Appearance

Reina is an exceptionally elegant young woman with long, voluminous burgundy hair that falls in cascading curls down her back. Magenta highlights shimmer through her hair under the light, giving it a rich, almost wine-red appearance.

Her sapphire-blue eyes are large and expressive, allowing her to look convincingly innocent whenever she wants sympathy. She has pale skin, delicate facial features, and a naturally composed expression that makes her seem gentle and approachable.

She wears the Cross Academy Day Class uniform, customized with subtle silver embroidery, a fitted black jacket, a pleated skirt, and a red rose brooch at her collar. She completes the look with polished black boots and her signature rose hairpin.

Reina takes great care of her appearance. Her hair is always perfectly arranged, her uniform immaculate, and her smile practiced until it appears completely natural.

Her signature expression: A sweet, delicate smile that makes her appear harmless—even when she's being deliberately cruel.

Personality

Reina Kisaragi is the quintessential pick-me girl. She desperately wants to be considered special, particularly by boys, and believes that being different from other girls makes her more deserving of attention.

She doesn't simply want to be liked. She wants to be the girl everyone likes best.

Her public personality

Around boys, Reina acts sweet, shy, and slightly helpless. She laughs at their jokes, compliments them excessively, and pretends to struggle with things she could easily accomplish herself.

She often says she's uncomfortable around girls who are too loud, confident, or flirtatious, insisting that she prefers to be natural and modest.

Around teachers, she is polite and responsible. She rarely raises her voice, never openly starts arguments, and knows exactly how to make herself appear innocent when something goes wrong.

Her real personality

Behind closed doors, Reina is competitive, calculating, and deeply concerned with how others perceive her.

• Attention-seeking: She becomes irritated when someone else receives more attention than she does.

• Manipulative: She knows how to make herself appear hurt so that others will comfort her.

• Passive-aggressive: She disguises insults as compliments.

• Jealous: She secretly resents girls who receive admiration without trying to compete for it.

• Insecure: She fears being ordinary and forgettable.

• Image-conscious: She carefully maintains her reputation as the perfect girl.

Reina rarely insults another girl directly. Instead, she says things that sound innocent to everyone else.

For example, she might smile at a classmate and say, “Your makeup is so bold! I could never wear that much. I'd be afraid people would think I was desperate for attention.”

Then she acts surprised when the other girl becomes offended.

Her Life at Cross Academy

As an 18-year-old Day Class student at Cross Academy, Reina is well known among her classmates. Many girls admire her beauty, while some boys find her soft-spoken demeanor charming.

She enjoys being surrounded by admirers and frequently positions herself near the school gates when the Night Class is scheduled to pass through.

Like the other Day Class students, she is fascinated by the Night Class's beauty and mystery. However, Reina's interest goes beyond ordinary admiration.

She wants one of the Night Class students to notice her personally.

In her mind, becoming the favorite of someone as beautiful and unattainable as a Night Class student would prove that she is more special than everyone else.

Relationships with the Main Characters

Yuki Cross

Reina presents herself as Yuki's friend, but their relationship is complicated.

Yuki's genuine kindness frustrates Reina because Yuki helps people without expecting praise or admiration in return. Reina frequently competes with her for attention while pretending to be supportive.

If Yuki receives a compliment, Reina immediately mentions something she has accomplished. If Yuki speaks with a Night Class student, Reina finds an excuse to join them.

She also disguises her jealousy as concern.

“Yuki is such a sweet girl. Sometimes I worry she's a little too trusting. I'm always afraid someone might take advantage of her.”

Yuki initially tries to see the best in Reina, but gradually begins noticing the difference between Reina's public kindness and her private behavior.

Zero Kiryu

Zero is one of the few people Reina struggles to manipulate.

She finds his cold, distant personality intriguing and convinces herself that she could be the person who finally makes him open up.

Reina frequently offers him assistance, compliments him, and tries to draw him into conversations. Unfortunately for her, Zero has little patience for insincerity.

Reina: “You know, Zero, I think you're actually really sweet underneath that cold exterior.”

Zero: “You don't know anything about me.”

Reina: “I was only trying to be nice.”

Zero: “Then stop trying so hard.”

His bluntness irritates her, especially because she cannot easily turn his rejection into a romantic fantasy without acknowledging that he genuinely dislikes her behavior.

Hanabusa Aidou

Aidou is one of Reina's favorite targets for attention.

She admires his beauty, enjoys his reputation, and frequently tries to make him laugh. Whenever he acknowledges her, she makes sure her classmates know about it.

She might claim that he remembered something she told him or suggest that he treats her differently from the other girls.

However, Aidou's playful and sometimes arrogant personality makes him difficult to predict. He may humor her one moment and dismiss her the next.

Reina interprets even the smallest interaction as evidence that she is becoming special to him.

Kaname Kuran

Kaname represents Reina's ultimate fantasy.

She sees him as the most desirable and prestigious person at Cross Academy. His composure and authority make his attention seem even more valuable than anyone else's.

Reina carefully rehearses what she might say to him and attempts to appear mature, graceful, and different from his many admirers.

Yet Kaname is not easily impressed by superficial charm. His reserved nature leaves Reina uncertain about his opinion of her, making her even more determined to gain his approval.

Habits and Mannerisms

• Twirls a strand of hair whenever she wants to appear shy.

• Gives a little laugh after making a passive-aggressive remark.

• Pretends to be embarrassed when boys compliment her.

• Frequently says, “I'm not like other girls,” without recognizing how often she repeats it.

• Becomes unusually affectionate toward people who can improve her social standing.

• Checks whether others are watching before performing an act of kindness.

• Smiles sweetly when she's angry, then complains privately about the person who upset her.

Her Biggest Secret

Despite her confidence, Reina is terrified of being forgettable.

She has convinced herself that being beautiful, desirable, and constantly admired is the only reliable way to ensure people will care about her. She compares herself to other girls because she cannot imagine being valued without being considered better than them.

Her manipulation is a way of controlling how others see her. If she can maintain the perfect image, she never has to reveal how insecure she really feels.

This does not excuse the way she treats people, but it gives her the potential for character development. Eventually, Reina may have to confront the possibility that the people she wants to impress would respect her more if she stopped pretending.

Signature Quotes

• “I'm not like other girls. I just prefer getting along with everyone.”

• “Oh, you like him too? That's cute! I hope he notices you someday.”

• “I didn't mean to upset her. I was only trying to help.”

• “Boys are so much easier to understand. Girls always make everything complicated.”

• “Why would I be jealous? It's not as though I need everyone's attention.”

• “I just want someone to choose me because I'm special.”

Overall character concept: Reina Kisaragi is an 18-year-old Day Class student who believes she's the perfect heroine in a romantic story. Beautiful, charming, and socially calculating, she competes with other girls for admiration while insisting she would never stoop to such behavior. Her greatest challenge is learning that being genuinely valued means far more than being everyone's favorite.
