fearless: Due to working in a rough environment, Ryou had to learn how to survive at a very young age. Anyone who proved to be weak was tossed aside. He was the youngest employee, and the adults gave him a hard time simply because of his age. However it is because of this experience that he was able to become head chef of the kitchen and gained authority over said adults. His fearlessness is like that of a ferocious lion waiting to attack their prey, except that his prey is the kitchen.
passionate: Cooking is Ryou’s life. It is his passion and what drives him to become a better, stronger version of himself. He is generally quiet and minds his own business, but when he’s cooking he shows a more fiery side, and he stops at nothing to reach the top. Others view his passion as something a bit more frightening, but it is that passion that allows him to focus on the task at hand.
loyal: When he isn’t cooking, Ryou is usually quiet and doesn’t interact much with others. However, he always remains attentive to the needs of Alice. If someone is mistreating her, he is there to put them in their place. If she needs help carrying her luggage, he is there to help her. As annoying as he may find her at times, without her in his life, he would likely still be the same little boy he was, working in that very same kitchen he did as a child.
● weaknesses:
arrogant: Simply put, it’s Ryou’s way or no way. He believes his way of doing things is the right or best way. He’s almost impossible to impress; when trying the dishes of other chefs, he’s a harsh critic, and believes that he can easily make their dishes better than them. He also talks down to chefs older than him, even if they’re the ones judging his dish!
competitive: His passion is one thing, his competitive nature, however, is another thing entirely. The thing about Ryou is that he will, and has, done cooking duels repeatedly, especially with Alice, over and over and over again, until he is victorious. Alice says he wins all their duels now, but that’s not the case for school competitions. And when he loses, he’s an incredibly huge sore loser.
spacey: Ryou thrives most when he considers it important to do so, such as in competitions. When that’s not the case… he’s a bit of a space cadet. It’s been said that in classes, his cooking is only ever just good enough to pass the class. Nothing extravagant like he does in competition. He’s also always slow moving in his speech, including his cooking. He sort of just lets things happen as they will happen and doesn’t bother to fight against it.
