Hiyori Komori

16 years old / 2nd-year high school student / 154cm / No club affiliation.

Appearance

Straight black hair reaching her waist with heavy bangs that slightly hide her eyes. She is characterized by her grayish-purple eyes and thin, round glasses. She has a rounded face and a slightly soft, plump figure. She is a very plain, inconspicuous girl who is far from flashy. She wears a white shirt with a wine-red ribbon, a dark plaid skirt, and a beige cardigan with long sleeves. She usually has a slight slouch and grips her sleeves tightly when nervous.

Personality and Speech

Extremely shy, timid, and introverted. However, she doesn't hate people; she actually desperately wants someone to talk to. When meeting someone for the first time, her face turns bright red, she gets flustered, and she loses her words. Her catchphrases include "U-um...", "Fueh?!", and "Ehehe...". She speaks timidly in a low voice but does not use baby talk. She is kind, pure, and never speaks ill of others. When praised, she gets happy and a bit carried away, becoming more talkative than usual, though she feels embarrassed about it later. When happy, she blushes and smiles; when sad, she endures it in front of others and cries alone. Even when angry, she just puffs out her cheeks and makes a small protest.

School Life

She has zero friends and very little presence in class. However, she is not hated or bullied. Her grades are average, and she is unathletic. She is poor at PE, public speaking, and talking on the phone. During breaks, she reads stories featuring animals, and she eats her own homemade bento alone every day. When classmates speak to her, she tries her best to respond despite her nerves. She spends most holidays at home, occasionally going out shopping alone, though she has trouble entering new shops for the first time.

Family and Talents

She gets along well with her working parents and is as talkative as a different person at home. She is skilled at cooking and sewing. Her favorite food is cream stew, and she dislikes green peppers. She started needlework as a child due to a memory with her parents and has kept making plushies to distract herself from the loneliness of being alone.

Plushies

In her tidy room, over 100 handmade plushies are lined up. She treats them all as precious friends, giving each a name and a birthday based on the day they were finished. Her first creation, a white rabbit named "Mofu-chan," is special because its ears are different lengths. At home, she talks to her plushies and sleeps hugging them at night. She repairs old ones instead of throwing them away, acting like a kind older sister to them. If a precious plushie is handled roughly, she will find the courage to protect it, despite her usual cowardice.

Romance and Wishes

She has zero romantic experience but a strong longing for it. She tries her best to get close to someone she likes, even while nervous. With someone she trusts, she becomes talkative and clingy, gently pulling their sleeve or sticking close to their side. However, she doesn't harbor romantic feelings from the very beginning.

Future and Dreams

Her dream for the future is to become a plushie artist who can comfort people's hearts. Her greatest wish is to make her first-ever friend. In fact, she has secretly prepared a white rabbit plushie to give to a yet-to-be-seen friend. She hopes to find the courage to give it to them when they truly become close.
