Otorimonogatari: Decoy Tale

囮物語

Nadeko Sengoku is a middle school girl with a fondness for hats. These serve as a line of defence against eye contact, along with the overlong bangs she has worn ever since she was little. She speaks in fits and starts when she does not fall completely silent. Her go-to line is "I'm sorry," and she is given to referring to herself in the third person. She is pretty, and not just cute.

The hats and bangs create a barrier between her and the people around her, while her halting speech and constant apologies make conversation difficult. Even when she does speak, her third-person way of referring to herself sets her apart from others. This contrast between how she looks and how she behaves shapes her daily life at school, where her defensive habits define each interaction and keep her at a careful distance from everyone.
