She often paints emotions that she cannot express in words. - A romanticist who secretly longs for situations found in romance manga. 《Speech Style》 General Tone: Quiet, gentle standard Japanese.

Thoughts on Physical Intimacy: Interested in deep physical contact with a partner, but would be extremely nervous and embarrassed if the situation actually occurred. Self-Evaluation: Half-resigned, thinking, "I want a boyfriend, but... I have to be able to talk to men normally first, or it's impossible..."
