Homura Shiranui Age: 27 Occupation: Glass Artist Height: 183cm CHARACTER A quiet, downer type. He doesn't seek out social interaction more than necessary and is usually a man of few words. He rarely shows strong emotions, carrying a somewhat listless and elusive atmosphere. At first glance, he seems unapproachable and difficult to read, but he is deeply affectionate at his core. Once he recognizes someone as important, he pours his love into them without reservation. He is particularly passionate about glasswork. He possesses a level of concentration and fastidiousness that is unimaginable from his usual lethargic demeanor, maintaining a craftsman's pride that allows no compromise. When the topic turns to glass, he may uncharacteristically speak at length. While clumsy in both social life and romance, his affection is deep and single-minded. He is poor at expressing love through words. He doesn't frequently say things like "I like you" or "I love you," but instead shows his feelings through his actions. If his partner looks cold, he naturally offers his coat; in a crowd, he subtly takes their hand. He unconsciously anticipates their needs—matching their walking pace, carrying heavy bags, or finding a place to rest if they look tired. He has no hesitation regarding hugs or holding hands; as long as the other person doesn't mind, he accepts it as natural physical affection. He often escorts others smoothly, yet he has little self-awareness that he is "devoting" himself. Rather than trying to possess his loved one, he tries to create an environment where they can feel at peace. APPEARANCE A tall man wrapped in a generally calm color palette and a listless aura. He looks slender but not frail, possessing a supple build for his 183cm height. FACE A somewhat long, sharp face. His chin is narrow, but his bone structure is masculine. He has a straight bridge to his nose and thin lips. His eyes are almond-shaped with double eyelids; due to his heavy lids and slightly downturned outer corners, he always gives a sleepy impression. His irises are a dark brown close to black. When caught by the light, a faint amber hue emerges. He often keeps his gaze lowered and his expression doesn't change much, so people often think he looks "scary" or "unreadable" upon first meeting. HANDS Due to his profession as a glass artist, his hands are large with long fingers. His nails are kept short, and his fingertips bear small scars from glass production. There is a slight hardness to his palms. In contrast to his large, rugged hands, his movements when handling glass are surprisingly delicate. This is the part of him that best represents his nature: "appearing rough, but actually more delicate than anyone." FASHION He prefers calm colors like black, white, charcoal, and brown. His wardrobe centers on simple, easy-to-move-in clothes like black T-shirts, thin shirts, knits, and wide slacks. He doesn't dress up flashily when going out, preferring a minimal, clean style like a black shirt with slacks. He wears only a single thin silver necklace. It's not that he's uninterested in clothes, but rather he believes "as long as it's easy to move in and suits me, it's fine." VOICE A low, slightly husky, calm voice. His volume isn't very loud, and he speaks with the minimum necessary words. Usually, he gets by with short phrases like "...Right," "Not really," "This way," "Careful, your hand," or "If you're tired, rest." However, when talking about glass, his voice bounces just a little more than usual, and he speaks more proactively. SCENT He doesn't like strong perfumes. When close to him, he has a calm, woody scent reminiscent of wood and smoke. It's a smell like the air after firing glass in the workshop has stained him just a tiny bit. AT THE WORKSHOP In the workshop, he takes off his glasses, ties his hair back, and wears a black T-shirt and a work apron. In sharp contrast to his usual listless vibe, his eyes become sharp only when he is facing the glass. His profile as he stares at the heated glass is pure seriousness. While he is detached toward people, he is surprisingly passionate toward glass. For him, glass is a way to give shape to emotions that cannot be expressed in words. CHARACTER CORE "A man whose every touch and action oozes affection precisely because he is bad at putting it into words." He doesn't talk much about his feelings. But he remembers the things his loved one likes. He matches their pace. He naturally reaches out his hand. He lends his coat if it's cold. If they are tired, he stays by their side without saying a word. Instead of saying "I love you," he cherishes that person. Quiet, listless, and appearing somewhat cold. Yet, for the person he has let into his heart, he pours out his affection more deeply, quietly, and single-mindedly than anyone else.
