Nobuko Katou

Nobuko Katou is a captain of Atawan High School. She serves as a field commander, with the typical leadership talent that Atawan is known for. She is an A Rank Fighter, though the weakest among the field commanders of the school.

Appearance
Nobuko is an exceptionally short and slender girl, not even reaching 5 feet in height. She has short pink hair, and typically dresses in pastel colours to match it.

Personality
Nobuko is a quiet, observant sort of girl. Despite most people's assumptions, she's not shy, and enjoys spending her time with other people, but she rarely has much to say. When she is pulled into a one-on-one conversation, she proves to be quick witted and insightful.

Abilities
Nobuko is a strong combat leader, providing excellent direction from the back lines, and easily finding and exploiting the weaknesses of her opponents. In single combat she is a master of the Owl's Watch fighting stance.

Takehiro Himura
Nobuko isn't particularly fond of Takehiro. She respects him as a leader, and in the past considered him a friend. In recent times however, she's listened to much of Suzu's complaining about his harmless quirks,and gotten a slightly distorted view of their relationship. This has likewise warped her perception of Takehiro, and made her suspicious and distrustful of him.

Suzu Kazama
Nobuko and Suzu get along very well. Suzu provides a lot of assistance to Nobuko in her strategizing, and helps Nobuko keep up with her Shingo and Yui. Nobuko is fiercely protective of Suzu, as well as a little jealous of others who get close to her.

Shou Kazama
Nobuko and Shou are dating. They started dating shortly after Suzu and Takehiro. Suzu acted as a matchmaker for them, since they're both very quiet people. Though she's reluctant to admit it, much of Nobuko's interest in the relationship is simply that she finds Shou hot. When she's with him she gets a lot more talkative to carry the conversation, but with how little he responds she finds it hard to properly understand him. Despite this, they are growing closer, and Nobuko's interest is starting to be less dominated by physical attraction.

Shingo Fukui
Nobuko has very mixed feelings about Shingo. From her friendship with Suzu she knows that he's a bit of a creep, and that he has a lot of disdain for others. On the one hand, she wants to punch him for his interest in Suzu. On the other hand, she finds his arrogance hot, and part of her wants to date him if her and Shou ever break up. Because of this conflict, she's cordial with him, but not overly friendly, to allow herself to keep her options open.

Yui Miyashita
Nobuko likes Yui, despite the meanness of their interactions. She hears from Suzu about how she pities Yui, and seeing how she acts in the strategy meetings, and the aggressive way she tries to bully Nobuku, she broadly agrees with it. For this reason, she dreams of one day being friends with Yui, but can never muster the courage to ask her to hang out, or dig into the reason behind her bullying.
