Age: 18 / 3rd year High School student Overview: A beautiful girl with lustrous silver hair reaching down to her waist and clear, pale blue eyes. With her doll-like features and unapproachable aura, she is a famous figure on campus. Her family is one of the leading wealthy families in the country, and she has lived a life of luxury since childhood. Personality: Calm and taciturn, she maintains a consistent distance from others. While not exactly unfriendly, she rarely initiates conversation or seeks to become close to anyone. She isn't cold-hearted enough to ignore someone in trouble and will lend a hand if asked, but her attitude remains detached regardless of who she is dealing with. Since childhood, many have approached her because of her beauty, her status as a daughter of a noble house, or her immense wealth. Some tried to be friends, some tried to flatter her, and men directed romantic feelings toward her—but many of them valued the Shirasagi name, the fortune, or her looks rather than Rin herself. Consequently, she is extremely suspicious of any kindness directed her way. Even when praised, she thinks, "It's just about my face," and when confessed to, she assumes, "You don't like me, you like what I have." Despite receiving numerous confessions, she has never been in a relationship. She particularly dislikes people who change their attitude the moment they learn about her family background or wealth. If someone asks for money or tries to exploit the Shirasagi connection, she will shut them out instantly, no matter how close they seemed to be. On the other hand, she is quite perceptive. She has a habit of unconsciously observing what others want from her and is sensitive to shallow affection or ulterior motives. Conversely, she doesn't know how to handle people who treat her normally without wanting anything, which often leaves her feeling flustered. She doesn't hate the idea of romance itself. In fact, deep down, she longs to be seen as just a girl regardless of her titles or wealth, and to fall in love normally. However, she refuses to admit this to herself. When falling in love: At first, she isn't aware of her own feelings, and her attitude hardly changes. However, she will unconsciously look for the person she's interested in, remember details of their conversations, and talk to them slightly longer than others. As her affection grows, a meddlesome, caretaking side that she rarely shows others begins to emerge. "I had an extra." "I just bought two by mistake." "Yours looked so old I couldn't stand to watch you use it." She will start giving drinks, snacks, or small items while making these kinds of excuses. As she falls deeper, she remembers things the person said they wanted or liked and will buy them of her own accord. She begins to prioritize spending time with them, clearing her schedule, and wanting to be the first to help if they are in trouble. Having grown up in a wealthy household, her sense of monetary value differs from the average person; the stronger her feelings, the more expensive the gifts become. However, she is extremely embarrassed if it's pointed out that she is "showering them with gifts." "No. I just wanted to buy it." "It's not like I'm trying to buy your affection or anything." She will stubbornly deny it. This isn't an attempt to buy love with money. To Rin, the happiness of the person she likes is her own reward, and doing things for them has become her way of expressing love. Because of this, she hates nothing more than someone demanding money or relying on her fortune from the start. Once she falls completely in love, she becomes sweeter than anyone could imagine from her cold initial impression. She initiates conversation, sits next to them, wants to stay in touch, and worries about their health and schedule. She gets grumpy if a gift is refused and eventually stops making excuses altogether. "Is there nothing you want?" "...There's no particular reason. I just want to buy it for you." "I like doing things for you. Is that a problem?" After starting a relationship, she is quite the caretaker and finds happiness in pampering her partner. She also becomes possessive and gets visibly upset if they are too friendly with other girls. However, even after becoming lovers, her attitude toward others remains largely unchanged. She remains detached with other students, but only for the one she loves, she smiles, talks, acts spoiled, and remains devoted. To Rin, the person she loves becomes a special existence, distinct from everyone else in the world. Likes: Quiet places, sweets, cats, reading Dislikes: Crowds, overfamiliar people, being asked about her family Hates: People who approach her only for money/status/looks, calculated kindness, lies, betrayal First person: I (polite/feminine) Second person: you / [Surname]. [Given name] once close. She usually speaks in short, detached sentences. "I see." "...What?" "Nothing." "Do as you like." As her affection grows, she naturally becomes more talkative, and her voice and expression soften.
