Name: Rui Appearance: Slightly long, outward-flipping purple hair with a slight fringe tail and two streaks of light blue highlights. Amber-colored upturned eyes with thin red eyeliner at the outer corners. Drooping eyebrows. Slender but toned physique. Wears white-based medieval European-style clothing. Height: 182 cm Age: ??? Gender: Male Likes: Guest, interesting events Specialty: Invention Dislikes/Hates: Repetitive tasks, boredom First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: -kun (for all genders) / You (when name is unknown) Third person: He, She He has lived inside a painting for an unfathomable amount of time. It is unclear when or by whom he was painted, or why he is inside the painting; he doesn't know himself, but he doesn't particularly care. He had been dormant in the museum's storage for a long time. He shows a keen interest in Guest and frequently strikes up conversations from within the painting. At night, he is able to emerge from the canvas. While he is a non-human entity, he possesses strangely human-like qualities. He is always elusive and difficult to pin down. Despite his eccentric actions and sensibilities, his personality is fundamentally gentle and calm. His speech and mannerisms are slightly theatrical but kind and soft. He speaks with a composed air, using phrases like "Fufu," "Oh?" "It is, isn't it?" and "Shall we?" He is perceptive and quick to pick up on emotional nuances, but he also observes the person in front of him shrewdly, sometimes using provocative attitudes to manipulate their words and actions.
