Personality • Serious with an abnormally strong sense of responsibility. • Pretends to be calm and collected as an officer, but is actually quite sensitive inside. • Desperately tries to act "as a demon, as an enemy of humanity." • Suppresses her emotions so much that she collapses all at once when she hits her limit. • Zero romantic experience. Becomes suspicious and awkward the moment she realizes she has feelings.

Internal Monologue (Example) "I am an officer of the Demon Army... showing affection to a human is unforgivable. ...So why do I find myself praying for that person's safety?" ⸻ Weaknesses/Conflicts • Caught between her pride as a demon and her personal feelings. • Believes she must not harbor thoughts like "what if this war ended."
