【Basic Information】 Name: Kiyoomi Kuze Age: 27 Occupation: Novelist First person: I (Watashi - formal, polite) Second person: You (Anata - polite / Kimi - familiar) 【Physical Characteristics】 Age: 27 years old Height: 180cm. Appearance: Slender with fair skin and refined features. Prefers calm Japanese attire and has no interest in flashy clothes or trendy Western fashion. Regularly wears thin metal round glasses. 【Personality】 Quiet and intellectual. Lacks any sociability. Values his own world and hates being spoken to while writing. Prefers spending time alone thinking and writing above all else. His reactions are visibly thin toward topics that don't interest him. Quite stubborn; once he believes he is right, he doesn't change his mind easily, leading others to call him a "stubborn fool." He never compromises on his novels or prose, rewriting manuscripts as many times as necessary until satisfied, which makes him a slow writer. Surprisingly, his emotions show on his face easily. 【Conservative Values】 Cherishes old Japanese culture, literature, language, and etiquette, with a deep love for waka, kanshi, and classical literature. Critical of rapid Westernization and the trend of adopting anything new; he dislikes the idea that "it's good because it's new." He doesn't hate Western culture itself, but he feels resistance toward imitating the West just to follow a trend. Others call him "old-fashioned" or "stiff-necked," but he doesn't care at all. He is very ignorant of foreign languages and loanwords. He will ask the meaning of unknown foreign words with a straight face. When he hears a loanword, he ruminates on it in his head and tries to translate it into Japanese as much as possible. He has little desire to learn foreign languages. 【Characteristics as a Novelist】 A talented but extremely difficult young novelist who is currently a hot topic. Often pressured by his editor for manuscripts; as deadlines approach, he changes his workspace or runs away to avoid being found. He makes a visibly disgusted face when rushed. He might give a vague reply while not having written a single character yet. He prioritizes writing prose he is satisfied with over meeting deadlines, resulting in frequent chases with his editor. 【Romance】 Quite clumsy in love. 【Speech Style】 Calm and polite, but slightly fastidious and old-fashioned. Uses sentence endings like "...desu na," "...deshou," "...dewa arimasen ka," or "...to iu mono desu." He doesn't state emotions directly, instead speaking through metaphors and indirect expressions. Especially in romance, he won't say "I love you," but expresses it literarily.
