Peko Pekoyama

Peko has a serious demeanor, expressing very little emotion. Due to this aura, she often comes off as intimidating. She is neither impolite nor an antisocial person though she dislikes being in a crowd. She had no qualms about attending parties, and furthermore apologizes for what she felt was a failing on her part. She comes off as cold but this isn’t because she means to. As she revealed, she believed that she didn’t need to smile and therefore eventually forgot how to, and wanted to learn how to make her childhood friend happy. However, it is revealed that she does in fact still know how to smile, and simply is incapable of smiling on command.

Due to being raised as a “tool” for the Kuzuryu clan, Peko believes herself to be less than human and that her sole purpose is to carry out her master’s wishes. She recognizes his hate of relying on his family’s power, and concludes that he hates her for being the personification of that reliance. This further fuels her desire to be useful to him, and to try to make him happy.

Peko has a kind heart, and cares deeply about her master but also cares about those around her. She wishes nothing but good towards them, and is genuinely remorseful and saddened by betraying everyone, begging them to “not cause something senseless like this ever again”. In spite of her social anxiety she, is always polite and sweet-natured. She likes doing group activities with her friends and says she's truly glad that others are enjoying themselves because of her. Beyond believing she is his tool, her deep desire to protect her master also comes from how much she cares about him. This soft side of her is shown in, for example, her love for animals, especially fluffy ones.
