Naomi Sawaragi is a second-year student at Budo-ga Oka, and a minor antagonist on her blog. In one year, she will become an adult antagonist.

## Personality

On the outside, Naomi appears to be very girly and cutesy and a bit ditzy at times.

This is an act to endear others to her and/or get out of trouble. the real Naomi is a conniving little shit with largely negative, critical things to say about people she's never met. Her distaste for boredom often overrides other people's feelings in her mind. She loves to be a witness to other people's drama, and if someone or something is boring her, she isn't going to stick around. Even when Naomi genuinely likes someone, she still tends to start teasing them anyway once she's comfortable enough. She doesn't see anything wrong with any of these things.

One of Naomi's favorite things is to have something someone else wants, being an object of envy gives her a sense of superiority without having to do anything that might damage her facade. On the other hand, if she feels like something that's hers has been taken from her, it will burn her up inside.

## Blog History

Despite the fact that their families have very little in common, Naomi grew up playing with Kunio Ishihara a lot, and by extension, Yomi Hanzawa. She always found Kunio more interesting than Yomi, and so when Kunio made his distaste for Yomi clear, Naomi took that as a go-ahead to start picking on Yomi for fun, but only ever in ways that could be misconstrued as accidents or misunderstandings. She continued to escalate with this behavior until Kunio pretended to ask Yomi out, after which Yomi distanced herself from the pair and was no longer convenient pickings.

Since becoming a high schooler, Naomi has been acting out less and less, sticking mostly to words and manipulation as her weapons of choice these days.

Naomi's presence on the blog has been minimal thus far, consisting mostly of demeaning commentary towards other characters. She's been broken up with by Hirou Urata, flirted with Ryujin Inuoe, attended the Doom Gala with her family, tried to cozy up to Kaiji Futamo, and signed up for the speed dating event that she left with zero hot guys to play with, but hasn't been part of anything significant to any plot as of yet.

## Further Elaboration on Relationships

### Family

Mihime Sawaragi is Naomi's mother. Despite the fact that Mihime is often away at one of her three jobs and therefore a bit distant, the relationship they share isn't bad, unless you're anyone who's fallen victim to the "Plausible deniability" that Mihime taught her. That being said, Naomi sometimes becomes embarrassed if the fact they are related comes to light, considering what her mother is best known for.

Haiji Sawaragi is Naomi's father. He's done his best to raise her with affection, to the point where he's most likely spoiled her a bit. Perhaps it would have been better for Naomi, and by extension everyone else, if he had it in him to say no to her, but here we are.

Naomi doesn't have much contact with her father's relatives, other than her cousin Isamu Tokui, since they're in the same year at the same school. Even then, she rarely speaks to him, and when she has to, it's over text because "when he's writing, it's easier to forget that he's the dullest nerd you've ever heard in your life".

### Friends

Kunio Ishihara has been Naomi's friend since childhood. Their relationship has since upgraded(?) to kissing when no one else is around to do it with instead, but they have no plans to go any further than that. You can often find her draped over Kunio's shoulders or lap like a cat when the two are just sitting around. Naomi is very comfortable around Kunio, and doesn't put on an act when she's with him, which often results in what she perceives as playful teasing. He's never actually told her to stop, so there's no issue with it, right? The two often hang out together and watch movies on the weekends, kissing and cuddling like the dirty harlots they are all the while.

### Acquaintances (Positive)

In a surprising turn of events, despite initially approaching Kaiji Futamo to piss off his fangirls, Naomi actually genuinely enjoyed his company. She thinks it's really fun to watch him tell the other girls to fuck off, and she feels like if there's anybody she can drop her facade and talk shit about other people with besides Kunio, it would be him. She laments the fact that he's acquainted with people who hate her, as if that's not entirely her fault.

On the basis of their one-time interactions, Naomi feels some brand of condescending pity towards Kanako [Last Name] and general positivity about Myrene Sekkei.

### Acquaintances (Neutral)

Weirdly enough, Naomi doesn't hold any real animosity towards Yomi Hanazawa or Merridith Beleza (for now). She tormented them purely for her own amusement and nothing more. What she put Yomi through was because she was constantly nearby, and thus a convenient target. The fact that Kunio hated her was only a bonus. Is that worse? It feels like that might be worse on some level. This does not mean she wouldn't talk shit about them.

### Negative Relations

Hirou Urata is Naomi's ex-boyfriend. Their relationship had been relatively normal until Hirou's grandparents' farm was attacked by Bug Eaten and Not Bug Eaten, landing Hirou in the hospital with no remaining chickens. Naomi understood that losing your leg is an issue, but the fact that he "continued to be a sad sack about the chickens" after she got him new ones was beginning to "bum her out", and she started trying to find more fun things to do (See: Guys to hang out with instead) until he felt better about everything. He then started "whining about *that* until Watanabe got in his head" and he left Naomi. She's still a tad bitter about it, and actually believes things would have worked out eventually.

Despite never having spoken once to Aoi Watanabe or Garner Tenrio, Naomi hates them both for the crimes of "Stealing what's hers" and "Being the worst kind of boring and lame" respectively. She was attracted to Ryujin Inuoe for a time, but lost most of her interest in him when he started hanging around Garner.

Naomi can admit that "Eijiro Otoishi can be pretty when he puts the effort in to not look like a bargain-bin hentai protagonist, but it doesn't change the fact that he's a little freak. I mean, who talks exclusively about ghosts at a mixer?" She doesn't get why Umbra Presley seems to be so obsessed with him.

## Abilities

Naomi is not a stand user, but she is still well-armed with the essential abilities of a shitty teen girl: Getting good grades so teachers think she's a good kid, plausible deniability for any situation where she might come under fire, crocodile tears, nasty comments, and the Cutesy Facade DLC. She took up running to keep herself healthy, which has had the added benefit of making her skilled at quick getaways when necessary.
