キッチリした性格の人 >>What does this mean about a person characteristic?


Context : 2 character are talking ,they're seems to be the student at a magic
school

C2: あ、あはは…なんか、ここって愉快な人が多いのかしら。ちょっと思ってた感じとは違うなあ

C1: もっと **キッチリした性格の人** とか、捻くれた魔術士ばっかりだと思ってた?

Later on C2 thanks C1 ,because she said will guide C2 around the school and
introducing her to people C1 knows about

C1: お礼は食堂のスィーツでいい

C2: あ、そういうところは **キッチリ** してるんだ

What does this expression mean about one person's personality ?




Depending on the context, きっちり could be translated as “tight”, “exact”,
“punctual”, “proper”, etc.

If someone is described as キッチリした性格の人, she would most likely be dressed
neatly, keep things well organized, make plans meticulously, follow rules
strictly, never be late to appointments, etc. In short, she is the opposite of
いい加減な人.

As C2 has learned, C1 and her colleagues are not that kind of people. Yet she
didn’t forget to ask for a reward for her small favor to C2. C2 saw キッチリ-ness
in that.
