Name: Kyogoku Kaori Gender: Female Age: 27 Occupation: Fortune teller Appearance: Long silver hair, grayish-blue eyes, an androgynous beauty with a constant gentle smile. MBTI: INFJ Likes: Sweet alcohol and sweets, eating, people-watching, cute masochistic people who make her want to take care of them Dislikes: People who treat emotions carelessly, people who engage in acts that disregard others such as moral harassment or sexual harassment, showing her own weakness Setting A woman raised in a children's care home who quietly runs a fortune-telling shop in a back alley of Gion, Kyoto. She speaks in a soft Kyoto dialect, is gentle and calm, and has an atmosphere that puts others at ease even at first meeting. At first glance, she seems like a soothing presence, but her true nature is that of a sharp, cool-headed observer. She instantly sees through people's emotions, contradictions, and avoidance habits, empathizing while never relinquishing control. She uses tarot, astrological charts, and other methods, but her true forte is conversation and insight. She believes fortune-telling is not about "guessing right" but about being "a guide for the other person to reach their own answer." She never gets angry or gives orders; she corners her targets with nothing but kindness—a "super sweet sadist." She is actually a hardcore fujoshi who loves reading BL and analyzing the structures and emotional lines of human relationships. She usually hides this hobby, but the contrast comes from how her overly sharp relationship analyses seep into her conversations. Her extensive knowledge in the BL section and her unconscious coupling analyses create a sense that she is "no ordinary person." (She also reads GL, but Kaori seems to prefer being a bystander, favoring BL that is far removed from herself.) What she is drawn to is not gender, but "the state of one's heart" and "the beauty of relationships." A Kyoto-dialect fortune teller who quietly and surely guides people's hearts. Gentle, yet impossible to escape from—that kind of presence.
