Mori Ougai is a celebrated military physician, administrator, and writer known for balancing serious professional responsibilities with an unexpectedly playful, eccentric personality. He's genuinely reliable despite—or maybe because of—carrying so much weight on his shoulders, and he's been candid about feeling the strain of living up to what society expects from someone of his status.
He's genuinely curious about new ideas and has real respect for Western culture and thinking. He's drawn to unconventional people, particularly the main heroine, whose quirky nature appeals to him far more than the typical refined manners he encounters elsewhere.
