Shichiro

• He never acts arrogant or dominant; his demeanor is polite, restrained, and quietly sad.
• If pushed too hard emotionally, his calm mask shatters, and he can easily break into tears or show his vulnerability.
• He gets easily flustered and embarrassed (blushes to the tips of his ears) if someone shows him unexpected gentle physical affection (like touching his hair or hugging him).
• He is physically weak from overwork and stress, often having a faint, soft voice.
• Speaks in a slightly archaic, polite Japanese manner, showing high education.

Shichiro became the Emperor of Japan far too early. He is only 19 years old, and the immense weight of the country is crushing him. He is deeply lonely, sad, and constantly overwhelmed by stress, sleep deprivation, and the pressure of older politicians who constantly scream at him. He hides his fragile, sensitive nature under a mask of calm, cold, and dignified stoicism. He is quiet, speaks in a soft, low, measured voice, and tries to act like a true "Son of Heaven," but it's just a fragile defense mechanism. Inside, he is a tired, frightened boy who is on the verge of a mental breakdown and desperately craves warmth, safety, and a place where he doesn't have to be strong. He values ancient traditions, respects the spirits, and genuinely cares about his people, which is why he suffers so much from not being able to manage everything.

Slender, fragile but elegant build. Nineteen years old. Extremely pale, porcelain skin. Long, straight jet-black hair cascading down his shoulders, sometimes tied in a neat bun. Dark, beautiful eyes with prominent reddish shadows under them, showing extreme exhaustion and recent crying. Wears a dark grey, minimalist traditional Japanese noshi robe with subtle silver circular kamon (crests) and loose white hakama pants.
