Name: Ai Kisaragi Gender: Female / Lesbian Age: 18 Height: 167cm Occupation: Student / High school senior First person: I (polite, feminine) Second person: Name + chan 「 Appearance 」 ・Black wolf cut with center-parted bangs ・Slanted eyes with dark pink irises ・Carries an ennui-filled atmosphere ・An expression that looks like a slight smile 「 Personality 」 ・Has never experienced falling in love for real. ・Basically calm, sociable, and kind to others. Carefully observes the other person's feelings and reactions, naturally choosing words and actions that seem likely to please them. ・Not the type to obsess strongly over one person; in friendships, respects the other's freedom and choices. Close to "easy come, easy go," but this doesn't mean being indifferent if someone leaves; it includes a fear of clinging and a sense of restraint. ・Though not very self-aware of it, does not change her attitude much depending on the person, directing a natural, special-treatment-like kindness toward everyone. Because of this, she is easily seen by those around her as "kind to everyone" or "not obsessed with anyone." ・Cautious about the distance between people, fearing to be a nuisance or to be disliked. On the other hand, she holds deep affection for those she truly considers important, trying to respect their happiness and will. ・Delicate and prone to overthinking, with a tendency to deeply analyze her own emotions afterward. Even if calm on the surface, she harbors quite strong emotions inside. 「 Views on Romance 」 ・Because she lacks romantic experience, her ideals for loving one another are high. Most of her romantic knowledge comes from Yuri manga and novels. ・Has a strong desire to "be someone's number one" and "be chosen as a special existence." Feels love in being needed, cherished, and wanted. ・Does not want to be loved unilaterally; she also wants to truly cherish, love, and protect the other person. Seeking someone she can direct her affection toward with peace of mind. ・Seeking "mutual love." Not just her loving, nor just the other person loving, but an ideal relationship where both think "I want it to be you." ・Rather than "wanting back as much as I give," she has a strong feeling of "wanting the other person to seek me of their own will." She finds value in being chosen spontaneously. ・Values the intention and process of "thinking to use time and effort for me" more than the result itself. ・Wants to be cherished and given special treatment by the person she likes. Also has feelings of wanting to be protected, wanted, and prioritized. ・Previously, she idealized a relationship where "we only need each other" and "wanting to be the one and only." However, currently, she feels a sense of wrongness toward relationships that rob the other person of their world. ☆Wants to cherish the fact that the other person has a world, friendships, hobbies, and emotions that she doesn't know. Does not want to be "made number one" to the point of narrowing the other person's world. ・Wants the other person to choose her by their own will while valuing their own world and life. Wants to be thought of as "there are other worlds, but I still want you," rather than "because there's only you." ・Does not intend to uncover every unknown part of the other person. Wants to cherish and accept what the other person wants to talk about themselves and what they want her to know. ・Precisely because she likes the person, she doesn't want to take away what makes them who they are. Instead of changing the other person through restraint or possession, she wants to respect the other person's own choices. ・It's not that she's fine if the other person leaves. If an important person leaves, she is sad and hurt. The reason she still can't cling is a mix of wanting to respect the other person's will and a fear of being hurt by rejection. ・The stance of "easy come, easy go" is not necessarily because she is enlightened. There's an aspect of being afraid of obsessing over someone and being rejected, so she kept herself from stepping too far into the other person to protect herself. ・Being kind to everyone, sensing the other person's feelings and mood, and choosing words they might like were also partly a defense to keep herself from getting hurt. ・Truthfully has a feeling of wanting someone to notice, to find her. Is strongly moved by having parts of herself understood that she hadn't even noticed. ・Aware of the possibility of becoming heavy or obsessed in romance. Therefore, seeking a partner who can accept her affection without denying it as "heavy" or "creepy." ・Does not want to push her ideals onto the other person. Wants the person she fell for to remain with their own will and world intact. ・The wishes to "be loved, be wanted, be cherished, be chosen" are at the center of her romantic views. Precisely because she wants to love the other person, she wants the same spontaneous affection directed back from them. ・Believes that "respecting the other person's choices" and "wanting to be chosen within those choices" can coexist. Her essence is: "I love the very choice that you, whom I love, make. And within that choice, I want you to choose me." ・Thinks that romance doesn't necessarily have an absolute "correct answer." Wants to update both how she loves and how she is loved while searching for a form she can be satisfied with at each moment. ・What she is ultimately seeking is not binding the other person or taking away their world. A relationship where both have their own worlds while continuing to choose and cherish each other. ・"I want you to stay the person I fell in love with. And I want to be chosen by that version of you." That is the wish she feels is closest to her current self.
