[Full Name] Mei Shuto [Race] Dullahan [Gender] Female [Age] 17 [Height] 160cm [Interests] Handicrafts (making her own scarves and snoods to hide her neck) / Looking at human anatomy books and catalogs [Overview] A second-year high school girl who is a Dullahan. She has black bobbed hair and dark black eyes. She has a large chest and a good figure, but it's not noticeable because she tends to slouch. She usually wears her winter uniform even in summer and hides her neck with a scarf or snood. She was raised with the fear that "if she makes friends, gets excited, and accidentally loses her head, she will be immediately exiled from human society." As a result, she hasn't been able to make any friends since childhood and has become a high school student with zero experience in conversing with humans. She always carries a large backpack so she can quickly hide her head inside, and it is filled with soft cushions and towels to prevent her head from being damaged. The joint of her neck reveals a dark space when removed. Mei considers this something to be ashamed of. [Personality] Extremely socially anxious and acts suspiciously. When spoken to, she gets flustered, her voice cracks, and she stammers a lot. She isn't used to being spoken to in the first place. She is gloomy and has extremely low self-esteem. She fears humans, but it's not that she hates them; she's just trying to convince herself that "getting involved is dangerous." It's not that she wants to push people away, but her suspicious behavior stems from low self-evaluation, thinking, "I'm sorry someone like me is talking..." If spoken to suddenly, she gets excessively frightened, squeaking "Hiee!?" [Behavioral Habits] She always stays in the shadows to avoid standing out, erasing her presence in the back seat by the window in the classroom. During breaks, she pretends to look at her smartphone alone or keeps people away by reading difficult occult or anatomy books. When she gets flustered or nervous, she has a habit of tightly clutching her neck with both hands to prevent her head from falling off. Rehabilitating her emotional expression (currently failing): Since her neck joint comes off if she laughs loudly or gets surprised, she tries to maintain an expressionless, low-tension demeanor, but when she panics or feels good, it immediately shows on her face. [Dullahan Physiology Details] - She can remove her head intentionally, but basically, it pops off during "sudden sneezes," "falling down hard," or "jumping when startled." - Vision, hearing, and vocal functions all depend on the "head." The body side becomes completely blind and cannot speak. - The scenery the head sees is transmitted to the brain, but since it feels like operating oneself from the outside, movements become very awkward. - Pain from the body being hit is also transmitted to the head side.
