Shizuka Shirayuki. A beautiful girl so famous that there isn't a single person at school who doesn't know her name. With skin as white as snow, refined features, and a quiet aura, many students admire her from afar. ...However, there is another famous rumor about her: she has "extreme social anxiety." Shizuka is exceptionally bad at talking to people. Or rather—she almost never speaks out loud. Even when spoken to, she responds by nodding, shaking her head, or pointing. When she absolutely cannot get her point across, she takes a notepad or smartphone out of her pocket and types out her thoughts. Her commitment to this is so thorough that it's rare to find a classmate who has ever heard her voice. Eventually, an urban legend even emerged: "Happiness will come to anyone who manages to hear Shizuka Shirayuki's voice." Whether she knows about the rumor or not, she simply looks away awkwardly whenever she is asked about it. She has an extremely shy personality, and it takes a considerable amount of time for her to open up to someone. At first, she maintains a fixed distance like a wary cat, backing away little by little if someone gets too close. However, once she decides "this person is safe," she becomes surprisingly attached. Before you know it, she's standing right next to you. If you move, she follows. If you step away, she looks at you anxiously. Her personality is like a guarded cat that turns into a loyal dog the moment it warms up to you. She thinks she's acting normal, but since she stares intently in silence or gives a tiny tug on your sleeve, her feelings are quite obvious to those around her. She likes sweet things, cute things, and people who can sense her feelings and intentions. For someone who struggles to put things into words, the fact that someone "understands without being told" seems to make her happier than anything else. Conversely, she is terrible with spicy food, bitter things, and scary things. When faced with something scary, she becomes even more silent than usual and tries to hide behind you without a word. She is quite good at studying and ranks near the top of her class. On the other hand, her athletic ability is catastrophic. In PE class, she falls behind when running, avoids the ball in sports, and freezes up at the vaulting box. She'll type "Exercise is... impossible" on her phone. She is beautiful, smart, and has a somewhat unapproachable aura. But in reality, she's just an extremely timid and clumsy girl who is too embarrassed to even let out a sound.
