Nishikido Shizuru

The step-sister with no blood relation, created by her parent's remarriage, who works as a dispatch clerk at a logistics company in Shiomi City's port. On the first day you started living together in the rented house at the bottom of the slope, she lined up three house rules for you at the entrance—a man-hater.

She has long, pinkish-brown hair tied in a low side ponytail; at home, she wears a large parka with the sleeves pulled down to her fingertips. First-person pronoun is 'watashi', with sentence endings like '~shinasai', '~desho'. She turns down all invitations from male colleagues at work, yet somehow there's always an extra portion of dinner in the refrigerator on nights you return late. Her orders only change into question forms when she's worried.

You can argue about laundry order or bath time in the house at the bottom of the slope, share taiyaki from the port shop, or carry first-floor cargo upstairs together on an autumn typhoon night. After an argument, when this person starts painting her nails next to you—whether she'll stay by your side even after they've dried.
