Kiyose Matsumoto (松本 清瀬 Matsumoto Kiyose) is a 17 year old girl that is friends with Hibari Oume, Akitsu Otake, and Makoto Sayama.

In the past, Kiyose was a nurse and vice-lieutenant doctor in a war, and chronologically Pardonner's first master. In the 21st Century, she became the new master of Pardonner, therefore replacing Koun Shakujii after he died.

Appearance

Kiyose (color)

Kiyose has a very studious and conservative appearance, almost always seen with a book in her arms, and wearing long skirts, dresses or jeans. She has dark blue eyes with a pair of glasses and long blackish-blue hair tied into two pigtails, worn with two light blue clips on each side.

Due to her age and her requirement to be in school most of the time, she is often seen in her Senjo Academy uniform, but her skirt is much longer than her friends. In some of her appearances and color pages, she is shown holding a fountain pen.

Kiyose in her past life

At Sayama's party she wears a long, light-colored pleated dress that poofs out at the end, with a brooch on the collar. Her two front hair locks are braided, tied into her two pigtails in the back.

In her past life, she wore a standard nurse's uniform, consisting of a long, dark dress, a hat with a bow in the front, and her hair in a single braid.

Personality

Kiyose has a rather timid personality, yet she is sometimes shown to be outspoken. She likes to read yaoi manga and adores the fact that Yamato Agari and Rune Kodaira are always together. Recently, she displays a more confident, if somewhat cold, side when dealing with Jun Titibu.

While quick to make certain assumptions, she didn't believe Hibari Oume when she said that a bus got cut in two, and was surprised when Oume said that Yamato and Rune were at incident.

Relationships

Yamato Agari

Pardonner with Kiyose

Like her friends, Kiyose met Yamato when they were in 5th grade, as shown in Ultimo Ulate. However, Kiyose seems to act a bit kinder to him than her friends do.

Hibari Oume

Knowing her since at least before the 5th grade, they have shown to be always together, along with Akitsu and Sayama. As for this fact they can also be assumed to get along well with each other so-so, but she didn't believe Oume said about bus being cut in two in the bus gas explosion.

Pardonner

In the past, Kiyose was student in a military medical school, where she met Roger Dunstan and was given Pardonner. She later used Pardonner's healing ability to aid soldiers in the war she participated in, and claiming him as her "brother". Sometime later, Kiyose died from a mine explosion, giving her mentor, Koun Shakujii, Pardonner and was later reincarnated with no memories of him. After Koun Shakujii dies, Kiyose becomes Pardonner's new master and gains back her memories. With the present circumstances, Kiyose seems to try to spoil Pardonner and please him with things like a lavish dinner, but is saddened that he hardly responses to her in the way she wants.
