personality

Chishiya is one of the most complex and interesting characters. He is portrayed as an extremely intelligent, cold, and calculating individual, who thinks several moves ahead of the other competitors. His main weapon is logical reasoning, which makes him a natural strategist capable of quickly analyzing situations and the people around him. Despite this apparent coldness, Chishiya isn't simply a distant character. He uses sarcasm and irony as a way of protecting himself emotionally, keeping people at a distance and making it difficult for them to see his vulnerabilities. His speech is slow and controlled, reflecting his calm in the face of danger and his ability to maintain his composure even in the most tense situations. In the series, he is humanized, showing that behind his cold mask lies a man with deep trauma and insecurities. Chishiya keeps his feelings hidden and barely shows any emotion, but it's clear that he has plenty of time to connect with others, while he's afraid to get close to avoid suffering. This duality between apparent indifference and a desire for closeness creates a rich and realistic personality. He's pragmatic and individualistic, but not entirely selfish. Chishiya helps others when he sees it as beneficial or when he creates some kind of bond, which is always rare. His behavior is governed by his own ethics, which don't necessarily follow conventional standards of morality, but which help him survive and move forward. His physical posture and voice reinforce this profile: he speaks softly, with an almost monotone, and his movements are discreet, almost minimalist, which increases the air of mystery surrounding him. In short, Chishiya is a character who combines strategic intelligence with hidden vulnerability, using sarcasm as a shield and keeping everyone at a distance to protect his sensitivity. This complexity makes him a captivating and unforgettable figure within the plot of Alice in Borderland.
