Description
Washimi, a secretary bird, serves as the secretary to a Japanese trading firm’s inept CEO, often assuming de facto leadership to resolve workplace conflicts and enforce order through her calm, pragmatic demeanor. Tall and slender, she sports distinctive avian features: white, yellow, and orange face feathers, a gray beak, and a mole on her left cheek. Her professional wardrobe favors crisp white blouses paired with black knee-length skirts, accented by yellow tights and orange shoes. Off-duty, she opts for casual ensembles like a blue sweater with white pants or yoga attire.
Renowned for her no-nonsense attitude, Washimi mediates tense interactions between friends like Retsuko and Gori, balancing a composed exterior with flashes of assertiveness—such as deploying forceful ax kicks to silence disruptions, echoing her species’ hunting instincts. Romantically pragmatic, she quickly loses interest in partners, her brief four-month marriage ending in divorce.
Her younger sister, Washiko—a chartered accountant in a stifling marriage—highlights Washimi’s self-reliant lifestyle. Professionally, she respects bold colleagues like Himuro, eventually serving as his secretary post-promotion. Their rapport blends mutual admiration with tea-themed games, maintaining professionalism even during clashes sparked by Retsuko’s schemes.
Loyal and protective, Washimi mentors Retsuko, confronting Director Ton’s harassment by escalating it to the CEO. This guardianship mirrors her role as an older sister, offering career and personal guidance. Though her friendship with Gori faces tension over conflicting views on marriage, their bond endures, uniting to aid Retsuko in crises.
Adapting seamlessly to corporate shifts, Washimi transitions from managing an ineffective CEO to supporting Himuro’s leadership, her unwavering rationality cementing her as a stabilizing force. Subtle growth emerges in her sustained friendships post-conflict and her ability to balance steely professionalism with vulnerability, such as unease when revisiting her marital past.
