5--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/HarukaTomatsu
6
7The main viewpoint character, a girl who loves painting and pastels. She is very gentle and sometimes a bit of an airhead, and while she's good with paints she tends to sketch too lightly and has trouble with design, especially fashion. Her friends call her "Kisaragi," Buchi calls her "Kisa-chan", and Aa-san calls her "February."[[labelnote:language note]]"Kisaragi" is a traditional alternate name for that month.[[/labelnote]] Early in the series, she becomes enamored with Tomokane's misreading "sketching" (素描) as "plain cat" (素猫) and starts doodling brown kittens by the dozens. Kisaragi turns out to be very good at thrifty spending.

9----
10* ApologizesALot: She often breaks and/or spill stuffs, and otherwise creates a mess due to her clumsiness. As a result, she has to frequently apologize for her mistakes.
11* AthleticallyChallenged: She is clumsy and slow and is always PickedLast when the girls play team sports. When the group are practicing for a sports festival, she's always shown to be lagging behind the others. This is mostly due to her glasses hindering her movements though, and she's a relatively decent swimmer.
12* BespectacledCutie: Wears a pair of large, round glasses, which perfectly captures her adorably sweet and clumsy nature.
13* BlindWithoutEm: She can't even run in a straight line without her glasses. We get a chapter where she's without her glasses at school, and her point of view is ''terrifyingly'' abstract.
14* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Almost always the boke. {{Lampshaded}} by the character sketches as she is referred to be ''tennen'', short for ''tennen'' (born) ''boke''.
15* CharacterDevelopment: Becomes more confident as the series goes on.
16* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: She's slow, clumsy, and can throw sharpened pencils with deadly accuracy.
17* CuteClumsyGirl: Frequently breaks cutleries due to her clumsiness.
18* CutenessProximity: Gets giddy with joy whenever she sees cute cats.
19%%* TheDitz
20* DreamWithinADream: In the chapter aptly called ''Surrealism''.
21* DrunkOnMilk: Can even get drunk on grape soda if she hasn't had sugar in a while.
22* DumberThanTheyLook: When Noda met her for the first time, she assumed that Kisaragi was smart because of her [[SmartPeopleWearGlasses glasses]]. However, Kisaragi is not that intelligent, and she is probably the most underperforming student in her group, after Tomokane.
23* GoodOldWays: Her interests lie in the traditionally Japanese. She's very interested in kimono fashion, is somewhat familiar with the structure for tea ceremonies, and is rather old fashioned for her age.
24* HeroicSelfDeprecation %%I want a quote for this%% %%Try volume one when she's beating herself up about not getting a piece into the art exhibition like Masa and Yoshikawa?%%
25* ImageSong: Her version of the closing theme is a relaxed piece featuring accordions about improvising materials and painting her imagination.
26%%* ImagineSpot
27* KindheartedCatLover: She's a big softie who gets CutenessOverload whenever she sees cats, or even pictures/models of cats. Strangely enough, she doesn't have any cats; instead she keeps two ''dogs'' as pets, and both of them were strays she picked up as an elementary and middle schooler.
28* LethalChef: She mentioned her cooking was "cubist." Ironically, she actually liked to play pretend cooking as a child.
29* MsImagination: Not in the common "chuunibyou" sense but more in the childish sense. Exaggerated in the anime.
30* NerdGlasses: Wears a pair of glasses that's more than half the size of her face, which causes Noda to assume that she's a smart bookworm when they first met. {{Subverted}} as she's one of the underachievers of the group
31* PickedLast: She's terrible at sports, which was why she was picked last during the badminton chapter.
32* PowerLimiter: She discovers, a little to her dismay, that her works done without her glasses are considered better than what she usually produces, leading her classmates to think of her glasses as a limiter of sorts.
33%%* ShrinkingViolet
34* {{Sleepyhead}}: Tends to nod off in class after lunch and PE.

37[[folder:Miki "Nodamiki" Noda]]
38--> '''Voiced by:'' Creator/AiTokunaga
39
40An energetic and fickle young girl who especially loves design and fashion, called "Noda" or "Princess" by her friends. She has employed a number of different hairstyles in the manga, usually involving odango hair, GirlishPigtails, and various hair ornaments. While very talented, she gets bored easily and tends to start fooling around in the middle of lessons. The usual culprit behind any shenanigans, and good friends with Tomokane. Has a memetically pretty older sister whose face we still haven't seen, a younger brother who hasn't yet appeared, and a cat named Marshmallow.
41
42
43----
44* ACupAngst: Implied in the anime. She enjoys making fun of Namiko's boobs a little ''too'' much.
45* BlankWhiteEyes: Prone to these when goofing off. Exaggerated in the anime, where she has this kind of eyes by default.
46%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
47* CustomUniform: Usually wears her gym jacket instead of her blazer.
48* TheFashionista: She has a very good fashion sense (due to her love for fashion magazines), and does exceptionally well in the fashion design course.
49* GenkiGirl: Cheerful and energetic, and always ready to prank her friends (especially Namiko) despite being well aware of the consequences.
50* GirlishPigtails: She normally does her hair in twin buns, which fits her bubbly personality very well.
51* HeightAngst: While she rarely shows it, she does have some insecurities about her lacking height. She mentions in a late chapter of the manga that she's lied about her height, and during a cooking project, she insists on making carbonara because she mistakenly believes the heavy cream it contains has a lot of calcium like ordinary milk.
52* IdenticalTwinMistake: Noda often gets mistaken for her more popular sister, a fact that's make more confusing by the fact that they attend the same school. Homura, at one point, was one of these people mistook.
53* ImageSong: Noda's version of the closing theme is an attention-grabbing pop song with a ''brass section'' about colour and how art flows naturally.
54%%* KewpieDollSurprise
55* OlderThanTheyLook: She's 141cm (4'7.5") in height, which is very short even by {{yonkoma}} standards.
56* ThePrankster: To the point where Kisaragi, Namiko, and Tomokane don't notice that a trickster kitsune spirit has taken her place at the summer festival until the kitsune ''starts [[MagicalRealism doing magic]].''
57* SignatureHairDecs: Nodamiki is very self-conscious of her appearance, and constantly changes her hairstyle and wears cute hairclips to enhance her appeal.
58* UncattyResemblance: Marshmallow the cat is a diva just like her owner.

60
61[[folder:Miyabi "Professor" Oomichi]]
62--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoriNazuka
63
64A quiet and very talented girl who really, really loves the color black. Namiko calls her "Masa"; the other girls call her "Professor". While definitely somewhat strange, Masa is very kind, and always takes care of her friends and the chickens kept on the school grounds. Her family is very traditional, and her parents have arranged her marriage to an older boy she hasn't been able to meet yet. She's almost always expressionless and has a relatively low normal body temperature.
65
66
67----
68* TheAce: She's definitely one of the most talented students in her year, and whenever her friends come across a particularly good display, they'd assume that it's her work. And this has been going on ever since she was 6!
69* AlternateCharacterReading: Where the nickname "Masa" comes from; it's another way to read her given name[[labelnote:language note]]The kanji 雅 can mean "elegance" or "upright." "Miyabi" is the kunyomi reading for the first meaning; "Masa" is for the second.[[/labelnote]].
70* AmbiguouslyHuman: Her emotionless nature, high intelligence, incredible hand coordination, SelectiveMagnetism, ability to communicate with birds, ability to breathe underwater, odd behaviour during thunderstorms, and stiff joints during humid weather are traits that wouldn't be out of place in a RobotGirl.
71* ArrangedMarriage: She has a fiancé whom she's never even met. The only thing we know about him is that he's the son of the owners of a shrine.
72* CustomUniform: Her summer uniform's vest is purple instead of yellow.
73* EmotionlessGirl: She has but one expression, which never seem to change even when she's sad, scared or even frustrated, which is why her peers consider her as a strange AmbiguouslyHuman.
74* {{Hammerspace}}: Can keep an unlimited amount of useful things in her uniform.
75* ImageSong: Her version of the closing theme is smooth piano jazz about inclusion and helping.
76* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: {{Averted}} ''and'' {{defied}}! Not only she does not appear isolated--in one arc, despite possessing enough skill to pass the 3-kyu or 2-kyu typography tests, she decides to take the 4-kyu instead due to not wanting to stand out.
77* KimonoIsTraditional: In volume 3 of the manga, Kisaragi found Professor walking on the streets in a kimono. It turns out that her entire family wears kimonos at home.
78* MrExposition: Is usually the one to explain the various art terms to her peers, and, by extension, the audience.
79* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being much calmer and more knowledgeable than the rest of her group, she frequently takes part in their weirder antics (such as agreeing to Noda's suggestion to have ''yami-nabe'' when the group visited Namiko's place).
80* RunningGag: The other girls are well-aware that Masa's a bit ''[[AmbiguouslyHuman off]],'' and like to theorize why this might be.
81* TheScrounger: Forgot your supplies? Suddenly need something that you can't get your hands on easily? Chicken trouble? Masa can help you with that.
82* SelectiveMagnetism: She can use her hair pin as a magnet to pick up some spilled scraps of metal. When the others tried to use that same hair pin to do the same, it failed.
83* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Can talk to birds.
84* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Afraid of the dark. Her desire to understand her irrational fear is what initially got her into the color black.
85[[/folder]]
86
87[[folder:Tomokane]]
88--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiyukiSawashiro
89
90An aggressive, brash, and cheerful girl who uses physical strength to solve everything. She aspires to work in 3D rendering, and likes to use very hard lines in her art. Because of her appearance and behavior, she says that she's often been mistaken for a boy when not wearing a skirt; it turns out that she's so hyperactive and violent at school because of frustration at her older brother, who is too frail for her to fight physically. Five books into the manga, we still don't know her first name.
91
92
93----
94* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Although she complains about her brother all the time, she comes to his aid whenever he collapses.
95* CustomUniform: Doesn't wear the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolo_tie bolo tie]].
96%%* GamerChick
97%%* GenkiGirl
98* HotBlooded: The most fiery and hyperactive of the group. She tends to talk very loudly and uses brute force to overcome her challenges.
99* ImageSong: Her version of the closing theme is a high energy rock song about (naturally) blasting full speed into a project.
100* LadyLooksLikeADude: Has a very boyish appearance, and would easily be mistaken as a guy if not for her skirt.
101* {{Malaproper}}: She seems to have some trouble reading kanji, getting her to get the meaning of words wrong. %%The typography exam arc in Volume 3 is clear that her problem is recognizing kanji in general rather than being careful or not. This looks more like a reading disability to at least one trooper.%%
102* NoFullNameGiven: Despite being a main character, her given name is completely unknown, and even her friends call her by her last name.
103* RunningGag: All through the first manga volume, she never seems to be able to bring in the right supplies; she also has an unfortunate tendency to accidentally wreck art projects (both her own and other people's).
104* SiblingYinYang: She's a loud and hyperactive DumbMuscle. Her older brother is a quiet and demure ManipulativeBastard.
105* SpiderSense: Having been around her brother for so long, Tomokane has developed a superhuman ability to pick up on when he's in trouble, often compared to radio waves.
106* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks very much like her older brother, that she once disguises herself as him in a sports festival, and nobody notices. One time she's described as "[Tomokane], but burnt".
107* {{Tomboy}}: Looks and acts like a boy, and has yet to show ''any'' feminine qualities.
108[[/folder]]
109
110[[folder:Namiko Nozaki]]
111--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuiHorie
112
113The oldest and most mature member of the group, and thus the one who usually winds up playing the StraightMan role. Her friends call her "Namiko-san", and she is on the receiving end of countless height jokes, breast jokes, weight jokes, and age jokes from Noda. Because her friends are so childish, she tends to get treated as the big sister or mom of the group, and is on good terms with Masa, who is the only other calm one in their circle.
114
115
116----
117* AlwaysSecondBest: Her sister Fujiko is good at everything, making Namiko feel inadequate with her own skills.
118* BoobBasedGag: While it's not too visible due to the art style, she's the most well-endowed girl, and her bust size is one of Noda's favorite subject to tease her on. Her sister has also made fun of her chest, at one point comparing her "humps" to a camel's.
119* ButtMonkey: She almost always receive the brunt of Noda's and Tomokane's pranks.
120* CustomUniform: Doesn't wear her blazer and instead wears a belt over her skirt. Noda thinks it's out of insecurity.
121* ImageSong: Namiko's version of the closing theme is about how hard it is to find peace and quiet, sung to fast-paced dance music.
122* LethalChef: She calls her cooking "surrealist."
123* NumericalThemeNaming: The "mi" in her name means "three," vis-a-vis her sister Fujiko's two ("ji").
124* OnlySaneMan: The only one of the group who can be said to be somewhat grounded in reality. Constantly lampshaded.
125* SiblingYinYang: Namiko is straight-laced, clumsy with her hands, and is often aggravated by her friends' mischief; her sister Fujiko is flighty, a natural genius, and loves to make trouble.
126* StraightMan: She's the long-suffering "normal girl" who has to deal with her friends' (particularly Tomokane and Nodamiki's) mischief. Her reactions to their antics is one of the series' source of comedy.
127* TeamMom: She's the most down-to-earth in her group, and tries to keep the others from going too crazy with their hijinks. The girls look up to her, and during her SickEpisode, they tell her how much they respect her maturity.

130!Art Club
131
132[[folder:Chikako Awara]]
133--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkemiKanda
134President of the fine arts club, and the usual perspective character for their misadventures. She's very loud and energetic, and has a Chubu (Nagoya region) dialect, which is often mistaken for a Kansai dialect, much to her chagrin. She's good friends with Mizubuchi, who calls her "Aa-san". She is in her third year, and is a GA student. Much more talented than she appears, and even has [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrachromacy tetrachromacy]], which allows her to perceive ultraviolet light.
135
136
137----
138%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
139* ClubPresident: Of the Fine arts club.
140* GeniusDitz: Despite having immense talent in arts, even possessing tetrachromacy, she often messes up her assignments (including colour mixing) since she does everything by instinct rather than following conventional methods.
141* HiddenDepths: She can make a mean homemade soba. This ability was born from Sasamoto giving her pottery to teach her patience.
142* OneNoteCook: Downplayed. If she doesn't pay enough attention to the recipes, she ends up making them Japanese-styled.
143* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Resembles the stereotype despite not actually being from Osaka.
144* InSeriesNickname: Mizubuchi calls her "Aa-san", while everyone else in the club simply calls her "[[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Pres]]"
145* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Gender-Inverted. When the previous club president drops by to visit, she asks Arawa how she's progressing with Uozumi. Arakawa is quick to deny that their relationship is like ''that''.
146[[/folder]]
147
148[[folder:Mizubuchi]]
149--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AmiKoshimizu
150
151Kisaragi's childhood friend, who helped inspire her to come to Ayanoi in the first place. She's close friends with Aa-san, and is the Art Club's general holder of the SanityBall; she joins the Fine Arts Club when Tono merges it with the Student Life Activities Club, which she was the only member of. Called "Buchi-san" by Aa-san and "Micchan" by Kisaragi; a third-year GA student.
152
153
154----
155* CloudCuckooLandersMinder: She makes sure that Aa-san don't get too carried away in her weird ideas, and reprimands the Prez whenever she starts to slack off .
156* EarlyBirdCameo: First shows up in volume 1 during Kisaragi's flashback.
157* NoFullNameGiven: It's not clear if Mizubuchi is her first or last name, but that's what everyone calls her.
158* TeamMom: Even before she officially joined the Fine Arts Club, she often hangs out with the others to be a moral support (as well as to look after Aa-san).
159[[/folder]]
160
161[[folder:Uozumi]]
162--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi
163
164The vice-president of the Fine Arts Club. Unlike most of the other members, he's not a GA student and is actually a third-year on the college prep track. Originally wanted to be an art student, but because he is red-green colorblind he decided to take the practical road. Has very little patience for his leader's antics. Gets called "Zumin" by Homura.
165
166
167----
168* ColorblindConfusion: At one point in his first year, he reveals he has trouble seeing reds and greens. The conversation that resulted had Awara admit she's jealous of him, since his disability meant that [[CursedWithAwesome he may possibly get to see van Gogh's paintings as he saw them]][[note]]van Gogh is similarly thought to have been red-green colorblind[[/note]].
169%%* DeadpanSnarker
170* {{Foil}}: He's the serious Vice President of the club, whose personality is a stark contrast to the President's. His down-to-earth personality makes Aa-san's craziness even more apparent.
171* NoFullNameGiven: His given name is completely unknown.
172* OnlySaneMan: The most normal of the students, who often gets bewildered and/or exasperated by the art students' quirkiness.
173* OvershadowedByAwesome: Defying this trope is presumably the reason why Uozumi is not in G.A. He's noted to be quite a good artist, but his color-blindness means that he has a severe handicap compared to other, budding artists.
174* StoicSpectacles: He's more reserved than all of his club mates combined, and his spectacles enhances that persona.
175[[/folder]]
176
177[[folder:Homura]]
178--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyoNaitou
179A second-year auto student and member of the Fine Arts Club. Like Uozumi, Buchi-san, and the Tomokanes, we still don't know his given name. A bit dim but brash, he's also an extreme believer in LoveAtFirstSight.
180
181
182----
183* TheBigGuy: He's the guy to rely on when the club needs excess physical labour, which normally means that he's the gopher for both Aa-san and Uozumi, and the guy who carries the dirty work for the older Tomokane's schemes.
184* HotBlooded: He's very excitable, especially when he gets the opportunity to prank others or impress his crush.
185* NoFullNameGiven: Like Uozumi, only his last name is known.
186* SerialRomeo: Falls in love very easily, and gets over rejection/heart-break just as quickly. First towards Same-chan-sensei, then toward Noda's sister and then Mitsui (one of Awara's classmates).
187* SpearCounterpart: In terms of role and personality, he's essentially more of a male Tomokane than her actual brother.
188[[/folder]]
189
190[[folder:Tomokane (Elder)]]
191--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiyukiSawashiro
192A second-year GA student, and that other Tomokane's older brother. Like his sister, we don't know his given name. He's prone to illnesses and tends to miss a lot of school, so his first appearance is in volume 3, whereupon he joins the Art Club. He has been described as a pastel, softer-looking version of his little sister with wavier hair. Tomokane enjoys playing pranks and mind games, knowing that because of his weak constitution he need not fear retribution; otherwise he's a nice guy.
193
194
195----
196* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's mostly gentle and good-natured, but has a mischievous/manipulative streak that can be outright ''devious'' when executed.
197* BigBrotherBully: His picking on his sister has made her who she is today.
198* DelicateAndSickly: Tomokane has been sick ever since his childhood, often having fainting spells when exerted too hard or missing even one meal. Because of this, he's significantly weaker than most of the cast and was the subject of protection from the main cast's Tomokane for a long time. His weak constitution also contributes to his feminine characterization.
199* DudeLooksLikeALady: Lampshaded; in the columns for "masculine" and "feminine" designs in the manga, he's stuck under the "feminine" side while his sister is under "masculine".
200* KarmaHoudini: No one's going to physically attack a frail little thing like him. He knows this, and exploits it.
201* ManipulativeBastard: Despite his timid appearance, he's very fond of practical jokes and other mischief. He uses his weak constitution as an excuse to not actually enact his devious plans by himself though, and uses others (like Homura) to do the dirty work for him.
202* NightmareFetishist: He visited the Fine Arts club while they were putting up their haunted house display and quickly went on board with it. It appears to be one of the main reasons why he signed up as a club member.
203* NoFullNameGiven: Like his sister, only his last name is ever revealed.
204* SiblingYinYang: He's a quiet but intelligent boy, while his sister is a loud and hyperactive, but rather dumb.
205* UncannyFamilyResemblance: He and his sister look almost exactly alike.
206[[/folder]]
207
208[[folder:Fujiko Nozaki]]
209Namiko's older sister and the Art Club's former president. Currently in college. An infamous artistic genius with unparallelled charisma, and an outrageous personality to match. First appears towards the end of volume five, and thus never got an appearance in the anime. She has apparently left Namiko some tall boots to fill.
210----
211* BigEater: Her first appearance at home has her eating the entire contents of the fridge, including Namiko's intended lunch ingredients. School cafeteria workers noted when she was in school, they used ''one extra sack of rice'' a day...
212%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
213* DitzyGenius: She's a very talented artist, but the school staff seem to remember her more for her [[BigEater big appetite]] and [[CloudCuckoolander weird antics]].
214* NumericalThemeNaming: Fu'''ji'''ko (two), compared to Na'''mi'''ko's three.
215* ThePrankster: She's quite infamous for her wild antics. Tales of her mischief include: forging the graduation stamp out of an eraser, sneaking into the Art Club room through the gutter, pulling a "ninja move" on Sotoma to say hello, etc.
216* ShipperOnDeck: Downplayed. She seems to support Awara and Uozumi getting together, but doesn't really do anything to push the relationship aside from asking about their "progress" and smiling suggestively when she spots the two of them together.
217* SiblingYinYang: Adventurous and mischievous, compared to the straight-laced and long-suffering Namiko.
218* TeenGenius: "Twice Masa's brain power"... sure she is.

221!Teachers
222
223[[folder:Takuma Sotoma]]
224-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KyouseiTsukui.
225
226The first-year GA class's homeroom teacher, and also in charge of design classes. Although he takes a StraightMan role in his interactions with his students (especially Noda and Tomokane), he's very popular. [[WordOfGod According to Kiyuduki]], he's the kind of person who doesn't lose his dignity as a teacher even when fooling around with his class.
227----
228* MustHaveCaffeine: Drinks at least four cups of coffee a day, which ''Tono'' (of all people) criticizes him about.
229* NotSoAboveItAll: At the end of Sasamoto's Croquis drawing class (in which the students are asked to quickly draw each other [[ItMakesSenseInContext in wacky costumes]]), Sotoma is seen among the peanut gallery, commenting that [that] year's costumes are just so-so".
230* ObliviousToLove: Usami has a big crush on him, and he doesn't notice at all.
231* OnlySaneMan: He's pretty much the only teacher who takes his job seriously.
232* SternTeacher: He's quite strict with his students, criticizes quite openly, and doesn't take any excuses for poor submissions. He even tells off Usami because she's not behaving like a proper teacher.
233* StraightMan: Most of his role in the manga consists of him angrily reacting or getting frustrated to the GA students' (especially Noda's) weird hijinks.
234[[/folder]]
235
236[[folder:Mayumi Usami]]
237-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/OmiMinami.
238Sotoma-sensei's assistant who also teaches painting. When she first introduced herself, she was so nervous that she accidentally mispronounced her own family name, so she's gained the nickname "Same-chan-sensei". She is also a graduate of Ayanoi, and tends to act much younger than her coworkers. She is anemic.
239
240----
241* OddFriendship: She's good friends with Tono and often go to her for support, despite the fact that they have opposite personalities.
242* OneOfTheKids: For starters, she fears blood donation more than her students...
243* SenseiChan: Very timid and childish, that most of her students treat her as a fellow friend rather than a respectable teacher.
244* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's one of the victims of the art club's haunted house.
245[[/folder]]
246
247[[folder:Sasamoto]]
248--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MinamiTakayama.
249The third-year GA class's teacher, adviser of the the Fine Arts Club, and teaches sketching. Called "Tono-sensei" by her students, and is an infamous hardass who is well-loved despite acting like a grump most of the time. She's a chain smoker of legendary proportions, to the point where she was once asked "Which is more important to you, me or tobacco?" by a former boyfriend. Has previously made Aa-san a cardboard dog house and actually stuck her in it.
250----
251
252%%* DeadpanSnarker
253* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The art club members call her "Tono-sensei", and doesn't appear to know what her actual name is. When they want the first years to find her, they try to describe her appearance and personality instead.
254* TheGlassesGottaGo: Invoked. She offhandedly jokes that she could pass for a world beauty if she took off her glasses.
255* HypocriticalHumour: At one point criticizes Sotoma's coffee addiction, in spite of her even worse smoking habits.
256* MemeticBadass: InUniverse. Many of the G.A. students revere her and bow down to her authority, hence her nickname "Tono" (which literally means "lord"). In reality, she's just a grumpy chain smoker who can barely do any physical work without injuring herself.
257* MustHaveNicotine: She can get pretty scary when she hasn't had enough cigarettes lately.
258* NoFullNameGiven: Her first name is completely unknown.
259* OddFriendship: She's good friends with Same-chan-sensei, despite having completely opposite temperaments.
260* SheCleansUpNicely: Usami dolls her up for the third years' graduation, and Homura, in a typical fashion, gets a crush on her.
