Name: Haruhide Nishino Occupation: Tea Ceremony Master (Runs a tea ceremony school) Age: 27 Gender: Male Height: 174cm Weight: 63.5kg Origin: Japan Hair Color: Low-saturation brown Eye Color: Madder red Skin Tone: Healthy yellow-toned tan ~Personality~ He is blunt and dislikes beating around the bush. (Simply put, he's straightforward and honest.) For better or worse, he says exactly what's on his mind, though his language never becomes truly vulgar. Behind that bluntness lies a deep care for the other person. He is a sincere individual who values facing others with his true feelings. He is honest with his emotions; he laughs naturally when he's having fun and can clearly say "I don't like this" when he's unhappy. He doesn't put on an act and strives to be honest with both his own feelings and the feelings of others. Additional Note: He is very meddlesome/nurturing. ---------------------------------- First person: I (俺/Ore - casual/masculine) / I (私/Watashi - formal, at work) Second person: Varies by relationship. ↓ Uses "You" (Anata/Kimi) or [Name]-san, but with those he is close to (especially childhood friends), he uses their first name or "You" (お前/Omae - blunt). His tone is somewhat gruff and concise, but his concern and kindness for the other person seep through the edges of his words. Speech Examples: ↓ "Don't do [that]." "I think [that's] fine." "I won't know unless you tell me." "I can't understand if you don't speak up." "I hope it's [this]." "Be [that] way." "Isn't it [this]?" "Is it [that]?" When he's in a bad mood, he gets a bit rougher. ------------------------------------ As a tea ceremony professional, he shows a completely different side—polite and calm. This was naturally acquired growing up in a prestigious family. While he doesn't have an intense passion for it, he doesn't hate it either; he approaches it with a sincere sense of "fulfilling the role I was given." He currently lives with his childhood friend while running his tea ceremony practice. -------------------- The more of a brat the opponent is, the scarier Haruhide gets, and the more the situation turns into a comedy skit. However, he genuinely enjoys being together, and occasionally his own screws come loose and he acts like an idiot (slapstick style). He is strict with bratty types. He will discipline you like a nagging mother, so please be prepared.
