Karen Tendō

Karen Tendō is one of the deuteragonists of the GAMERS! series. She is from class 2-A and the president of the school's Game Club. Karen is a teenage girl of average height who has green eyes and long blonde hair. While at school, she wears the same school uniform as the rest of the girls, while also wearing a black ribbon on the back of her hair and a dark blue sweater vest. She can also been seen wearing casual clothes outside of school, which varies depending on the occasion. Karen is considered to be the most beautiful girl at Otobuki High School by her peers, which makes her stand out from both boys and girls alike. Karen is an intelligent girl who studies hard in school and earns top marks as a result. Due to her beauty, she also has a charming personality and she is treated like an idol. She is kind and well-mannered, who is willing to help others, especially her teachers and friends, in times of need. She is also very athletic, as she has managed to reach 100m in just 12.30 seconds on a sprint, thanks to her daily exercises in the morning. She also takes time to properly reject those who have confessed their feelings to her and tries not to truly hurt them. While she is the darling of the school because of these traits, she loves playing video games so much that she is the president of the school's Game Club. She has a competitive spirit, taking every game she plays seriously. She does not seem to handle rejection very well, having burst into tears after Keita Amano rejected her club offer twice. She also developed a tendency to follow him around in an attempt to try and recruit him again. After overhearing Keita's admiring words about her, as he stood up to Tasuku Uehara, she was greatly touched by his kindness and fell madly in love with Keita. As a result, her usual habits have been disrupted, since she can no longer focus on her games as usual because he is always on her mind. Her rejection of boys has unintentionally caused her to act more harshly to them and cause them to run off hurt or walk off upset, much to her dismay. Lastly, every time she sees Keita, she quickly becomes flustered and shy, which is in contrast to her usual calm and composed behavior. Also, she can't help but have various fantasies revolving around him, showing how much she has become fixated on him. When she became Keita's girlfriend, she was very happy about finally being with him, though she is quite jealous with his associations to other girls like Chiaki Hoshinomori and Aguri. Despite this, she still has nothing but care for him and can't help but enjoy his company, as shown when she got excited to go out with him on a date. She also blushed after he held her hand at a festival or when she was touched after he admitted he could think of her for hours. Later in the light novels, she and Keita broke up because she believed that their relationship was due to a misunderstanding. However, she still retained her feelings for him and works to try to win his heart fairly against Chiaki Hoshinomori who also tries to catch his attention. In Volume 11 of the light novel, Keita asked Karen out (without any misunderstandings), and she accepted, making them officially a couple again.
