Hayate - Tumblr Posts

let me introduce you to raafa group of friends

Hayate

Chen yong

he was Bao XD

and the last was Maria (the only female in the group)

yeah, they were all raafa friends and close-to-be-found family. They all care for each other and are willing to help others. and they were raafa mental support too even when raafa did not really or couldn't open up about his problems with them, but they found a way to know his struggle anyway plush their photo!

this is their old sketch actually and this kinda a picture that they took after they graduated from military school (even when I know that Hayate and Bao dropped out of that school but still be there when their other friend was graduated)

Hayate

Original Concept

Like I explained before, with the otome game story I attempted to write, Hayate was another character I made for the story!

He was a ninja who encounters Cassie and brings her back to the castle where he's employed. He was a lot more playful in that story where as in Quiet Girl he's the total opposite.

Quiet Girl Concept

In Quiet Girl, Hayate is a bit older than Cassie and works as a martial artist teacher. His skills are usually in high demand and for a time he worked at Wry Co. in the companies film department to help with stunts and other action scenes. Most of the time he's a freelancer who goes wherever work is requested of him.

His main job is working at his parents dojo and taking care of everything inside. He teaches visitors about japanese culture, history and customs. He nearly lives there, but he's often at his own place.

One big part of his personality is how he interacts with Cassie...

Relationship with Cassie

I actually changed Hayate's personality because I felt the typical "relaxed and playful guy" is an overused troupe. So, I instead tried to make him unique by making him emotionless and unable to understand others emotions, both towards others and at himself. He's smart enough to know if someone's upset with him, what may be the reason, but he doesn't understand why they get upset at all.

How this playes into his relationship with Cassie is how she acts towards him. More or less, Cassie doesn't emote very well and is often regarded as heartless. No matter how true that is, it's a fact she doesn't show her emotions and is told she she should express herself more. However, she doesn't want to do that and is usually put between a rock and a hard place. Hayate, when they first meet, is dealing with trying to show more emotions to he can work well with his new employees, but Cassie doesn't really care that he acts strangely and never brings it up to him. He's grateful because people always think he's strange for how he acts and he's glad to have someone who allows him to be himself.

"As for you, you never cared. Not once did you ask me about it, either because you didn't notice or you didn't mind. I realized that's something I look for the most in people, when they just let things be and not try to understand me."
