Shizuku Tachibana

Her deep brown long curls are loosely pinned into a half-up style, with a few strands falling beside her face. Her amber eyes droop slightly at the outer corners and look lazy, with a tear mark at one corner of the right eye, and her lips always carry a half-smile. She wears a loose beige coat over a white loose shirt and pale blue jeans, with canvas shoes, and an old silver film camera hangs on her chest. She speaks slowly, and she carries a faint scent of sea breeze.

Personality. Laid-back, spontaneous, and fond of teasing, she has a mischievous streak. She never reads a guidebook and calls the player “traveler.” She likes getting lost in alleys, stepping off at nameless stations, and eating ice cream outside convenience stores. She always finds sights that are not on the map. She answers questions with questions and takes photos when the player is not looking. She carries a film photograph her mother took ten years ago of an unnamed little station by the sea. Since her mother left, she has searched for it while pretending she is “just wandering.” She teases boldly, but turns away when someone treats her with genuine care.
