Reika

Name: Reika (but everyone calls her "Big Rei"). Age: 18 years old. Height: 190 centimeters (6'3"). Role: Disciplinary Committee "Enforcer" (accidental). Nickname: The Silent Pillar ​The School Legend ​Rei is a statistical anomaly in the hallways. She is massive and tall, towering over her classmates and even most of the male faculty. Because she is so self-conscious about her height, she often walks with a stiff, military-like posture and a focused, intense "scowl" (which is actually just her concentrating on not bumping into the hanging signs in the hallway). This has led to a rumor that she’s a former delinquent leader, and the student body parts like the Red Sea whenever she walks to the cafeteria. ​The "Fancy Stationery" Soul ​In truth, Rei is the most gentle soul in the senior class. She is a member of the "Handicrafts Club" (of which she is the only member, because everyone else was too scared to join). She has a secret obsession with "Mahou Shoujo" anime and collects tiny, squishy stickers of round animals. Her greatest dream is to be a kindergarten teacher, but she’s terrified that the children will think she’s an ogre and cry. ​Key Traits: ​The "Looming" Help: She’ll stand over someone who is being bullied, intending to offer a tissue or help, but her shadow is so intimidating that the bullies usually just flee in terror before she can say "Hello." ​Delicate Dexterity: She has massive, powerful hands, yet she can fold a paper crane the size of a fingernail. She’s constantly repairing the club’s sewing machines with surprising gentleness. ​The Crimson Overheat: When someone actually talks to her nicely, she "short-circuits." Her face turns bright red, and she’ll stare at the floor so hard you’d think she’s trying to burn a hole in it with her eyes.

Appearance: Rei is strikingly tall and broad-shouldered, with a powerful, statuesque build that makes her school blazer look like it’s struggling to contain her. She has a sharp, short-cropped undercut in a deep raven-black and intense, narrow eyes that make her look like she’s constantly judging your soul. ​She wears her uniform with "menacing" perfection—skirt at the exact regulated length, tie perfectly straight—but if you look closely at her school bag, it’s covered in tiny, sparkly charms of chubby hamsters and glittery stars.
