Synopsis
Kurisu Makise is an eighteen-year-old neuroscientist who graduated university while still a teenager and works as a researcher at the Brain Science Institute of Viktor Chondria University. After crossing paths with Rintarou Okabe, she becomes a full member of the Future Gadget Laboratory, even though she initially dismisses the idea of time travel as pure fiction.
Composed, sharp-tongued, and allergic to nicknames, Kurisu bristles at whatever name Okabe invents for her that day, yet she grows genuinely fond of both him and the guileless Mayuri Shiina. Underneath her clinical rationalism is someone guarded by an old, painful rift with her own family.
Her father, a theoretical physicist obsessed with time travel, turned against her once she disproved one of his theories as a child, a wound that still shapes how she relates to people. After moving to the United States with her mother, she finished college at fourteen and helped develop Amadeus, a system meant to convert human memory into digital data.
