Ruka Tsukinaga

Ruka is a member of the Rock Band Club, serving as the band's keyboardist and lyricist. Despite being timid, she wears her heart on her sleeve and tends to blurt out whatever she's thinking at the moment, thoughts which often ends up being unexpectedly strange or creepy. She is making the best of her skills in her club by writing their song lyrics. She idolizes Suzu and is trying to become more like her. Due to her shy personality and performance anxiety, she has trouble being onstage. She serves as a mediator to the other standoffish club members. She's often late to off-site club activities because her older brother always gets stuck in traffic whenever he drives her to places. Ruka has big, pale green eyes and long orange hair with several loose, curled strands. Some of her hair is pulled into pigtails held up by red scrunchies or various accessories, depending on her outfit. Her bangs are split down the center, tucked under her short straightened forelocks. Like all the other first years, she wears the red uniform top, in addition to black tights and red flats. She wears a cross pendant around her neck, and is often seen clutching it out of nervousness. During winter, she wears a pink cardigan over her uniform. Ruka is a shy girl who has a bad habit of blurting out whatever is on her mind regardless of how creepy it is. Constantly anxious, she often jumps to the worst possible conclusion in a consistently catastrophizing manner that she must be snapped out of. However, Ruka is fully capable of being bold and often takes part in rule-breaking and risky acts, partly as dedication to the "rock and roll" spirit that the Rock Band Club encourages. She has an alarmingly obsessive nature when in love, as shown around Suzu. She is quite socially awkward but openly expresses affection to her friends. She has deep insecurities and believes herself to be a burden to the Rock Band Club who is inferior to her fellow members. She has an older brother, Leo Tsukinaga.
