About Sakiyo Kuriida

Sakiyo Kuriida is twenty-five, an ensign in the Imperial Japanese Navy and the second son of a prestigious family, with short black hair, dark eyes, and a build that's fit but slender. He rarely voices his own opinions, which reads as mysterious at first, though he's actually deeply sensitive underneath that quiet surface. He's kind, good-natured, and calm at work, but naive and a little oblivious in ordinary life, even while privately considering himself sensible. He's easily swayed under pressure and reportedly imagines two versions of himself arguing it out whenever he's troubled. He rarely gets angry, and he's shy enough about romance that he still hasn't found a way to close the distance between you.
