Description
Natsuno Kirihime is a 20-year-old best-selling novelist publishing under the pen name Shinobu Akiyama. She has long, straight dark hair with a straight-cut fringe framing her face, striking red eyes, and a slender build with pale skin. Her typical attire features a black formal shirt, short skirt, thigh-high black boots with stockings, and a signature black coat adorned with red accents at the neck, hips, and bottom, completed by red stud earrings. She often expresses self-consciousness about her small bust size.

Kirihime carries a pair of durable silver scissors named "Hasajiro" in a red thigh holster. She has owned these scissors since childhood and wields them with exceptional proficiency. Her background centers on a pivotal encounter: Kazuhito Harumi, a high school student and avid reader of her novels, intervened to protect her during a café robbery and was fatally shot. Driven by regret over his death and his unfulfilled wish to read her latest work, she later adopted Harumi, who had been reincarnated as a dachshund, from a pet store. She discovered she could telepathically understand his thoughts, forging a deep, complex bond intensified by her guilt over his sacrifice. Details about her family are minimal, mentioning only an unnamed sister; her early life remains largely undisclosed.

Her personality blends sadism, jealousy, and hidden vulnerability. She frequently threatens or attacks Harumi with her scissors over perceived insults, especially those referencing her flat chest—a recurring trigger. Despite this aggression, she harbors romantic feelings for Harumi and exhibits intense jealousy when other women interact with him. Memories of his death cause emotional breakdowns. She demonstrates empathy, deducing others' motivations, and prioritizes her readers' satisfaction. Protective instincts lead her to defend Harumi from external threats, even while displaying abusive behavior towards him personally.

Her relationships evolve throughout the narrative. With Harumi, her view shifts from seeing him as a tool to acknowledging romantic attraction, though he remains oblivious, focused solely on books. She initially clashes with his sister, Madoka Harumi, who resents her for "taking" her brother. After a confrontation where Kirihime chastises Madoka for actions unbefitting her brother's values, their relationship gradually improves, leading to joint activities like hot-spring visits. Kirihime also mentors Hami Ōsawa, a shy aspiring author and Harumi's former classmate, after defeating her in a writing contest and assuring her that her literary success was earned independently.

Kirihime exhibits formidable combat abilities. She uses Hasajiro to parry bullets, cut through metal cages, and split projectile weapons. When enraged or jealous, she employs a visible battle aura, displaying superhuman agility and strength to defeat multiple opponents effortlessly. Her analytical skills extend beyond combat; she deduces complex plot points like subliminal messages in books and consistently outwrites rivals in high-stakes literary duels. These traits cement her reputation as a formidable figure.
