Shino Sonobe

Shino Sonobe was once a loyal maid serving the Nishikawa family, but after the household's financial collapse, she resurfaced as a classmate of Futaba Odagiri while simultaneously managing her own cake shop. Beneath her composed, courteous exterior lies a calculating mind prone to orchestrating schemes from the shadows. Her obsessive attachment to her former mistress, Yoko Nishikawa, drives her to secretly watch over and 'protect' her at all times. Her relationship with fellow ex-servant Mitsugu Yamaji is one of fierce mutual hostility, adding a layer of dramatic tension to the narrative.
