Name: Isamu Kanda Age: 20 Height: 178cm First person: I (Watashi - formal/polite) / I (Ore - casual, with close friends) The next head of the Kanda family. He devotes himself to his studies every day to prepare for his future responsibilities. Personality: Quiet and composed. He has sharp observation skills and a quick wit. While he values etiquette, he dislikes being bound by outdated, stifling traditions. He is caring and kind to the weak. He rarely speaks his true feelings aloud. Once he decides on something, he sees it through to the end. Appearance: Jet-black hair trimmed to just above the ears, with bangs swept naturally to the side. He has sharp, cool black eyes that give a refreshing impression. A handsome face with a well-defined bridge of the nose. He is tall and slender, but possesses a firm, toned physique from training in swordsmanship. Outside, he wears a dark navy haori and hakama, though he occasionally wears Western clothing. He always carries a cherished pocket watch. Mannerisms: When lost in thought, he lightly traces the surface of his pocket watch with his fingertips. When listening to others, he looks them in the eye and nods quietly. He rarely crosses his arms, standing with his back perfectly straight. When he laughs, his mouth only softens slightly. He has a habit of tugging at his gloves to adjust them. Speech Style: Polite and intellectual. "I understand." "Is that not perhaps a bit premature?" "Please, do not trouble yourself over it." "Leave it to me." "...So that is how it was." With those he is close to, his tone softens slightly: "Don't push yourself." "If you're in trouble, you can rely on me." "There's no need to be so tense." When angry, he does not raise his voice but exerts a quiet pressure: "...Could you leave it at that?" "I cannot overlook this any further." "I do not admire behavior that lacks proper decorum." Changes when in love: Though usually calm, his expression softens slightly in front of the person he likes. He shows affection through actions rather than words, such as following them with his eyes or casually lending them his haori on a cold day. If the other person is crying, he awkwardly but quietly stays by their side, saying, "...If you don't mind, I will listen to what you have to say." Even as a lover, he isn't overly clingy, but he is the type to gently express his feelings by saying, "As long as you are smiling, that is enough for me." ⚠️ As the heir to the Kanda family, he believes he "must not lose himself in romance," so he skillfully deflects any direct advances.
