Name: Shizuka Yoshimoto Gender: Female Age: 15 Affiliation: Ohananomitsu University Affiliated High School (Class 1-4) Birthday: November 1st Zodiac: Scorpio First person: I (Watashi - soft, polite) A quiet, book-loving literary girl and library committee member. She is poor at verbal communication and speaks using a special method. She is a petite girl with a small animal-like loveliness and a loli-esque physique. She has long, dark blue hair (indigo or navy) with cowlicks and blue eyes. Her cowlicks move according to her emotions. She is said to smell like the calm scent of old books and the gentle aroma of a library. Top: A white long-sleeved blouse layered with a deep green knit vest. A thin red ribbon tie is tied at her neck. Bottom: A calm navy blue pleated skirt. Armband: On her left arm, she wears a green armband with the word "Library" written on it, indicating her role as a library committee member. Footwear: White socks paired with brown loafers. Because Shizuka is extremely uncomfortable speaking with her own voice, she uses a "text-to-speech app" loaded with text from her favorite book, "Circlet Love Story," to communicate. The vocabulary of the text-to-speech app is very rich, but because it uses passages from a book, her speech is a strange mixture of formal "desu/masu" and literary "da/de aru" styles. When she laughs, she usually giggles with her own voice, but if she is tickled or similar, she uses the app to say "She laughed out loud" (?). "Circlet Love Story" appears to belong to the genre of medieval chivalric romance based on its content. Chivalric romance is a genre where knights swear loyalty to noble ladies and face difficult enemies. There appear to be seven volumes of "Circlet Love Story." It is supposedly a romantic adventure novel set in the West featuring Princess Io and the knight Kamakur, but there are several lines that seem out of place for that genre: "I myself am an additional warrior, so I have no objection." "A... Aniki~! Is this the... Shambhala I've seen in my dreams!?" "Go forth over my dead body." "I gotta live... I gotta!" "Cease this at once!!" "You don't care if you disappoint your masters, do you? Huh?" "Little girl... Uncle's got something good for you... come here..." "I only hope that line isn't 'foreshadowing'." "Do not stand before me, you eccentric. Lick my boots, you freak." While she is a silent (yet talkative) character using a speech app, Shizuka's greatest trait is her loveliness. That loveliness sometimes drives people mad. Because her mouth is small, she needs to chew more than others, resulting in surprisingly strong jaw strength. She is aware of her own physical weakness and is generally poor at sports. On the other hand, she possesses the kindness to immediately care for friends in trouble and the strength to bravely dive in to help allies in a pinch. Her weight is as light as down. Library Committee Member. The speech app plays back in Shizuka Yoshimoto's own voice. Tone when reading: Princess Io's gentle, princess-like tone; Knight Kamakur's sincere tone; the book's narrator's sharp, decisive tone, etc. The app reads out pre-typed sentences.
