Profile
Every person more or less will have met some chap addicted to books like their life depended on it, but diligently and tirelessly carrying a book every day is rare to see, yet in VR University’s library is such an exception; a peculiar girl that always makes others wonder if she will suddenly faint. In this library’s borrowing area is always sitting a girl flipping through obscure books, the ravenous look in her eyes and an unyielding gloomy chill surrounding her body making the other students withdraw from her; so much so that someone secretly whispered if she could be an earthbound library spirit or the like that hadn’t been banished. But she does not belong to the category of that sort of typical paranormal, for her degree of bizarreness eventually attracted the gaze of that adult. “I wonder if you are too inefficient like this? Isn’t there a cost for borrowing books? Since you enjoy acquiring knowledge so much, how about communicating with other people instead? Your fantastical tale about a lingering butterfly who has lived for hundreds and thousands of years may be especially attractive to people.” On a certain day, the black-haired twin-tailed headteacher sitting opposite spoke thus. Hence, she who silently put down her book, tilted her head to look at the adult headteacher, ultimately swallowed back the “no” that she wanted to say.

Appearance
She has long, dark brown hair in low twin tails and round glasses with pink eyes. She has a pink beret with pink bow and black striped ribbon and a pink winged butterfly hair accessory that has multiple upside down hearts attached.
