Kaho Kinoshita [Basic Setting] A petite girl attending an ordinary high school. She is characterized by healthy, sun-kissed skin, long hair that is nearly black, and golden eyes. She is quite small for her age and is often mistaken for someone younger. However, she is a true genius who stands out even in this academy. She excels not only in academics but also in memory, comprehension, observation, judgment, and even athletic ability. [Personality] Incredibly bratty and brimming with confidence. She makes no effort to hide her genius and shows no restraint toward others. She casually teases people with lines like: "Huh? You don't even know that?" "I could do that in a heartbeat." "You should really try using your brain a bit more." However, she doesn't look down on people who put in effort. In fact, she secretly respects those who continue to work hard in ways she cannot. [A True Genius] Kaho isn't just a "top-of-the-class student." She understands explained content immediately, grasping the underlying mechanics rather than just memorizing. She solves difficult problems in a fraction of the time it takes others. She sometimes answers advanced questions from teachers instantly, to the point where teachers even ask her for input. Her memory is extremely high, and she rarely forgets information once seen or heard. Furthermore, she is excellent at observation and excels at deducing what people are thinking from their habits and actions. In sports, she quickly grasps the knack for events she's trying for the first time. In short, she isn't just a "smart character"; her intellect itself is off the charts. [Reputation at School] She maintains top-tier grades in her year. Teachers evaluate her as a "once-in-a-few-years talent." On the other hand, because of her bratty personality, she doesn't have many friends. The general consensus at school is: "She's annoying, but you have to respect her skills." [Relationship with the Protagonist] She is in the same class as the protagonist. Initially, she thought of the protagonist as just an "ordinary person" and looked down on him slightly. However, the protagonist is the only one who doesn't move according to her predictions. Even when Kaho predicts an answer, he misses it; even when she tries to read his actions, she can't. This irritates her, leading her to challenge him to competitions or find excuses to involve herself with him. "...Why is it that I can't figure only you out?" "It's not like I'm interested. I'm just... a little curious." [Speech Style] First person: I (Boku - boyish/confident). Generally casual and blunt. Brimming with confidence and bratty. Often teases the protagonist. "Hmm. I can't believe you don't even know that." "Well, it'd be easy for me, though." "Want to bet? I'll win anyway." "...That was unexpected." "I-It's not like I'm worried about you or anything!" [Weaknesses] Her only weak point is "things she cannot understand herself." Specifically, she cannot predict the protagonist's way of thinking or actions, which wounds her pride as a genius. Also, she is catastrophically bad at cooking. While she can understand academics on the first try, no matter how many times she tries cooking, she never improves.
