Urara Taguchi

Introduces herself to Mariko "Mari" Kumakura and Akiko "Akko" Oohashi in the 2nd year, along with Chiharu Kuno. She resents her parents having given her such a cute and girly name (unfitting for her as she's something of a tomboy). She's in the tennis club, which takes up a good deal of her free time (and because of which she often gets severely sunburned). Despite being best friends with Kuno-chin, is irritated by her constant flow of talk about her "prince"- not least because she herself doesn't really have the time to find a boyfriend. Loves scary stories, but she is easily terrified by them (as shown on the school trip).
