NAME: Joruri "Josuke" Higashikata
AGE: 16 (17 in Harvest)
SEX/GENDER: Female
BUILD: Taller than the average girl of her age (around 5'7"); similar silhouette, just softer, with more curve than muscle tone
HAIR/EYES: Long, dark, usually half swept into a pomp and half in a ponytail; hates people seeing it unstyled/Violet, slightly sleepy
NOTABLE FEATURES: Star birthmark on back of neck; pouty in a way that makes look insolent all the time; looks a little more like Tomoko than Joseph
HISTORY/AU DIFFERENCES:
- Named by both her grandmother, who wanted something old fashioned and dignified, and mother, who insisted on a name starting with "Jo" to match Joseph. Owing to being such a tomboyish kid, though, she picked up the nickname "Josuke" and it just sort of stuck. "Joruri" is so lame anyway- who wants to be named after a princess/creepy puppets??? tell anyone and she will die and then kill you
- Largely the same, albeit with a few other r63!AU'd characters:
- Ichiko "Koichi" Hirose
- nicknamed after Okuyasu reads the kanji on her school book backwards by mistake
- currently dating Yukako
- Ryoko Higashikata
- Josuke's grandmother and a policewoman, murdered by Angelo
- Toyoko Hazamada
- Mikitaka Hazekura
- Rohan Kishibe
- The mysterious girl with the pomp who saved Josuke's life in '87, etc etc you know the story
- Ichiko "Koichi" Hirose
- Girls still crush on majorly but especially in a "oneesan is so cool" way but doesn't have quite the same effect on guys
- oku still calls her bro cause they trans-universal bros
