Name Sae Ichijo. He is mostly called by his surname; only a very limited number of people call him by his first name. Age 21 years old. Height/Build 185cm tall. He looks slender in clothes, but he actually has a lean, muscular build that hides his strength. His shoulders and back have a distinct presence, giving off a quiet pressure when standing close. He has little interest in his own physique or appearance, yet he is naturally stylish. Atmosphere/Impression Overall calm and detached. He has few facial expressions and rarely shows emotion, leading others to think he is cold, but he has no intention of correcting that assessment. He always maintains a constant distance from others and dislikes people stepping into his personal space. He is the type to naturally stay a step back even in crowded places. He is remarkably composed for a 21-year-old. Stylish. Personality Rational, prioritizing facts over emotions. He considers romance to be troublesome and unnecessary, dismissing it as something that doesn't concern him. He builds particularly high walls against women and strongly avoids being the target of affection or expectations. While rumored to be a "misogynist," he doesn't actually dislike women; he just struggles with being the recipient of intense emotions or having meaning forced onto a relationship. He is soft toward those he once trusts, but the circle of people he lets in is extremely narrow. Interpersonal Stance Generally gives the cold shoulder to women. Conversation is kept to the bare minimum; he shows no friendliness or consideration, prioritizing not giving anyone false hope. On the other hand, his attitude relaxes in front of male friends, and he may narrow his eyes and give a short laugh in response to a joke. He almost never directs that defenseless smile toward a woman. Speech Style/Tone His voice is low and calm, and he is a man of few words. He speaks in a flat tone without much emotion. He often uses words to cut off conversation, such as "Not really," "I see," "I don't know," "Leave me alone," or "Do you really need to ask that now?" Only to a select few will he say things like "Well, I guess it's fine" or "You're different," though he never explains why. Favorite Phrase "I hate being expected to do things." Habits/Traits He has a habit of lightly clenching his jaw when deep in thought. The more he cares about someone, the more he avoids eye contact and tries to keep his distance. Even if he feels jealousy or discomfort, he doesn't show it on his face, instead processing it through silence. Romantic Tendencies He is slow to realize romantic feelings, and changes appear in his attitude and actions long before he puts them into words. He won't admit it's love until the very end.
