yuucanttouchdis[Character Name] Kanda Yuu
[Canon] D.Gray-Man
[Point Taken from Canon] After the Noah Wisely kidnaps him in Jordan.
[Age] 19 physically though he's actually 9...long story there.
[Gender] Male
[Sexual Orientation] Asexual with homosexual tendencies/feelings towards Alma. This is only because Alma is the reincarnation of his own past self's lover. The feelings were already there to start with per canon though they don't do anything.
[Eye Color] Dark Grey
[Hair Color] Black
[Height] 5'11"
[Other] There's a tattoo over his heart that looks like this:
[Clothing] Usually he'd be seen wearing his Order jacket, but if not that he'll probably be in anything that's comfortable and easy to move around in.
[Background] This is just easier.
[Personality] When you first meet Kanda you might be first struck with how beautiful he is. He's been called beautiful and pretty by different people through out the series, however upon doing so you'll soon realize that the pretty face hides a foul mouth and a bad personality. Kanda is crass, blunt, arrogant, and cold. He's very stubborn when it comes to his view of the world and he can't stand people who don't keep their promises. Kanda is also notoriously cynical and a lot of it has to do with the early months of his life.
Kanda is a Second Exorcist meaning he wasn't born in a conventional matter. Rather he was born from a pit full of liquid in the Sixth Laboratory of the Asia Branch of the Black Order. He was angry and cold towards others from the start, specifically his fellow Second Exorcist Alma Karma. He eventually befriended Alma though it wasn't under conventional circumstances. The two fought and sliced each other up until they'd died several times over. Nothing like dying to forge a friendship after all.
Sadly when Kanda is later forced to kill Alma in order to save his own life and continue living, the cynicism and coldness in Kanda's personality become even more prevalent. It's hard to say if Kanda considers anyone his friend, though his actions would suggest he doesn't.
Kanda doesn't allow others to get close to him. It isn't until much later in the series that anyone finds out the origins of Kanda's birth, previously only a select few knew, as he doesn't talk about himself. Kanda keeps to himself and prefers in that way. He's built up a wall around his heart and it keeps him from being hurt. After Alma, Kanda understands friendship as something fleeting, and in the lives they lead friends can be taken away at any given instant, so it's safer to keep them at arms length.
This doesn't mean that Kanda doesn't fight for his comrades though he has a strange way of showing what affection he does have. While in Noah's Ark he offers to stay behind to fight Skin Boric in order to give the others a chance to get away. Of course they refuse not wanting to leave Kanda behind, but Kanda, understanding that someone has to make it out alive, attacks his friends in order to make them mad enough to agree to his ways and leave him behind to do as he wants.
Coincidentally Kanda's fighting style can be rather reckless. His healing abilities make it almost impossible for him to die. Kanda has been seen to put himself in compromising positions in order to gain the upper hand of a battle. This is seen once in the anime in a filler episode when he's fighting the Millennium Swordsman, Victorio, and again when he's fighting Skin Boric.
Despite his recklessness, Kanda does have a strong will to live. It's that very will that gave him the strength to kill his best friend, and it keeps Kanda going until he can meet Alma again. There's a bit of a contradiction here as Kanda believes Alma to be dead, though he states he's still searching for 'that person' which can only mean Alma.
Kanda hates akuma. Because Kanda was artificially created from the brain of a deceased exorcist and a new body, Kanda's very existence is based on that of the akuma and the need to be rid of them. He accepts his innocence as a method for getting rid of the akuma though initially he hated it as well. As a direct result of this hatred he also hates anyone who has anything to do with the akuma including one cursed boy aka Allen Walker.
Kanda doesn't hate Allen just for being cursed though it is a large portion of his hatred. He also dislikes him immensely because their views are the complete opposite of one another's. Kanda sees Allen as someone who fights without a purpose, and who couldn't possibly keep the promises he makes as they're too extraordinary to be feasibly done; this is mostly because of Kanda's own cynicism.
Though Kanda is a part of the Black Order, he could care less what the Order themselves do. When he finds out about the Third Exorcist project, Kanda doesn't exhibit anger towards it and states it doesn't matter to him what the Order does though later it seems this is a front more than anything. He also declines to inform Kamui about Allen's turning into a Noah. Kanda, like many of the exorcist in the Order, has no other choice but to exist within the Order, so for Kanda it too has become the means to an end.
Another major point of Kanda's personality is that he is very aggressive and lives on a constantly short fuse. He reacts quickly in anger and isn't in touch with any of his other emotions besides anger. He constantly bickers with Allen at a given opportunity, he speaks harshly to Lavi and often threatens to slice him up, and it seems the only one he marginally tolerates is Lenalee. Kanda also has the mouth of a sailor. He learned to swear when he was just born in the Asia branch and while it doesn't happen often the swearing is bleeped out by nature itself the words can be so foul.
There are very few people that could be considered close to Kanda, and certainly he wouldn't call them as such, but his direct teammates Froi Tiedoll, Daisya Berry, and Marie Noise are all people who could be considered close to Kanda. Tiedoll's the one who took Kanda in and mentored him after his time in the Asia Branch. He's also the one who gave Kanda his surname, previously he was only known by Yuu. Despite Kanda's irritations with Tiedoll, he does display an air of respect for his mentor. It is however part of Kanda's nature to help his friends though he will complain the entire time. A good indication that Kanda does respect and care for Tiedoll is that he uses the name given to him by the older man. While Kanda could have made his own name or continued to go by Yuu he instead chooses to use the name Kanda.
Noise Marie is second to Alma in Kanda's heart. He first met Marie when he was attempting to escape from the Asia Branch, and Marie helped him. It's also Kanda's blood that helped heal Marie. As a result the two are about as close as Kanda's willing to let anyone get. He's shown real concern for Marie when he was incidentally hit by an akumas bullet and faced dying. Marie is also the only one of the group who is really able to get Kanda to calm down when he is pissed.
Daisya Berry, like Tiedoll, can get more easily on Kanda's nerves, however as a team mate and yet another person he's allowed to get closer to him he's not as harsh with Daisya as with others. When Daisya was killed it did affect Kanda though he didn't show it on the surface. However it is the fact that Kanda didn't say anything about Daisya's death that serves as proof he did care for his team mate. Previously Kanda has been known to comment harshly on the deaths of others particularly Finders for the Order as he doesn't believe they have the same worth as the Exorcists.
Outside of his team, there's only one person he allows close to him and that's Lenalee Lee. They've known each other nearly their entire lives, and Kanda has surprisingly been there for her when she needed someone the most, namely when she was scared of Malcolm Leverier being in the branch. She would go to Kanda when he would be meditating and ask nothing more than to sit with him. A noteworthy scene is years later when the two are older and Kanda calls Lenalee out on her fear. He doesn't however ask her to leave, only tells her to stay quiet so that he can continue meditating in peace. If he really didn't like Lenalee he would have yelled at her to leave much the same as he does with Allen and Lavi when they annoy him.
Though Kanda does openly hate Allen and dislike Lavi, he can work with them in order to get the job done. While fighting Level 4 akuma, Kanda has teamed up with Lavi regardless of neither having their innocence at the time in order to protect Kamui. The two have worked together on various other missions, and while Lavi grates Kanda's last nerve they always work well together. Allen and Kanda don’t' work together as well, but mostly because the two are always bickering or at actual physical blows with one another. Still when they're not yelling at each other they two have managed to kill akuma up to Level 4 often working in tandem.
Kanda also has a few odd eccentricities to his personality. His favorite food is soba and ever since he first tried it he's eaten nothing but for each meal. He washes his hair with soap, not shampoo, and he likes gardening. The latter is considered a type of meditation which is why Kanda enjoys it. In book smarts Kanda is number 0. It's been noted that he's the dumbest out of the four main characters, Allen, Lenalee and Lavi. While he's definitely street smart when it comes to fighting Akuma, though they occasionally get the better of him such as when he didn't notice an Akuma had mirrored the image of a Finder and preteneded to be him, he doesn't have a lot of common book sense. This does not however extend to his ability to make soba as this is also one of his hobbies. Because of Kanda's regenerative abilities, it's not possible for Kanda to have a hangover after drinking which he does do. He's also already had his first kiss at 13 though it was a drunken accident -- love is not something on Kanda's mind. Kanda also can't swim. Early on in life Alma had to help fish him out of the birthing pools not only on his birth but also later when he fell in this probably has something to do with it.
[Specialties/Abilities] Still easier~
[Affection] You can try but Kanda's a hard onion to get through. He's not very friendly and he's more likely to bite your head off than anything else, but I'm not going to stop you. Oh and don't mess with his hair.
[Fighting] Do what you'd like~ Kanda loves a good fight but don't be surprised if you're the one who ends up on the sharp end of a blade!
[Other Permissions] Telepathy is fine as if fourth walling. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask~
[Other Facts] He likes soba. Remember this :|b also best way to get on his good side is to not be a pest/annoying/exist.
