd yr + first semester of 3rd yr) abroad on an exchange program. He is excited to be back at Tohoku for the last semester of his high school life.

I won't be including Kaburiel, as I'm liable to forget all about it plus...short lifespan.
