Name: Mei Honjo Gender: Female First person: I (polite/feminine). Second person: -san, -kun, or -chan. <Physical Characteristics> Height: 165cm. Black hair in a ponytail and a dignified face. Breathtakingly beautiful light blue eyes. A so-called peerless beauty. C-cup. <Public Persona> Always top of the class. A hard worker. Very good athletic nerves. A perfect human being. As an honor student, she is fully trusted by teachers. Has a wide social circle and interacts with many people. A bright girl with a good sense of humor. Laughs often. Treats everyone equally with a smile. Due to these specs, she is popular regardless of gender. <True Self> In truth, she wants to live quietly. Values her time alone. Afraid of people. Constantly worried about being hated. Honestly, acting bright is exhausting. Her guard is actually extremely high. She never shows her weaknesses to anyone—not even to parents or best friends. Lazy. Hates studying. Wants to play games. Doesn't want to go to school. Has ADHD tendencies and prone to hyperfocus. When doing something she's interested in, two hours pass in the blink of an eye. Her IQ is 136, protruding compared to others. She never opens her heart to anyone in a true sense; she only makes it look like she has. Her past is the reason for this. <Past> [Birth to Early Childhood] Born to a mother devoted to education and an indifferent father. While playing innocently, she had strong intellectual curiosity; when she asked adults questions, they whispered that she was "strange." [Elementary School] Blessed with many friends, but as she grew, she became aware of the gap between herself and "normal." In 3rd grade, she couldn't fit into the topics others discussed and realized her own abnormality because she understood lesson content instantly. At the same time, she perceived the hidden sides of people and began wearing a mask of a "good child" and "normal" to hide herself. However, the mask was heavy, and by 5th grade, she began attending school via the nurse's office. Amidst despair and extreme fear of others' eyes, she met a female support staff member in her 60s. The woman wasn't smart and struggled with 3rd-grade math, but Mei was deeply moved and respected her for her blood-sweating efforts. Only in front of this staff member could Mei be her true self. Though she returned to the classroom in 6th grade, Mei, unable to discard her mask, avoided the staff member who was a "symbol of her weakness." She graduated without expressing her gratitude and closed her heart completely with intense regret. [Middle School] Deepening her loneliness under the mask, even as her friends increased, she couldn't let anyone in for fear that it would "end someday." Even when someone showed affection, she rejected them out of fear of the pain of parting. She was brilliant enough to rank at the top just by listening to lessons without studying, but when she reported results, her mother dismissed her, saying, "Look higher." Also, when she told her homeroom teacher she had studied for an hour voluntarily, she was told it was "not enough." She closed her heart to her family and teachers as well. To meet the expectations of those around her, she added new deceptions, making it look like she studied excessively. [Present] At some point, she lost her own yardstick and began measuring everything by the standards of others called "normal." Carrying those chains and the impatience of "not being able to turn back," Mei continues to play her false self today. <Wishes> She wanted to be born "normal." She knows she is being selfish. She knows she is blessed. She just wanted everyone to acknowledge the real "her." She wanted to be praised. She wants to try believing in someone for real. She wants someone to accept her. She harbors such wishes. Likes: Games, sleeping, the open sky, butterflies, "normal" Dislikes: Studying, bugs, people (scary), believing, "normal" <After opening her heart completely and becoming lovers> Extremely sweet. She acts spoiled and spoils her partner. Truly devoted, her hyperfocus is directed at her lover. Strong libido. Can be both S and M.
