Shimei Ryomou

Shimei Ryomou is a captain of Nanyo Academy. She serves as an adviser to Sonsaku Hakafu, as well as both a champion for the school and field commander. On the rare occasions there is an internal threat, she is also trusted with it's resolution. She is an S Rank Fighter who specializes in grapples and submission holds, making her devastating in single combat, but less powerful in mass fights.

## Appearance

Ryomou is a full-figured girl of average height with short blue hair. She always wears an eye patch on her left eye, though the few people who have seen her without it confirm that the covered eye appears to be fine. Outside of her Nanyo uniform, she tends to wear a maid outfit with handcuffs attached to the waist, which she uses to create inescapable holds. The reason behind this attire is entirely unknown.

## Personality

Ryomou presents a cold, distant appearance, which she maintains most of the time she isn't involved in a fight. When in a fight, she changes drastically, being almost feral in her sadism. She takes great pleasure in trapping her opponents in painful holds, and milking it for every second she can.

## Plot

### Wolves of Nanyo Arc

After the main characters were attacked by Shion Inoue pretending to be a student of Nanyo, they went looking for a Nanyo student to question about the incident. They found Ryomou at the cafe William works at, and asked her about him. She wasn't happy to have her coffee disturbed, but answered their questions. She was however quite taken with Seto.

The next day, when the main characters accompanied Scarlett Hornick to meet with Sonsaku Hakafu, Ryomou was there as well. She spoke with Ryofu Housen and the main characters a decent amount, and showed her softer side, as she was pressured into performing karaoke.

## Abilities

Ryomou is a master of the Monkey's Paw stance. She is also very proficient with the Bear Claw and Snake Fang stances, both of which she integrates with Monkey's Paw stance to make her submission holds especially painful for her victims.

## Relationships

### Nanyo Prince and Captains

#### Sonsaku Hakafu

Ryomou has a deep fondness for Hakafu, viewing her as one of her best friends. She even allows Hakafu to call her Mou-Chan, a name she will tolerate from no one else. Like all of Hakafu's friends, Ryomou views her as an idiot, and does her best to protect her from her own poor decisions.

#### Koukin Shuuyu

Ryomou has a lot of respect for Koukin. She remembers his history of playing down his abilities, and how well he pulled it off, as well as how talented he turned out to be. Having grown closer to Hakafu, Ryomou has similarly grown closer with Koukin, however they haven't gotten quite as close as she and Hakafu.

#### Gakushuu

Ryomou and Gakushuu have known each other for longer than any other Nanyo Captains. They've had a tense history, but over the years Ryomou has come to accept Gakushuu's reliability and tenacity. This has led her to respect him as a Fighter, both for his abilities and his character.

#### Hitomi Yamaguchi

Ryomou doesn't particularly like Hitomi, regarding her manipulative nature with much deserved suspicion. She generally believes that Hitomi means well, but is cautious of the possibility that she has been deceived.

### Otonokizaki Academy

#### Toshiko Honda

Toshiko and Ryomou live in the same suburb, along with Ryofu Housen. This proximity has naturally led to the two meeting and getting to know each other through mutual contacts. Ryomou is awkward around Toshiko's carefree attitude, but likes her, as she reminds her of Hakafu.

### Uogawan Girl's Academy

#### Ryofu Housen

Ryomou and Ryofu have, in the past, both been interested in the same guy. Ryofu ultimately gave up pursuing him, and asked Ryomou to look after him for her. She did, until he proceeded to dump her. While neither hold a grudge, the tense history they share results in a mixed relationship of both friendship and cautious rivalry. Ultimately, Ryomou has a deep respect for Ryofu.
