Teru Horie (堀(ほり)江(え) 照(てる), Horie Teru) is the composer of Klimt's Night, where she is known by her stage name, Ame. Klimt's Night is a duo that consists of her and Warabi, which is under Stray Beat, the same label Kessoku Band is a part of.

Character Information

Hailing from a family of well-known musicians, Teru has a talent for music and has composed and sang original songs under her own name during her teenage years. However, having faced accusations of nepotism from people on the internet, she forced herself into hiding. Despite that, she continued to compose songs under the pseudonym Ame and was later joined by Warabi to form Klimt's Night.

She has been a fan of Guitarhero early into the channel's existence, finding emotional support from watching her improve and grow.

After a scandal that nearly made her quit, she agreed to form a band with Nene Ohyama and Elena Hinata, which she will pursue alongside Klimt's Night.

Appearance

Teru has medium-length silver hair with bangs that cover up her eyes.

She wears a cornflower blue jacket with a large hoodie and has a pair of yellow headphones wrapped around her neck. A whale pin and a regular hairpin can sometimes be seen attached to her hood.

Personality

Teru is considered to be even more of an introvert than Hitori. Having lived as a shut-in, she has very little experience socializing with others. She goes out of her way to avoid direct social interactions, only making exceptions for people she is comfortable with. When talking, she often stutters and her voice frequently cracks as she speaks. When faced with stressful situations, she pulls hard on her hoodie strings so that her hood covers up her entire face tightly.

Relationships

Warabi

Warabi is her partner in Klimt's Night, but Ame barely communicates with Warabi in person outside of one short conversation behind a translucent barrier. Despite these shortcomings, Warabi is still willing to perform the songs Ame composed to the best of her abilities.

Hitori Gotoh

Bocchi along with other Kessoku Band members first met her during their arranged meeting by Miyako Shiba. Bocchi resonated with her well due to them sharing similar traits, and tried to communicate with her with the conviction Ame would talk better with introverts like her. They later get along well.

Ame is a fan of Guitarhero and managed to find out it is Bocchi's net persona just from her deduction. Because of this and how Bocchi managed to get into an actual band, Ame looks up to Bocchi, despite being older and more experienced in music than her.

Etymology

• The name Teru means "to shine" (ひとり).
• Her surname Horie means "canal" (堀江, hori).
• Her stage name, despite only been stylized in Roman characters, can either literally mean "rain" or "sweets" - which either both explains her clothing style or her role in the duo unit (as Warabi also derived from a sweet)

Trivia

• Klimt's Night is based on the Japanese music groups YOASOBI and ZUTOMAYO.
  • In reference to YOASOBI, Ame is the counterpart of Ayase, the composer of the unit.

• Her surname is derived from Atsushi Horie, the vocalist, guitarist, and keyboardist of Straightener. Atsushi is also a member of FULLARMOR, and his solo unit, ent.
