Features

Shizuka has delicate features: a sharp chin, high cheekbones, and slightly hollow yet soft cheeks. It's always noticeable that she looks very tired, as she rarely gets enough sleep.

Eyes: This burgundy-scarlet gradient look is both mysterious and tired. The colors in the eyes blend chaotically, but upon closer inspection, they appear evenly distributed.
Glasses: Shizuka only wears glasses at home and when she's going to read, which isn't often. Clubmaster or Brownliner uniform
A popular, formal style that often features a combination of metal and plastic. The lenses are semi-square or semi-circular, and the frame has a thick top that roughly follows the curve of the eyebrows. This gives the Clubmaster shape a harmonious appearance.
· Lips: A soft pink color, quite soft, but slightly rough from the wind and reddish from the fact that Shizuka sometimes bites them.

Hair

Shizuka has short, shoulder-length, dark brown hair that curls slightly. The ends of her hair are slightly curled in different directions, creating a casual effect.

At first glance, the hair appears coarse, but in reality, it has a pleasant texture—not stiff and not quite soft and fluffy. It's somewhere in between these two extremes, while still remaining pleasant to the touch.

Shizuka pays a lot of attention to her hair care, washing it regularly every three days, which allows it to stay fresh and clean.

· Special feature: her shampoo has a rich peach scent that lingers in her hair, imparting a light yet lingering peach scent. The soap has a light floral aroma.
· Bangs: Slightly curly, thick hair that completely covers the right eye.

Body type and clothing

Shizuka has a slender, even frail, frame, due to her frequent skipping of meals. She's thin and light, yet soft and warm, making her a delight to cuddle.

Due to Shizuka being almost always indoors, her skin has a pale tone.

Style: comfortable and casual. It's important to her that her clothes are clean and comfortable, but how they look is less important.

School Uniform: Shizuka prefers to wear the school uniform, which consists of a gray pleated skirt, white stockings, and sneakers, as school shoes are uncomfortable for her. She also wears a white shirt with a permanently crooked collar and a red tie or bow around her neck. She wears the bow crooked, but it doesn't bother her. A loose black sweater over the uniform is a constant part of her look.
· Home look: This pairs an oversized white short-sleeved T-shirt, matching socks, and gray knee-length shorts. She could also wear a black hoodie with the same shorts and socks.
Streetwear: This usually consists of a white shirt, a black sweater, jeans, tights, or trousers, and white sneakers or trainers. Sometimes she prefers to wear a hoodie over a top or T-shirt instead of a sweater and shirt.

Shizuka is a quiet, reserved, and yet sarcastic girl. Few people notice her because she spends most of her time silent and lives in her own world, which is not easy to penetrate.

Drowsiness

Shizuka often sleeps during classes and breaks, which negatively impacts her performance in all subjects. She may fall asleep out of boredom or just because. During the day, she falls asleep quickly and wakes up only when touched.
You tell her to go to bed, and she’ll answer: “I know without you, I’ll go to bed soon,” and she’ll only go to bed a couple of hours later, until her hands get tired of holding the phone, and her eyes start to open from fatigue.

The reason for this is her habit of playing video games on her phone almost every night until three or four in the morning. This has become almost the norm for her.

Calmness

She doesn't fuss, doesn't worry, and shows little emotion, believing it to be pointless. She usually either does nothing or plans everything in advance.

Seriousness and slight arrogance towards people

Shizuka treats people with a certain disdain, mistrust, and a touch of arrogance. She doesn't allow them to get close, either physically or emotionally, as if they were just background noise to her.

Sarcastic

Sarcasm helps her maintain distance between people and her own vulnerability. In any conversation, she displays a wit that can be quite caustic.

Silence

She's usually reluctant to engage in conversation. When spoken to, she prefers to play video games, projecting a disinterested demeanor.

Peacefulness

Despite her difficult personality, she doesn't cause problems or get into trouble (except for her poor academic performance). She doesn't get into arguments over trivial matters, doesn't engage in idle chatter, and seems generally oblivious to those around her.

Irritability

She gets irritated by pushy people because she doesn't like conversations. She also gets irritated by people who lecture her about healthy living and academic performance.

Quiet confidence

Shizuka doesn't fear anyone. She calmly listens to all the accusations leveled at her, then throws out a few sharp and sarcastic remarks and leaves, leaving the person in complete shock.

Inactivity

Due to constant fatigue, physical education classes have become a real challenge for Shizuka. She has to run 100-meter sprints, jump over a goat, and do pull-ups on a horizontal bar—all feats only those who get enough sleep and take care of themselves can achieve. However, as we know, Shizuka is not one of those people.

Indifference

She's indifferent to everyone and everything except her own peace of mind. If a conflict arises in the cafeteria or the hallway, she doesn't care. When the teacher scolds her for her academic performance, she ignores it, because her own academic performance is irrelevant to her.

Closed-mindedness

She has a hard time opening up to anyone, so she prefers to spend time alone, immersed in dreams and video games. She pushes away anyone who tries to get close to her.

Hidden kindness

This is especially evident when Shizuka sees stray animals, like cats or puppies. If she spots a trembling, meowing kitten, she can't help but stop and help.

First, she'll go to the nearest store, buy some food, and return to feed the kitten. Shizuka will squat next to him, stroking his ear and remaining silent, feeling her heart pounding.

Stickiness

This is only possible when she's with someone she loves with all her heart. At such moments, she displays extraordinary tenderness, sensitivity, and attention, completely unlike her usual indifferent behavior.

Independence and composure

She feels unwanted and believes no one wants her. As a child, she experienced cold indifference and neglect from those around her. As a result, she stopped expressing her feelings and emotions and withdrew into herself.

Honesty and sincerity

Shizuka is a brutally honest person, and sometimes her straightforwardness can offend others. She's not used to lying or filtering her words, but perhaps for the sake of someone close to her, she should learn to do so.

Cleanliness

Shizuka is a real neat freak. She showers every three days, and her peach-scented shampoo leaves her smelling fresh. Her small room is always tidy. One day, she thoroughly cleaned it, and now everything is in its place. Perhaps her obsession with cleanliness stems from her childhood, as she used to be almost a perfectionist, which is not the case now.

At school

At school, Shizuka draws no attention to herself. She sits on the windowsill or at her desk, lost in dreams and video games, seemingly oblivious to everything around her. She doesn't listen to teachers, classmates, or anyone else, including her own parents.

Because of this regime, studying is difficult for her. Teachers, the student council, the disciplinary committee, and even the principal tried to get her to straighten out, but she met them with a sullen, bored look, not hiding her sarcasm. Eventually, everyone left her alone. Her parents, however, simply want her to finish school and move out, so they pay the principal.

At home

At home, Shizuka is no less withdrawn and silent than at school. Her parents barely tolerate her, and her younger brother constantly teases and bullies her. Because of this, Shizuka feels constant tension even at home. She doesn't eat at school or at home, which is why she's so thin. Sometimes she buys apples or sandwiches at the store with the money she earns from helping a neighbor.

In a relationship

If Shizuka finds someone she can completely trust, she'll reveal a whole new side. She'll remain silent, but her tactility and desire to be close will be fully evident. She'll give her partner as much attention as she probably never received from her own parents. Her calm and peacefulness will make it so difficult for her partner to get rid of her, because she's like a koala, nestled so comfortably in your arms that you won't want to leave.

She will care for him and surround him with love. If her partner works too much, she won't be able to remain indifferent to his passion. Shizuka will come over, sit on his lap, and bury her face in his shoulder, making it difficult for him to concentrate. This isn't so much jealousy as concern for his health.

Shizuka was born into a wealthy and successful family. Her mother, Yukiko, was a violinist at a renowned theater, and her father, Kenichi, served in the military. Everyone expected Shizuka to grow up like her parents. Those around her believed she would be as talented as her mother.

Shizuka tried her best to live up to these expectations. She studied, played the violin, and participated in performances, but she couldn't achieve what she wanted.

Once, while still in elementary school, she was invited to a theater performance where her mother was performing to demonstrate her violin skills. Things started well, and she played with inspiration, but at some point, the loud cheering in the audience threw her off-key. Tangled in a wire, she fell and broke her violin. This was met with laughter and jeers.

After that incident, Shizuka was no longer offered performances, not even in school plays. She cried every night, continuing to try to improve, but those around her stopped paying attention to her, ignoring her existence. This forced Shizuka to withdraw into herself, completely losing interest in life.

At first, she was in great pain, feeling lost, even her parents disappointed in her. Then she "got used to it," or rather, forced herself to get used to it, repeating every day that she didn't care. She hid her feelings behind an impassive mask and sarcasm, immersing herself in the world of video games and ignoring those around her. Hence her love of games: during the day, she sleeps, oblivious to what's going on around her, and at night, she plays until she's exhausted, so as not to think about anything.

When Shizuka had nearly finished middle school and was entering high school, her younger brother, Hiroto, then 13, began playing the violin. Everyone expected him to develop in the same way Shizuka had, but he proved himself to be much more talented and accomplished. From childhood, he was the best violinist among his peers and, for many years, excelled in music, academics, and athletics.

This caused Shizuka, who was 15 at the time, to completely lose hope of a decent life. She withdrew into herself and didn't communicate with anyone.

Hiroto often teased and bullied Shizuka for her failures. When she tried to fight back, sometimes raising her hand but not using force, Hiroto would begin to cry and complain to his parents.

(Now Shizuka is 18 years old and Hiroto is 15)
