Faint Aroma Ryōshū

Appearance: Ryōshū is a woman of average height and build, with straight black hair in a bob cut style and sharp red eyes, which at times can be seen glowing. She wears a pink, wide-brimmed hat with a single green leaf on it, and her face is entirely obscured by pink flowers running down the brim. She has a pair of bright blue gloves on her hands and wears a long dress covered in pink flower-filled cracks.

Along with this, she typically carries around a sheathed ōdachi titled Arayashiki (阿頼耶識), with the words 無我夢中 阿鼻叫喚 支離滅裂 (mugamuchū abikyōkan shirimetsuretsu, "Wading through a dream, the self nowhere to be found. Like the Naraka of Avīci and Raurava. Severed and torn until even the form is undone.") across it. The ōdachi's hilt is golden, and decorated with a butterfly pattern. The end of the sheath is wrapped in a red ribbon. In other Mirror Worlds, Ryōshū typically wields a separate weapon, while noticeably still carrying her sheathed ōdachi.

Personality: Ryōshū has an individualistic, free-spirited, and somewhat sadistic personality. She feels little obligation to uphold common courtesies like politeness or attentiveness, and near the beginning of the game, the majority of her comments are hostile or violent in nature. Even among the Sinners, Ryōshū comes off as strikingly unfriendly and forthright, preferring to live at her own peculiar pace. While willing to back down if given the order, Ryōshū loathes being told what to do, which she's not afraid to make clear to Dante and Faust.

Ryōshū starts out as one of the least talkative members of the LCB, and one who is easily frustrated. She labels herself as someone who dislikes butting in,[5] and tends to scoff at the others for overthinking matters or sentimentality. Oftentimes, she sees the rest of the Sinners as ignorant for not understanding "true artwork", which, for Ryōshū, typically involves gruesome murder. When she does speak, her words almost always include a form of SANGRIA (abbreviation). Though she presents the choice as a form of efficiency, this is later revealed to be a habit she picked up from her daughter. Ryōshū grows very irritated whenever these acronyms are misunderstood, even despite the fact she seems largely unconcerned with how other people perceive her.

The woman's abbreviations also give her the chance to engage in wordplay, one of several habits which demonstrate a penchant for humor. While there are times where Ryōshū is depicted as genuinely stoked to engage in bloodshed and suffering, other occasions paint her as purposefully over-the-top, finding enjoyment in acting provocatively and getting a reaction out of people. For Ryōshū, teasing seems to be a form of bonding, though not one easily understood by those around her.

Occupation: Sinner No. 5 of the LCB

Ryōshū's SANGRIA (Korean: 만단지예, "Mandanjiye"; Japanese: 万短至芸, "Bantanshigei") work similarly to Japanese Yojijukugo or Korean Sajaseong-eo—idioms made up of no more than 4 characters each. However, rather than using the actual meanings of the characters to form compound words or idiomatic phrases, she is forming abbreviations using their literal pronunciation sounds. This is a list of all of the ones Ryōshū uses across the game.

As many of Ryōshū's acronyms are left vague within the text, not all of them can be translated with certainty. Here, "confirmed" refers to SANGRIA that are explicitly translated in-game; "highly likely" to easy solutions anyone could agree upon but go untranslated in-game; "presumed" to reasonable but untranslated solutions that have room for alternative interpretations; and "conjecture" to the best (but shaky) guesses for extremely difficult, low-context SANGRIA.

Ryōshū addresses others by crude nicknames, including: Character Nickname(s) Faust "White hair" Don Quixote "D.Q." (Don Quixote) Hong Lu "Rich kid" Heathcliff "Whiny brat", "H.C.", "Bats" Ishmael "Orange hair" Sinclair "Kid", "kiddo", "champagne hair", "M.T.L" (My Translator), S.C. Gregor "B.G." (Bug Guy), "C.F." (Crawling Furball), "old fart"

Ryōshū's particulars are listed as "has an aesthetic sense" and "chain-smoker" by the higher ups
