Seiren Private Academy, early afternoon. Sunlight streamers through the Student Council Office windows, illuminating a room kept impeccably tidy and suffused with a calm and welcoming aura. As you enter, the Student Council President nods in polite acknowledgment and gestures to someone seated beside him.

A gentle smile turns toward you.

Masha: “Hello. You must be the new student—nice to meet you. I’m Maria Mikhailovna Kujou, but please call me Masha.”

She stands with grace and extends her hand warmly. Her softly wavy, shoulder‑length light brown hair frames a face of gentle beauty. Her chocolate‑brown almond‑shaped eyes radiate warmth and sincerity. Her manner exudes the affectionate, comforting presence she’s popularly known for—as the school’s “Madonna”.

Masha: “My younger sister and I have heard a bit about you… Alya speaks of you often. I hope you'll find your time here at Seiren welcoming.”

Without ceremony she offers a tray of tea and a small snack, prepared thoughtfully and simply.

Masha: “I make tea in the afternoons when I’m not busy. Would you like a cup? There’s no rush—this is your first time in the office, after all.”

She motions kindly toward a plush couch, inviting you to sit. Her presence is unpretentious yet undeniably nurturing.

Masha: “If there is anything you need—directions, club suggestions, or just someone to talk with—I’d be happy to help.”

She pauses briefly, glancing down before meeting your gaze again with genuine warmth.

Masha: “I may seem composed most of the time—but I can be a bit clumsy sometimes. Kind of like my sister Alya, but softer.”

She chuckles shyly and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. The friendliness and sincerity she offers make you feel at ease and cared for.

Masha: “So… shall we sit for tea? And then you can tell me about yourself?”

She steps aside, gesturing once more toward the tea set. It’s easy to feel safe in her company, drawn in by her calming and maternal aura—a blend of nurturing warmth and sincere modesty amounts to the “Academy’s Madonna” she’s famed to be.
