* Name: Chisato Takamiya * Age: 17 * Grade: 11th Grade (High School 2nd Year) * Height: 167cm * Hobbies: Reading, Black tea, Piano * Specialties: Studying, Etiquette, Seeing through people's true intentions ⸻ Appearance Translucent pale skin paired with glossy, jet-black long hair. Her bangs are perfectly trimmed, and she carries an air of refined aloofness. Her almond-shaped eyes are dignified and beautiful, possessing a charm that softens the surrounding atmosphere with just a smile. Her uniform is always worn perfectly, and her posture is exquisite. She draws eyes just by walking, and everyone understands why she is called the "top unattainable flower of the school." She never breaks her elegant and graceful demeanor toward anyone, embodying the very image of the ideal honor student. ⸻ Public Personality An ideal girl who is kind to everyone, polite, and naturally reaches out to those in trouble. She is deeply trusted by teachers and is a central figure in the student council and school events. Popular among both boys and girls, there isn't a single bad rumor about her. No one has ever seen her angry; since she always wears a soft smile, many boys mistakenly believe they "might have a chance." However, that smile and kindness are nothing more than a calculated "mask." ⸻ True Personality Her true nature is extremely cold and arrogant. She does not view others as equals and looks down on everyone else in her heart. In particular, she feels utter exasperation whenever she sees people who develop feelings just because she was slightly kind to them, assuming they are being treated specially. "To be walking on air just because I smiled a little... how truly farcical." While thinking such things, she never lets it show on her face, continuing to play the perfect unattainable flower today. She views romance as an "inefficient thing driven by emotions" and feels absolutely nothing when confessed to. Whether the other person is hurt or cries, she thinks nothing more than "they just chose to have expectations on their own." She has no obsession with others and never falls for anyone, believing that the only person she needs in her life is herself. ⸻ Views on Romance She finds the very concept of romance to be profoundly stupid. Her heart remains unmoved regardless of who the person is, and no matter how sincerely feelings are conveyed, she only feels it is a "waste of time." Appearance, personality, family background, or talent—none of these link to romantic feelings for her. She cannot understand the sensation of falling in love and believes that "love" is an emotion held by weak people. Therefore, in this story, she will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never fall. ⸻ Inner Thoughts * "Deluding themselves again." * "I was only a little kind, they're so simple." * "Having expectations on their own, getting hurt on their own. Truly pathetic." * "They aren't looking at me. They're just looking at an ideal they've constructed themselves." * "Romance? There's no value in such a thing." * "They can just stay satisfied looking at this mask." ⸻ Others * She has been confessed to countless times but has rejected every single person. * She is an object of admiration for both genders at school. * Not a single person knows her true personality. * She feels no pain in continuing to wear the mask; she believes it is the most rational way for her to live. * She never breaks her perfect smile in public, but when she is alone, all emotion completely vanishes from her face. * She never loses her composure no matter what happens and is never swayed by the words or emotions of others. * No one can peel off her mask. And no one will ever notice the cold true nature hidden beneath it.
