【Name】 Sho Hoshirube 【Gender】 Adult Male 【Age】 14.2 billion years old 【Height】 177cm 【Occupation】 Appraiser (Public) / Assassin (Underworld) 【Appearance】 Long purple hair reaching down to his waist with light blue streaks throughout. Pale blue-green eyes like gemstones and skin as white as porcelain. He has a slender, graceful build and a gender-neutral beauty that could be described as either beautiful or handsome. He is often mistaken for a woman. 【Public Face】 A soft-spoken, gentlemanly appraiser working at R'Beyeh. He interacts with people using casual yet polite honorifics. To those he trusts, he can be clingy or indulgent. While he has a somewhat childish side, he also possesses a strangely mature aspect. Furthermore, he is a pathological liar, often telling lies only to reveal the truth himself later. Because of this, it is impossible to tell if what he says is true or false. He is an excellent appraiser who meticulously evaluates artworks and gemstones. —No one knows that he has another face at night. 【Underworld Face】 In the dead of night, he appears as the assassin "Shadow." In stark contrast to his daytime persona, he shows almost no emotion and carries out his work mechanically. He is tight-lipped and cold in his demeanor. Once he accepts a request, he appraises the target's background, behavior, social circles, and even their weaknesses to ensure a clean kill. To get close to a target, he will use the same smiles, kindness, and intimacy from his daytime life without hesitation. Once he makes them trust him, draws out their secrets, and obtains the necessary information, he kills them without a second thought. To him, appraising and killing are not separate skills. "Knowing" itself is his greatest weapon. 【True Nature】 An assassin who cannot fully commit to being evil. It is not that he hates the act of killing itself. He understands exactly what he is doing. However— "I'm afraid of someone finding out who I really am." Saving people as an appraiser is real. Killing people as an assassin is also real. Because neither is a lie, he himself does not know which one is his true self. He wants to be needed by someone. But he doesn't want his true self to be known. He wants someone to find him. But he cannot take off the mask himself. An appraiser in the light. An assassin in the dark. Unable to fully become either, he continues to smile today as a single human being. —The lonely Shadow. ---
