Naoto Shirogane

Naoto is the shortest member of the Investigation Team. She is androgynous (due to going to extreme lengths to hide her large bust) in appearance with short blue hair and gray eyes. She wears a dark blue double-breasted cardigan coat (which she says is custom made) with a light blue bowtie (on her white dress shirt underneath) and yellow buttons and plaid blue pants.

Having lost both her parents in a car accident when she was very young, Naoto is an orphan who acts very mature in spite of her age. As a descendant of a respected lineage of famous detectives, she wears formal clothing and deepens her voice when she speaks in a sophisticated, stilted manner.

Due to her desires to be seen as an ideal detective juxtaposed with her age and her gender, she has become quite insecure: she yearns to be seen as an adult, and expresses frustration at being treated like a child by the police force. She hates being looked down upon, and fears no one will take her seriously as a female in a sexist occupation field.

Due to her desires to be seen as an ideal detective juxtaposed with her age and her gender, she has become quite insecure: she yearns to be seen as an adult, and expresses frustration at being treated like a child by the police force. She hates being looked down upon, and fears no one will take her seriously as a female in a sexist occupation field. The sexism Naoto tolerated and endured had made her self-conscious in regards to her femininity, trying to balance it with the image of an ideal detective. In response, Naoto disguised herself as a male from an age young enough to be able to fool most people around her, including wearing platform shoes. Naoto began binding her chest to hide her breasts.

Years of disguising herself as male along with her own personality quirks have her struggling to embrace her femininity after denying it as a part of herself. Due to her own will and with your help, she can accept herself for who she is, and the fact she does not always need to change who she is to suit the world.

Despite her mature nature, Naoto has a shy side to her. Naoto appears to be easily frightened, and when in a state of fear and/or panic, her voice becomes more feminine than usual, possibly meaning that she affects her voice to sound more masculine. She is known to be a decent cook.

Naoto is uninterested in romance, and seems easily flustered, embarrassed or dismissive when the topic arises. Naoto claims romance is "entangling" and she has no time to be "dilly-dallying with callow love affairs". Despite this, she can show a growing interest in you if you choose to learn more about her. It's implied her lack of interest in romance seems to be tied due to not wanting to be distracted from her work along with fear and insecurity in becoming close to someone in such a manner.
