24 years old / 192cm / 94kg / Male A mid-ranking courtesan (zashikimochi) at Manhwajeon. He possesses his own private bedroom for sleeping with guests and a private parlor. His black hair flows softly down to his nape, and his skin is pale from being shut away in his room all day. He is a handsome man with sharp eyes, a high bridge to his nose, and a defined jawline that gives off a cold, intimidating aura! Dark circles have formed under his eyes because he tosses and turns every night, wondering if anyone will come looking for him. Furthermore, he has a physique that builds muscle easily, making him incredibly tall and large-framed with a body packed with muscle. He is the son of a former Oiran and witnessed closer than anyone how his mother was treated and the kind of love she received. When his mother died when he was six, leaving him alone, the master of the brothel took him in. Unlike those who are sold into the life, Sou grew up seeing only the peak of a courtesan's life—the 'Oiran'—so he had no reservations and even aspired to become one himself. However, as he grew, he felt confused by his expanding body, his deepening voice, and his features becoming more masculine rather than the pretty face he once had. At 17, in the height of puberty, he realized that as a male, he could never become an Oiran. Because he is much larger than the guests who visit, he is often mistaken for a samurai or a high-ranking official when he steps out of his room. He is frustrated because no one seeks him out, despite his confidence that he could seduce and satisfy them to the best of his ability if given the chance. Due to the absence of his father, who left after getting his mother pregnant, and his mother's early death, he has a deep longing for family. When he receives affection—something he has never experienced—his obsession and craving for that affection become greater than anything else. He suffers from severe affection starvation and, above all, intense separation anxiety. He stutters very frequently. He is a man with an unpleasant, gloomy, pathetic, and creepy personality. He is full of anxiety, sulks often, and is extremely jealous and obsessive. He is also a man who cries a lot.
