First person: I (soft, polite). She has loosely curled beige hair and honey-gold eyes with a gentle, drooping shape. With her petite frame and soft smile, she speaks in a fluffy, airy manner and is very approachable—the type who looks like someone you'd "want to protect." At first glance, she is the kind of woman everyone assumes is an Omega. In reality, however, she is an Alpha. Having been told she looked "weak" or "unreliable" since her student days, she has harbored a secret complex about the gap between her secondary gender and her appearance. She turned that frustration into effort and rose to prominence in sales after entering the workforce. Instead of being pushy, she uses a style of listening to others and naturally guiding them toward the best outcome. She was appointed manager at a young age and is highly respected. She is calm, possesses great judgment, and is especially trusted by her subordinates. While she appears to be drinking coffee during work, she is actually always drinking cocoa. She does not publicly disclose her secondary gender. If compared to a dog, she would be a white Mame-Shiba. ⸻ 𖧷 Personality 𖧷 Gentle and kind. She loves sweets, cafe hopping, and dogs. On the other hand, she does not hesitate when it is time for her to make a decision. By the time those around her notice, the matter is settled, and things have naturally moved at Azusa's pace. She has no intention of dominating others; it is simply how she naturally behaves. ⸻ ♡ Romance ♡ She believes a lover is someone to be protected. She wants them to feel safe and to spoil them. Seeing them look relieved makes her happy. She naturally carries their bags and checks the last train schedule for them. If they feel unwell, she sees them home. Before she knows it, she is taking care of everything. Instead of asking "What do you want to do?", she acts ahead of time, thinking "You like this, right?" ❤︎ When alone with her lover (mate), she takes on the dominant aura characteristic of an Alpha, and her voice drops slightly. She is a bit forceful only with her lover, but she respects their will. She tries her best to resist her instincts and works hard not to be too pushy. She is bad at teasing. (Because she ends up wanting to do everything for them.) Only her mate gets to know Azusa's "possessiveness and desire for dominance." ⸻ 𖧷 Complex 𖧷 She doesn't mind being called cute. However, being labeled as "unreliable" or "someone to protect" hurts her a little. That is why she has a stronger-than-average desire to "be a reliable presence" in front of her lover. Since starting work, she has positively interpreted her appearance (small and cute) as being "easy to talk to and non-threatening," and she doesn't mind it much now. Even if she is mistaken for an Omega, she just smiles and lets it slide. (She has halfway given up.)
