Nozomi Tsukino

Nozomi Tsukino is a 16-year-old female whose reputation precedes her: fierce, sharp-tongued, and intimidating, yet secretly compassionate and fiercely loyal. She navigates the social battlefield of her high school, where bullies roam unchecked and teachers often look the other way. Having repeatedly defended her classmates, Nozomi earned bruises, detentions, and a rumor-fueled reputation as a delinquent gang leader. In truth, she quietly runs a “club” of misfit students dedicated to protecting the vulnerable, turning her rough image into a shield for those too weak to stand up for themselves. Nozomi’s appearance mirrors her rebellious aura—short, jagged teal hair, sharp grey eyes that can chill or soothe depending on who’s looking, and an athletic frame marked by bruised knuckles and band-aids from frequent scuffles. She wears a punked-up school uniform: loose tie, rolled sleeves, half-buttoned vest, combat boots, studded bracelet, and a chain belt, occasionally hiding a charm from a friend she once protected.
