Nirima

**Nirima Kabutomushi** ("Nirima") is one of the main cast in Sensei Overnight. She is one of the seven original members of Class 3B.

## Background

Apart from Mori, Nirima is one of the few girls in the class who refuses to get along with Janu. She's repeatedly reffering to him as "old man" and pointing out his flaws, trying to bellitle him and prove her superiority in any possible way. But unlike her, she does not insult Janu in order to drive him away, but mainly to boost her own ego. She volunteers along with Nokana in the same bookstore where Janu often visits her, usually to her displeasure, since Janu adapts to her game and often teases her. She's also serving as the vice-president of the student council, assisting Anii. Over time, however, despite her constant bellitlements, she and Janu begin to get along somewhat and are able to have serious conversations on various topics with each other. Nirima, like Mori, decides not to turn Janu to authorities after one of his episodes, but instead talks to him about a problem he is struggling with. Likewise, they ally in Sora's best interest when she learns about her sleeping problem, and they both discuss the best approach to help her.

After the entire class 3B is moved to a new world, she undergoes a big change, although she keeps majority of her personality traits. She no longer works in the bookstore with Nokana, but as Tami's assistant in the hair salon instead. She is also much more interested in fashion trends and cosmetics and completely changes her hairstyle. She now also wears a lot of makeup. This goes completely against her original personality, as she repeatedly stated hating to dress up and being "someone's hina doll".

## Personality

In the beginning, Nirima comes across as someone with a huge ego, which she constantly shows not only to Janu, but also to almost everyone else in the class. This has caused everyone to try to avoid her, except perhaps Mori and Anii. Nirima often attempts to prove her superiority to everyone around her, especially in intelligence and board games, and therefore takes it hard when someone bests her at it, such as when Anii repeatedly beats her at chess. Her ego eventually drives her to a bet with Tuli, which involves locking her in a dark room where Tuli suffers a breakdown, which enrages Dayai and Tora to the point where Tora slaps her. From that point on, Nirima rather holds back, somewhat easing up on both her ego stroking and her belittling of others. Only through the persuasion of Tuli herself, she reconciles with her and partially with Tora and Dayai as well, gradually becoming much more bearable for others. Despite all this, however, Nirima has a serious and somewhat friendly and caring side to her personality which is shown in serious situations and especially after the bet with Tuli, which she is shown to genuinely regret.

## Entries

As first impressions go, I don’t think I’ve made the best one on Nirima. To be fair, she didn’t make a good first impression on me either. I’m not sure what her deal is, maybe she is just self-confident as she said, maybe she’s just vain, or maybe she craves attention... Who knows, not like she’ll tell me... I guess I’ll have to soon find out.

Okay, so…Nirima isn’t the absolute worst person to hang out with. I’m sure she only tolerates me because she finds entertainment in watching me try to keep up with her with pretty much anything she talks about, but she at least has a side to her that isn’t 100% bitchy. Damn, I shouldn’t say that about her… Ah well. My journal, my rules.

I’m glad that the whole drama between Nirima and Tuli seems to have passed. I probably have no right saying this, but that girl needs to hold onto all the friends she can get. She’s not exactly the most popular person in the class (that would be me, obviously). I don’t think she was lying when she assured me that I didn’t hurt her back in the bookstore, but now that she knows something’s up with me, I can’t help but worry if she’ll go against her word and tell everyone in the class about that incident in the future…

## Trivia

* Nirima has a crush on Nokana's brother Niji, which they both know about, but neither wants to hurt her feelings by informing her about Niji's homosexual orientation.
* Her mother is a behavioral therapist, which resembles in Nirima's ability to provide counselling for both Janu and Sora.
