Reputation:  Your reputation is neither good nor bad.  To put it in simple
terms, you know things.  Similar to the way Nabiki Tendo is popularly portrayed
in numerous fanfics, you tend to keep your ears open and gather information.
You always have plenty of assistance in doing so.  Unlike Nabiki, however, you
are not malicious.  You tend not blackmail others for your own personal gain,
though in the past you have used your information and contacts to discredit and
humiliate those you felt deserving such action.  The most notable example of
your work was when you managed to get a professor fired and blacklisted from
every major school system in Shinonome and Tokyo for his inappropriate and
aggressive advances towards a female student.  He managed to avoid jail time but
has been unable to teach anywhere since.  And to this day, no one knows for
certain that it was you who was responsible.

For the most part, though, your actions in school are harmless.  More students
come to you asking about whether "he likes her" or "she likes me" than anything
else.  Advice on where to place bets in sporting events is occasionally
dispensed but you have never used your information to stack odds or the like.
Your information is just very accurate.  If anyone asked, you could probably
find out which teacher is sleeping with what student in less than 24 hours, but
you see little use for the info since you do not try to ruin lives.  You simply
lie in wait until the information is needed.  Then you strike, using every scrap
of information in your possession to great effect.

Rumors abound, however, and that's the rep you have acquired in Shinonome High.
So far, you've been labeled as being filthy rich, bribing you way into
everything you could possibly want; a card-carrying member of The yakuza; a
spiritualist, using Ouija boards to contact ghosts to gather your information;
and insanely lucky, just to name a few.  Your tendency to hang back and observe
instead of getting directly involved has only added to your ever-changing rep as
does your association with Jinnai.  Your closest friends, however, know you much
better than that and trust you implicitly.

Thoughts on the others:

Makoto - "Nice kid, a good tutor.  Clueless when it comes to women.  But
generally a real nice guy I like hang with when I can."

Jinnai - "Do I really need to talk about him?"

Nanami - "Smart, business savvy.  Cute but vicious when it comes to money.
Thankfully, I have an arrangement in which I get 25% off her lunches so long as
Makoto doesn't learn of her feelings for him."

Fujisawa - "Grouchy but decent fellow.  I don't mind him.  It's once he's
liquored up that things really get fun.  I like to visit him when I can."

Asmodeus - "You know that saying, 'Heaven doesn't want me and Hell's afraid
I'll take over'?  It's true in his case."

Dan - "Serious straight man.  Someone I can depend on when the chips are down.
No problems with this guy.  A good friend."

Guy - "Funny, loveable class clown.  As long as he keeps me out of his pranks,
I'll give him all the help he wants.  But as soon as he pulls one on me,
then..." [chuckles evilly]

Komodo - "Annoying jerk, yet still likeable.  When he's not a nuisance he's an
all right guy.  Still don't know why."

Paul - "Much like Dan.  A good guy to have a around.  Just not as uptight and
serious."

Rain - "Cute but naïve freshman.  Paul's 'girlfriend.'"
