Kaoru Setouchi

Kaoru Setouchi is a classmate of Iori Nagase, Taichi Yaegashi and Himeko Inaba. Initially antagonistic towards Iori, Setouchi later resolves to better herself as a person and is voted Class Representative during her second year. She wants to join the student council. She plans on going to Prefecture S to study at a social science college that researches on cities and villages. Setouchi has long light brown hair, dark brown eyes and wears a pair of earrings with butterfly designs. Setouchi prefers to keep her uniform's shirt untucked and neglects to wear her uniform's ribbon. At the end of the Michi Random arc, Setouchi dyes her hair black and cuts it to shoulder-length. Early in the series, Setouchi is depicted as irritable and short-tempered. She has proven to be a fairly audacious character, not afraid to pick fights with others if her buttons are pushed and unforgiving if wronged. Behind her tough exterior however, Setouchi, in truth, is a very submissive individual who is easily influenced to do out of character things if she feels pressured by her peers. She dyed her hair due to pressure from her previous boyfriend. She is, at heart, a genuinely nice girl who simply wants to be respected and accepted, but she is often misguided in her endeavors.
