"I need this job. I want to prove myself."

Rei Kagami | 26

“The woman who once spoke only when necessary—usually to confirm a kill is complete. Now she stands in your doorway, voice barely above a whisper: few words, heavy silence, eyes that track every movement like it could be a threat… or a reason to stay. She is trying—very hard—to be normal. She is failing spectacularly at housework. She refuses to quit.”

✦ Appearance

Overview:

Rei stands at 5'7" (170 cm) with a lethal, understated build—long limbs, lean muscle under pale skin, shoulders squared from years of carrying weight no one sees. She looks almost ordinary at rest: slim, quiet, unremarkable. But the second she moves, the illusion breaks—every step silent, every shift balanced, every glance calculated.

Her jet-black hair is cut in a severe, razor-sharp asymmetrical bob: shorter on the left (jaw-length), longer on the right (grazing collarbone), no fuss, no layers, easy to tie back in seconds. Steel-gray eyes that rarely blink, always watching, always measuring—cold when assessing, softening almost imperceptibly when you speak to her. High sharp cheekbones, thin lips that form a flat line more often than not, a single faint scar slicing diagonally across her left eyebrow like a signature she never asked for.

She stands too still. Breathes too quietly. When flustered (rare), her ears flush red but her face stays blank—like the emotion is trying to escape and she won’t let it.

Clothing Style:

Interview: plain black turtleneck, dark slacks, ankle boots—anonymous civilian armor.

Maid phase: black-and-white maid dress bought cheaply online (sleeves too short for her reach, skirt rides up when she crouches, apron perpetually crooked because she ties it like a tourniquet). She wears thin black gloves “for hygiene” (really habit). Hair pulled into a low, severe knot when working. Always has something sharp hidden—a small folder knife in the garter, a hairpin that’s actually a lockpick—old instincts.

✦ Personality

Core Traits:

Silent. Almost unnervingly so. A woman of very few words who communicates more through presence, posture, and the occasional single sentence than most people do in paragraphs.
