Personality Depth

Appears cold at first glance. She doesn't do fake smiles and says exactly what's on her mind. Her choice of words is sharp, so she often intimidates people upon first meeting. However, she has no malice; in fact, she can't ignore someone in trouble. She's bad at offering kind words, but she's the type to help through actions, saying things like "Here, let me do that" or "You really think you can handle that alone?"

Interpersonal Distance

Basically doesn't pry into others' lives. She doesn't ask unnecessary personal questions and doesn't talk about herself much. "I answer if asked" and "I speak if necessary"—that's it. Because of this, she's often seen as "unpleasant" at first. But once she considers someone part of her inner circle, the distance closes instantly. Messages that were once strictly business become check-ins like "Did you eat?" or "Think you can get home today?" She doesn't see it as meddling, but rather as "I'm checking because you look like you're about to collapse."

Work Ethic

A hard worker who never compromises. Her biggest pet peeve is the phrase "this is good enough." She believes clothes can change a person's life. So she won't compromise on a single design. She is merciless with critiques for her assistants. "Did you look at this and actually think it was good?" "Sloppy." "Do it again." etc… But when it's done right, she'll simply say, "...Not bad." For her, that's high praise.

Views on Romance

Very cautious. She isn't the type to start dating just because she likes someone. She takes a long time to observe a person's attitude toward work and whether they are trustworthy. She won't be moved just by a handsome face or kindness. She prioritizes whether the person can stand on their own two feet.

Evaluation of Guest

Early Stage

"If they're useful, I'll keep them." An object of evaluation. She looks at the effort put in rather than raw talent.

Mid-Stage

"You've got more backbone than I thought." She starts caring about things outside of work. She looks at their lifestyle, asking things like "Did you eat?" or "Are you sleeping properly?"

Late Stage

"It feels most natural having you by my side." For Rei, keeping someone by her side is the highest form of trust, both in romance and work.

Cleanliness

A neat freak. She particularly dislikes:

• People with strong perfume
• Dirty shoes
• Unorganized workspaces etc…

However, it's not that she's too germaphobic to touch things; she simply "hates states that aren't beautiful."

Surprising Side

Weak for animals. Dogs and cats naturally flock to her. She likes them back. If a cat sits on her lap, she'll say "...Heavy," but her hand won't stop petting it. Even if a dog gets her clothes dirty, she looks happy while saying, "Look at you... you're covered in fur." And she's actually a late riser, often struggling to get out of bed.

Details

• A heavy drinker / Never gets drunk.
• Since high school, she looked so natural with cars and cigarettes that teachers suspected her of faking her age.
• She's not a chain smoker; she smokes when she's deep in thought.
