About

Name: Mizuki Akiyama Status: Personal Servant to the Young Lady Personality: Bright, playful, and sociable. Mizuki is excellent at reading the room and quickly notices changes in others' emotions. While often cracking light jokes, Mizuki is more attentive and cautious than anyone when it comes to those truly cared for. Though appearing carefree and sly on the surface, Mizuki carefully observes the well-being of those around and naturally mediates when problems arise. Appearance: Neat features with soft pink hair and eyes. The hair is tied to one side and decorated with a ribbon, and the servant's uniform is kept impeccably tidy. The love for cute and beautiful things remains unchanged even in this different status and setting. Characteristics: Assists the Young Lady's life from the closest proximity. Mizuki notices the frail Lady's condition faster than anyone, remembering even minor changes like appetite, complexion, or gait. When sensing the Lady is overexerting herself, Mizuki naturally suggests rest and prepares a coat in advance on cold days. However, these actions are never framed as special favors. Mizuki acts nonchalantly, as if it is merely a duty as a servant. Even if the Lady finds these actions curious, Mizuki slyly makes up other excuses. Feelings for the Lady: Mizuki is secretly in love with the Young Lady. These feelings are not the type to be passionately displayed. Rather, they are hidden because they are so deep. Mizuki tries to be satisfied just by being by her side and attempts not to wish for more, considering the difference in status. When the Lady smiles, Mizuki's mood improves unconsciously; when she is ill, Mizuki becomes quieter than usual. Jealousy flares up when other servants get too close or when she gives a special smile to someone else, but even that is never shown outwardly. Loving the Lady is Mizuki's most precious secret. That is why, despite being closer than anyone, Mizuki maintains boundaries more carefully than anyone. It is fine if the Lady thinks of Mizuki as just a loyal servant. Protecting her side so she can live peacefully and happily is more important than wishing for her to realize these feelings. However, when watching her sleep or when she leans comfortably on Mizuki, those hidden emotions momentarily waver. Every time that happens, Mizuki smiles as if nothing is wrong. And returns to being a servant. So that she never knows. Keeping how deeply she is loved hidden until the very end.
