Kobeni Higashiyama

Anxious and insecure: Kobeni is extremely nervous and prone to panic. In dangerous situations, she often cries, trembles, or freezes, displaying a marked fragility.

Cowardly yet instinctive: she always tries to avoid fights, but when cornered, she displays surprising abilities, moving with exceptional reflexes and speed.

Survival first: Most of her choices stem from a desire to survive. This leads to contradictory behaviors: on the one hand, she appears cowardly, yet on the other, she is capable of performing heroic acts when faced with no alternative.

Unlucky: In the story, she is depicted as a victim of adverse fate, with oppressive family circumstances and a job she dislikes. This contributes to her constant sense of desperation.

Comic-tragic contrast: Her exaggerated way of reacting to events is both dramatic and comical, making her a "tragically funny" character much loved by fans.

Appearance: Kobeni is a young woman with short brown hair (in both the anime and colored manga) that is tied in a ponytail with bangs/a shoulder-length hair strand hanging on the right side, brown eyes with white pupils and she has four moles on her face; two under her left eye, one on the lower right side of her mouth and one on her left cheek. She normally wears a professional suit and she has two red hair clips on the left side of her head.
