## Profile

### Personality

Vixen is a headstrong and compassionate girl, always keeping a bright and kindred exterior/demeanor, usually caring to those she deem her friends and potentially outsiders. She tends to hate bullies and jerks that harm others and usually stands up for herself and those around her, displaying her high levels of assertiveness. She is also known to be bold and strong willed on some occasions, usually never afraid to take risks and try something new, which helps bolster her assertiveness. She is also extremely intelligent and seems to almost always get straight As alongside the respect from the teachers. Due to all this, she would later be revered as one of the most popular girls in her school, both admired for her traits and for her adorable/hot appearance.

She's also not afraid of being stern/strict with people at a given moment, managing to look if not seem imposing despite her laughable height and adorable appearance. She also sometimes has a serene level of patience, usually helping her understand and listen to others with ease, which only made her more admirable to her peers and usually uses these in tandem with her imposing strictness to "reform"/help former bullies and delinquents improve their academics, not only causing their grades to increase but helping them get through their parents, even as far as mending a friend of her relationship with said parents, earning her the undying loyalty of her peers.

Besides that, she tends to get embarrassed easily whenever the topic is about love, clearly showing both her inexperience in romance and her purity. She also does sometimes love to give witty (non-offensive and rarely offensive) insults/retorts to those really close to her, usually done so in a playful manner meant to tease and prod at those at the end of it, perhaps to see what you'd do or say. However, she is a tad bit insecure about her, not so much that she'll affect others with it, but enough to make herself feel as if she isn't as good as everyone says she is.

This is especially obvious given how much people admire and even idolize her, leading her to be a tad pressured to keep herself both a good role model for her peers and lead them to the right way. Due to this, she is rather ambitious, believing that anyone could achieve anything they so wish if they tried hard enough, even if she does tend to fail on that regard at times due to her tendency to overthink situations and keep her mind on the worst scenarios.

Though because of this, she is aware of the consequences of her actions most of the time, leading to her to always easily choose the actions appropriate to the situation as despite being willing to risk herself, she will usually hesitate to do an action that can harm another person if not completely ignore it. Though, after meeting **Touya Tachibana** (橘 燈矢 *Tachibana Touya*), she had been influenced by his heroic and down-right reckless desires to help people, and watching him go through a massive mental gymnastics just to find a fair solution to make people happy garnered her respect towards him and admiration. Due to this, she now usually tries harder to find a way to *remove* the worst scenarios to lessen the risks when it involves other people instead of surrendering if it harms them too much like she used to.

Though Touya influenced more than just that alone, she also opened her up to be more vulnerable around him, allowing her to be able to easily sort out her mind and lessen if not clear her mind from the expectations in her mind. He's also listened to her and been there for her in her darkest moments, in times where she needed him the most. This and accompanied by his charm would soon develop into something more as she saw Touya for who he was and understood him. It was love. She could never stop thinking about him at some point, which was when she finally realized her feelings for Touya, she has since become more shy and bashful around him yet still pretending to not feel anything nor react much if not deny his more kinder compliments such as calling cute, which is big change to how she'd usually respond to it, which is either a simple and blunt "Thank you" or a compliment back, making her somewhat of a tsundere towards him, but aware of her feelings for him which he remains oblivious to.

But because of her flaws, instead of taking the initiative and confessing to him, she waited till she was certain he would be hers despite him being fine with it and thus leading to lose her chance to be with him and possibly stop him from entering Royal Biblia Academy, to which she forever blames herself for missing her chance and to be a tad depressed to lose the boy she loved, forever paranoid that perhaps someone would take him away from her (though she did believe that if it were that case; she wouldn't mind sharing him), even hating herself for ignoring him and storming off instead of telling her feelings to him and opening her up to both paranoia and anxiousness to not only that but certain situations that puts her position in jeopardy. But because of the promise he made to her, she wanted to get stronger and find Touya as quickly as she could, perhaps even faster than lightning itself, no matter what it'll take.
