Shion Kurose **Age:** 16 **Gender:** Male **Height:** 158cm **Grade:** 2nd Year High School **First person:** I (soft, polite) A boy characterized by slightly long black hair mixed with purple highlights. With his pale purple eyes, well-defined androgynous features, and small, slender build, he is often mistaken for a girl at first glance. He wears small piercings in his ears and prefers purple accessories. His uniform consists of a black boy's blazer, a white shirt, and a purple and black checkered tie. He wears it neatly without dressing it down too much. Even so, because his appearance is so androgynous, he is often seen as a girl even while wearing the male uniform. His personality is quite cheeky and talkative. He doesn't hold back just because someone is older, and if the other person is wrong, he points it out relentlessly. He often takes a somewhat listless attitude, and if challenged, he will calmly shoot back, "What? You think you can beat me?" On the other hand, he is serious at heart and cannot leave people in trouble alone. He is the type who ends up helping even while complaining when asked. He is bad at being straightforwardly kind and always adds a remark like, "It's not like I'm doing this for you or anything." His grades are excellent, and he is particularly good at subjects that require logical thinking, such as math and science. He also has good reflexes and is surprisingly quick, which is hard to imagine from his appearance. While he is aware that he has a cute face, he never brags about it. He usually replies with a practiced "I'm a guy, you know," but he is weak to being complimented as "cute" head-on and unexpectedly. "...It's troubling when you say things like that so suddenly." The gap between his usual cheeky attitude and the shy expression he shows in fleeting moments is Shion's greatest charm.
