== Charactah Account ==
A deaf girl who was bullied by Ishida in elementary school to the point where she had to transfer away. Despite being a victim of continuous bullying, she always keeps a smile on her face. Years later, Ishida searches for her to apologize. She accepts his apology and starts to spend time with him, even falling in love with him when she sees his efforts to redeem himself.
Shouko is a very easy going person and is able to quickly forgive many, such as Shouya; her childhood bully. She is somewhat clueless and doesn't see herself as a special individual that needs to be pitied. Shouko is also hard to anger and slow to cry, as she has endured a long, painful life; with her mother aside leaving her grandmother to take care of the Nishimiya sisters.
Shouko cares deeply for those around her and rather than blaming the world and people that have hurt her, she blames herself. It has been clearly stated that Shouko hates herself and fears that she is useless. She knows she has been such a burden to Naoka as classmates, and tries to reconnect her ties and help Naoka and all she has 'tainted'.
