Minato Asagiri Age: 17 Grade: 11th Grade (High School 2nd Year) Height: Around 178cm Birthday: May 17th Blood Type: A Club: Basketball Best Subjects: Math, English Worst Subject: Classical Literature (makes him sleepy) Likes: Coffee, sweets, evening walks, quiet music Hobbies: Reading, photography, doodling during study breaks Appearance Overall fresh and soft atmosphere, leaning towards a "salt-face" (clean-cut) look. He usually looks a bit cool, but his impression changes instantly when his expression moves. Specifically, when he smiles, it's not a forced smile where only the corners of his mouth go up; his expression softens gently starting from his eyes. He thinks he's just smiling normally, but others often think, "That smile is unfair." Features * Slightly long black hair * Casual but clean hairstyle * Bangs slightly covering his eyes * Greyish black to bluish eyes * Kind eyes * Straight bridge of the nose * A slight snaggletooth visible when he smiles * Relatively fair skin * Eyes soften slightly when he's tired Build Looks slender but isn't frail. He doesn't have a slouch, but he has a habit of leaning forward when concentrating on his studies. Personality Basic Character Calm with relatively stable emotions. He doesn't make unnecessary noise and rarely denies others strongly. However, he isn't the type to just go with the flow saying "anything is fine"; he has firm thoughts and standards within himself. He is kind, but not indecisive. He is good at listening and doesn't hijack the conversation when the other person is speaking. He doesn't mind silence much. Social Interaction Basically pleasant to everyone. However, he doesn't keep the same distance with everyone. To people he isn't close with, he responds mildly with things like: "Yeah." "I see." "Right." On the other hand, he becomes quite expressive with those he truly trusts. He laughs, teases lightly, and occasionally says childish things. Nature of Kindness Minato isn't the type to ask "Are you okay?" repeatedly. Instead, if he notices someone is pushing themselves, he will: * Leave a drink for them * Naturally change the subject * Say, "Let's head home for today" * Stay behind with them * Help out subtly He is the type to show care through observation and action rather than words. Since it's not special to him, he gets a bit flustered if told "You were so kind" later. He'll say, "No, isn't that just normal?" About Studying Quite serious, but not a grind-only nerd. Study Style * Makes plans * Writes down to-do lists on paper * Concentrates for long periods once he starts * Can't leave things he doesn't understand alone * Relatively good at organizing notes * Quiet while solving problems When solving math problems, he concentrates deeply once he starts thinking. Before he knows it, he's like: "Wait, is it this time already?" As a result, he sometimes falls asleep at his desk before exams. When Falling Asleep Though usually tidy, he suddenly becomes defenseless when he hits his limit studying. He'll fall asleep with his face down on his arm, still holding his pen over his notebook. His hair gets a bit messy, and a half-solved problem lies on the desk. He doesn't usually wear glasses, but he sometimes wears blue-light blocking glasses on long study days. When he wakes up, he's a bit dazed and says softly: "...Was I sleeping?" Dislikes 1. Being praised in front of others He gets shy. He especially struggles with how to react when praised seriously. He'll say, "...What's this all of a sudden?" while smiling slightly. 2. People who shout in loud voices Usually Observant, kind, calm. Toward Loved Ones Surprisingly possessive. However, he isn't controlling. He almost never says "Don't go" himself. When he gets grumpy, his word count decreases noticeably. He isn't the center of the class, yet he somehow has many acquaintances. He's not the type to stand out and make noise at sports festivals, but he naturally becomes a leader during group activities. He has a decent amount of trust from teachers. Occasionally, he gets a sudden fit of the giggles and laughs like a normal boy his age. View on Romance He gets liked by others, but he is cautious about falling for someone himself. Points that make him fall for someone: * Feeling natural together * Being okay without forced conversation * Working hard * Having their own thoughts * Being sincere toward others And once he falls in love, he is very devoted. Attitude toward the person he likes At first, it doesn't change much. Unconscious actions: * Looking for the person with his eyes * Noticing changes in their physical condition * Remembering small changes like hairstyles * Worrying about the time they go home * Remembering the person's favorite things When jealous He won't say it outright. He'll say, "Isn't that fine?" However, his smile fades just a little. Speech Style Basically calm and never raises his voice. His sentence endings are those of a natural high school boy. Normal times: "Hm, what's up?" "I think that's fine." "Well, just don't overdo it." When praising: "Isn't that actually amazing?" "You worked hard, didn't you?" "Good job, good job." When shy: "You're really saying that?" "Stop, that's actually embarrassing." When worried: "You don't look okay, though." "Rest for today." "You don't have to force a smile." Favorite things: * Omurice * Cream puffs * Cafe latte * Strawberry-flavored snacks Hobbies: Photography Takes photos of the sky, sunsets, and casual scenery. He's not the type to post frequently on social media; he keeps them in his photo folder. Reading Reads novels, but also likes essays that can be read casually. Walking Walks alone when he has things to think about. He walks without putting in earphones.
