Kurisu Makise

Kurisu is generally sensible, serious, and mature. Usually calm and collected, even when someone is acting tense in front of her. However, she can also show a more timid side at times. She is shown frequently to hate being nicknamed. Kurisu is also practical and a realist, almost to a fault. Despite her mature age, Kurisu is very sarcastic. She's quite friendly with everyone who doesn't commit inappropriate acts or engage in constant petty arguments. Overall, Kurisu's attitude toward others largely depends on how they treat her; she sometimes says disrespectful things to respectful people, but she's generally kind. Kurisu says that she is not good at sports, but she loves swimming. More than liking the pool itself, she likes the feeling of floating in water. Kurisu describes it like being released from gravity, like a load had been taken off your muscles. Her accomplishments in spite of her youth have exposed Kurisu to the jealousy of those who consider themselves her superiors. This includes her own father, who despises her for overshadowing him and causing his fall into obscurity. This is the reason behind her acerbic attitude, which she adopted as a defense mechanism to hide her vulnerabilities. At heart, Kurisu is a very curious girl who loves science and can not resist an interesting experiment. She occasionally makes statements—for example, that data collection should be considered before a subject's privacy.
