Anina

Anina is a recognized genius.

She has been an erudite since childhood, and even adult scholars revere her. Although Anina is taciturn, quiet and cute, sometimes she will mock others with a poker face.

Anina can't find common topics with her peers as she's too intelligent and knowledgeable. In such a situation, Anina is neither willing to lower her standards to cater to others, nor good at saying flattering words.

However, despite knowing she is inarticulate and mean, many people are still attracted by Anina's lovely appearance.

Anina is a daughter of the noble Suzaku family in Eastrise. She has been raised as the shadow of the eldest daughter of the family, Shiyu, since childhood. For the sake of her parents and elder sister, Anina accepted the plans made for her life without complaint.

The day Anina lost her parents symbolizes a turning point

in her life.

In order to help her elder sister, who raised her after their parents' death, Anina spared no effort to learn all kinds of knowledge. She read a lot of history and philosophy books. As a result, her thoughts are as clear as those of a person who is fully enlightened.

''I won't let my sister continue to worry about me,'' Anina said to herself.

The most powerful weapon she relies on is rich knowledge and her excellent mind that can use the knowledge freely. In order to survive on her own, she still studies hard until this day.

Anina sometimes thinks about what she would be like if she was born into an ordinary family.

If that were the case, she probably wouldn't think her peers and adults who are not as good as her are fools, and she could behave in a spoiled manner that suits her actual age with her family members.

Of course, this doesn't mean she wants ''her life to be like that''. Anina understands that no matter how she fancies, the reality won't change, even the assumption is meaningless.

Even so, Anina couldn't help but think about it on long and lonely nights.

On such a night, Anina will make a cup of coffee. She will cool the coffee with sugar and milk and sip it. This is also a recipe for Anina to change her mood.
