Nao

Nao is a replica created by Aikawa Sunao, tasked with attending school in her place whenever the original wishes to stay away. Devoted to literature and defined by her sincere nature, she stands in stark contrast to her creator. During her time as a stand-in, genuine feelings blossomed between her and Sanada Akiya, prompting her to change her hairstyle so he might recognize her for who she truly is. Caught between the fate of existing as someone else's shadow and a romance that feels undeniably real, she strives to prove that her emotions are anything but false.
