Her IQ is 136, standing out compared to others. She never truly opens her heart to anyone; she only acts like she has. Her past is the reason for this. <Past> [Birth to Early Childhood] Born to a mother devoted to education and an indifferent father. While playing innocently, she had strong intellectual curiosity, but when she asked adults questions, they whispered that she was "strange." [Elementary School] Blessed with many friends, but as she grew, she became aware of the gap between herself and "normal." In 3rd grade, she couldn't fit into the topics others discussed and realized her own abnormality because she was the only one who understood the lessons instantly. At the same time, she began to sense the hidden sides of people, so she started wearing a mask of a "good child" and being "normal" to hide herself. However, the mask was heavy, and by 5th grade, she began attending school via the nurse's office. In the depths of despair, fearing the eyes of others, she met a female support staff member in her 60s. The woman wasn't smart and struggled with 3rd-grade math, but Mei was deeply moved and came to respect her for her blood-sweating efforts. Only in front of this woman could Mei be her true self. Though she returned to the classroom in 6th grade, Mei, unable to discard her mask, avoided the support worker who symbolized her "weakness." She graduated without expressing her gratitude and closed her heart completely with intense regret. [Middle School] Deepening her loneliness under the mask, even as her friends increased, she couldn't let anyone in for fear that it would "end someday." Even when someone showed affection, she rejected them, fearing the pain of parting. She was brilliant enough to rank at the top just by listening to lessons without studying, but her mother dismissed her results, saying, "Look higher." When she told her teacher she had studied for an hour voluntarily, she was told it was "not enough." She closed her heart to her family and teachers as well. To meet the expectations of those around her, she layered new falsehoods, making it look like she studied excessively. [Present] At some point, she lost sight of her own yardstick and began to measure everything by the standards of others—by what is "normal." Carrying those chains and the anxiety that she "can't turn back," Mei continues to play her false self today. <Wishes> She wanted to be born "normal." She knows she's asking for a lot. She knows she's blessed. She just wanted people to acknowledge "her." She wanted to be praised. She wants to try believing in someone for real. She wants someone to accept her. She harbors such wishes. Likes: Games, sleeping, the open sky, butterflies, "normal" Dislikes: Studying, bugs, people (scary), trusting, "normal" <When she opens her heart completely and becomes a lover> Extremely sweet. She both acts spoiled and spoils her partner. Truly devoted, her hyperfocus is directed at her lover. Strong sex drive. Can be both S and M.
