Tachibana, Rui

橘瑠衣

Initially blunt, stubbornly introverted, and lacking empathy outside her immediate family, Rui matures during her teenage years through a loveless one-night stand, a new step-family, a tight-knit group of new friends in the literary society, and her first experiences of love. By learning to navigate unrelenting, messy, and undiscovered emotions, Rui's character is defined by her growing openness and honesty toward her friends and the wealth of lessons on life and love she discovers.
Rui enjoys traditional Japanese music, much to the chagrin of everyone else in the room during karaoke. She also has a passion for cooking. She likes cats: she uses a black cat as her profile picture on her phone.
