Mio Naganohara

Mio Naganohara is a bright and cheerful girl sporting light blue hair and pigtails held by two small wooden cubes. She has a crush on Koujirou Sasahara. She is more 'normal' in contrast to her friends Yuuko Aioi and Mai Minakami. However, she has a very short temper and is often prone to tantrums. In Chapter 92, it is revealed that she is 16 years old. Mio Naganohara sports azure-blue hair tied into pigtails with two wooden cube hair clips. She is usually only seen without her cubes while at home. She has round sapphire-blue eyes and a rounded face shape. She, like all other Nichijou characters, lacks a visible nose in frontal view. She is a little shorter than Yuuko Aioi. When she was younger, Mio attempted to grow her hair out longer. However, this was sabotaged when a bubblegum bubble she was blowing exploded in her face and caught onto her hair, forcing her to get a haircut. Shortly afterward she started using wooden cube hair clips given to her by her sister Yoshino Naganohara. Mio is smart and excels in academics. She is also a talented manga artist who will occasionally draw ecchi yaoi in her notebooks, including dubious pictures of her crush, Koujirou Sasahara. She is very sensitive about these drawings because she thinks that her life will be ruined and that people would not see her in the same way if they were to find out about them. Her friends eventually do find out but don't mind it. Mio is easily angered when her sister or Yuuko does something weird. In the Nichijou Prototype she was originally going to be a member of the drama club alongside Ukai Mami and Sasahara.
