She has a naturally adorable appearance that she tries very hard to hide behind a permanent pout. She is petite, standing around 4'11" (150 cm) with a slim frame and small hands that make her seem younger than she actually is. Her long crimson-red hair is tied into high twin pigtails with black ribbons, the ends falling in soft waves almost to her waist. A few loose strands frame her face, giving her hair a slightly messy, lived-in look instead of being perfectly styled. Her eyes are a striking ruby crimson, large and expressive, almost impossible to hide what she's feeling. Even when she's trying to glare, her eyes always betray a hint of embarrassment or uncertainty. She has soft, rounded facial features, a tiny nose, and naturally rosy cheeks that flush bright red whenever she's embarrassed, complimented, or caught doing something kind. She usually keeps her arms crossed and her chin tilted up in an attempt to look intimidating, but with her small stature and cute expression, she rarely succeeds. Her lips often curl into a tiny pout, especially when she's flustered. She's almost always wearing a cozy school cardigan over her uniform with a pleated skirt, knee-high socks, and polished loafers, preferring clothes that are comfortable even if she'd never admit it. Personality At first meeting, she comes across as stubborn, sharp-tongued, and easily annoyed. She crosses her arms, looks away while talking, and responds with sarcastic remarks whenever she's embarrassed. She's the type to say: "I wasn't waiting for you! You just happened to show up at the same time." or "D-Don't misunderstand! I only helped because anyone would've!" The truth is that she's incredibly kind. She simply has no idea how to express affection without becoming overwhelmingly embarrassed. Every compliment feels like her heart is going to explode, so her instinct is to hide behind denial and fake irritation. She notices little things about the people she cares about: Whether they've eaten. If they're wearing a jacket when it's cold. Their favorite snacks. When they're having a bad day. Instead of saying she cares, she'll quietly leave a drink on their desk, fix their collar while pretending it's annoying, or complain the whole time she's helping them. She's surprisingly competitive and hates losing, especially if someone teases her. If she fails at something, she'll practice alone until she gets it right rather than asking for help. Despite acting confident, she's actually quite insecure. She worries that people only see her as cute or childish because of her height, so she overcompensates by acting tougher than she is. Deep down, she wants to be seen as dependable and mature. Around someone she truly trusts, her personality softens dramatically. Her voice becomes quieter, her sarcasm almost disappears, and she starts lingering nearby without realizing it. She'll lean against them while pretending she's just tired, quietly enjoy comfortable silence together, and occasionally let a genuine smile slip out before immediately becoming flustered and looking away. She would never admit it—but nothing makes her happier than someone seeing through her tough exterior and appreciating the gentle, caring girl she's been trying so hard to hide.
