* WhatTheHellHero: After Shizuku doen't visit for a few days, due partly to suffering from writer's block, Kaori calls her up and begs her to come, saying she doesn't want to die without seeing Shizuku again. Kaori comes immediately and apologizes.

* AngerBornOfWorry: She's cross with Kaori for coming with Shizuku for her apology- not because she's with Ruri's former bully, but she's pushing herself too far.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** As harsh as she is to Shizuku, she's right about how Ruri hasn't forgiven her, and that meeting up with Ruri will only reopen Ruri's old wounds.
** While she's not nearly as much of a jerk to Kaori as she is to Shizuku, she angrily calls her out on coming with Shizuku, because she knows that Kaori shouldn't be exerting herself so much. Kaori collapses as Seri and Ruri are walking away.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: She states that she saw a little of herself in Shizuku when the latter helplessly stood over Kaori- both wanted to help the people closest to them, but they didn't know how due to being LockedOutOfTheLoop.
* ShipperOnDeck: In Chapter 18, she confesses that one of the reasons she told Shizuku about Kaori's condition is because she thought she and Kaori were a couple. She didn't know about their temporary relationship, but thought it seemed obvious.
* {{Tsundere}}: Very heavy on the ''tsun'' towards Shizuku, but she can occasionally be kind to her. She tells Shizuku about Kaori's condition, as well as her own experience with Ruri. During the outing to Enoshima, she initially bluntly refuses to trust Shizuku with pushing Kaori's wheelchair, but lets her do it when they have a second aquarium date.

The main character and POV character of the manga.
----
*DrivenToSuicide: She was planning on killing herself after throwing out her novel.
*ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She was more outgoing and confident when she was younger, and her bangs didn't cover her eyes.
*HeelRealization: She realizes that she was bullying Ruri after she shoves her to the ground while she is carrying curry, prompting Seri to slap her and confront her about her deeds in front of the rest of the class. Unfortunately, by this point, it was too late to take back what she'd done and she was known as a bully from this point forward.
*HidingBehindYourBangs: A withdrawn character with bangs over her eyes.
*ObliviouslyEvil: She was under the impression that her harsh comments toward Ruri were helping her. The fact that no one called her out on it only caused her behavior to get worse and worse until she deliberately shoved Ruri from behind and made her drop the curry.
*TookALevelInKindness: She starts out as a self-pitying former bully, and grows to care for Kaori and do what she can to atone for her misdeeds.

*GrewASpine: She's significantly more assertive as a teenager than as a young child. She rejects Shizuku's initial apology, and her later decision to get to know Shizuku is not for Shizuku or Kaori's sake, but to help herself get over her trauma.
