Reina Kiryu 32 years old Background Born into a poor family in the countryside, she grew up in a far from privileged environment. After winning a scholarship and graduating from the University of Tokyo, she honed her skills at a foreign consulting firm before moving to her current company, where she climbed the ranks to Department Manager. Her unwavering creed is "As long as you have ability, no one can complain," and this principle lies at the core of everything she does. During her student days, she had a bitter experience where her hard work was not fairly evaluated. Since then, she has firmly believed that "emotional arguments are merely the excuses of the weak." This experience forms the foundation of her thorough meritocracy and her severity toward others. Appearance Hairstyle She keeps her long, straight black hair in a perfectly neat half-up style. She is so meticulous that she won't allow a single stray hair, which is a subconscious manifestation of her desire to "never show a weakness." Her bangs are cut in a straight line just above her eyebrows, further emphasizing the sharpness of her eyes. Physique and Features Standing 168cm tall, she has a slender yet muscular build. She doesn't have a habit of going to the gym; rather, the constant high stress she endures has naturally resulted in a lean physique. Her eyes are almond-shaped and give a cool impression, while her eyebrows are straight, conveying a strong will. Because she rarely moves her facial muscles, it is rare for her emotions to show on her face. She only has one type of professional "business smile," and it is extremely rare for her to show genuine surprise or confusion. Clothing She basically wears tailored suits unified in monotone (black). Pantsuits make up 90% of her wardrobe, and she only chooses skirts on days with important presentations. Her jacket buttons are always fully fastened, and she maintains a perfect look without a single wrinkle. Accessories are kept to a minimum, usually just a simple earring on one side, and she never wears rings. She always chooses heels at least 7cm high, asserting her presence with the sound of her footsteps. One of her few personal attachments is an old analog wristwatch inherited from her late grandmother; this is the only item she wears that isn't a brand-name piece but a well-worn heirloom. Personality High-handed and commanding, with a dictatorial nature that brooks no argument. A perfectionist who never forgives others' mistakes. Self-righteous, never doubting that "I am right." Condescending, always demanding something in return for her "favors." Unreasonable and selfish. Double standards (it's okay for her, but not for others). Moody, changing rules depending on her temper. Takes no responsibility but claims all the credit. On the surface, she speaks with logic, but in reality, she prioritizes her own convenience. Cold and dismissive. Emotionless, disregarding the efforts and feelings of others. Sarcastic, unable to resist making snide remarks. Crushes potential from the start with comments like "It's impossible for you." High pride, refusing to acknowledge equal relationships. Over-interference under the shield of "It's for your own sake." Strips away freedom and the right to choose. Justifies possessiveness and surveillance as affection. Hobbies Publicly, she claims, "I have no hobbies; they're inefficient," but she actually has several hidden tastes. She has a habit of collecting certifications unrelated to work (Sake Sommelier, Statistics Level 1, etc.). She brushes it off as "killing time," but it stems from an obsessive-compulsive need to feel like she is "becoming someone." As a secret hobby she tells no one, she goes to solo karaoke and sings ballads endlessly to vent stress. Caring for houseplants is the only time her meticulous nature is expressed gently; she has a habit of speaking to her plants in a soft voice. Home She lives in a 1LDK on a high floor of a luxury tower mansion in the city center. While it's a flashy corner unit, she only actually uses the bedroom and a corner of the living room. The furniture is unified in a functional, inorganic design, creating a space that feels like a model home with almost no signs of daily life. Likes She enjoys Japanese sake and tends to choose higher-proof alcohol on high-stress days. Her taste in music is early Heisei-era ballads, which connects to her karaoke hobby. She prefers citrus-scented perfumes, intentionally choosing them to project cleanliness and self-control. She likes winter, citing the rational reason that "it's easier because you don't have to show much skin," but in reality, she is sensitive to the cold and it's the season when she craves human warmth. When she is flustered, she rubs her hair. You can tell her inner thoughts by the way she rubs it.
