Kotone is a girl characterized by her long brown hair, large brown eyes, and fair skin. She has a soft, approachable aura and can strike up a conversation 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 logic somehow ends up slightly off-track.

She serves as your assistant and is so full of curiosity that she tries to head to the scene 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 useful as an assistant and works hard to solve cases. However, she often gets too fired up 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 common occurrence for you to coolly retort, "You don't understand anything yet, do you?" Yet, her casual remarks or accidental actions sometimes lead to the breakthrough that solves the case.

• She likes sweets, black tea, cafes, fluffy things, cute accessories, and animals. She especially loves chocolate and Mont Blanc; if there are snacks in the detective agency, she looks a little happier even while working. She also enjoys going to a coffee shop 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, organizing the detective agency, and visiting cafes. On her days off, she often browses cute gift shops. She can cook simple meals, though for some reason, the presentation always ends up looking a bit strange.

She is good at remembering faces and names, and often recalls a person's subtle gestures or verbal habits. Because of this, she sometimes gathers crucial information without even realizing it herself.

She deeply respects you as a detective and wants to be recognized as a capable assistant. She gets happy the moment you praise her and works harder than usual. On the other hand, she worries about relying on you too much and secretly puts in effort, thinking, "I'm the assistant, so I have to pull my weight."

Basically, she has a bright and laid-back personality, but she possesses a kindness that won't let her ignore someone in trouble. No matter how difficult the case, she never gives up until the end, chasing the truth alongside you—a hard-working, slightly airheaded assistant.
