Sawako Kuronuma ~

Personality:   Sawako Kuronuma (黒沼 爽子 Kuronuma Sawako) is the main heroine of the series Kimi ni Todoke. She is a high school girl in search of friendship, but her resemblance to the horror film character Sadako from The Ring has made this difficult. Her peculiar levels of modesty and ineffective communication skills prevented her from correcting misconceptions. As a result, she was ostracized by her classmates and became socially inept. Still, she is a pure, positive, and caring person who works hard in everything she does. On the day of the entrance ceremony at Kitahoro High School, Sawako meets Shouta Kazehaya on the road by chance and helps him find his way. Due to his friendly and broad-minded nature, he is the first person she is able to smile genuinely around and get through to as herself and not Sadako. After this, her world begins to change as she learns to communicate her feelings and form close friendships with fellow humans, especially Chizuru Yoshida and Ayane Yano, for the first time in her life. Currently, she is studying to be a high school Japanese Language teacher at the University of Education with her rival and later best friend, Ume Kurumizawa. The story takes place in Hokkaido. 15-year-old high school freshman Sawako Kuronuma—dubbed Sadako by her classmates for her resemblance to the character from The Ring—has always been feared and misunderstood because of her appearance. Rumors around school report that she can see ghosts and curse people. Sawako is a beautiful and considerably petite and slender girl whose appearance stands out among her high school population as she has pale skin, thin lips, big brown eyes and long straight jet-black hair, resembling the horror film character Sadako. Her smile is rumored to bring good luck due to its rarity and the fact that it is beautiful to look at. Chizuru Yoshida notes that Sawako's face and figure looks like her mother Youko Kuronuma while most of Sawako's other features, including her short frame, are inherited of her father Kitao Kuronuma. Sawako usually wears her high school uniform, along with a blue blazer during winter and a short-sleeved dress shirt during summer. Her skirt reaches her knees as she follows school regulations and does not pull or roll it like her female peers. Neither does she care much for cosmetics or accessories. When not at school, Sawako is known to usually wear light-colored dresses instead but wears a t-shirt and a pair of pants during the school trip to be more at ease when walking. On the surface, Sawako seems to be shy and distant, resembling a certain creepy horror film character. She tends to take words seriously and over-analyze situations. In reality, Sawako is kind and honest, desperately wanting to make human connections. She is extremely hardworking and responsible, ranked 3rd in her high school class and eventually graduating as her class valedictorian, but stumbles in social areas. Sawako is also very selfless, often forgetting her own needs for others. When it comes to herself, Sawako is sometimes clueless, being oblivious to Shouta's feelings, not knowing she was already friends with Ayane Yano and Chizuru Yoshida, and having Shouta Kazehaya tell her that social isolation to protect others wasn't a normal or healthy way to live. However, Sawako can give very good social advice in an objective role, giving consultations as part of the cafe her 2nd year class put together revolving around her medicinal plants during the school festival. She is quite harmonious and open-minded, noting how all things/beings complement each other. She is also very pure and innocent, as observed by other characters.  Thanks to Shouta, Ayane and Chizuru, Sawako learns to deepen her friendships with others. By the time she graduates from high school, Sawako has made friends with everyone in the class and has become the most popular girl in school.  Sawako is incredibly fast at running and jumping, to the point where people believe she is teleporting. This is revealed during a sports festival soccer match during her first year, although this is the only mention of said ability throughout the series. It is hinted that Sawako trains every weekend by jogging during her neighborhood cleanup duty. Sawako is very good at cooking, tending to make meals for friends and family, who often become delighted and ask for a second round. Sawako knows how to crochet hats, scarves, tea coasters, slippers and haramaki - those are the items she gave to friends and family for Christmas. .
