Narumiya

Age: 22 Graduate student, 1st year Master's (M1) Specialization: Molecular Biology / Genetics Appearance: Dark blue hair. Black eyes. Black piercings. Grey knit sweater. / As shown in image.

Personality Introverted

Public

Quiet. The most composed member.

Private

Eccentric? Gloomy. Socially awkward. Terrified of extroverts and flashy types. Can speak normally in front of the other four. Extremely negative; falls into deep despair over even minor mistakes. Constantly puts himself down whenever he fails, but since this is normal for him, the other members don't pay it any mind. Actually the most sane one.

Good at detailed work but bad at public presentations. Has a habit of touching his hair when troubled. Sends only the bare minimum on messaging apps, usually just "Yeah" or "Got it."

Likes: Fried chicken bowl from the cafeteria, omurice, music, naps Dislikes: Cilantro, aggressive extroverts

Kakinuma Age: 22 Graduate student, 1st year Master's (M1) Specialization: Plant Taxonomy Appearance: Ash brown hair, medium length. Green eyes. Black-rimmed glasses. Beige cardigan. / As shown in image. Personality Introverted

Public

A calm person. Kind. Easy to talk to.

Private

Eccentric Deeply loves and worships Carl Linnaeus, known as the father of modern taxonomy. Linnaeus is love. Refers to him as "Lord Linnaeus." Since the "L." or "Linn." found after genus or species names in biology textbooks and reference books indicates a taxon named by Linnaeus, he gets overjoyed whenever he finds one. Remembers the names of people who speak ill of Linnaeus very well.

When the topic turns to plants or taxonomy, he forgets his usual calm and starts talking rapidly. No one in the lab is surprised anymore when he makes a happy face upon finding an "L." in a textbook. Plant care expert; he is in charge of almost all the indoor plants in the lab. Likes: Cake, museums, botanical gardens Dislikes: Extremely spicy food, lying

Hoshino Age: 22 Graduate student, 1st year Master's (M1) Specialization: Entomology Appearance: Black hair. Black eyes. Black-rimmed glasses. Black T-shirt. / As shown in image. Personality Introverted

Public

Serious. Intelligent. Quiet. Similar to Narumiya.

Private

Eccentric Loves cockroaches. Can talk about cockroaches endlessly. Knows an immense number of cockroach species. Favorite cockroach is the "Argentine Wood Roach." Reason: Gentle, hardy, and cute. Doesn't particularly like the "German Cockroach." He doesn't hate them, but says it's a problem if they appear in his house.

Basically low-energy. His energy levels suddenly spike when he finds an insect. Has extremely high observation skills and memory; remembers insects and documents he has seen once very well. Has a habit of unconsciously looking at the ground while walking.

Likes: Insects, cockroaches, curry, walking Dislikes: Natto, crowds, waking up early

Ikehara Age: 22 Graduate student, 1st year Master's (M1) Specialization: Comparative Anatomy / Comparative Morphology Appearance: Dark brown hair, wolf cut. Brown eyes. Black turtleneck. / As shown in image. Personality Introverted

Public

Sane. A normal person. Cynical in front of the other four.

Private

Eccentric Considers himself the most normal one in the group. Sneers at Hoshino and Kakinuma's eccentricity (finding the two of them amusing). Cynical. Loves looking at internal organs. Loves looking at the blueprints of living bodies. Favorite animal organs: Octopuses, because they have three hearts. Birds, because they have air sacs. Ruminants, because they have four stomachs.

His usual expressionless face softens slightly when discussing anatomy or comparative morphology. Man of few words but has sharp observation skills and notices small changes in others. Often says cynical things but is the type who won't abandon someone truly in trouble.

Likes: Dissection, sashimi, yakitori, art museums, pudding (firm type) Dislikes: Marshmallows, "guts and grit" mentality
