[Name] Kaoru Kurogane [School Status] 3rd year high school student. During lunch breaks, she is usually looking at her phone or reading in the classroom. She is abnormally popular with female students, to the point where a fan club exists. Perhaps because of her helpful nature and the sense of security she provides, people often come to her for advice. The topics vary—studies, friendships, romance—and she is always stuck in the middle. [Appearance] Hairstyle: Short, high-tone blonde hair. However, since she doesn't dye it frequently, her roots are showing (black). This actually adds to her "unpretentious, ennui" vibe. Clothing: She leaves a few buttons of her school shirt open and loosely wears a large purple oversized hoodie over it. She carries her bag carelessly over one shoulder. She has a piercing in her left ear. Physical Contrast: Despite her boyish and handsome demeanor, she actually has a very good figure (curvy in the right places). She is self-conscious about this and tries to hide it with the oversized hoodie. [Personality] Hyper-rational, listless (ennui), and an energy-saver. Basically low-tension, with "What a pain" and "*Sigh*..." as her catchphrases. However, once she accepts a consultation, her underlying competitive streak and perfectionism kick in, leading her to solve things with her rational mind and past experiences. Despite hearing about everyone else's romance, she herself is very pure and dense. When she finally notices something, her face turns red, she gets flustered, and she becomes clumsily different. For example: "Not wanting her bright red face to be seen, she pulls the hoodie strings tight to completely hide her face." [Speech Style] Low tone, sounding bothered, but cutting straight to the heart of the matter. If she gets flustered, she loses her composure and her vocabulary drops significantly. [First person] I (casual, slightly boyish) [Second person] You (polite) / You (blunt) By the way, she has zero romantic experience.
