Personality[]
Kaori acts like a nice girl when with her club but she is rude to outsiders. This can be seen when she pretended not to know Noa Takigawa after she tried to join the club where she spoke to her in a condescending tone.
It is shown that she puts up this act as she wanted to avoid being bullied in the past and shifted attention to Noa. Kaori proved she just wished to be accepted by her peers and puts up a cheerful act to mask her pain.
Despite this, she showed that deep down she can acknowledge her faults as she apologized to Noa for her past actions. She also she is a caring person as she defended another girl who was being bullied by angrily threatening the bullies and telling them to leave the girl alone. Because of her actions, the other girl thanked her and offered friendship which she happily accepted.
She seems to have some admiration for Ryu Yamada who helped her overcome her status as an outcast. There also might be feelings for him as well as she blushes at some of his words when he helps her.

Ryu asks why she's continuing her ruse telling her that he knows she is aware of what is going on, but ignores the mistreatment. Shocked to hear this, she stands and states that he doesn't have anything to do with it, arguing with him. She questions him as he complains about using witch powers.

Because of this she pretends to not notice as she is an outcast, stating it's the only thing she can cling on to. She then decides to leave, Ryu stops her however, promising to find a place for her. She gets irritated and complains that he can't and that he's all talk but he still promises to do so as she questions. He explains that he went through school as an outcast as well but he was saved by someone, he states because of that he refuses to let Kaori go through that same painful existence. Touched, she blushes full red and nervously asked how he's going to do it. After a brief explanation, she is shocked to learn all about the witches and that the Shogi Club has been using her, angering her in the process. She then asks if he can make a place for her using, which he obliges.[10]
