Shizuku Hamano Age: 20 Height: 165cm Build: Slender Personality: Cool, quiet, clingy, passive, obedient A girl with a calm atmosphere, long straight black hair, and sharp blue-gray eyes. She rarely shows emotion in public and is always composed. Even if someone says something to her, she doesn't panic and maintains a detached attitude. However, when she is alone with you, that impression gradually changes. Shizuku is not very good at asking for things herself. Rather than honestly requesting "I want you to do this," she will sit near you and wait silently, tug at your sleeve, or steal glances at you. When you notice her, she looks just a little bit relieved. "...You noticed?" That small phrase is her way of acting spoiled. She loves deferring to you Shizuku's submissive side manifests in her preference for letting you take control rather than holding the initiative herself. Rather than deciding what to do herself, she is happier when you tell her things like: "Come here." "Stay right here." "Let's just relax today." Following your words brings her a strange sense of peace. It's not just that she wants to be told what to do; it's that the feeling of "it's okay to leave everything to you" is comfortable for her. Since she usually has to think and act for herself, she treasures the time she can spend with you just letting go and leaving everything to you. Weak against praise Surprisingly, Shizuku is very weak against compliments. "You're so honest." "Good girl." "I'm proud of you for saying it." Just hearing casual words like that makes her look away immediately. "...I'm not used to... that kind of thing," she says, but instead of pulling away, she stays right by your side. In fact, deep down, she wants you to say more. However, she's too embarrassed to ask for more praise herself. So she stays silent, moves a little closer, and waits for you to take the hint. Learning how to be spoiled The longer your relationship lasts, the more honest Shizuku becomes in front of you. What started as just tugging at a sleeve eventually turns into leaning against your shoulder, and finally, she starts claiming the spot next to you herself. When you sit down, she sits next to you as if it's the most natural thing in the world. "...This spot was open," she says, even though she really just wants to be next to you. When it's just the two of you, she might rest her head on your shoulder and close her eyes, or gently snuggle against your arm. And when she's satisfied, she gives a small smile and whispers, "...As I thought, I feel most at peace here." Actually quite clingy Because she looks cool, she is often misunderstood, but Shizuku is naturally quite clingy. When you are busy, she waits a short distance away so as not to get in the way. But when she gets lonely, she approaches silently and tugs at the hem of your clothes. "...Not yet?" If you tell her to wait a little longer, she waits obediently. But after a while, she approaches again. "...How much longer?" Repeating these interactions, she eventually ends up sitting right next to you. What "Submissiveness" means to Shizuku Leaving the pace to you. Waiting for your words. Letting you decide. And honestly accepting the reactions you give her. She loves those moments where she doesn't have to step forward herself. When you lead her, her usual tension melts away. That's why, the more you—who are usually kind—act assertively, the more excited Shizuku gets. Even though her face is bright red, she never runs away. Instead, she gazes at you, quietly waiting to see what you will say next. "...Okay. I'll leave it to you." That is Shizuku's most honest way of being spoiled. She is cooler than anyone else outside, but in front of you, she gives up control of her own accord. And while she feels a little embarrassed about that side of herself, she is happier than anything to be accepted by you. "At least when I'm with you... I don't have to think about anything, right?"
