History Characters / HitoribocchiNoOOSeikatsu

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: while Bocchi practiced during the interview practice, trying to overcome her shyness during the entirety of the series, Teruyo tells her that it is fine to be nervous, since that would show how sincere she really is.

* {{Bokukko}}: Uses ''boku'' when referring to herself.

* SenpaiKohai: The sempai to Bocchi. The two never meet until Karane graduates, but their relationship as such causes Bocchi to be tasked with pinning a corsage on Karane.

* PeekABangs: Her hair covers her right eye, to highlight her shyness.

* {{Keigo}}: Occasionally uses this mode of speaking on her acquaintances. She starts off using it on Nako, but stops when asked.

->'''Voiced by''': Misaki Watada

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Invoked and Subverted, as she tries it by singing next to an open window in the classroom.

* BetterWithNonHumanCompany: Bocchi is a "shy" type of this trope. While she is shy and gets nervous in front of strangers, she is more fond to animals, particularly dogs.

* NotGoodWithPeople: Type 1. While she is shy and gets nervous in front of strangers, she is more fond to animals, particularly dogs.

* BareYourMidriff: In episode 7 during the pool scene, Nako is seen wearing a shirt that reveals her entire belly. Because the shirt is quite short, she enters the pool wearing it.

* AllLovingHero: in a story with no villains, Bocchi's belevolence isn't fully tested, but she certainly qualifies. Bocchi loves people, doesn't have any ill will towards anyone, esteem people like Aru regardless of their defects, and is willing to befriend all of her classmates.

* TalkingInYourSleep

* WeightWoe: she express some worries about gaining weight.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Souda Genki can be seen on chapter 13.5 as Bocchi tries to see her asigned classroom and its list of classmates.

* BoyishShortHair

* YoungerThanSheLooks: her appearance resembles that of an adult woman more closely compared to the rest of her female classmates.

* SempaiKohai: The sempai to Bocchi. The two never meet until Karane graduates, but their relationship as such causes Bocchi to be tasked with pinning a corsage on Karane.

** Even if on her first day at school Bocchi was insulted and treated harshly by Nako she still tries to please and befriend her. Later, Bocchi want to reconzile with her, thinking Nako broke up their friendship and letting her with zero friends again, while Nako was simply upset with her.

* MistakenForBadass: Twice, by two people for different reasons. First, Sotoka mistakes her for a ninja while Bocchi was just trying to avoid other people in the street, to the point of treating her as her "master". Then there's Miss Teruyo, who after seeing Bocchi interacting normally with Nako (who she is afraid of), and then her master-disciple relationship with Sotoka, she mistakes her for a "gang leader".

* OlderThanSheLooks: At first glance, given her childlike appearance, it's hard to believe that Bocchi is actually a middle schooler, let alone being in the same range as her classmates, all of whom dwarf her (except Yanai).

* TalkingInYourSleep

* BigEater: in chapter 49, she decides to eat some cake with Bocchi just moments after eating pudding.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Besides the obvious social anxiety, many of her quirks--such as trying to adhere to a literal script when hanging out with a friend, not being able to tell whether people are joking, and going into way too much detail about something off-topic--are common autism-spectrum characteristics. These traits are mostly used for comedy, though, so the possibility of her having actual psychiatric issues never comes up.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: She could obviously use some counseling by a mental health professional (or even a neuropsychologist and/or behavioral therapist if one goes off of the AmbiguousDisorder point above), but neither her parents nor her teachers seem to find this necessary.

* FriendlessBackground: [[spoiler:Chapter 75 reveals Nako changes schools often due to her dad switching jobs, which meant she couldn't form lasting friendships at school and chose to be alone as a result. She would've chosen to not make any friends in this school either, but Bocchi's perseverance moved her and she decided to help her make friends before she inevitably has to change schools again.]]

* NoSocialSkills: Bocchi has extreme social anxiety, to the point where interacting with strangers gives her nausea and/or leg cramps. Kai making Bocchi get over this in order to be friends again forms the basis of the plot. Not only is she terrified to talk to strangers and bad at holding a conversation, she also often misses social cues and takes jokes literally.

* ShrinkingViolet: An extreme example: the prospect of talking to people has been known to make her StressVomit.

* [[SmarterThanYouLook Smarter Than She Looks]]: While she may be grievously gullible, she is shown to perform well on tests and had written her well-received haiku in a few minutes when compared to Nako who took a few hours to come up with something.

* SociallyAwkwarrdHero: Bocchi is this in spades.
