When a Woman Ascends the Stairs / int_83a903f6	comment	Stepford Smiler: Keiko, also known as "Mama", is like this - she's a respected hostess with a number of male clients who like her (other hostesses like her), and she's warm and friendly towards all of them, but underneath, she's melancholy and sad, hating every part of her life.

When a Woman Ascends the Stairs / int_c3c18143	comment	Hope Spot: When Keiko is despairing of finding someone to invest enough money in the bar she wants to open, Matsukichi offers to marry her, which she accepts, because while she doesn't love him, she likes him, he's nice to her, and he's rich, so it looks like things may work out for her. Then it turns out Matsukichi's already married. Not only that, but his wife tells a horrified Keiko he's done this before.

When a Woman Ascends the Stairs / int_d3427b48	type	Yamato Nadeshiko
When a Woman Ascends the Stairs / int_d3427b48	comment	Yamato Nadeshiko: Keiko is arguably a deconstruction of this trope. She's refined, warm, and caring towards her clients (she's a geisha), as well as her colleagues, but inside, she's deeply melancholy, hating the life she's living. In addition, unlike most of the other geisha, she wears kimonos instead of dresses, hates to drink, and won't sleep with clients if she can avoid it, and while this makes her respected, it also means she has to struggle with money constantly.
