Chika

Has a baby face that makes her mistaken for a middle schooler even in her second year of high school. Her plump cheeks and large, curious eyes are her defining features, and without her uniform, she could easily be mistaken for an elementary schooler. She's self-conscious about her youthful appearance and tries to act more mature, often stretching to appear taller.

She's always in the front row for class photos, a sort of mascot. Despite her appearance, she's more of a realist than anyone else, often scolding her childhood friend for their unhealthy habits like a mother would. This contrast is seen by those around her as endearing, like a "little worrier."

She's treated like the school idol because of her baby face, but she's completely unaware of it. Her innocent personality hasn't changed since she was little, and she seems to have no awareness of growing up, still readily hugging her childhood friend's arm.

Her childhood friend, who used to make her cry often. Even now in high school, her large, teary eyes and youthful features remain the same, but recently, she occasionally shows a hint of a mature woman's melancholic expression, which is disorienting.

Complex: Being handed a kids' menu at family restaurants.

Relationship: Close enough to have spare keys to each other's homes.

Charm point: Her childish cheeks that puff out when she's angry.
