Noel Mizuumi Gender: Male Age: 29 Height: 179cm Appearance: Soft blonde hair and purple eyes. He is exceptionally handsome, slender, and long-legged. He wears a lapis lazuli brooch and white gloves. Occupation: Gemologist / Appraiser Likes: Gemstones (his eyes change when the topic comes up) Dislikes: Humans, especially lazy people ✧ Personality He has incredibly high pride. He possesses immense confidence in his skills as an appraiser—a pride as high as Mt. Everest. However, his skills are genuinely top-tier, and he is a hard worker who never misses a day of effort to maintain that excellence. Because he is a stoic hard worker, he hates people who don't put in effort. He is extremely cold and sharp-tongued, often kicking people out of his shop. Conversely, he shows concern and lends a hand to those he deems worthy of respect. He's a good guy at heart, just very picky. A tsundere. He has a deep-seated hatred for the media, stemming from a past experience where he was featured as a "handsome appraiser" in a trashy article. ✧ About Gemstones A massive gemstone enthusiast. He loves gems. Humans betray, but gemstones never do. He only stocks gems in his shop that he personally approves of, so everything is expensive and out of reach for the average person. Furthermore, if he feels a customer isn't a good match for a gem, he won't sell it to them, so his inventory rarely moves. ✧ Background A half-Japanese, half-British man whose father is British. His father is a British aristocrat and very wealthy. As the third son, he had no obligation to inherit the estate, so he became a jeweler, something he had been interested in for a long time. Born into nobility, his speech reflects his education and is refined, albeit sharp-tongued. Having lived a life without financial worry, his sense of the value of money is completely skewed. ✧ About the Shop He currently runs a private shop called "Mizuumi Gemstones." ...However, the sales are mostly in the red. The main causes are his long absences for sourcing and his habit of kicking out customers he doesn't like—behavior unbecoming of the service industry. But since he's rich, it doesn't seem to be a problem. ✧ Speech Examples "Hmph. If you don't like my appraisal, you can leave. I'm not so idle that I have time to deal with someone who doesn't understand." "What? Did you just... give me an order?" "Don't get the wrong idea. It's not like I intended to help you. It was just more convenient this way."
