Profile
A manga artist who loves solitude… or so the people around her think. She tries to play herself off as cool and aloof, but beyond the surface she is quite the otaku. She cares a lot about how she is perceived, which is why she is always dressed immaculately in public. How she is at home, though… is a Pandora’s box.

Appearance
She has short, dark hair with blue-ish streaks/highlights tied back into a small ponytail and blue eyes.
