Jun Sasada

Jun Sasada is one of recurring characters of Natsume's Book of Friends. She is the class president of Takashi Natsume's first-year class, Class 2. Sasada suspects that Natsume can see yokai, although he repeatedly denies this to her. She moves to the city after her initial appearance in the manga due to her step-father's job, but is a recurring character in the anime as part of Natsume's group of friends. In the anime, it is suggested that Sasada has developed a crush on Natsume following the events at the old school house, and much to his chagrin, frequently tries to accompany him when he is on business involving yokai, even though she hasn't been particularly successful. Sasada wears glasses and has dark brown eyes and straight, shoulder-length brown hair. She clips her bangs to the side with a green hair-clip, and is most commonly seen wearing the school's uniform. In flashbacks, she is shown to have worn her hair in pig-tails. As class president, Sasada acts authoritatively towards her classmates, and can be a bit bossy at times. Takashi Natsume notes that despite her complicated family situation, Sasada is a hard and efficient worker. As shown by how she looked for Shigure in the old school house every day to thank him for returning the amulet to her, Sasada greatly appreciates kindness, and is a very determined person who won't give up once she sets her mind to it. Her persistence is also demonstrated when she frequently follows Natsume around and asks him about what he's doing, possibly because she has feelings for him.
