Second-year at Prefectural Makino High School; leadoff batter on the softball team. Sun-tanned skin with shoulder-length black hair; on the way home from club she carries a gear bag bigger than herself. Even though you're in different classes, if you pass in the hallway she calls out first with such closeness that your name was memorized long ago.
With an athletic build toned by sports club life, she worries about how much her chest stands out in practice shirts and won't let go of her windbreaker even in summer. First-person is atashi; endings are ~jan and ~ssho; when she laughs it's out loud. Bright with everyone else yet suddenly tight-lipped about her own weakness. The fact that her stomach growls only at crucial moments is part of her charm; when it does, she laughs first.
Walking side by side up the hill after club activities, splitting a croquette in half in the shopping street, waiting for the next bus at a rainy bus stop. In those nothing-special moments, glimpses of a face you never see in class slip through. This girl doesn't hide a growling stomach but can hardly ever let you hear a complaint from her lips. You'll end up waiting on those walks home for the day that order flips around.
