History Characters / AndYouThoughtThereIsNeverAGirlOnline

* CripplingSpecialization: Her stuff's geared towards plowing through dungeons. In [=PVP=], she gets her ass handed to her.

** After [[spoiler:Nanako]] becomes a regular of the guild, her creature is Mu-tan and the color associated with her is pink.

!!Nanako Akiyama/[[spoiler:Sette]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: She and Nishimura have a fiery relationship. That said, they are FireForgedFriends in L.A..

* UnskilledButStrong: She's the most overpowered member because she plays by BribingYourWayToVictory. That said, when her teammates demand she use non-premium equipment, she gets bodied soon after.

Hideki's little sister. [[spoiler:Plays as a monk in ''Legendary Age''.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She is shown once, unsuccessfully asking her brother for help on homework, then never seen again. [[spoiler:In the LightNovel she occasionally plays Legendary Age as Rusian's little sister, Shushu.]]

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Subverted, as Goshouin mentioned, her character name means pig. Ironically, she herself chose it because it sounded like an AwesomeMcCoolname.

* SpoiledSweet: She's the daughter of a FictionFiveHundred family. She's also a NiceGirl, and a ReasonableAuthorityFigure.

* FailOSuckyname: As Goshouin mentioned, her character name means pig. Ironically, she herself chose it because it sounded like an AwesomeMcCoolname.

[[folder:Nanako Akiyama/[[spoiler:Sette]]]]

Hideki's classmate and Akane's best friend. [[spoiler:She later starts playing ''Legendary Age'' as "Sette", a summoner, after finding out about Akane's secret gamer life, and eventually joins the Net Game Club.]]

* GenerationXerox: She's the spitting image of her mother, only with messier hair.

* GenerationXerox: Basically a mature version of Ako with less messier hair.

* ACupAngst: A major sore point of Akane is how [[LampshadeHanging every girl except her]] has [[https://i.imgur.com/jDSq6yI.gif impressive]] [[https://i.imgur.com/9B4xLaE.png boobs]]. Ako and Kyou tease it's because Akane never followed proper nutrition and sleeping habits while growing up, but Akane retorts it didn't matter because she lacked the (genetic) material to craft the items they have.

* MsFanservice: Often wears revealing clothing, from her [[https://i.imgur.com/qs1W6Ac.jpg in-game costumes]] to her choice in [[https://i.imgur.com/U5l1vzd.jpg bathing suits]].

* WalkingShirtlessScene: As Apricot "he" basically wears little except for baggy pants, a cape, detached sleeves and a pair of tassels. Whenever "he" is shown as Kyou, her tassels would conveniently cover [[https://i.imgur.com/M05pzjX.jpg her breasts]] (but not by much).

* WalkingShirtlessScene: As Apricot "he" basically wears little except for baggy pants, a cape, detached sleeves and a pair of tassels. Whenever "he" is shown as Kyou, her tassels would conveniently cover her breasts (but not by much).

* TheConfidant: Serves as this to Akane when it comes to anyone outside her social circle.

** Nekohime admitted to Rusian after he confessed to her that despite being a female character, she is an older guy in real life. [[spoiler:Subverted when it's revealed that Nekohime is an actual woman — to be exact, Hideki and Akane's homeroom teacher, Yui Saitou.]]

* {{Blackmail}}: How she became the teacher representative for the Net Game Club. She initially refused the request until Kyou learned that [[spoiler:she was Nekohime]].
* [[spoiler: CatGirl: Her in-game name loosely translates to "Cat Princess", her in-game character wears cat ears, and she uses "-nyaa~" as a VerbalTic.]]
* ClosetGeek: Keeps her online gaming activities hidden from public, as it's frowned upon for a teacher. Especially since [[spoiler:Nekohime]] has one of the largest fan clubs in the game, consisting of young students.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping[=/=]VerbalTic: When stressed or angered, Yui-sensei will start ending her sentences with "nyaa" in the real world.
* {{Sensei-chan}}: Played with. While prolific at her job, she is ultimately [[spoiler:Nekohime]] so she ends her sentences occasionally with -''nyaa''~. Then again, she is also blackmailed to become the club advisor.
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: Ms. Saitou's online identity as "Nekohime" and her rejection of Hideki's in-game marriage proposal by posing as a [[{{GIRL}} guy in real life]] more or less jump-starts the series' premise.]]

-->'''Ako''': [[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish Beautiful!]]

* WhiteMage / TheMedic: Ako is the healer, though she's not particularly good at it and often gets distracted when Rusian needs help.

A classmate of Hideki's who seemingly scorns {{otaku}}s, but turns out to be [[NotSoDifferent just as much]] of a gamer as he is.

* GirlishPigtails: Goes well with her {{tsundere}} personality.

* ShanaClone: Akane is rather short, wears her hair in twin pigtails, wears ZettaiRyouiki, and is a heavy {{Tsundere}}. In a twist, she's less of a romantic tsundere than a ''gaming'' tsundere.

StudentCouncilPresident of Maegasaki High School and leader of the Alley Cats Guild.

Hideki's classmate and Akane's best friend. [[spoiler:She later starts playing ''Legendary Age'' as "Sette" after finding out about Akane's secret gamer life, and eventually joins the Net Game Club.]]

%%!!!'''Voiced by''': ???

* WhiteMage: Ako is the healer, though she's not particularly good at it and often gets distracted when Rusian needs help.
* {{Yandere}}: Downplayed increasingly as the series goes on, and taken as proof that the club is working to an extent: Ako is obsessed with Rusian, clinging to him in and out of school, despises non-gamers and is very distressed to see him with girls she does not know. She even attacks [[spoiler:Saitou-sensei after she realizes she is the "Nekohime" who broke Rusian's heart, but with a toy prop rather than an actual weapon.]] By the time Sette shows up as potential competition, however, Ako "only" spends a day at home playing Legendary Age with the implication of living inside the game forever; it's a minor improvement!

* AlphaBitch: The image Akane portrays in the real world. She's considered one of the school's top beauties and incredibly popular, but as Rusian puts it, "a {{tsundere}} that's nothing but tsun." It's soon revealed she's actually a LovableAlphaBitch.

* BecomingTheMask: Akane before the ''Alley Cats'' revealed their real identities to each other. Her true personality is that of a game loving geek who loves computers. Comments from her admonishing of Ako's social life hint she once wasn't so different and [[DarkAndTroubledPast forces herself]] to be an AlphaBitch in public. During the second term, she finds it hard to keep up her mask of being a "normal high school girl".

** Outside of LA, she uses "''atashi''".

* SamusIsAGirl: Rusian's guild mates all turn out to be female, except for Ako who clearly established herself as a female to begin with.

* LightningBruiser: Schwein. She's the same base class as Rusian, but focuses on weapon damage over [[MightyGlacier armored defense]].

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: When stressed or angered, Yui-sensei will start ending her sentences with "nyaa" in the real world.

* LimitedSocialCircle: What Ako is fine having with Rusian, Schwein, and Apricot. Getting her to associate with more people is a core part of the plot.
