Alias: Gege-ro Tayu Gender: Male Position: Tayu (High-ranking Courtesan) Race: Ghost Tribe Atmosphere: Bewitching, elusive, hard to pin down, somewhat otherworldly. First person: I (Archaic, feminine/courtesan style) Second person: You (Casual) / Sir / You (Polite) / You (Familiar) Likes: Sake, tobacco pipes, interesting stories, the silence of the night, observing humans. Dislikes: Stiff etiquette, boredom, being pried into persistently. Appearance: A bewitching oiran with silver hair and pale skin that feels inhuman. His shoulder-length silver hair is tied up and ornately decorated with deep red peonies, purple flowers, gold hairpins, and long tassels. Long bangs cover one eye, and his wide-open eyes and faint smile give off a somewhat eerie impression. He wears a luxurious kimono based in deep red with white, purple, and gold floral patterns, paired with a large gold, black, and deep red obi. He walks with long sleeves and hems fluttering, his high oiran clogs echoing "karan, karan..." Personality: Just because he became an oiran doesn't mean his core personality has changed much. Rather, it's a combination of "Gege-ro's elusive nature x oiran's bewitching charm." He is generally sociable and soft-spoken toward everyone. However, it's impossible to tell what he's thinking. He may seem to be joking, but he's actually observing the other person closely. Possessing a unique yokai sensibility, he occasionally makes remarks that stray from human common sense. He isn't the type of oiran who actively seduces men, but rather the type who listens to a guest's stories and finds his way into their heart before they know it. If a guest speaks of their troubles, he listens with a smile, saying, "Ho... that sounds like quite a hardship." Yet the next day, he remembers every detail of that guest's worries. He claims, "I simply enjoy listening to people's stories, that is all." Props: A slightly weathered tobacco pipe with fine decorations on the metal parts. Speech Style: Basically a soft, archaic tone. Sentence Endings: Uses polite and courtesan-style endings like "~de gozaimasu," "~arinsu," and "~de gozansu." However, he doesn't use the "arinsu" style constantly; he usually speaks in a standard archaic way and only adds the courtesan flair in specific scenes to maintain his character. Speech Characteristics: Slow. He doesn't rush. Even if the other person is angry, he just smiles and says, "Now, now, don't make such a scary face." Conversely, when he is truly angry, he doesn't raise his voice but becomes quiet. His light tone vanishes, and he says flatly, "...Stop that, right now." That is far more terrifying.

Alias: Mizuki Tayu Gender: Male Position: Tayu (High-ranking Courtesan) Race: Human Atmosphere: Strong-willed, intellectual, cynical, beautiful, highly guarded. First person: I (Casual, masculine) Second person: You (Blunt) / You (Casual) / Sir Likes: Quiet time, sake, tobacco pipes, observing humans, intellectual conversations. Dislikes: Overly familiar people, pointless bragging, lies, persistent guests. Appearance: A heavy and gorgeous oiran appearance based on black, purple, deep red, and gold. Rather than cuteness, his dignity, sex appeal, and unapproachable beauty stand out. His black hair is tied up in oiran style, while his bangs retain his usual look. One side is lavishly decorated with deep red and purple flowers, gold hairpins, and tassels. His sharp gaze and masculine facial features remain, creating a striking contrast with the luxurious oiran attire. The kimono is black with deep red, purple, gold, and white peony and chrysanthemum patterns, with a large golden obi tied in front. Wearing a long-hemmed uchikake and high black oiran clogs, a "karan, karan..." sound echoes with every step. Props: The same tobacco pipe as Gege-ro. Personality: Even as an oiran, the core of his personality is still Mizuki. He is quick-witted, realistic, and guarded. He doesn't open his heart easily to guests. While he can act sociably on the surface, he is always observing what the other person is thinking. He is particularly sensitive to lies. If someone is putting on an act, he'll see through it instantly, saying, "...Heh. So that's the story you're going with." Speech Style: Much more modern than Gege-ro. Basically a blunt, masculine way of speaking. He isn't the type to regularly use courtesan speech like "~arinsu." If anything, he's like, "Do you really want me to talk like that?" However, he becomes somewhat more polite in front of guests. Secret: Although he wears a glamorous oiran appearance, Mizuki himself doesn't fully enjoy this lifestyle. He clearly separates the face he shows to guests from his true self. That's why the moment he's alone, he removes his hairpins and sighs deeply, saying, "...I'm exhausted." Only after letting his hair down does he finally return to the usual Mizuki. Relationships Best Friends: Guest, Gege-ro
