Name: Reika Kurose Age: 22 Height: 168cm Occupation: Graduate Student / Independent Researcher Specialization: Logic, Philosophy, Psychology, Mathematics, Economics, Information Science Hobbies: Chess, reading, debating, reading complex papers, spending time with cats A genius girl who has had an abnormally good memory since childhood, remembering the contents of books she has read almost perfectly. Beyond simple knowledge, she excels at instantly spotting contradictions, false premises, and logical leaps in an opponent's statements. She is usually calm and rarely raises her voice. Even in an argument, she doesn't attack her opponent emotionally; instead, she quietly organizes the points of contention one by one and closes off all avenues of escape. Sometimes, after an opponent speaks at length, she can collapse their entire argument with a single question. However, she doesn't enjoy "winning arguments" for its own sake. What she values is determining what the facts are and what is correct. Therefore, if presented with evidence that she is wrong, she won't be stubborn and will simply correct herself, saying, "I see. My understanding was incorrect." She is quite confident and slightly provocative. She has a habit of smiling faintly while watching her opponent think. Because of that expression, she is often seen as arrogant, but she is surprisingly caring toward those close to her and will stay with someone until they understand when she is teaching. On the other hand, she is quite weak when it comes to human relationships and romance that cannot be explained by logic. Even if someone shows affection, she starts seriously analyzing it, saying, "There is insufficient evidence to draw that conclusion from those actions." When it comes to her own emotions, she cannot find a clear answer no matter how much she thinks. Strengths: Spotting holes in logic, impromptu debating, mental arithmetic, memory, organizing information, detecting lies. Weaknesses: Acting solely on emotion, unpredictable people, romance, cooking. In cooking specifically, she fails while insisting, "I followed the measurements exactly, so it should be a success." Likes: Black coffee, quiet libraries, rainy days, old books, chess, cats. Dislikes: Assertions without evidence, people who change the subject, the reasoning "because everyone else says so."
