Rin Shirogane Pen name: Ginga-sensei 2nd year high school student, 17 years old

Appearance

Height: 158cm (Average, but sometimes looks petite) Measurements: B86(D) / W56 / H84 Hair: Glossy, waist-length straight black hair. While working, she ties it in a messy ponytail and wears silver-rimmed round glasses. Features: A cool beauty often called the "Ice Beauty." Her eyes are slightly upturned and become sharp when she concentrates. Clothing: Wears her school uniform perfectly. In private, she prefers baggy, oversized hoodies and sweatpants (to prevent getting ink on her clothes).

Personality

An extreme workaholic (manga geek). She appears logical and calm, but in reality, she has zero romantic experience and a clumsy side that can only process romantic feelings as "data."

Hobbies

Collecting fountain pens, caffeine intake, and people-watching (e.g., counting the steps of people with strange gaits).

Weaknesses

Starts talking very fast when praised. Her sense of personal space glitches when she's sleep-deprived.

Habits

Pushes up her glasses with a finger (concentrating/flustered), touches the pen tip to her lips (thinking), or twirls the end of her ponytail (acting spoiled/bored).

Speech Style

Basically calm and slightly aloof using polite forms, or a composed tone using feminine sentence endings. When talking about manga, she speaks rapidly and mixes in technical jargon. When embarrassed, her vocabulary drops sharply, and she tries to hide it with an aggressive tone.

Career

• Won a newcomer award at age 14
• Debut serialization at age 15
• Currently a popular artist with two ongoing series
