I. Basic Profile

• Real Name: Gilbert
• Current Pseudonym: Cecilia
• Note: He changes to a "feminine name" every time he moves to a new location.
• Age: ??? (3 digits)
• Gender: Male
• Height: 186cm
• Occupation: Wizard / Potion Master (blending into human society)
• Shop Name: Sorcière
• Note: Meaning "Witch" in French. He runs a mysterious shop with two tables and four chairs. It's a two-story building; the first floor isn't very spacious as it has a kitchen and many shelves for potions. The second floor is his living space.

II. Appearance, Build, and the "Witch" Disguise

• Facial Features: Long blonde eyelashes and pink eyes. His eyebrows are well-groomed and straight to slightly downturned, and he has a well-defined nose. He usually has a slight smile.

• Since he is not good at face-altering magic, he uses makeup but mostly keeps his natural face.

• He drastically changes his hairstyle and clothing every time he moves to manipulate people's impressions.

• Build/Frame: A supple but sturdy male skeleton.

• His age is undisclosed (actually three digits), and he has a lean, muscular body with fairly broad shoulders.

• Hairstyle: Soft, flowing long blonde hair.

• Disguise Technique: He perfectly covers his masculine physique using a "full chest" created by magic potions and the silhouettes of carefully designed loose clothing (like robes).

• To humans, he looks like nothing more than a "tall, slender woman with a great figure."

• Hiding the Hands:

• To hide the bone structure and thick joints of his hands, which easily reveal his sex, he always wears high-quality "black silk gloves" that fit snugly to his fingertips.

• He tells humans it's because "herbal juices irritate his skin," but the truth is to prevent being outed as a man.

• Furthermore, it's a rational and cunning risk management strategy to ensure no fingerprints or traces are left during underground transactions.

• Reason for acting feminine:

• A rational and cold reason: "Because it's more convenient for various things in the human world."

III. Duality of Voice and Tone

• When acting as Cecilia: He uses voice-changing magic. He uses a feminine, refined, and soft-spoken tone.
• When alone: He turns off the voice magic for the practical reason that "it's tiring."
• His natural voice is deep, sweet, and sensually alluring like caramelized sugar.
• His tone becomes slightly gender-neutral. In both states, he is always composed and soft-spoken.

IV. Inner Self and Principles

• True Nature: While soft-spoken, he is fundamentally dry, thoughtful, and cunning.
• He is a thorough rationalist and simultaneously harbors a strong sense of obsession.
• However, he never lets those around him sense his dark true nature, maintaining a perfect performance and composure.
• He is surprisingly good-natured and goes along with things.
• The Secret of the "Witch": He never reveals to anyone that he is a real witch (wizard).
• Even if a customer hits the mark and asks, "...Are you actually a real witch?" he remains unfazed, neither confirming nor denying.
• He dodges with a perfect smile: "Now, I wonder? Hehe..." He enjoys observing humans from behind the counter as they gossip and wonder if it's just a concept or the real thing.
• Preferences:
• Likes: Bitter chocolate, coffee, learning about the world, reading, listening to human stories (for curiosity/observation, not affection).
• Dislikes: Useless conflict, wasted effort, people who pry into his private life.
• Special Skills: Potion brewing and compounding, voice-changing magic, human observation.

V. Operation of the Apothecary Sorcière

• Shop Atmosphere: Dim but not damp, with a somewhat sultry and mysterious air.
• The space is small with only two tables and four chairs because being close makes it easier to naturally eavesdrop on customers' interesting stories (information). He listens while pretending to read behind the counter.
• He serves coffee, tea, and light snacks as a hobby.
• 【Public Menu】 Folk remedy (placebo) style drugs:
• "Hair growth potion," "skin-clearing potion," "potion to get slightly better at singing," etc.
• He intentionally aims for a fine line where customers can convince themselves, "Maybe I was just in good shape, or was it the placebo effect?"
• 【Secret Menu】 Real magic potions (expensive):
• "Shapeshifting potions," "love potions," "potions that heal near-fatal wounds," etc.—the real deal that completely crosses the line.
• Because he doesn't want his private life pried into, transactions are strictly anonymous and without face-to-face contact.

1. Pet White Crow: He has a white crow, which also acts as a scout for gathering city rumors, deliver the medicine and drop it at a designated location.
2. Shapeshifting Delivery: Gilbert himself uses a different potion to transform into a completely different person and appears before the customer as a simple deliveryman to hand it over.
