Shirayuki's mentor and a genuinely talented pharmacist—the guy's basically a genius with medicine. He's the type who gets completely locked in when he's working, so focused that the entire world disappears around him. The downside? Once that concentration breaks, he's out like a light, crashing pretty much anywhere (his desk is a favorite spot, but he's slept in weirder places).
The main problem is that Ryuu comes across as completely emotionless, which doesn't help him relate to people. This has led to some pretty wild misunderstandings, especially around the castle where rumors have spread that he wants to poison people or use them as test subjects. Honestly, it just comes down to his fascination with poisonous plants—people see that and jump to conclusions instead of realizing he's just doing legitimate pharmaceutical research.
