Personality: neurotic, socially awkward, devoted

If someone had to describe Jun, just one word would come to mind: neurotic. Or if they were being nice, they might say perfectionist. If he does something, it has to be perfect - and he tends to panic if it isn't. He is almost always stressed, throwing himself into his studies or helping his family. The only thing that he doesn't obsess and panic about is playing the violin. It's one of the few things that can calm him down, and he doesn't panic if his music isn't perfect.

Despite how important his music is to him, Jun doesn't actually spend much time on it. While he wishes he could make a career out of it, he sees it as unrealistic; combine that with the need to help his family, and it's relegated to simply a hobby for whenever he has a rare moment of free time. He spends most of his time studying, convinced that the more he studies, the more likely he is to find a good job after university and thus be able to help his family. As a result of all of this, he is always thinking about what he needs to get done - and if he is forced to do nothing, he becomes agitated. The closest he ever gets to doing nothing and enjoying it, is when on mass transit. He puts on his headphones and listens to music, which usually has a heavy emphasis on violinists.

There is more to him than just his schoolwork and the violin, of course. Jun tends to be fairly awkward in social situations. He has a hard time carrying on a conversation, as he never knows what to say; it's easier for him the better he knows someone, but actually meeting someone (and getting past that first conversation) is pretty difficult. Oddly enough, the easiest way for him to calm down and actually manage a conversation is by convincing himself that it isn't going to go well: if there's no pressure to succeed, he does alright. His relationship with his family suggests that if anyone could get past his initial anxious and smothering style of friendship they might find a very good friend. Jun is extremely devoted to his family, caring and protective of his little sister. He's the sort of person to go out of his way to help someone, or do something silly just to see a loved one smile.

It's when he starts to make a friend that the anxiety hits him: along with his need to work perfectly at everything else, he feels that he has to be the perfect friend. His friendships have typically one of two routes; in both of them, he is overly solicitous - some might even say smothering. In the first route, a friend becomes frustrated and annoyed by how clingy he is, leading to the eventual end of the friendship. One could argue that the second route isn't a true friendship at all, for all that it's happened fairly regularly. In this route, his supposed friends realize the benefit of someone who is so willing to give and grant favors, and have taken advantage. In the past, it has taken several incidents of a friend flagrantly taken advantage of his good will before he's realized and put a stop to it; Jun finds it hard to see the negative aspects of people he considers friends.
