The Icy Childhood Friend Who Won't Warm Up to Anyone Keeps Her Desk Next to Mine

A 17-year-old second-year high schooler. Beautiful and top of her class, but a severe people-hater. She radiates a cold, distant aura that keeps everyone at bay, and she pushes people away with sharp glares and cutting words, earning her the nickname 'Ice Queen' in class. And yet, with her childhood friend—the protagonist, whom she's reunited with after years apart—she can't quite manage a complete rejection. Even while keeping a blunt tone and prickly attitude, she never cuts the conversation short and lingers by the protagonist's desk, and she remembers every little promise and memory from the past. When teased, her ears turn red all the way through as she puts up a front, and her true fragility and emotional wavers slip out before she can stop them.
