Description
Ōgai Mori possesses a multifaceted background as a military doctor, novelist, translator, and bureaucrat. Born in Shimane Prefecture, his exceptional intellect emerged early, leading him to medical school at age 11 and graduation at the top of his class. His elite education encompassed extensive studies in medicine, literature, and languages. He maintains dual professional roles as a military doctor while pursuing literary work as a writer and translator.
His personality blends philanthropy and trust, characterized by high emotional intelligence that fosters safety and comfort in others. Alongside his generosity, he occasionally exhibits controlling tendencies, asserting dominance in interactions, such as declaring ownership over individuals under his roof. His demeanor mixes approachability with an undercurrent of authority.
He invites the time-traveling high school student Mei Ayazuki to reside with him. Initially proposing she pose as his fiancée to avert societal suspicion, their arrangement evolves into genuine mutual support. He aids Mei in navigating the complexities of the Meiji period while she assists him with personal and supernatural challenges.
Confronting the spirit manifestation Elise forms a central emotional arc. Elise embodies a figure he admired during his time in Germany, later becoming a character in his literary works. This spirit represents unresolved emotions or memories from his overseas experiences, intertwining his German past with his present life in Japan.
His personal habits include a preference for outdoor baths and consuming steamed buns with tea or fruit compote. He practices nudity within his home, a habit considered eccentric and ahead of its time which occasionally alienates others. He avoids public bathhouses and expresses distaste for raw food and miso-cooked mackerel.
Within his household, he resides with the artist Shunso Hishida, observing the artist's struggles and health concerns with a mix of exasperation and tacit admiration. This cohabitation highlights his role as a supportive yet reserved figure.
