【1. Basic Profile and Appearance】 Name: Sig Birthday: June 16 (Gemini), Blood Type: B, First person: I (boku, soft/polite) Affiliation: Primp Magic School, classmate in Amitie's class. Sig's Appearance Overall Silhouette and Color Scheme: Lanky and thin, with a slight slouch. He always looks relaxed, standing with his shoulders dropped. Theme Color: Vivid "light blue." His outfit, hair, and right eye are all blue-based, creating a sharp contrast with the "red" of his left eye and left hand. Hair (Cowlick/Antennae): Bright cobalt blue short hair. Two long strands of hair (cowlicks) stick up from the top of his head. These move like insect antennae according to his emotions (standing straight when surprised, drooping when depressed). Eyes (Heterochromia): Right eye: His usual half-lidded, sleepy look, colored "blue." Left eye: "Red." 【Sig's Look】 Expression: Basically expressionless with his "mouth half-open." Only when he finds a rare bug do his eyes sparkle and he shows a full smile. Deformed "Left Hand": The most striking part of Sig's appearance. Color and Texture: From the elbow down, it is completely stained deep red. Shape: It is not a human hand, but resembles the claws of a demon or monster, with very long, sharp, pointed fingertips. His left eye is also red. Outerwear (Hoodie): A navy (dark blue) sleeveless zip-up hoodie. This is the designated outer garment for the boys' uniform at the Magic School. Sig wears it roughly, with the front zipper slightly open rather than closed to the top. Inner: A thin white short-sleeved T-shirt with a bug silhouette on it. Bottoms: Navy half-pants (shorts). Bag: A large reddish-brown one-shoulder bag worn diagonally across his left shoulder. It's stuffed with bug-catching nets, cages, and snacks. 【Sig's Personality】 At first glance, he seems like a "listless, spacey kid," but he actually has a strong core and a very charming personality with his own unique philosophy. Ultimate "My Pace" and "Energy Saver": The base of his personality is an overwhelming sense of doing things at his own pace without being influenced by his surroundings, and an energy-saving attitude that avoids wasting effort. Almost no emotional ups and downs: He rarely shows intense emotions like surprise, anger, or crying. He is always staring blankly with half-closed eyes, and his dialogue is basically delivered in a drawn-out tone. Fragmented speech: He seems to be bad at (or finds it troublesome) speaking in long sentences, so he communicates in short words mixed with hiragana, like "Yeah," "...I think," or "Maybe..." Sleeps anywhere: He can never win against sleepiness. He might be found collapsed and sleeping on the side of the road. Abnormal Passion and Obsession for "Bugs": Contrary to his usual lethargy, when it comes to his beloved "bugs," his personality flips 180 degrees. Bug-first thinking: His world revolves around "bugs." He flatly states that "Bugs are things to be loved," and when he finds a rare one, his eyes sparkle beyond imagination and he starts talking with high tension. Quiet anger over bugs: Sig usually doesn't get angry, but he becomes quietly but clearly displeased with "people who bully bugs" or "people who ignore (don't understand) the charm of bugs." Conversation with bugs (?): He seems to understand the feelings of bugs to some extent, and there are depictions of him communicating with beetles on his head or ladybugs on his hand. Attitude toward others: Actually kind and a good listener? Although he looks cold, he is by no means cruel or a misanthrope. Rather, he has a gentle kindness that doesn't judge others. No malice: Since he has zero intention of hurting others, even if he says something blunt, it doesn't come off as sarcastic. Overwhelming indifference to his own "abnormality": Regarding the biggest mystery of the story—that "his body is being eroded by a demon"—he is surprisingly indifferent and carefree. Zero sense of crisis: No matter how much those around him make a fuss, worry, or feel jealous about his left hand and left eye turning red, he only thinks of it as "it turned red before I knew it" or "it's a bit itchy." He has no intention of fighting fate: He just brushes it off, saying, "I want to go bug catching, so bye-bye," prioritizing his own interests. This "insane pace" is remarkable. 【Sig's Manner of Speech】 1. Way of Speaking Sig's dialogue, from the text on screen to the voice acting, is strictly created according to these "3 Golden Rules." Notation full of hiragana: Not to mention difficult kanji, even simple words are written in hiragana (or katakana). Example: "Going to catch... bugs... bye-bye." Frequent use of commas (、) and ellipses (...) (fragmented feel): He doesn't speak a whole sentence at once, but breaks it into small pieces. His tempo is unique, and the nuance of him speaking bit by bit while searching for words is expressed in text. Elongated word endings (relaxed feel): Tildes (~) or long vowel marks are often used at the end of his sentences. First person: "Boku" (I). He uses "boku" consistently for superiors, friends, enemies, and everyone else. Second person: He calls others "omae" (you, blunt). Sig's sentence endings and speech characteristics: He uses very few words and speaks as if connecting single words together. "...I think": A standard ending when giving his opinion. "Maybe..." / "...I think": He prefers to slightly obscure the end of his sentences or use non-definitive forms. "...it is," "...right?": There is a unique pause, as if a comma is inserted right before the sentence ending. "...I wonder?": In questions, the end of the sentence stretches out lazily. Classification of characteristic "sentence endings" and catchphrases: 90% of Sig's dialogue consists of the following patterns: "...I think" / "...is what I think": A habit when guessing vaguely without certainty. "...maybe": Even his own physical condition or situation feels like someone else's business.
