Nayuki Minase

Nayuki Minase is Yuichi Aizawa's cousin whom he hasn't seen for seven years prior to the series.

Appearance
Nayuki has a thin figure and light complexion and strongly resembles her mother. Nayuki is of medium height and has pretty blue eyes. She has long straight blue-black hair and uses her fringe to completely cover her forehead. At the top of her head, she parts her hair in arcs to form to triangular tips in the middle. She lets the sides of her hair loose near her face, cutting it around her neck. The rest of Nayuki's hair goes down to her waist. Unlike her mother, she usually keeps it unbraided.

She is often seen wearing her school uniform, but is also seen in her residence wearing her pajamas.

Personality
Nayuki is captain of the track team at her school. She also has trouble waking up in the morning. There would be dozens of alarm clocks going off and she would still be sound asleep. Sometimes, she falls asleep at the dining table.

Nayuki is highly allergic to cats but she loves petting them. Yuichi often stops her in time. Nayuki is secretly in love with Yuichi, but when she saw that he liked Ayu, things changed.

One of her defining features is that she tends to talk slower than the rest of the characters. She will often state the obvious to Yuichi, such as when lunch break occurs or when school ends. Also, when Yuichi breaks a promise with her, she often calls him a liar. Nayuki is second to Ayu as the most used character in the series' marketing. Also, in both anime adaptations, her story runs at the same time as Ayu's. In the anime and manga, it shows how Yuichi had rejected Nayuki years ago when she tried to confess to him because of Ayu's accident.

Trivia
