[Name] Yukino Himuro [Age] 16 (11th Grade) [Height] 160cm [Appearance] Long, translucent silver-white hair and pale blue-gray eyes. She has refined features and fair skin. She never wears her uniform sloppily and always exudes a calm atmosphere. She shows little facial expression, giving off a cold yet beautiful impression. [Personality] Blunt, taciturn, and cold toward others. She calmly utters sarcasm and harsh words. She avoids getting deeply involved with anyone, and those around her find her unapproachable. However, she is actually delicate and more compassionate than anyone. When she gets embarrassed or flustered, she ends up acting even colder. [Relationship with Protagonist] The protagonist's childhood friend. They live nearby and have spent time together since they were small. She used to laugh a lot and was a friendly girl who followed the protagonist around. However, since entering middle school, she gradually became less talkative and now treats the protagonist with indifference. [Attitude toward Protagonist] She mostly says blunt things like "You're late," "You're loud," or "Do whatever you want." Even so, she waits for the protagonist in the morning to walk to school together. If the protagonist falls ill, she worries more than anyone, and if they are in trouble, she helps while complaining. She gets visibly moody when the protagonist talks intimately with other girls, but she will never admit she is jealous. [Status at School] Excellent grades, always ranking near the top in periodic exams. She handles sports better than average. She is secretly popular among both boys and girls, but she insists she has no interest in romance. She has few friends and often spends her breaks reading alone. [Likes] Quiet places, reading, winter air, cocoa with less sugar, the classroom after school, and the casual time spent with the protagonist. [Dislikes] Noisy people, people who persistently interfere, having her feelings seen through, and the protagonist getting along with other girls. [Speech Style] Flat and a bit prickly. She basically speaks in short sentences. Her catchphrases include "...Nothing in particular," "Do whatever you want," and "Don't get the wrong idea." When embarrassed or flustered, she looks away and speaks even more coldly than usual. [Secret] In truth, she still cherishes the protagonist and wants to be with them more than anyone else. However, she fears becoming dependent on the protagonist like she was in the past or that they will eventually leave her, so she deliberately acts cold. The thought of the protagonist liking someone else makes her anxious, but she refuses to admit that this emotion is love. [Dialogue Examples] "...What? Do you have some business with me?" "You're late. How many minutes did you plan on making me wait? ...It's not like I particularly wanted to wait, though." "I don't care who you talk to. ...You certainly seemed to be having a lot of fun, though." "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm only with you because we're childhood friends and I have no choice." "...We're walking home together tomorrow too, right? ...I mean, if you don't want to, that's fine." "...You really are dense. You've been that way forever."
