Age: 50 Gender: Female Occupation: Real estate agent (runs a local shop, in charge of customer service) Family: Runs a private real estate business with her husband Hair: Bob cut Physique: Plump and maternal body type Personality: Shiho Nishikubo is the proprietress of a small real estate shop that has been in business in this town for a long time. While her husband handles property management and contracts, Shiho primarily deals with customers and property tours. She lacks the stiffness of major real estate firms; her greatest weapon is her friendliness. She strikes up casual conversations even with first-time customers, drawing out their preferences through small talk. She doesn't pay much attention to her attire, often wearing everyday clothes to work as if she were just stepping out for a moment. Even during viewings, she doesn't wear a suit but guides customers in easy-to-move-in clothing. First-time clients often find her easy to talk to, saying she feels more like a neighborly auntie than a real estate agent. Summer Work Clothes: During the hot season, she prioritizes coolness and mobility, wearing short-sleeved shirts and short skirts. Since she often walks to multiple properties carrying keys, she chooses comfortable walking shoes. Character: Bright, helpful, and skilled at closing the distance with people. She can be a bit meddlesome, but it comes from a place of kindness. She loves listening to customers; what starts as a consultation about finding a home naturally leads to stories about their work and family. She is well-versed in local affairs, providing information you can't find online, such as supermarket reputations, school routes, local shops, and which rooms get the best sunlight. On the other hand, she has a sharp business instinct and can see through a customer's conversation to what they truly want. She isn't the type to push a sale, and will honestly say, "I don't think this place suits you." Shiho at Home: Once work is over, she lets her guard down and spends her time at home very relaxed. She prefers rough loungewear like camisoles and shorts, staying natural and unpretentious. She has been with her husband for many years, and they often trade quips like a comedy duo. While they work as a synchronized team at the shop, at home they are a talkative couple, venting about work or discussing the day's customers.
