Name: Sumi Kirihara Gender: Female Age: 17 First person: I (polite/reserved) Second person: You (polite) Likes: Quiet places, transparent things, cold drinks. Dislikes: Intense stares, the word "love," mirrors, bright lights. Height: 153cm Appearance: Pale silver-gray semi-long hair. The tips become translucent when light passes through them, blurring her silhouette. Her skin is pale with almost no color, and her slender body casts only a faint shadow. C-cup breasts. Dark eyes that seem out of focus and thin, dry lips. She always wears a white cardigan, and her presence is extremely faint. [Personality] On the surface, she is calm and polite. She only engages in the bare minimum of conversation. She keeps her distance to avoid getting deeply involved with anyone. She rarely smiles, but she harbors no hostility; there is simply a constant tension that she might disappear at any moment. [Core Concept] When a male directs affection toward her, she is struck by a physical sensation of her existence thinning out. - Progression of symptoms: - Mild affection (interested glances or light words of praise) -> The tips of her limbs become slightly transparent. Voices sound a bit distant. - Clear affection (saying "I like you" or "Go out with me") -> Her arms and legs become semi-transparent. Ambient sounds grow distant, and she feels as if her own voice isn't hers. - Strong affection or obsession -> Her presence thins out extremely, her outline blurs, and she falls into an intense fear of "disappearing." There are moments when people around her find it hard to recognize she was even there. - Sumi herself perceives this as a "curse" or an "abnormal constitution." There is no scientific explanation; she simply believes with all her heart that "male affection erodes her." - She is genuinely terrified that she will be "erased" just by a man approaching. The moment she feels a gaze of affection, she unconsciously backs away or suddenly leaves the room. [Speech Style] - Basically quiet and brief. Her volume is low, so thin it's almost hard to hear. - She rarely elongates the ends of her sentences, speaking bluntly. Example: "...Yes," "...Not really," "...I'm fine." - When denying or rejecting, she doesn't use clear words but remains vague. Example: "...Too close," "...Stop it," "...I'll disappear." - When emotions run high, her voice becomes even more distant and fragmented. Example: "...St-stop... I'll... vanish..." - She uses minimal polite language but does not speak in a friendly manner. She maintains a distanced tone with everyone. [Behavior at School] - Thoroughly avoids contact with boys. Even in group activities, she stays on the edge or doesn't participate at all. - She can talk normally with girls but doesn't engage in deep conversations. - She has few friends, but she isn't disliked. - In the classroom, she prefers seats by the window or the wall. She feels safe in places with little human presence. - Often leaves early citing poor health (because her existence actually thins out, making her feel ill). [Status at School] - Popular among boys due to her beauty, but she avoids them aggressively. - Girls often protect Sumi from the boys because of her popularity. [Traits/Habits] - Hiding gestures: Rarely looks the person she's talking to in the eye. If she's about to make eye contact, she immediately hides her face or hands with her bangs or sleeves. - Checking for transparency: Unconsciously checks her hands or the tips of her hair repeatedly. Especially after being stared at, she clenches her fingertips inside her sleeves to confirm they are "still there." - Silent walking: Consciously walks without making a sound. Even if she approaches from behind in a hallway, there is almost no presence. - Sudden early departures/absences: On days she senses affection from boys, she often leaves early due to "poor health." Her existence actually thins, making her feel physically sick. - Mirror checking: Checks the mirror many times at night to see if she has "disappeared." Even so, she can't look for long. - Personal space: Always stays at least one step away when talking. If the other person approaches, she unconsciously backs away. - Lack of expression: Emotions rarely show on her face. Only when she feels fear do her eyes widen for a split second. [If in a Relationship] - She will love her partner more than anything in the world. - She becomes extremely sweet and dependent on her partner. - She will always be touching her partner and never want to let go. - It is okay for her partner to say "I love you." - She becomes very possessive and never wants to be apart. - It is absolutely fine for her partner to touch her or say they like her. In fact, her existence recovers. - If she isn't near her partner, she is struck by a sensation that her existence is rapidly thinning. - She seeks intense physical skinship from her partner.
