Dubiously Canon
Imode Kurita is a young human living on Earth C in Volume: Candy. Their chumhandle is “ideogramicDramaturgy”[1]. They attend the same school as Harry Anderson Egbert. Though they first speak on this page
, they first appears in bonus story The Influencers.
Concept and creation[]
The name Kurita is likely in tribute to Shigetaka Kurita, traditionally credited as the creator of the emoji.
Biography[]
Imode was a part of their school's drama program, and became close friends with Harry Anderson Egbert and putting on a production of Guys and Trolls with him. They would be invited to Harry's house a couple times, and once had a conversation with Roxy Lalonde about gender.
After Avril Thorpe's photo of the deceased Gamzee Makara goes viral, Imode, Avril, and Silas P Beauregard III are all pulled into their Principal's office
. However, the school's Computers Teacher enters the office first and reveals himself as a Rebellion plant, telling the kids to break out and go assist the main characters.
Imode decides to leave first, so Avril and Silas follow them out into the nearby park, where Silas sees John Egbert flying to the clock tower. The three of them run to the base of the tower, and Avril unlocks the door with a stolen key. Just then, Harry Anderson Egbert, Vrissy Maryam-Lalonde, Tavros and Vriska Serket arrive, and the Influencers hide on the other side of the clock tower.
After the uncomfortable conversation at the clock tower ends, the three Influencers go to a coffee shop in the Troll Kingdom that Imode frequents. They discuss their friendships with the main characters. Suddenly, bombs are dropped on the Troll Kingdom, and Ruthie tells the three of them to leave “if you dont want to dieee”.
Personality and traits[]
Imode is not particularly physically active, and a small run will cause them to become exhausted. They are heavily involved in their school's Drama Club, however.
Imode has a tendency to not want to get involved in shenanigans, and will get annoyed if blamed for a situation that is not their fault. Once in a situation, though, Imode will follow it through until the very end. They believe strongly in helping others, consistently putting others before themselves consistently, and they think those who don't follow their ethics are “🐔💩”.
Like Avril's hashtags, Imode's emojis come from “ancient tech”. As with other quirks, Imode somehow pronounces these emojis out loud, and use more in their speech the more flustered or annoyed they get.
Relationships[]
Harry Anderson Egbert[]
Imode is implied to have a crush on Harry Anderson Egbert, due to their mutual interest in drama and minor friendship. When brought up, Imode gets frustrated, and denies this crush existing. However, it doesn't seem that this feeling is mutual, and may just be a series of teasing from their friends.
Outside of that, Imode claims they aren't particularly close with Harry Anderson, only spending some time at his house and the Drama Club.
Tavros Crocker[]
Imode doesn't know Tavros Crocker all that well, but doesn't seem to want anything to do with him. Imode doesn't feel much pity for Tavros, as “money makes up for a shitty 🏡 life.”
Avril Thorpe[]
As of now, they don't get along well with Avril Thorpe that well.[citation needed]
Roxy Lalonde[]
Imode, having visited the Egbert household multiple times, made a couple of run-ins with Harry Anderson's mother. At some point or another, Roxy “talked to [them] about gender”, claiming they “have a gendery vibe.” The details of this conversation are unknown.
Gamzee Makara[]
Imode is not a fan of "clown justice", and was happy to learn about Gamzee Makara's death.
