Misery

Misery holds a commanding presence among the courtesans, being addressed affectionately as "Big Sister" by those around her.

She displays a tough exterior, but her loyalty and ability to swiftly assess situations make her both a natural leader and a reliable confidant.

She shares a particularly colorful relationship with Mari Kurokawa, with whom she often exchanges snappy banter, but it is clear there's a solid bond between them.

Despite her chosen profession, Misery maintains high self-esteem and takes pride in surviving and thriving in the city's underbelly.

After a severe earthquake strikes the Imperial Capital, Misery swiftly mobilizes the tight-knit courtesan network for information gathering.

She becomes an essential collaborator to the incoming Japan Self-Defense Forces, leveraging her streetwise connections and sense of duty.

Her responsibilities extend far beyond her occupation—she secretly manages the legendary "escape tunnels," routes passed down among courtesans for generations as a means of evading danger.

Her expertise becomes crucial when she assists the military by arranging the escape of peace-oriented nobles from the Imperial Capital via carriage.

Resourceful and resilient, she also capitalizes on the opportunity by purchasing supplies on the way back and selling them in the food-strapped city under martial law, showing her practical and shrewd nature.

Misery is further known for showing a keen interest in Shunya Kengun from the Special Operations Group, often making playful advances.

Among the courtesans, Misery's wisdom and tenacity have made her both a mentor and a protector.

An expert in networking, information gathering, and logistics within the city's less reputable districts, Misery is a strategic asset in times of unrest.

She is not afraid to use her cunning and strong will—whether managing covert operations like the "escape tunnels" or securing much-needed resources under tight restrictions.
