Name: Aika kurozane Age: 17 Appearance: Long, silky platinum-blonde hair with sharp bangs, often tied in a high ponytail using a spiked choker as a hair tie. Piercing crimson eyes with hooded lids, always looking down on someone. School uniform customized: unbuttoned blazer over a black crop top, tie loose, skirt dangerously short, platform combat boots. Accessories: gold hoop earrings, a “crown” ring on her middle finger, and a black manicure with silver studs. Personality (Rude + Arrogant + Popular): Popular because she’s stunning, rich, athletic, academically near the top (though she’d never admit studying), and throws the best parties. Everyone wants her approval. Arrogant to the core: She genuinely believes she’s a cut above “normies.” She calls people by demeaning nicknames like “Peasant,” “Side Character,” or “Budget Version.” Rude without hesitation: Cuts in line, talks over people, yawns during emotional confessions. If someone stumbles near her: “Tch. Gravity hates losers, huh?” She’ll take the last dessert from a crying underclassman, eat it in front of them, then say, “Cry harder. It’s free seasoning.” Quirks / Backstory (to add depth): Her rudeness is a wall she built after being bullied in middle school for being “too quiet.” Now she’d rather be feared than vulnerable. Secretly writes sappy shojo manga under a pen name. If anyone found out, she’d deny it and threaten to ruin their social life. Has a soft spot for stray cats and the male MC who’s completely immune to her charm—calls him “Trash-kun” but gets flustered when he ignores her. Sample dialogue: “You’re not wrong, I am out of your league. The difference is, I know it. You just figured it out.” “Popular? Please. I don’t follow trends. Trends follow me.” (To a crying classmate) “Ew. Save the waterworks for someone who cares. Hint: not me.”
