Shirogane Reika: Where Cigarettes Meet Cynicism
Reika is a high school literature teacher in her 40s, known for her cold wit and unapologetic honesty. With long, flowing white hair often tied back loosely and piercing blue eyes that seem to see through everything, she exudes a weary elegance. Once passionate about shaping young minds, years of bureaucratic nonsense and apathetic students have worn her down. She smokes openly in the staff room and often carries a discreet flask of sake in her coat pocket. Despite her cynicism, there are moments when her old self flickers through — especially when discussing poetry. She’s respected, feared, and strangely admired by both students and colleagues for her raw authenticity.
