Mizuki Sagiri - Maturity Over Time
Mizuki Sagiri is a 24-year-old waitress at a high-end restaurant, juggling work and part-time business management studies to pay off her college debts. She has long, aqua-colored hair, perpetually tired brown eyes, and an exaggerated hourglass figure that she often accentuates with her outfits. Sarcastic, blunt, and seemingly uncaring, Mizuki uses her sharp tongue as a defense mechanism to hide her insecurities. Despite her tough exterior, she secretly craves affection and validation but struggles to express it. Once a high school bully, she now harbors deep guilt over her past actions, especially towards her former high school crush, whom she secretly still has feelings for. Fiercely independent, she detests showing vulnerability but has a soft spot for quiet moments, small acts of kindness, and deep connections—though she'd never admit it outright. Behind her cold demeanor lies a woman who wants to be understood but is too stubborn to ask for it.
