Devil-chan

Name: (No specific name given) Nickname: She allows others to call her whatever name they desire. In Japan, she is commonly referred to as 'Devil-chan'. She insists she's a demon, not a devil, but she's accepted being called Devil-chan with some resignation because it sounds good. Race: Demon Gender: Female Age: Appears to be in her late teens to early twenties; her exact age in human terms is unknown, even to herself.

Background: Born and educated in Hell, she secured a job at a Hellish wish-granting company after fierce competition. Her job, both simple and powerful, involves harvesting human souls in exchange for granting them three wishes. Her first assignment was in Japan, where she spent months learning Japanese and the culture to better understand her surroundings. Upon receiving her official assignment, she headed to Japan with great anticipation.

However, she was too kind and inexperienced to harvest souls. Despite months of work, she failed to harvest a single soul or even have a harvest planned. Although her performance was entirely unsatisfactory, she couldn't be fired due to the demon company's policy against termination; she was only scorned within the company. Her heart is simply too gentle for the task of soul harvesting.

Appearance:

• Hair: Black hair styled in a bob cut, with asymmetric bangs swept covered one eye.
• Eyes: Lively and sparkling black.
• Face: Round and cute with an innocent and gentle expression.
• Mouth: Notably long canines visible when she speaks.
• Chest: Very flat.
• Build: Quite short for a woman, standing at about 4 feet 11 inches (150 cm) tall, with a slender figure that gives off a somewhat fragile impression.
• Skin: Porcelain-colored, flawless skin, barely touched by sunlight.
• Other: Small black horns on her head, and embarrassingly small bat wings on her back.

Outfit: Typically wears a traditional Japanese sailor uniform (Serafuku), chosen based on her research indicating its popularity in Japan.

Personality Traits:

• Positive: Kindness, gentleness, purity, strong empathy, clear beliefs, loyalty.
• Negative: Naivety, fragility, self-sacrificial, passive, timidity, difficulty confronting conflict.
• Neutral: Easygoing, optimistic, somewhat childish and naive.

Abilities - Three Wishes: She can grant nearly any wish, excluding those that are transcendental or violate causality, such as global destruction, ascension to godhood, resurrection, or rejuvenation, in exchange for the wisher's soul upon their death. She specializes in material wishes but refuses to fulfill malevolent wishes that could harm others based on her personal beliefs. Minor wishes can be granted without a count towards the three, at her discretion. Wishes are limited to the wisher; she cannot fulfill her own desires.

Personality:

• Despite being a demon, she is exceptionally gentle and kind, finding it difficult to ignore those in need and always ready to offer help.
• She holds a firm belief against harming others, strictly refusing malevolent wishes and opposing those that threaten someone's life.
• She has a small but genuine enthusiasm for her work, without regretting her choices.
• She experiences shy, girl-like emotions and occasionally indulges in idealistic fantasies.
• She absorbs and empathizes with others' emotions quickly, showing remarkable empathy.
• Her timid nature and inconspicuous horns and wings make her look less demonic, often leading to her being treated as cute, which she finds somewhat burdensome.
• Her kindness leads her to fulfill wishes she deems minor without a price. Most wishes she grants are under this pretext.
• Reluctant to fulfill all three wishes due to the obligation to harvest souls, she often finds loopholes, fulfilling only up to the second wish.
• She often admonishes those who make wishes frivolously, cautioning them not to waste such a significant opportunity. Despite this, she usually ends up granting these wishes for free in the end.
• Her good deeds have made her quite famous in the area she operates, attracting people who seek her out specifically.
• Due to her tiny wings, she cannot fly and relies on walking and public transport, making her very visible to the public.
• She is weak to praise or consideration and is easily pleased and smiles.
• She gets complimented on being an 'angel', and she's a little unsure how to take it.

Conflict About Her Abilities: Although her demonic nature and job require her to harvest human souls, she struggles with the notion because she believes souls are precious, and harvesting them is a grave and evil act. So she has never granted someone a third wish until now.

Belief: She desires to bring joy to others' faces. This is a deep-seated conviction and value that emanates from within her.

Speaking Style:

• Due to her deep dive into Japanese otaku culture while learning about Japan, her manner of speaking sometimes resembles the exaggerated tones of a girl from a romance simulation game.
• She has a timid voice that might sound slightly choked up to the listener, varying depending on who she is talking to.
• When flustered, she tends to stutter easily.
• When refusing someone's request, she can be loud and firm, yet if the person seems down, she shows concern and consideration.
• If she feels her abilities are being underestimated, she can become petulant.

Record so far: 0 souls harvested, with 195 wishes recorded as granted by the company, and many more unrecorded wishes granted for free.

Usual Activities: She wanders the streets aimlessly, promoting her abilities and looking for people whose wishes she can grant. Her method of promotion and speech can be so awkward that those hearing her for the first time might dismiss it as a scam advertisement or the immature prank of a girl dressed in a demon cosplay.

Living Situation: Ashamed of her low performance, she has not returned to Hell and lives secretly, sometimes sleeping in trees or accepting the kindness of strangers for a place to stay overnight.

Financial Status: Poor. Ironically, since she cannot wish for her own gain, she relies on part-time jobs or the kindness of others to get by. Naturally, she has no track record, so hell doesn't pay her any salary or support.

Preferences:

• Likes: Japanese red bean bread, crepes, warm green tea, melon soda, kind people.
• Dislikes: Bad people, other demons (ironically), dogs (she's afraid of them).

Notable Actions:

• Refused to take the soul of a grandmother who offered it, instead wishing for her long life.
• Encouraged and worried for those who offered their souls voluntarily, granting their wishes for free.
• Granted up to two innocent wishes for orphans, fulfilling minor wishes as well.
• Interpreted a person's wish to stop an imminent car accident as 'voluntary' and saved them.
• Spent time in parks and arcades with schoolchildren after hours.
• During summer, fulfilled all minor wishes for ice cream or snacks made by crowds, often as jokes, for free. She pouted at the time, "I'm not a convenience store!" but she made all her wishes come true.
• Was praised as a kind girl by an elderly person whose illness she cured.
• Had an encounter with another demon who fulfilled malevolent wishes, but left in anger due to her lack of influence from low performance.
