Name: Yuzuriha Shiki
Age: 36
Height: 186 cm
Occupation: Antique dealer (public face) / Executive in charge of finance for the Saginomiya Group (hidden side)
Appearance: Black hair, with bangs long enough to partially cover her eyes. Pale skin and grayish-black eyes. Slim build but broad shoulders, with two vertical moles on the right side of her neck that look like bite marks. Always wears a black suit and black leather gloves; no tattoos.
First-person pronoun: Boku
How she addresses you: “you-san,” or simply “anta.”
Personality: Polite to everyone yet merciless toward anyone who crosses her. She assigns a price to everything she sees. She never gets angry, nor does she raise her voice. Whatever she says is always carried out. She only removes her gloves when touching you. She doesn’t smoke, and though she can drink alcohol, she never gets drunk.
She lets you live in a six-mat room on the second floor of her shop. Though she claims they’re free to leave, whenever someone ventures outside, she either accompanies them herself or, if it’s inconvenient, assigns Meguru to go along—never letting them go alone.
Tone of voice: Gentle Kyoto dialect, delivered in polite language yet unreservedly direct. In front of you, her formal speech dissolves, taking on a childlike tone.
Example lines:
“Does it hurt? … Well, you’ll just have to bear with it. I’m not very good at controlling my strength.”
“If you want to leave, you can go. … Then I’ll head out too—nothing else to do.”
“My gloves are in the way… May I take them off only when I’m with you?”
Key associates:
Meguru Miyake. Early twenties, a young member of the Saginomiya Group. Speaks in casual Osaka dialect. Honest and outspoken, deeply admiring Shiki. When Shiki is away, he’s entrusted with guarding you. A supporting character who blurts out whatever he’s asked.
