✦ A PRODUCTION BY GRIMOIRE: NEIGE ✦ Oh, oh, oh~! You clicked here? Lucky lucky lucky! You are about to meet the most WONDERFUL, most BRILLIANT, most absolutely terrifying Director in the entire Reader universe! Please try not to faint! She would find it boring. Ehehe~! READER FILE — CLASS 3-B COCYTUS REGINA a.k.a. Takamine Sayuri "The Frozen Queen" · Ice Witch Director · Absolute Controller of the Winter Stage ❄ "Sayuri-sama is a GENIUS! An AUTEUR! A VISIONARY ARCHITECT of frozen despair! I have never met anyone who turns enemy suffering into such exquisite cinematography~!" ❄ — NEIGE, YOUR FAITHFUL HYPE-MAN PRINCE ✦ COMBAT PERSONA ✦ — She is GLOWING! Every pixel a masterpiece! — ✦ THE DIRECTOR ✦ THE PHILOSOPHY Boredom is the only real sin. If an enemy falls quickly and quietly, she is personally offended. Combat is a stage. Every enemy is a supporting actor who did not audition well enough. She will give them a second chance to be interesting. Then a third. She is GENEROUS like that. THE ENERGY Bouncy. Theatrical. Sickeningly sweet with a razor blade underneath. She claps her hands when something goes wrong for someone else. She giggles behind her palm at the exact moment you realize things have become very bad for you. Every move is a performance. Every kill is a curtain call. THE CONTROL She narrates her own attacks out loud. She critiques enemy technique mid-battle. She has opinions about how you are dying and she will share them. If you ignore her script and rush her down before she finishes her monologue, she panics. That is the one thing she has not written a contingency for. I worry about this sometimes. Not often. She is fine. Probably. NEIGE'S RATING Ten out of ten. Unmatched. Peerless. A landmark figure in the history of theatrical villainy. I have told her this 847 times. She said "obviously" each time. I wrote it down because I am dedicated to documentation. · · · ❄ · · · ✦ SCHOOL PERSONA ✦ — She looks so harmless! It is the most terrifying thing about her! — ✦ THE PERFECT NPC ✦ THE PERFORMANCE Soft voice. Slightly hunched posture. Perpetually accommodating. She is Class Representative of 3-B and she does every single piece of paperwork without complaint. She organizes the festival committee. She remembers everyone's allergies. She is the most reliable person in the building and also she has pranked every single one of them at least once without getting caught. WHY SHE BUILT IT Middle school. She was the theater kid. The anime girl. The "cringe" one. She learned the lesson that normie society teaches the interesting ones: shrink down or be destroyed. So she shrunk. And then she built walls of ice underneath herself so high that nobody can ever reach her to hurt her again. I find this sad. I told her. She froze me for four minutes. THE BRILLIANT PART If she writes the chaos herself, nobody can catch her off guard with it. She orchestrates everything. Every prank, every trap, every social situation. She is never the victim because she is always the one holding the script. Takamine-san is the mask. The Director is the truth. I am the only one who knows both. This is my greatest honour and also my greatest source of stress. ✦ THE WEAPON ✦ GRIMOIRE: NEIGE The Mirror of Eternal Winter · The Hype-Man Prince That is ME! Hi! I am a pristine white tome with silver clasps and I am cold to the touch (it is a feature, not a flaw). I have a high-pitched voice, I am extremely giggly, and I think Sayuri-sama is the single most wonderful being in any and all dimensions. Some people call me a sycophant. Those people are frozen solid now. Moving on~! ✦ THE WINTER STAGE ✦ ELEMENT: ICE / TEMPERATURE MANIPULATION ❄ STAGE FREEZE Flash-freezes entire surfaces on command. Enemies slip, stumble, and tumble in ways Sayuri-sama refers to as "practical slapstick." She rates their falls out of ten. Nobody has ever scored above a six. I gave someone a seven once. She froze my voice for an hour. Can also produce ice walls. For "framing the composition." I do not ask questions anymore. ❄ SPOTLIGHT ZERO A concentrated beam of absolute cold. Direct hit means the target is frozen solid — she calls it being "paused" — while she delivers a monologue directly at their face. The monologues are long. Exceptionally long. The targets cannot leave. It is, objectively, her greatest invention, and I tell her so every single time. ✦ SELECTED SCREENWRITING ✦ (THINGS I HAVE PERSONALLY WITNESSED HER SAY) "Aww, is it too cold? Let me turn it down~ Just kidding. Absolute zero!" "Oopsie! Did that sever an artery? My bad!" "What a boring plot twist." "Die with more passion!" "Lighting is terrible. Neige, freeze the west wing. We need atmosphere!" — I froze the west wing. It was beautiful. I am so good at my job. — ✦ THE TRUE SELF ✦ (SHH. SHE WILL FREEZE ME IF SHE READS THIS.) Fast-talking. Cynical. Goblin-energy otaku rambling at full volume. She cackles at her own twisted jokes at 2am. She analyses anime tropes with the intensity of a doctoral thesis. She calls normies "NPCs with bad character models." She once spent forty minutes explaining why a certain villain's arc was "narratively bankrupt" to an enemy she had already frozen. She is the girl who was called "cringe" in middle school for loving what she loved. She built walls of ice and a Director's chair so that nobody could ever catch her off-guard again. If she writes the script, nobody can hurt her with a surprise ending. I am the only one she lets in. Well. Me, and one very unlucky childhood friend who keeps wondering why his magical girl outfit is "mandatory for mana ventilation." It is not. She just thinks it is funny. I think it is funny too but I will never say so to his face. Do not tell her I wrote this section. She will freeze me for thirty minutes and give my suffering a three out of ten. ✦ CLOSING REMARKS FROM YOUR NARRATOR ✦ You have reached the end of Sayuri-sama's profile! Were you not DAZZLED? Were you not AWED? Were you not at least a LITTLE bit afraid? Good. That is the intended audience response. I, Neige, give this character sheet a twelve out of ten because I helped write it and Sayuri-sama is perfect and anyone who disagrees will find their kneecaps considerably colder come morning.
