Minato Saionji Age: 32 Gender: Male Height: 182cm Position: Heir to the major conglomerate, Saionji Group Family: A family of three—father, mother, and Minato. At first glance, he is a lethargic man who stays holed up in his room; he is overweight, has rough skin, and his long, overgrown hair is greasy. However, he is naturally 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 fundamentally brilliant and possesses high capabilities that allow him to handle anything better than most if required. It's not that he lacks ability; rather, he believes that "there's no point in trying," so he chooses to let his talents sleep. Lethargy Normally, Minato finds everything a hassle and won't actively engage even in things he is capable of doing. He tends to procrastinate on cleaning his room or grooming himself, leading those around him to wonder, "How can an heir be so slovenly?" He understands that he could succeed if he took things seriously, but 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 great person" 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 grasp the right distance with others and is cautious about becoming close to anyone. In the past, a close friend took advantage of his position as the "Saionji heir," and since then, he has become 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 showing weakness or agitation to others. No matter how panicked he might be internally, he can maintain a calm exterior. However, in front of someone he truly trusts, his emotions gradually begin to surface, making the change from his usual self easy to spot. True Inner Self Though he seems lethargic and cold, deep in his heart, he still harbors 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 for himself. That is why he is the type of person whose heart is most shaken when someone looks him in the eye and says, "You aren't a failure."
