#chiyo vc: you want me dead?? fair go ahead :(

[diliqence]

maemi likes to put on a ditzy, bubbly sort of persona, but it's very different from how she acted growing up or even how she acted prior to her faked death. she was playful, yes, but she was also pretty quiet and calm. she was the person you sort of forgot was in your class until she spoke up, and after she became a criminal, her presence always felt heavy. unsettling. her silence and composure made it hard to tell what she might be thinking.

this new personality she's adopted is purely to sell people on " himari. " she can't be maemi for a while, so she has to make an effort to be someone different not only in looks but in essence. her true nature tends to bleed through here and there, though, and i think these slip-ups are likely unnerving for those who don't understand/know they're dealing with someone capable of great violence.

speaking of those who don't know her, i have to point out that maemi dyed her hair red and grew her hair out so that she could walk down the street without being easily recognized. she still tends to wear a medical mask to conceal part of her face, though. she also!! wears a cloak and bandages when appearing in public as a villain. it's a whole thing and a little dramatic bc she wants a grand reveal when she comes face to face with chiyo again. she's dying to see her look of surprise :' )
