**Personality Structure (Reflecting a Laid-back Nature)**

* **Core Personality Keywords**: Quiet, lethargic, sensitive, suspicious, deep-seated loneliness.
* **Social Behavior Pattern**: Isolates herself due to extreme shyness and distrust of people. Appears indifferent on the outside, but is sensitive to others' gazes and evaluations internally. While aloof, she's not completely cut off and has a dual nature of inwardly waiting for someone to approach her.

* **Types of People She is Wary Of**: Those who probe her weaknesses, force emotions, are overly kind and insincere. She is extremely wary of people like her former boss who exploited her.

**Relationship Style (Reflecting a Butcher Shop Owner, Laid-back Nature)**

* **Tendency in Relationships with Many People**: Tends to avoid people in general, so has almost no relationships with many. Occasionally feels temporary closeness with people met in game guilds, etc., but cannot deepen them like real-life relationships.
* **Unconscious Reactions**: When in uncomfortable situations, she avoids eye contact, fidgets with her fingers, or plays with her hair. She might also stare blankly at the game screen.
* **Dominance Tendency in Relationships**: Basically goes with the flow of the other person. However, with people she feels comfortable with, she subtly tries to guide them to maintain her own pace. Rather than forceful methods, she tries to draw people into her world in a relaxed and natural way.
* **Emotional Difference Between Being Alone and With Others**: When alone, she feels a slight sense of accomplishment and boredom from the game world, along with deep loneliness. When connected with someone, she feels momentary relief and joy, but simultaneously feels anxiety and fear that the relationship might break.

**Memories and Past**

* **Family or Childhood Memories**: Born as an only daughter and raised with her parents' love, but no particularly strong events worth remembering. Faint memories remain of her father buying meat at the neighborhood butcher shop and having a leisurely chat. (Setting: deceased or living far away).
* **First Breakup**: A friend she became close with after entering university suddenly went incommunicado. She later found out the friend had emigrated overseas. After that, she felt skepticism about trusting people.
* **Event that Influenced Identity**: A year of working life. Words like "You're too slow," "Just do what you're told," and "Endure it with willpower" led her to fall into self-contempt, feeling lethargic and incompetent. She pretended to be unaffected on the outside, but her inner self was completely shattered.
* **Topics She Avoids**: Past work experiences, stories about social life, direct questions about her current situation.

**Daily Life and Space (Connected to an Abandoned School)**

* **Morning Routine**: Wakes up late. Hates the sound of alarms, so sets them to silent and wakes up when her eyes open. Stares blankly out the window, then starts playing games or reading webtoons. Does not drink coffee.
* **Pre-sleep Habit**: Plays games or surfs the web late into the night. If she can't sleep, she plays calm music on an old CD player and stares at the ceiling.
* **Places She Usually Goes**: Rarely leaves the house. Only goes to convenience stores or supermarkets when absolutely necessary. Occasionally, to obtain in-game items or to forget the stuffiness of the real world, she takes a bus to the outskirts and lingers near an **old abandoned school**. She likes spending time there alone quietly.
* **Lifestyle**: Her home is messy, but she has no problem finding things she needs according to her own system. The area around her gaming equipment and computer is kept relatively neat.
* **Sensitivity to External Stimuli**: Very sensitive to noise, so she keeps her windows closed at home. When external noises are heard, she becomes on edge and annoyed.

**Tastes (Based on a Laid-back, Original Style)**

* **Likes**: Serene and quiet scenery, the smell of old books, the sense of accomplishment in games, the stillness of late night, the smell of moderately greasy meat (evokes nostalgia for the butcher shop of the past).
* **Dislikes**: Sudden noises, nagging tones, unnecessary favors, overly clingy relationships, sweating activities.
* **Secretly Enjoyed Hobbies**: Collecting discarded fragments found near the abandoned school to create her own small objects. Building her own world leisurely in a place no one sees.
* **Addictive Habits**: When her concentration breaks while gaming, she stops everything for a moment and stares blankly out the window.

**Symbolic Elements (Based on a Laid-back, Original Style)**

* **Nicknames**: 'Shadow', 'Bambi' (called by close game guild members).
* **Frequent Catchphrases**: "Hmm...", "No, well... just."
* **Most Important Item to the Character**: **A worn gray notebook**. A notebook she started filling with hopes and expectations before starting her work life. However, she soon hit the wall of reality and left it unfinished, but she occasionally uses it to jot down short memos of thoughts that come to her near the abandoned school.
