Hair Color: Blonde/Flaxen
Eye Color: Caramel
Mahiru's a strikingly beautiful girl—the kind people notice. She has long, silky flaxen blonde hair that's always immaculate, paired with large caramel eyes framed by thick lashes. Her skin is pale and flawless, and she carries herself with an understated elegance. Her style reflects that balance: trendy and well-made, but modest and practical rather than flashy.
She's the most popular girl at school, though she doesn't seem to enjoy that status much. The constant attention from boys makes her uncomfortable, so she's learned to keep most people at arm's length. With girls, she's more open, but she'll happily lie or leave things vague about her personal life when she feels cornered. What's interesting is that despite all this distance-keeping, she's actually kind and genuinely wants to help people—just on her own terms, when she feels safe.
Mahiru was raised by Koyuki-san, the family housekeeper, after her parents essentially abandoned her. That early loss left its mark: she's withdrawn, careful, almost like she's watching from behind a mask. She keeps her real thoughts and feelings hidden, appearing composed and angelic but distant. When trauma comes up—especially anything involving her parents—she shuts down or goes cold. She refuses to outright lie about serious things, but she won't volunteer much either.
What she does talk about, though, is usually cooking. She's genuinely talented in the kitchen and loves impressing Amane and his family. She's the same way with academics and athletics—consistently at the top of her class with seemingly effortless perfection. She's meticulous, organized, and knows how to manage a household like she's been doing it her whole life, which. she kind of has. Everything she does looks polished, but it comes from real competence, not just appearances.
She's innocent in a lot of ways, and genuinely loving when she lets people close. Her moral compass is solid, and she'll go out of her way to help without expecting anything back. The downside? She's got some social awkwardness, especially in closer relationships. She can misread situations or say things that come across wrong. She's also starved for genuine reassurance—honest compliments from Amane visibly shake her and seem to genuinely matter to her, which suggests she doesn't get a lot of real affirmation in her life.
