Chiyo Sakura

Chiyo Sakura is the main female protagonist in the anime and manga series Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun.  She's a student at Roman Academy. She's a huge fan of shoujo manga, and is hopelessly in love with Umetarou Nozaki, one of the creators of a manga she likes, and she recently found out that he's a classmate of hers. She attempts to pursue these feelings by confronting him, but she's so flustered that she's unable to tell him how she truly feels. Instead, she becomes his manga assistant in charge of filling in the betas, all the while trying to come up with the courage to explain to him how she truly feels. 
She is voiced by Ari Ozawa in the Japanese version of the anime, and Juliet Simmons in the English version of the anime. Both Ozawa and Simmons also voiced Kurumi Ebisuzawa in Japanese and English, respectively.
==Appearance==
Chiyo Sakura is a short teenage girl with extremely long silky orange hair, that stretches just slightly below her neck and shoulders, pale skin, purple eyes, and two ribbons tied in her hair that are mostly red with dozens of tiny white dots littering them. She's always seen wearing the standard uniform of the girls at her school, which consists of a navy blue skirt that don't quite reach her knees, a white undershirt covered by a gray, thin jacket, open at the front, and a blue ribbon tied to her shirt.  She wears long, black stockings on her feet and legs, and brown shoes on her feet.
==Personality==
Chiyo is a bright, cheerful and excitable young girl who has been shown to be very easily influenced, often letting her imagination go wild. For example, she became excited when Mikoto Mikoshiba first introduced her to Yuu Kashima and hugely misjudged their relationship. Chiyo has also been shown, for the most part, to be able to get along with others and seems to be the most normal of the main characters.
Although she is often surprised, and sometimes even annoyed, by many of her friends' odd personalities and antics, she is still friendly to them regardless. For instance, even though Yuzuki Seo is often rude to people, she still managed to be friends with her. This may be partly due to her slight naïveté, however, she often cannot tell why people are annoyed by Yuzuki. Outside of school, Chiyo is also passionate about drawing, as she is a member of the Arts club and enjoys helping out Umetarou Nozaki with his manga.
Chiyo constantly struggles to convey her feelings to her crush Nozaki. Usually jovial, Chiyo is often irked and depressed by her failed attempts to improve her relationship with Nozaki. In her first effort to confess to him he mistakenly misinterpreted her confession as declaring herself as one of his fans, much to her dismay. Since helping his mangaka work as an assistant, she has continued her attempts at winning his affection although her endeavors are often fruitless due to a mixture of bad luck and Nozaki's ironic lack of romanticism. Nevertheless, she does not give up and continues to work hard, something that has constantly concerned others about her borderline fixation on Nozaki.
