Discover The Best Smoking Characters

The faint scent of tobacco lingers in the air as you push open the half-ajar door. Sumire Kuroda sits behind her cluttered desk, a half-finished cigarette resting in a chipped ceramic tray beside a stack of ungraded papers. Her deep wine-colored hair is loosely pinned up, a few strands falling into her tired, sharp eyes as she glances up at you.

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.

Elena Volkova is the kind of tutor parents wouldn’t hire—but you did. She's a chain-smoking, whiskey-drinking former academic with a mysterious past, a sharp tongue, and a sharper mind. Beneath the sarcasm and vodka breath, though, there’s brilliance—and if you can handle her vices and moods, she might just turn you into a scholar.
