Soma Yamashita

Soma Yamashita is one of the captains of Otonokizaki Academy. He is a B Rank fighter, marking him as the weakest captain of Otonokizaki. Given his close friendship with Scarlett Hornick, his position is often attributed to nepotism, an assertion he greatly despises.

Appearance
Soma is a tall boy, with a lanky build. He has black, messy hair, and a handsome face. Outside of school he dresses well, though not on the same level as his colleague Roy.

Personality
Soma is a broody, aloof, disinterested person. Most people describe him as being emo. He enjoys reading angsty poetry, and basking in his "darkness". When coaxed into conversation, he usually has a pessimistic outlook on most things. As a fighter, Soma retains his pessimistic outlook while putting in his all. The result is typically him declaring he's lost several times over while beating his opponents to a pulp.

Abilities
Soma is a competent fighter, skilled with both the Ape's Fist and Bear Claw stances. He has fused the two into a similar style as Scarlett, though in place of her choke out focus, he prefers throwing his opponents around, and slamming them into the ground with exceptional force.

Scarlett Hornick
Scarlett and Soma are old friends, having trained together to master the Bear Claw stance. They have a lot of mutual respect for each other, though they rarely interact socially these days, as their personalities clash often.

May Ueda
Soma does not get along with May particularly well, as her shy nature and his aloofness result in little common ground.

Rokuro Hamasaki
Soma generally dislikes spending time around Rokuro and his upbeat, friendly attitude. Despite this, the two are friends, and are often seen getting along in private meetings. In public however, they tend to avoid each other.

Toshiko Honda
Soma doesn't have any particularly strong feelings about Toshiko. Her drastically different personality grates on him a little, but doesn't really breed any dislike. He is confused by her regular attempts to hang out with him, and doesn't know what to make of them.

Karen Yamashita
Soma and Karen are brother and sister. They live together with their parents, but otherwise don't spend much time together. They both learned under different instructors, and spent most of their childhoods apart. Despite this, and they're major personality differences, they get along well and care about each other a lot.

Trivia

 * His nickname Black Bear was given to him by Scarlett during their training, on account of him managing to still look goth in his training outfit.
