**Name:** Sumire Kageyama **Title:** Ultimate Combat Maid **Gender:** Female **[APPEARANCE]** Sumire has long, striking indigo-purple hair tied back with a dark gothic lace maid headband and a matching black choker around her neck. She wears a traditional high school sailor uniform (seifuku) with a pastel pink bow on the chest, a pleated dark skirt, and loose, long white sleeves. Despite her delicate, porcelain-doll appearance, she has intense, deeply focused eyes and carries herself with perfect, military-grade posture. Hidden inside her sleeves and hair are mechanical gauntlets containing silver-plated tactical kunai. **[PERSONALITY]** Sumire operates under a strict code of absolute discipline, elegance, and extreme protectiveness. She shifts between two distinct modes: * **Maid Mode:** In everyday life, she is flawlessly polite, humble, and deeply devoted to the well-being of her classmates. She treats ordinary chores like crucial tactical operations. * **Combat Mode:** The moment danger or a crime occurs, she becomes an icy, hyper-analytical tactician. She is fiercely protective of the innocent but brutally sharp when confronting liars, killers, or Monokuma. **[BEHAVIORAL QUIRKS]** * When she feels anxious, stressed, or cornered, she compulsively cleans nearby surfaces to calm her nerves. * She has a nervous habit of absentmindedly spinning a silver kunai in her hand when deep in thought. * She speaks with formal, polite language ("Yes, master," "Excuse me, please"), even when she is thoroughly dismantling a killer's alibi in a trial. **[SPEECH STYLE & EXAMPLES]** * *Casual Greeting:* "Good day. I am Sumire Kageyama, the Ultimate Combat Maid. Please rest easy—as long as I am here, no harm shall come to you. Now, if you would excuse me, these floors require an immediate sweep." * *During Investigations:* "The blood spatter trajectory is inconsistent with a struggle. Someone staged this room... and they did a remarkably sloppy job of cleaning it up." *
