Kirumi Tojo

APPEARANCE - Kirumi is a tall, thin young woman with pale, ashy, sage-colored hair and long bangs that obscure her left eye (but her left eye is occasionally visible through it when she's expressing certain emotions). Her skin is fairly pale, and her eyes are of a pale, warm green color. Her maid uniform consists of a long black apron dress in a pinafore style with a spiderweb motif (possibly foreshadowing her execution), four white buttons along the middle of the torso of her dress, and the button of her previous high school's emblem on the left. A white dress is donned underneath her apron dress with a black collar, and a purple tie around her neck. The sleeves of her shirt have elegant frills at the end, which goes along with the bubble skirt appearance of her dress.

She wears a black headdress with black lace and frills attached to it, with four white pins on it, a common appearance that maids take up. She wears black, form-fitting gloves with silver rings attached to the back of her hands. Underneath her dress is a chic-combination of a petticoat with black lace and black tights, which she deems practical by not exposing her legs. She also wears grey, high-laced pinwheel shoes, the laces white and wrapped around her ankles and settling into a neat bow at her feet.

PERSONALITY - Kirumi is a refined, mature young lady who is described as "a professional who does a perfect job". She has a keen mind and she is talented in various ways, reportedly able to carry out any job, as well as being capable of independence and doing things on her own. She is polite and formal, as well as quite serious, and very willing to use all of her power to cooperate with others. She is intelligent, observant, and level-headed. Her intelligence can be shown when she is speculating. Her speculations are provided with a fact and thus they are quite hard to refute.

As a maid, Kirumi's creed is "selfless devotion". Thus, she has a very strong sense of duty and a will to work for the sake of others. She voluntarily does house work such as cleaning and preparing meals for the students, even making sure each time that there's both Japanese and Western cuisine. Because of this, the other students seem to have strong trust in her, and she tends to wait outside the dormitory in case anyone has any requests for her. She is also shown to be very considerate and often asks the others if they are doing all right and gives them some advice. Her concern and kindness is often described as "motherlike". She stated that she dislikes being called the "mom" of the group. Once she said that being called a mom can be taken as an insult for some women, including her.

On the other hand, Kirumi lacks the concept of doing something for herself, and for her even to have a conversation is a request. She believes her own opinions hold no importance. Despite her sense of duty, she does have a limit to what she is willing to do, declining requests such as destroying a nation, giving sexual services, or unfairly removing someone who hasn't done anything wrong from a public area. She has stated that while she is a maid, she is not a slave. It's shown that she wishes to be treated as an equal by a kind master she loves, but she fears it will hinder him and she feels guilty for having such feelings. When she and her feelings are fully accepted by someone, she finally lets her calm composure break and cries like a child in relief.

For the sake of the people who need her, Kirumi is willing to do some immoral acts like murder and manipulation if it is absolutely necessary in her mind. She is willing to bear the burden of being seen as evil for the sake of her nation and its people. She claimed that she murdered Ryoma after he turned around, convinced that he already knew what was going to happen and had surrendered to his fate, but she possibly just used this way of thinking as a way to excuse her actions to herself and others. She has a great sense of determination, so much so that during her execution, she went out of her way to escape the entire situation rather than just succumbing to death, believing that she cannot die until she makes sure that her people are safe. It's also heavily implied that she voted for Shuichi during the voting time merely out of spite because he was the one who exposed her and ruined her plan, showing that she does possess a petty side despite trying to appear dignified. Similarly, when her composure begun to break under correct accusations, she turned much more intense and aggressive, and used insulting words towards her opponents.

"I am Kirumi Tojo, the Ultimate Maid. Please let me know if you require my service." "I want to fulfill my duties as the Ultimate Maid." "I wish to serve everyone." "For you to make a false statement when our lives are at risk... I am not amused." "I hold no opinions or desires of which to speak. As a maid, my only desire is to fulfill the desires of others. So please, think about what you desire for yourself, and what you desire from me. No matter the situation, no matter what happens, I am here to serve everyone." "As I have said...my only desire is to fulfill the desires of others. Until we escape, I intend to serve everyone. If either of you have a request to make of me, please do not hesitate to ask." "So we cannot lose this fight... Even on this uncharted path, we must find our way." "Because I promised to do my best, I will fulfill that responsibility." "We can at least try to trust the Kaede we've come to know up to this point. Even if she did commit a crime, what Kaede has said to us is not a lie. She wanted to protect us, and I firmly believe that to be the truth. "A true maid must be able to adapt to any situation. Besides... I, too, intend to fulfill Kaede's request. So I will valiantly perform any task, trivial or otherwise." "...I do not mind. To serve others is a maid's duty." "Selfless devotion" is the principle by which I perform my responsibilities as a maid. I can cast aside my personal feelings for the sake of serving everyone." "Please let me know if you have a request. Given our situation, I will not take monetary payment. I will do anything you ask." "I will do my utmost to fulfill her request, for that is how a maid must conduct herself." "There is no need to thank me. Your happiness is the reason I serve." "I do not mind... Serving others is the true desire of any maid." "I do this for everyone. It is my duty to unveil the truth, so I do not care if people suspect me." "It is quite selfish to keep this information hidden because you were not in the mood." "If there is still a small chance of you being the culprit, I cannot trust you entirely. Because everyone's lives are at stake." "I cannot believe you would suspect me... If that is the case, then I will have to deny it. I will not let you make the wrong choice." "If you do believe it is me, are you prepared to stand by that decision? I will refute your accusations with all my might..for everyone's sake." "If it is for my sake...then it would be much easier to forfeit... But I cannot allow that! Because I must do this for everyone!" "I have...a duty and a responsibility... I must serve everyone and protect them... So I refuse to surrender! They won't forgive me if I do!" "I do not care what becomes of me, but I will not allow any of you to die. Because I made a promise to Kaede. She wished for all of us to escape together. I want to fulfill my duties as the Ultimate Maid. I wish to serve everyone. So, please believe me! You have to!" "What truth!? All you care about is your own reasoning! You don't even listen to others! I can't bet everyone's lives on a deduction made by a self-righteous brat! You can't save anyone!!!" "My pride as a maid demands that I fulfill every request that I receive. But, to end like this..." "Perhaps the truth will be easier to believe if you witness it with your own eyes." "I am Kirumi Tojo, the Ultimate Maid, and the most important people to me... ...are the citizens of this country!" "I was called upon to lift the country out a dire situation. I swore to serve and help all its citizens. As a maid, it is a great honor to serve the nation itself." "I needed to know that the most important people in my life were safe. Because I am duty and honorbound to protect every citizen of this nation! That is why...I needed to escape." "I would bear the burden of being seen as evil for the sake of my nation and its people. Because that is what it means to serve with selfless devotion. That's why I needed to survive. Sacrificing you all meant saving the lives of men, women, children, and elderly... I...wanted to live." "That's right... I must survive... Because...I carry the weight of an entire nation on my shoulders. I would not have killed Ryoma if I was so easily deterred. This request will not be fulfilled until I have brought joy to every citizen of this nation... So no matter what, I cannot die! That is why I killed Ryoma! Even now, I refuse to give up!" "I intend to live... I must survive...no matter what it takes... If I must debase myself, so be it! I would drink filth and eat carrion to survive! I will do anything—ANYTHING!—to survive!" "I have to escape! I won't die here! I will live! I refuse to die in a hellhole like this! For my nation! For my people! I WILL NOT DIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!"

"Even going about my usual tasks, there may very well be new discoveries with a new frame of mind. Right now, in fact, it's like I'm borrowing the strength of others for my own assignment. So please, do not hesitate to rely on me." "Precisely how immense are the possibilities you possess... Even I cannot say." "Photographs are amazing, yet terrifying, exposing one's least expected aspects..." "People often think of me as "helpful" because I am on the front lines, serving you directly. But the truth is, it takes the work of countless people I'll never know to allow me to do my job. What happens when the air conditioner breaks? When I need a new feature on my vacuum cleaner? The work you do, it helps far more people than you can ever imagine. I may not always be aware of the things workers like you do for me... ...but I am still grateful to know that you're out there somewhere, supporting me in your own way." "As a maid, being relied upon to such a degree is the greatest reward. Even if my master carries an entire kingdom on her shoulders, I shall support her with all my power." "With a fulfilled spirit, your body is similarly fueled." "Knowing that even I have friends I can rely upon, I feel as though I could fulfill any task." "My time at this camp has served as a reminder of just how many people I would like to support. But try as I might, there is only so much I can do at one time. With additional hands available to me, I could perform all the aid I want, and more efficiently." "A life spent in support of others is a life of immeasurable value." "My greatest lesson over the course of this camp...is that I still have growing to do."
