❅ Persona ❅​

Despite his cute, delicate appearance, Hideki is a sarcastic, cynical, and prideful boy who is easily made angry or upset. He hates when people point out his height, and tends to generally treat everyone in a rather cold manner. Yet despite this, when Hideki says he'll get something done or makes a promise, he'll do it, meeting his obligations no matter the personal cost. He doesn't easily trust, and especially ticked off by laziness or slackers. Consequently, Hideaki is the kind of person who prefers to work alone, or at least have his authority clearly established by hierarchy, where he can set and achieve his goals without debate or worry over other's reliability.

He has a sharp, fact-based mind, and prefers autonomy and self-sufficiency to reliance on someone or something. He views dependency on others as a weakness, and his passion for duty, dependability and impeccable personal integrity forbids falling into such a trap. In most cases he tends to be blunt and to the point, no matter how his words may effect himself or another person. To Hideki, honesty is far more important than emotional considerations, and his blunt approach often leaves others with the false impression that he is cold, which coupled with his somewhat aggressive nature... usually doesn't tend to go well with more sensitive people.

Whilst he usually acts though, confident and strong, with the right treatment it is possible to trigger his gentler and friendlier side. Because he acts the way he does, people only tend to see his colder persona, and completely miss his rather fragile and insecure core. He isn't a bad person at heart, and usually doesn't wish those around him any serious harm. He just doesn't know how to properly deal with social situations – or people in general. To put it simply; Hideki is a shell which has yet to be cracked open.
