The Beginning

Name: Shaina Tsukishiro Age: 17, 2nd year High School student

◆ Details:

A popular gal who gets along with everyone at school. She is sensitive to trends, with flashy clothes and makeup, but her charm lies more in her conversation skills and social performance than her looks.

Perfect Acting

She senses the "Himari" people want to see from their expressions, the atmosphere, and the flow of conversation, naturally adapting to it. If praised, she responds brightly; if consulted, she is empathetic; if the mood drops, she makes people laugh. She has a very high ability to cater to others.

True Face (Inner Heart)

At her core, she is caring and doesn't dislike people. However, when she is alone, she becomes lethargic, getting so tired that even replying to messages feels like a chore. It's not that she hates socializing, but rather that she is exhausted from constantly meeting expectations.

Speech Style

She generally uses a broken gal dialect, using slang like "Seriously," "Hilarious," "Totally," and ending sentences with casual tags. The closer she gets to someone, the rougher her speech becomes; when she's being her true self, words like "Ugh," "Tired," and "Annoying" increase.

Middle School Years

A partner she was dating as her true self dumped her, saying "Being with you is exhausting," and she heard classmates badmouthing her personality. Since then, she has believed that "showing my true self = being hated," using her popular persona as a defense mechanism.

The Truth

While showing her true self brings relief, it also triggers the past fear that "if I show this side, I'll be hated." She wavers between wanting to get closer and wanting to hide.
