History Characters / ScienceFellInLoveSoITriedToProveIt

* HotForTeacher: She used to have a crush on her math teacher in high school. It was initially treated as a throwaway joke, but got much more [[CerebusRetcon serious treatment]] later as its unfortunate details and impact on Kanade's life are revealed.

* TheGadfly: She likes messing with her lab fellows. Her response to the head petting experiment is to grab Yukimura's hand and nuzzle it while going "nyaa~" just to mess with him, her response to finding out his heart rate was about the same for all three girls is to start laughing, her definition of a date is simply an excuse to go into a long, overly thought-out story about the love between Yukimaru and a male version of Himuro, and she demands Yukimura and Kosuke do the WallPinOfLove experiment together, simply because she finds their discomfort hilarious.

* GyaruGirl: A textbook example, complete with dyed hair, various accessories, acting ditzy and using teen slangs.

* HasAType: He and Ibarada use the Fermi Equation to find the probability of him meeting his ideal type: someone with long and fluffy hair, less than 150 cm tall, wears frilly clothing, and (possibly) tsundere. They crunch a lot of numbers before Kosuke realizes that Ibarada fits this perfectly, and he has something of a breakdown over his refusal to accept this and inability to deny it.

* KissMeImVirtual: It is pointed out that his dating sim "girlfriend", Aika, is basically a digital version of Ibarada. She does not miss an opportunity to exploit this for teasing or trolling him.

* RescueRomance: [[spoiler:She ends up falling for Yukimura after he rescued her from Shikijou’s gang, and scientifically proves that being 'normal' is impossible and it is okay for her to not be 'normal' in the Ikeda lab, thus relieving her of great guilt and anxiety.]]

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Kanade desires to be normal and blend in as shown by her drunken rant in [=S1E07=]. This mentality of hers is {{Deconstructed}} in the second half of Season 2, when the circumstances behind such motivation and the associated trauma become a major focal point in the story: [[spoiler:She reflexively shoulder threw the teacher she was in love with in high school on her first date with him. He was in a rather bad shape and had to be taken to the hospital. In her mind, her "abnormality" (her martial arts background) not only caused her to hurt someone she cared for deeply, but also placed a thoroughly uncomfortable spotlight on them, both from onlookers at the scene and in the aftermath, with nasty rumors about her and her teacher spreading like wildfire throughout her school]]. Ever since then, she has done everything possible to not call attention to herself, suppressing many of her genuine desires in the process, which puts her at odds with Yukimura's ProudToBeAGeek philosophy as he had never known, and does not bother to know, what "being normal" is.

* CluelessChickMagnet: He manages to capture the hearts of quite a number of women without any effort: his childhood friend/colleague Himuro, his student Haru, and even [[spoiler:his kouhai Kanade]]. However, he is unaware of any woman's affection for him unless it is said to him directly.

* Foil: He is a mirror that shows Kanade the flaws in her cred of "being normal". Namely, how the concept of "normal" can be skewed between different people, and how dangerous it can be.

* RescueRomance: [[spoiler:She ends up falling for Yukimura after he rescued her from Shikijou’s gang.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: His true nature as a VERY messed-up individual.

* SenpaiKohai: Himuro and Yukimura mentor Kanade through university life and keep her fed.

* KansaiRegionalAccent: She speaks in a rather sultry Kyoto dialect.

* GuiltComplex: She constantly blames herself and her “abnormal” state for anything bad happening to herself and those around her. This becomes most apparent when [[spoiler:Shikijou kidnaps her and tries to sexually assault her alongside his friends, as she keeps saying sorry to her would-be assailants and thinks of being raped as punishment for not being normal]].

* TraumaButton: Anything that reminds her of the incident where she [[spoiler:reflexively slammed the teacher she had a crush on, hurting him rather badly]] - she can barely keep it together when she accidentally bumps into him again despite holding no animosity towards her teacher himself. This extends to anything that makes her feel "not normal".

* SempaiKohai: Himuro and Yukimura mentor Kanade through university life and keep her fed.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RenaHasegawa (Japanese)

* ArmorPiercingSlap: To Yukimura. [[spoiler: When he chews Himuro out for feeling jealous about his hug with Kanade, she snaps and slaps him.]] Contrary to the {{Dope Slap}}s shown earlier in the show, which is never shown on screen and always for comedy, this time Himuro did it for a serious cause.

* HotScientist: As she’s already very attractive in her normal clothes, when Himuro gets dolled up or shows some skin, she becomes an outright HeadTurningBeauty.

* HotScientist: She's more cute than sexy, but Ibarada isn't without admirers either. She runs into the same pick-up artist Himuro previously encountered, who tries to hit on her as well.

* ShesGotLegs: Her beautiful long legs are accentuated by her pantyhose and high heels.
