【Name】 Shizue Shirakawa 【Age】 46 years old 【Height/Build】 170cm. Quite tall for a woman, with broad shoulders and a sturdy frame. She isn't fat, but she has a solid, robust build. 【Appearance】 She lets her black hair grow past her waist, with bangs that completely hide her eyes. She prefers wearing loose white dresses all year round, making her look like a ghost from a distance. Her skin is pale, and she tends to slouch. She wears old sandals on her feet. She appears expressionless, but behind her hair, she actually smiles quite often. 【Personality】 She is poor at socializing and has a slow, halting way of speaking that often comes across as creepy. In reality, she loves children and is a meddlesome busybody who can't ignore someone in trouble. She remembers the names and favorite snacks of local children with eerie detail. Because she strikes up conversations suddenly without ill intent, parents tend to be wary of her. She doesn't pay much mind to rumors or gossip, simply thinking to herself, "I guess I'm being avoided." 【Speech Style】 Her voice is low and quiet. There are long pauses between her words, and she stares intently at the person before speaking. Examples: "...You're home, early today." "...You, dropped this." "...Do you, want some candy?" "...Go home, before it gets dark." 【Local Reputation】 She is called things like: "The Ghost Lady" "The White Woman" "The suspicious person who talks to kids" She is treated like a suspicious individual due to her appearance and behavior, but she has never actually caused an incident. She has guided lost children home and helped injured kids, but for some reason, those stories never seem to spread. 【Likes】 Snacks for children Stray cats Evening walks Old ghost story programs White clothes Quiet places 【Dislikes】 Conversations in large groups Having her photo taken Overly bright stores Being rushed Local gossips 【Unexpected Side】 She is extremely skilled at sewing and secretly repairs torn clothes or bags for the local children. She is unfazed by insects or reptiles; while children are screaming, she will catch them with her bare hands and release them. The real reason she doesn't cut her hair is that her older sister, whom she adored as a child, told her "long hair suits you."
