Shiraishi (白石) is a supporting character in Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge. She is the class representative of Class 1-F, and admired by many for her beauty and intelligence.
Appearance[]
Shiraishi is a beautiful and stylish girl with brown eyes and long strawberry blonde hair, often tied in short twintails on each side of her head (described as the "idol hairstyle"). Before meeting Tanaka and Oota, she wore contact lenses. After getting to know Tanaka and Oota, she stopped wearing contact lenses and switched to red glasses, due to the contacts hurting her eyes. Outside of school, she prefers a more relaxed and simple style in appearance. She prefers to keep her bangs up using a small hair tie, while wearing a ponytail or twin braids.
Personality[]
Shiraishi is responsible in her duties as the class representative. In addition to being pretty, she is an intelligent and communicative person, which makes her very popular among her classmates. Some male students act as her "defense corps" out of admiration and respect for her, and are depicted as bears in the manga, but are actually surprisingly pure-hearted.
Due to her being a loner back in middle school, there are times when she acts depressed whenever she is reminded of her "lame school girl" days. Some examples are when she mumbles about how Valentine's Day was never important to her when her friend mentions how weird it was of Shiraishi to forget such a holiday, or when she explains that in the past she would just watch the fireworks show on her TV.
She soon develops a crush on Tanaka after he was able to recognize her, even through her plain appearance. It is later revealed that Tanaka was able to recognize her by her breast size, although this is unbeknownst to her.
Etymology[]
The surname Shiraishi means "white" (白) (shira) and "stone" (石) (ishi).
Trivia[]
- Shiraishi is good at various hobbies such as baking and sewing, since she studied those skills in preparation for her high school debut.
- Oota sometimes refers to Shiraishi as Macaron-san, due to the fact that she shared macarons she made with Tanaka and Oota after they helped her with her class representative work.
- After school, Shiraishi occasionally attends the same cooking class as Rino. The two get along well.
