Inspired in part by Missing Stars, a spiritual successor to Katawa Shoujo that deals with psychological disorders, and in part by my own experiences with homelessness, drug use, and alcoholism, Hamaru Shoujo (tentative title) is an upcoming visual novel set at a fictional recovery high school for student struggling with substance use disorders. The reader takes on the role of nineteen-year-old Cody Carter, a model student and aspiring athlete whose life is suddenly uprooted by the heroin overdose that nearly kills him.

Elle Whitecross • 18 • 5'8 • 145 lbs • Cancer

The student council president and Cody's classmate. While she tries to maintain the illusion of poise and sophistication, she is notoriously forgetful and fairly clumsy. Raised by an abusive father after her mother left the picture, Elle has been attending Oakwood Recovery High School for the past two years. Her motorcycle is her pride and joy, but her licence is currently suspended.

Sora O'Neil • 18 • 5'2 • 160 lbs • Scorpio

Elle's vice president and the resident chubby pastel goth. Sora is a woman of few words, though when she does bother to engage in conversation, her puns and comeback game are impeccable. She has a dark, edgy sense of humor, and in her free time, she enjoys online gaming and binge watching psychological thrillers.

Mariah Browning • 19 • 5'9 • 139 lbs • Capricorn

An aspiring artist and poet from Cody's homeroom. Prior to enrolling at Oakwood, she dropped out of public school and lived on the street for a number of months. She manages the school's self-funded co-ed basketball team.

Agnes Shea-Walsh • 18 • 5'10 • 125 lbs • Gemini

An Irish-blooded party girl with a short attention span and an even shorter temper. If there's drama on or off campus, Agnes is usually among the first to know about it. She has a penchant for getting into trouble and can rarely ever remember where she put her cell phone, car keys, wallet, or pet cat.

Kayla Jordans • 18 • 5'5 • 122 lbs • Sagittarius

A socially-withdrawn nature enthusiast and science nerd with a strangely obsessive love of snakes. She walks with a noticeable limp and suffers from chronic pain, both results of a childhood accident that left her physically and psychologically damaged. Her favorite dessert is deep fried Oreos.

The School
Located on the west coast of the United States, Oakwood Recovery High School is a school specializing in the support and education of students with drug and alcohol addictions.It has a body of around three hundred students annually.
