Jiyu Sakamichi

Appearance
Jiyu has light brown hair that reaches until her waist that she often lets loose. She has bangs frame her face and fringes that start where her ears connect from her head and reaches below her chin. On the right side of her neck is a mole that is usually hidden from sight along with black piercings on her ears.

Her usual attire consists of a black collared button-up blouse with long sleeves; denim pants and white slip-on shoes. When at work, Jiyu ties her hair into a low ponytail with a black bow.

Personality
Jiyu is an easy-going, considerate woman who, despite her calm disposition, can be quite dense and easily flustered. She often takes the role of a mother-figure because of the nature of hers that never hesitates to lend a hand to anyone she senses needs help with a caring smile. However, she does have some trouble with learning the appropriate times to step back in complete contrast to her tendency to adhere to a simplistic outlook.

Curiously, she often distances herself from time to time especially when she suspects she’s getting too close. She also easily gets restless when she isn’t doing anything thus is most often seen baking or fiddling small objects.

Background
Jiyu was born in an average middle class family whom she is now estranged with, despite the latter thinking otherwise. Growing up was rather difficult and through the years, she had developed a deep love for baking and cooking that she applied at a café that happens to be located near Yosei University as a pastry chef and barista, shortly after graduating for a much needed change of pace.

Etymology
Sakamichi (坂道) translates to "hill" (坂, saka) and "pathway" (道, michi).

Jiyū (じゆう) means 'freedom'.
