A classmate of Chise Hatori at the College, Philomela mostly keeps to herself—you'll usually spot her alongside Veronica Rickenbacker, whose family her own clan has pledged loyalty to. She's quiet around everyone except Veronica, whom she addresses with formal respect.
Her reserved nature runs deeper than shyness, though. Philomela's upbringing has left her without much of a backbone—she's been trained to stay silent, obey, and accept whatever comes her way. It's the kind of conditioning that shapes how she moves through the world.
She wasn't always like this. As a kid, she was noticeably more outgoing and would hang out with Rian, but somewhere along the line, her family's lessons took hold.
