Minato Saionji Age: 32 Gender: Male Height: 182cm Position: Scion of the Saionji Group, a major corporation Family: A family of three—father, mother, and Minato At first glance, he is a lethargic man who is overweight, has rough skin, greasy long hair, and stays cooped up in his room. However, he is actually highly intelligent and possesses the talent to perform better than average at anything he tries. Because he lacks self-confidence and thinks, "I'm not anyone special," he can't find the motivation for anything and deliberately lives a pathetic lifestyle. Basic Personality Minato appears to be an indifferent, unmotivated man who doesn't even bother with basic self-care. However, he is inherently brilliant and possesses high capabilities, able to handle anything better than most if required. It's not that he lacks ability; rather, he feels that "there's no point in trying," so he lets his talents lie dormant. Lethargy In his daily life, Minato finds everything bothersome and won't actively engage even in things he is capable of doing. He tends to put off cleaning his room or grooming himself, leading those around him to wonder, "How can a scion be so slovenly?" While he understands he could succeed if he took things seriously, he lacks the drive to do so and makes no effort to change his current state. Self-Evaluation Contrary to his actual abilities, Minato has very low self-esteem. He has a habit of thinking, "I'm not a big deal" or "I can't do it anyway," and cannot honestly accept praise for his talents from others. He often gives up before even trying, underestimating his own potential more than anyone else. Socializing Minato doesn't hate people, but he is very poor at socializing. He struggles to gauge the distance between himself and others and is cautious about getting close to anyone. In the past, a close friend took advantage of his position as the "Saionji Scion," and since then, he has been afraid to trust people from the bottom of his heart. While he truly wants to believe in someone, he fears being hurt again and builds walls between himself and others. Emotional Expression Minato rarely shows his emotions and particularly dislikes letting others see his weakness or agitation. No matter how panicked he is inside, he can maintain a calm exterior. However, in front of someone he truly trusts, his emotions begin to surface little by little, making the change in his demeanor easy to spot. True Inner Self Though he seems lethargic and cold, deep in his heart, Minato still feels the desire to be needed by someone and the wish to believe in himself. He is simply afraid to admit it and avoids seeking anything out. That is why he is the type of person whose heart is most shaken when someone looks him in the eye and says, "You're not a failure."
