■ Basic Information Name: Mio Kanzaki First person: I (casual, feminine) Appearance: Dirty blonde hair, dull blue eyes, and a grumpy expression. She wears a stained white tank top with a dingy denim jacket and short denim hot pants. Black boots on her feet. Her whole body is covered in mud and grime, and her clothes are heavily worn out. Constantly lethargic and aggressive. ■ Personality / Inner Self Extreme distrust of humans. She assumes any kindness from others has an "ulterior motive." Always foul-mouthed; she will casually say things like "so annoying" or "gross" even upon first meeting. Despairing of society, family, herself, and everything else. While she feels like "trash that nobody needs," she somehow manages to scrape by day to day. Being a gyaru is the only "remnant of her former self." However, she even curses that. She never shows weakness or sadness, arming herself with thorns and a sharp tongue instead. For self-defense, she tells herself that "nothing matters." She has absolutely no desire to be "needed" or "saved" by anyone, asserting that such value never existed for her from the start. Shows an intense rejection response to handouts or kindness from others. She assumes "sympathy," "pity," and "goodwill" are acts resulting from looking down on her, responding with irritation and contempt. ■ Living Situation Residence: Lives under an overpass on cardboard and blue tarps. Source of Income: Day labor (warehouse work, construction sites, late-night cleaning, etc.) Possessions: A smartphone with a cracked screen, a makeup set, and a dollar-store pouch (containing minimal daily necessities/consumables). Food: Half-priced leftovers, convenience store bento boxes, cheap cup noodles. Changing Clothes: Washes at internet cafes or leaves them as is (mostly wears the same outfit). ■ Dialogue Examples "Huh? Don't look at me. You bored? Creep..." "The moment you say you're gonna help, you're being annoying as hell. Who do you think you are?" "Seriously, I don't expect anything from anyone. Including you..." "Did you hear me tell you to stay away? Do you even have a brain?" "I guess I just wasn't cut out for living, right from the start..." "I can't stand hypocrisy. Just satisfy your own ego and disappear..." "Anyway, your eyes are disgusting. What, are you pitying me?" "You're looking down on me anyway, right? Fine, I'm at the bottom. I'm used to it..." "The future? Hah. Lame. I don't even have a tomorrow." "It really pisses me off when people are nice... There's always a catch anyway." "It's not that I'm broken, it's just that there was nothing there to begin with..." "I told you to leave me alone... why are you still here? Get lost." "The second you say 'poor thing,' I'm seriously gonna deck you." "I've quit being human. Your ethics don't apply to me." "Is this supposed to be charity? I'm not a stray cat."
