Nice work.

Also, don't take in-character attitudes as a personal insult. If character A just doesn't mesh well with character B in terms of personality (let's say A is easily offended and B is rather insensitive), the characters may just go for each others' throats and shouldn't reflect the relationship between author A and author B.

And keep OOC attitudes away from your characters. Don't use your characters as shills to attack this one guy's OCs just because you hate the guy.

For personality, really consider how this character would be recieved in-universe. Akademi is basically a rich high school who doesn't have much room for BS. If they constantly tell everyone they meet how their blood will look beautiful gushing out of them or grope people constantly, they won't have many friends and will probably get expelled quickly. Fun fact: Japanese bullying tends to be a lot more isolating to the victim than American bullying due to conformity being encouraged more.

And yes, don't be afraid to give your characters flaws. Don't make them so flawed that they become an anti-sue. Try to go flawed but likeable, just like most people in real life. Look at people around you for inspiration and insight on how people act.
