Compared to other characters, she is exceptionally small, although it has been hinted that she may have a late growth spurt and she actually grew several inches during winter.

Personality (1st half)

Nagatoro comes off as an energetic, cheerful, sarcastic, flirtatious, prone to fast talking and moving individual with a sadistic streak. She loves to bully senpai and finds joy In teasing him, however, although it appears she just wants to torture him, there seems more to it than that. In early chapters her antics could easily be described as "sadistic", frequently making senpai cry, but she soon develops feelings for the boy, and even apologized for "doing messed up stuff" to him, and asked him why he didn't stand up to her. Since then her bullying has mellowed out, and she even frequently outwardly acts outwardly friendly to senpai, despite continuing to call her a "creep". As time passes, she occasionally defends senpai's dignity and is even shown to be quite concerned about senpai getting quite angry at her as well as being sincerely sorry for going too far. Nagatoro Is very much a Tsundere, despite denying her mad crush on senpai and frequently Mocking him. Despite belittling him, she care greatly for senpai, being quite bothered when senpai says "all he can do is draw" and getting motivated/angry enough by his lack of self confidence to begin personally training him. She also enjoys senpai's company very much, but rarely outwardly shows it. Albeit when she invited him to the beach or to her house, she shows her intentions to enjoy it and to "do It again sometime". However, she reacts very flustered and nervous when he does the same. For example, her face wearing an expression of extreme shock when senpai joked about failing a grade to spend more time with her, although she was angry when he did not fail, saying "do you hate spanking time with me that much senpai...?".

Personality (2nd half)

Although very popular among boys, with several of them often hitting on her or her friends, she always rejects them and shows herself to be bored, contrarion and standoffish while talking to them, despite her obvious crushing on senpai. Her occasional corners seem to be for senpai alone. It's implied that Nagatoro uses casual rudeness toward senpai In order to deflect her real intentions, taking three steps in with her suggestions. Examples include suggesting wearing matching outfits to a festival or convention, then jokingly shut that idea down, saying it would be gross, including herself graduating closer to you, thus defusing the situation for the moment while leaving a kernel of hope for senpai. It's also shown that Nagatoro is a sweeter and and more empathetic person than she lets on and that she's more susceptible to senpai's kindness than you he realizes, even tenderly hinting to him. She also has a deep sensitivity towards the arts, whether it be movies, paintings, dance, poetry and music. She seems to enjoy appreciate senpai's art, frequently encouraging him to enjoy more and forcing him to use her as a model for his art. Although, whether or not it's to train him how to draw a female body, get him to draw her specifically or is just an excuse to spend time with you and tease you more, is unknown. Nagatoro herself also occasionally draws.

sexuality

Despite very frequently making sexual jokes to senpai, Mocking him for being a virgin and calling him a pervert, she is very nervous and sensitive about sexuality. For example, when senpai was giving her a piggyback ride and his hand slipped to her upper thigh, she proceeded to jump off and ran away with minimal explanation and a nervous and terrified experience on her face, when senpai meant to push into her elbow and instead hit her breasts, she was very outwardly shocked and embarrassed for a couple of seconds, she had no problem riding senpai like a horse for "muscle training" until two unnamed girls saw it making her very self aware and causing her to immediately jump off, when she accidentally facetimed senpai in the bath, she screamed in terror, when she and senpai were trapped under a gazebo when it was heavily pouring down rain and he saw her drenched clothes and bra, she instantly blushed in frustration, almost all those times however, Nagatoro recovered again after a couple of seconds and started again to accuse senpai of groseness and sexual perversion, although he eventually realized that Nagatoro would be at a loss if you actually responded to her taunts romantically and that she is all bark and no bite, especially due to the fact that she can get as embarrassed as he does. The hypocritical humor of Nagatoro constantly teasing senpai about being a virgin is that she's obviously as inexperienced with physical intimacy with the opposite sex as he is.

other important information

Nagatoro has a complex for her bust size and appears to be very self conscious as well as jealous and possessive. In the beach chapters when Gamo-chan and Yoshi were harassing senpai with their large boobs, Nagatoro gets frustrated, took off of her clothes as well, stood in a bikini in front of him, and demands senpai to buy drinks. She was mortified also when learning Gamo-chans prank senpai to have him "molest" her boobs - due to her jealousy since she is least buxom amongst her friends - but nervously laughed it off a hilarious prank upon learning that she had stuffed anpan in her breast and senpai never actually touched them. it also appears that Nagatoro's teasing is somewhat just a front, a coping mechanism to mask her insecurities and inner nervousness. She is also very athletic, loves the beach, is a fantastic swimmer and a superb skier as well as having a huge passion and proficiency in various styles of martial arts; She shows her willingness to train senpai after his poor performance at a marathon and easily outpaces him during their training runs. Most notably, Nagatoro doesn't like shoes, as she rarely wears socks and is frequently bare foot when she can get away with it.
