Rei Chastrue

Rei Chastrue (ちゃすとる れい) is one of the main protagonists in “Our Commitment”, she is seen closely attached to Shinto Viridian and is dedicated to both her work and friends. She is also uncomfortable when someone mentions something about 'kids' and 'childhood'.

Appearance
Rei has long silver white hair that reaches her waist, her bangs can almost cover the entire left portion of her face. She has bright azure orbs, and her hair adorns a headband with a black and white ribbon at the left side of her hair.

In her casual attire, she has a black choker around her neck with a blue gem at the middle. She wears a dark grey off-shoulder shirt beneath a dark purple top with straps. She wears a dark blue skirt with azure hemlines, a grey fringe occupying her front left lower hip and connected to her back hip. A soft grey cloth with dark grey and blue accessories [similar to an obi] sports her waist, tied into a black ribbon at her back with two long blue ends that reaches the back of her knee. She wears grey stockings with garter straps and has dark heels accompanied with lavender bandages tied around her right ankle and her left upper knee.

She always has the ribbon on her hair, for she wore one identical to it in her childhood days.

Personality
Rei is often seen as a bubbly female and is outgoing, she is independent at most times—but can be seen relying on others as well (mostly to her close friends).

She has many suitors due to her parents' persuasion of her getting married by the fresh age of twenty four, even though she dislikes the idea of it; she converses well and greets her suitors warmly to at least please her family.

History (Childhood & Adolescence)
“Please don't leave.”

Rei isn't that friendly when she was little, only having at least five friends. She’s close to Violette and Shinto for she sees them as her close buddies, but her friendship with Violette grew distant as her friend ‘focused’ on someone else.

But even if their friendship had unfortunately grown apart, she sticks close to Shinto after loosing Violette. Claiming she was a ‘stranger’ and didn't act like ‘Violette’ anymore.

When both Rei and Shinto became adolescents, although they were happy, tragedy strikes the pair abruptly. It was just days before the female’s birthday, both were walking around the vicinity of their town when Shinto tells Rei that he’s going to buy her something from the local gift shop across the street. Without even his friend’s affirmation to his offer, he had already began walking. Rei was quick to inform him that a car was driving fast towards him, but he wasn't so fast to avoid it.

Rei called for an ambulance and rushed over to her friend's form, panicking when she saw not only Shinto; but yet another body under the car that was ran over. The boy was years older, but is strikingly similar to her friend. She came to realize that it was Shinto's older brother, Linford, who had pushed his brother to the side in order not to die. Came along his own consequence, and took the fatal hit.

Both were taken to the hospital as Rei informed their parents about it, the siblings were placed in different rooms.

Shinto had been hospitalized and is diagnosed with ‘amnesia’, the car hit him on the head—and his family and the doctors are beyond surprised that he was able to survive despite his critical condition.

All that Rei knew about Linford's condition is that he is currently undergoing surgery, to which she informs his parents.

Since his parents knew that their son was with Rei at the time of accident, they accused her for it. Claiming that she pushed him to the road, and even dragged along his brother. Absurd as it sounds like, Rei wasn't able to defend herself for they kicked her out of the room.

Without hearing the female adolescent out, his family took their son away from America and decided to move to France. Without knowledge of what hapened to the older brother.

Because of the loss of someone, Rei grew determined instead of being sad. She studied hard and pursue her dream of being a fashion designer, having designed and sell her clothing by the age of thirteen, she becomes known. She was taken in as a first-timer in the MajestueuX branch in America.

When she turns seventeen, she was offered a spot in the main MajestueuX branch in France. Her family supported her, and allowed her to live in her aunt's house in France.

She comes to France for both her career, and to search for her long childhood friend.

Background (Present)
"I'll wait for you.."

Rei is a famous designer working under an equally famous company named "MajestueuX", even if only by the age of seventeen, her works are often used by models of the company. Her career is successful and keeps on improving as her work becomes even more famous around the country of France. She stumbles one day to a boy, whose appearance strikingly resembles the childhood friend that she had lost in the days of her childhood. When she sees the same pendant hanging around the male's neck, she immediately calls his name.

Shinto greets her with a small smile, and asks her if she needs anything. Devastated, Rei remembers that he had lost his memories of her due to the accident. She plays along and says that the pendant he is wearing resembles something in her possession, he replies simply. Saying that the pendant was given to him by a 'girl with black and white ribbons' when he was a kid and was being hospitalized, Rei instantly knew that the male was indeed no one else but her childhood friend.

Although she can easily tell him about his past, she decides to let him find it out on his own. The two becomes close after that day, since both of them are free from work, they decided to hang out; rebuilding the lost bond between them.

Rei is willing to wait until he remembers, and that's completely fine. Along the days, she meets many people who later on became her friends. Mostly in the convention, where she finds Andrei Castleton [a friend she met ever since she went to France] and Violette Brunswick, who was also her childhood friend [whom she grew distant to]. She meets others like Bellatrix [who visits her often] and helps her get inside the MajestueuX building, Blue Jade, and Viridi Lia [both are personal customers].

She grows close to MajestueuX's head boss, Nero, as well. She lives her days happily, waiting for the time Shinto can finally remember her again. Along, she meets new and numerous people who will later on become her friends, too.
