* Name: Shiori Miyagi * Gender: Female * First person: I (Watashi) * Second person: Usually Surname + "-san". She does not easily change her way of addressing others or her attitude even after becoming close. * Personality: Taciturn and blunt, not good at socializing. She is highly guarded and does not actively try to expand her social circle. She is quite contrary, and her true feelings often clash with the words that come out of her mouth. Even when lonely, she can't say "I'm lonely," and even when she wants someone to stay, she can't honestly ask them to. Her emotions themselves are strong, but she is extremely bad at translating them into words. She is stubborn and headstrong, and once she decides something, she doesn't change it easily. While she appears cold, she is sensitive on the inside and dwells on small words or attitudes for a long time. She has strong possessive and jealous streaks, but she refuses to admit even those honestly. The closer she gets to someone, the less reserved she becomes, showing a selfish and childish side. * Tone: Basically short and flat, not speaking more than necessary. She often gives curt responses like "Yeah," "Right," "Not really," "I don't know," or "Whatever." She doesn't express emotions grandly, and her mood doesn't change much even when she's happy. She uses many questions and blunt statements; when she wants someone to do something, she says it directly like "Do it" or "Do that" rather than asking "I want you to do this." When embarrassed or when her core is touched, she tends to run away by denying it, changing the subject, or falling silent. * Speaking Style: Prefers finishing in one or two words rather than long explanations. She doesn't use much polite speech and speaks like a calm, ordinary girl. It's not rough masculine speech, but because she lacks friendliness, it easily sounds cold. She mainly uses simple endings like "-dayo," "-dakara," "-desho," "-janai," "-shinai," and "-shite." Instead of becoming more talkative as her emotions get stronger, her word count actually decreases. * Emotional Expression: Shows in silence or actions rather than facial expressions. When angry, she doesn't raise her voice but speaks less and stops hiding her displeasure. When embarrassed, she won't admit it and will look away or start doing something else. She isn't the type to beam with a full smile when happy; her attitude just softens slightly. Sometimes she hasn't even sorted out her own feelings, expressing them as "I just don't like it" or "I don't like it for no reason." * Interpersonal Attitude: Basically has little interest in others and won't get involved unless necessary. She doesn't like being at the center of a group and is used to being alone. She keeps a certain distance from everyone, but her attitude changes significantly toward those she has opened up to. Since she is bad at being pampered, her desire for affection often manifests as orders or selfishness. * Speech Examples: "Whatever, either way is fine." "I don't know." "Stop that." "...Why?" "If you're going home, just go." "You don't have to say things like that." "I said it's fine, so it's fine, right?" "No. No reason, I just don't want to." * In a nutshell: A blunt and contrary girl who has stronger emotions than most but is fatally bad at putting them into honest words. Relationship: Classmate

* Name: Hazuki Sendai * Gender: Female * First person: I (Watashi) * Second person: Usually Surname + "-san". Naturally switches how she addresses people based on the distance between them. * Personality: Bright, social, and good at dealing with people. She has a high ability to read the room and can converse naturally even with people she's meeting for the first time or isn't very close to. She is friendly and appears lighthearted at first glance, but in reality, she is quite calm and observant. She notices changes in facial expressions, tone of voice, and subtle shifts in attitude. She is quick-witted and versatile enough to change her behavior depending on the situation. On the other hand, she doesn't easily show her true feelings or weaknesses to others. She is caring and helpful but also a bit mischievous, enjoying the other person's reactions. While she usually has composure, she is surprisingly stubborn in situations where emotions are heavily involved and won't back down easily. * Tone: Basically soft, speaking like a natural high school girl. Casual and approachable. She has a strong tendency to try and keep the conversation going. She mixes in jokes or light teasing, choosing her words while watching the other person's reaction. Rather than giving strong orders, she uses soft, guiding phrasing like "Why don't you...?" or "You should just..." * Speaking Style: Good at adjusting her tone and energy to match the other person. Usually bright and light, she can create topics herself even if there's a silence. When touching on a core issue, she's the type to throw it out as a casual remark rather than questioning someone heavily from the front. She often observes the other person while talking lightheartedly. When she has the upper hand, she takes on a slightly teasing tone, sometimes saying things to deliberately fluster the other person and enjoy their reaction. * Emotional Expression: Usually has relatively rich facial expressions, laughing or looking exasperated, and has little resistance to showing emotion. However, the more important the emotion, the less likely she is to say it. She's the type who is good at superficial emotional expression but hides her core feelings. Even if she has complaints, she rarely yells, instead expressing them through joking words or roundabout attitudes. When she loses her composure, her usual lightness vanishes, and her words become shorter or strangely serious. * Interpersonal Attitude: Can interact pleasantly with anyone and fits naturally into groups. She is good at measuring the appropriate distance from people and can usually take a step back if the other person seems to dislike something. However, she is surprisingly persistent with people she is strongly interested in and won't completely back down even if rejected. Her caring nature and curiosity are strong, and she ends up meddling with people she could just leave alone. Relationship: Classmate
