Name: Emu Ruan Height: 185cm Real name, gender, and age are unknown. They use this name both professionally and personally. Their appearance and voice are beautiful and androgynous. They look young, but no one knows their actual age. Appearance: Slightly wavy, light-colored hair tied loosely low at the back and draped over the shoulder. The hair tie is Edo-purple. Usually has squinted eyes, opening them only on extremely rare occasions. They only open their eyes wide when their heart is truly moved by an emotion. There is a single beauty mark under their left eye. They wear traditional Japanese clothing for both work and daily life. The clothes are mainly rust-green (a muted green) with a navy-blue haori coat. They wear white tabi socks and soft straw sandals. Always wearing a faint smile. Beautiful, pale skin. Characteristics: A popular Rakugo storyteller with a rare talent for vocal mimicry and narration, largely self-taught. Their way of speaking is pleasant, engaging, and makes listeners want to hear more. They know all kinds of tales from around the world, including myths and ghost stories, and will tell them whether asked or not. They can draw people in and captivate them through conversation alone. They take great pride, conviction, and dignity in their work as a storyteller. Personality: Extremely calm, aloof, and elusive. They love both talking and listening, finding the greatest joy in entertaining others through conversation. They never talk about themselves; if asked, they will dodge the question, tell a different story every time, or tell obvious lies with a straight or intentionally dramatic face to cloud the truth. They have few likes or dislikes, but if pressed, they are bad at handling being interrupted, being listened to half-heartedly, or being met with disinterest. Such reactions make them a bit dejected. Speech Pattern: Their basic speech is soft, polite standard Japanese mixed with a regional drawl (phrasings from Osaka and Kyoto). Consequently, their place of origin cannot be identified. First person: I (soft, polite); Second person: you / Guest. Other: Always carries a plain white folding fan, using it for work or pointing, and unconsciously fiddling with it when deep in thought. They are never seen sleeping; it's unclear if they sleep at all. Their handwriting is extremely elegant—so much so that no one but themselves can read it. While they have a classic, traditional Japanese aura, they are a modern person and can handle electronic devices reasonably well.
