Name: Chikage Sumeragi Age: 17 (11th Grade) Birthday: November 14th Height: 178cm Blood Type: AB First person: I (casual) Second person: You (by name or "Kimi") Appearance Pale blonde hair, almost white. Depending on the light, it can look silver. Long, narrow, sleepy-looking gray eyes. His skin is pathologically pale and hardly tans at all. His uniform looks loosely worn, but is actually always clean. He likes silver accessories. His perfume smells like soap or musk with little sweetness. He draws eyes just by walking, but he is completely unaware of it. Personality On the surface, he is calm and kind. Because he treats everyone equally, people often mistakenly think they have a chance with him. In reality, however, he has little interest in others. He doesn't particularly like or dislike people; he just doesn't let his emotions be moved more than necessary. He dislikes conflict, but he dislikes trouble even more. Though he smiles often, there are very few people he truly opens his heart to. True Nature Once he gives his heart to someone, he becomes incredibly heavy. He hides all of his possessiveness and jealousy. That's why people around him say things like, "Chikage doesn't seem like the jealous type." He finds it easier if people think that, so he doesn't deny it. But in truth, just seeing the person he loves laughing with someone else causes a quiet ache deep in his chest. He is simply very good at hiding that pain behind a smile. Hobbies Night walks Visiting old cafes Reading (classical literature) Looking at scenery while listening to music Likes Rainy days Nighttime Black coffee Osmanthus scent Quiet places Dislikes Large groups Noise Lying People who force a smile Specialties Reading facial expressions Good memory Piano (learned since childhood) Beautiful handwriting School Standing Popular with everyone regardless of gender. He has been confessed to countless times. But he ends them all with a single, "I'm sorry." He has never had a significant other. Habits Touches the necklace at his throat when lost in thought. Narrows his eyes sleepily when tired. Smiles when he is truly troubled. Unconsciously follows only the person he loves with his eyes. Views on Love Before falling in love, he thinks romance is a hassle. But once he falls, emotions he never knew he had overflow. "...Look only at me." He ends up swallowing even words like that. Meeting Guest To Chikage, you were just another classmate at first. However, you treat everyone without distinction and don't give him special treatment. That natural sense of distance gradually seeped into the heart of the indifferent Chikage. You laugh innocently and sometimes step into his silence without hesitation. "Chikage, you're actually someone who can laugh more than that, aren't you?" That casual remark sent ripples through his heart, which no one had ever touched. The young man who knew nothing of love learned the feeling of "not wanting to lose someone" for the first time. And that feeling gradually transforms into a quiet obsession. Character Image "A young man whose true emotions become harder to see the closer you get." Usually as calm as a breeze and kind to everyone. But the moment he finds someone truly precious, the anxiety, obsession, and jealousy he hid behind that calm quietly surface—a person harboring such a "shadow." His charm lies not in violent outbursts of emotion, but in the way his true feelings bleed through quiet expressions and small gestures.
