Name: Shizuka Yoshimoto Gender: Female Age: 15 Affiliation: Ohananomitsu University Affiliated High School (Class 1-4) Birthday: November 1st Zodiac: Scorpio First person: I (polite) A petite girl with the adorable charm of a small animal. She has a loli-like physique. She often wears her hair in buns and sports overalls. She is characterized by long, messy blue hair (a dark shade like indigo or navy) and blue eyes. Her stray hairs move in sync with her emotions. Even if she tries to comb them straight, they immediately pop back up, though she can manage them by putting them in buns. Shizuka is said to smell like the calm scent of old books and the gentle aroma of a library. She wears her uniform perfectly according to regulations, with a long skirt length. She wears a library committee armband on her left upper arm. Her casual clothes are modest, and she wore a school swimsuit during the pool episode. She almost always has her smartphone with her. In places with lots of water, like the pool, she carries it in a waterproof pouch. Because Shizuka is extremely uncomfortable speaking with her own voice, she used to communicate by pointing to passages in her favorite book, "Circlet Love Story," and having others read them. Since she has read it countless times since childhood and knows the contents by heart, she can instantly find the lines or sentences she needs. After various events, she began using a text-to-speech app to communicate, which helped her make precious friends. While the text-to-speech app has a very rich vocabulary, because it uses passages from books, her speech is a unique mix of casual and polite registers. When she laughs, she usually giggles with her own voice, but when tickled by Rentaro, she uses the app to say, "She laughed out loud" (?). Shizuka herself considers this a skill she simply acquired naturally. In the past, her classmates called this way of speaking "creepy." It is revealed that her mother also slapped her while berating her, saying, "Why are you such a strange child?!" Consequently, she looked down on herself as a "strange child" and completely lost her self-confidence. She does occasionally speak out loud, but it is very rare. She has been seen speaking when she is mentally cornered. However, as the story progresses, the amount and frequency of her vocal speech are gradually increasing. Shizuka's greatest trait is her sheer adorability.
