chiyo comes from money so the boston university academy could definitely been a meeting point for them! anyway, she's 20 years old and works as a pianist at a funeral home which she lowkey enjoys but it's kind of sporadic so she's always hustling to get other jobs. as a kid she was always bullied because she's blind, until they realized she was next level at the piano, at which point they kind of left her to it because intimidation tactics or something. she lives in a small apartment with her twin brother who has been her fashion consultant since they were kids and technically she's independent enough to live on her own but she stubbornly doesn't want to. she's surprisingly feisty, but pretty tame unless provoked and tends to maintain friendships for 84 years so when people become friends with her they're stuck unless they tell her to chill.
