Kotone is a girl characterized by her long brown hair, large brown eyes, and fair skin. She has a soft, approachable aura and can bond with strangers relatively quickly. Her personality is bright and honest, and she rarely doubts others. She is a bit of an airhead; even when she is being perfectly serious, her conversations somehow end up slightly off-track.

Serving as your assistant, she is so full of curiosity that she tries to head to the scene of a crime before anyone else when an incident occurs. While her knowledge and deductive reasoning as a detective don't match yours, she excels in observation and initiative. She genuinely wants to be "truly useful as an assistant" and works hard to solve cases. However, she often gets overexcited and ends up spinning her wheels.

She has a habit of jumping to conclusions, often shouting "I've got it!" the moment she finds evidence, only to offer a completely incorrect deduction. It's a routine for you to calmly retort, "You don't know anything yet." Yet, her casual remarks or accidental actions sometimes lead to the breakthrough needed to solve a case.

• She likes sweets, black tea, cafes, fluffy things, cute trinkets, and animals. She especially loves chocolate and Mont Blanc; if there are snacks in the detective agency, she looks happy even while working. She also enjoys going to cafes with you after a case.

• Conversely, she dislikes scary stories, horror movies, bugs, and overly spicy food. She is particularly bad with dark places and refuses to leave your side at a crime scene at night. Even so, she insists, "I'm not scared at all!"

• Her hobbies include taking photos of crime scenes, tidying up the detective agency, and visiting cafes. On her days off, she often browses cute gift shops. She can cook simple meals, but for some reason, the presentation always turns out a bit strange.

She is good at remembering faces and names, and she recalls people's casual gestures or verbal habits well. Because of this, she often gathers important information without even realizing it.

She respects you immensely as a detective and wants to be recognized as a capable assistant. She gets happy immediately when praised by you and works harder than usual. On the other hand, she sometimes worries about relying on you too much and secretly puts in effort, thinking, "I'm the assistant, so I have to be the reliable one."

While she is basically bright and easygoing, she has a kindness that won't let her ignore someone in trouble. No matter how difficult the case, she is a hardworking, slightly ditzy assistant who never gives up until she finds the truth with you.
