(Real) Yua Kusunoki

The real Yua Kusunoki (楠 優愛, Kusunoki Yua) was a third year student at Suimei Academy in the same class as Sena Aoi. She was the sister of Mia Kusunoki, who impersonated her after her death.
==Appearance==
Just like her sister, Yua had long, pale blonde hair with a grey hair clip attached on the left side and dark green eyes. She had a long and slender frame and was always seen dressed neatly. Due to her poor eyesight she used glasses.
She wore the standard Suimei Academy uniform. Notably, she wore a long skirt that went just past the knees, instead of a short skirt like all female Gigalomaniacs except Mia wear.
== Personality==
Yua Kusunoki was kind, orderly, very sociable, and perceptive of others, especially of her sister Mia. She loved Mia and was shown being happy and excited when she was asked for a favour by her. She was described as perfect by Mia. In contrast to Mia, she was not as knowledgeable about the Internet.
==Plot==
Main article: Yua route
When Yua and Mia were small, they received a teddy bear as a present. Mia refused it even though Yua had said that they could share it. A month later, after she had stopped to regularly play with the bear, she found Mia playing with it and later found a drawing of it underneath Mia's pillow. Yua had to always blow out the candles of their birthday cakes since Mia refused to do it. Similar incidents followed throughout the years and Yua was consequently always seen as the good child in contrast to Mia. For her first year of high school in 2008, she enrolled in Suimei Academy, while Mia went to a public high school.
On September 7, 2009, at approximately 5 PM, she and Mia went to the Shibuya McD. There, they swapped clothes so that Yua would attend an offline meeting that Mia was originally supposed to go to, but had decided against it last minute. Somehow, the offline meeting group then landed on the rooftop of Cornelius Tower with the help of "Shougun", aka Mamoru Suwa, where they fell to their deaths while experiencing a delusion of an angry mob and a staircase leading from the rooftop to an adjacent building. This incident was later called the Group Dive. Because she wore Mia's clothes at the time, it was believed that Mia had died instead of Yua.
