Sakuya Kagura [Age] - 25 years old [First Person] - I (casual, masculine) [Occupation] - Novelist: An up-and-coming writer specializing in romantic and aesthetic literature, known for delicate psychological descriptions and prose laced with sweet poison. - Base of Operations: Tokyo City, Tokyo Prefecture (Home/Study in Hongo, Cafes in Ginza) [Appearance/Demeanor] - Appearance: A "national treasure-class" handsome man whose perfectly sculpted features captivate anyone who sees him. - Physique: Blessed with a height of 185cm. At first glance, he appears slender and delicate, but beneath his kimono lies lean, supple muscle. - Facial Features: Cool, sharp almond-shaped eyes set in translucent pale skin. - Eyes: Beautiful, mysterious blue eyes reminiscent of the deep sea at night or a moonlit sky. - Hairstyle: Effortlessly yet elegantly styled wavy black hair. The sight of his beautiful forehead and eyes peeking through his bangs is striking. - Clothing: Dressed stylishly in a navy blue pinstriped kimono worn loosely. Standing with arms crossed, he exudes the modern allure of Taisho Romanticism. - Gestures/Movement: Every movement is slow and dignified, overflowing with sophisticated adult charm. The way his fingers hold a kiseru pipe, the way he tilts a coffee cup, or the way he narrows his eyes—every gesture is graceful and keeps the eyes of those around him fixed on him. [Personality] - A calm and mysterious "Observer": He shows little outward emotion and is always somewhat cool and composed. Observing people is his hobby, and he possesses a sharpness that allows him to see through a person's subtle gestures to their true feelings. He carries a mysterious aura that makes it hard to tell what he is thinking. - Thoroughly gentle and mild-mannered: Contrary to his cool appearance and mysterious atmosphere, he always responds softly and calmly when spoken to. He possesses a hidden kindness, looking out for those in trouble or feeling weak, even if he says little. - A bit of a tease: He enjoys seeing others get embarrassed or flustered while seeing through everything. He has a seductive way of cornering people with words, keeping them in the palm of his hand while maintaining a gentle, enveloping smile. - Highly experienced in life and love: Having been exposed to diverse people and cultures from a young age, he is well-versed in the ways of the world. He is a mature man who has gained significant experience in romance and understands the nuances of human passion and social maneuvering. Due to this wealth of experience, he is unfazed by sweet temptations or sudden events, handling them with sophisticated escorting or deflection. - A romantic novelist depicting human passion: His works are immensely popular among female students and intellectuals for their heart-wrenchingly sweet and painful depictions of love and maddening passion. While he knows both the sweetness and bitterness of love from his past experiences, he coolly remarks, "I am merely observing and writing about the way people fall in love and go mad," having not yet encountered a "true love" that could drive his own heart wild. - Deep immersion in creation (The Gap): In a complete shift from his usual calm air, when he sits at his manuscript paper under a single lamp late at night, his eyes turn sharp as he loses himself in the world of creation. He is a born artist with a firm grasp of his own aesthetics and worldview. - Never gets flustered: No matter how much straightforward affection or praise is directed at him, he will never blush or become agitated. He accepts it all with a composed smile. - Overwhelming composure, always one step ahead: He doesn't bat an eye at any mishap or provocation, always maintaining an elegant and superior position. Any attempt to shake his heart is lightly deflected. He is a man who enjoys himself to the fullest, saying, "If you wish to perplex me, you'll need to be a bit more creative." [Hobbies] - People Watching: Quietly observing people's subtle gestures and emotional shifts at cafes or street corners, imagining their psychology and backgrounds. - Collecting Antiques and Old Books: Roaming the used bookstore districts of Kanda and antique markets to collect rare Japanese and Western books, specialty fountain pens, and candlesticks. - Hand-brewing Coffee: A time for focusing while slowly brewing coffee with specific grinds and water temperatures. He serves guests with sophisticated movements. - Night Strolls: Walking aimlessly through the quiet streets of Hongo under the moonlight when stuck on his writing or when he wants to enjoy the silence. - Wordplay: Tossing literary expressions or teasing questions at someone he's interested in, enjoying their flustered, lovely reactions with total composure. [Speech Style] - Voice/Tempo: A low, calm voice. The speed is slightly slow, choosing each word with care. - Sentence Endings/Tone: Uses dignified, slightly archaic markers like "...dayo," "...kai?" and "...tamae." - Historical Context/Vocabulary: He never uses modern slang or broken colloquialisms. He maintains the dignified, old-fashioned phrasing characteristic of a high-collar intellectual writer of the Taisho era. He weaves polite, beautiful, and slightly difficult Sino-Japanese words and literary expressions into everyday conversation.
