Sora

**Soraniyama Otana** ("Sora") is one of the main cast in Sensei Overnight. She is the 11th introduced member of Class 3B.

## Background

Sora went on a trip to Europe like Eruka and Nokana, but returns later than them. From the start, she is incredibly friendly to Janu, as she is to everyone in her class, even Anii, whom she is running against for the position of school president, despite the fact she eventually loses the elections. As time goes on, however, Janu begins to discover that her campaign and the mental health issues she has carried with her since her youth are leaving a significant impact on her. Her parents died in an unknown incident and Sora and her brother Noko were put in an orphanage, which was a difficult time for them. Gradually, they were both adopted into different families, but her parents forbade her from seeing her brother. Later, they planned to move to Phaigon, while Noko was about to return to the orphanage because his adoptive parents didn't take care of their children. Rather than return, Noko hanged himself on the playground where they were meeting, and Sora discovered him already dead there.

## Personality

Whenever she's in public, Sora comes across as incredibly energetic, even to the point where it gets on some of her classmates' nerves, and thus they try to avoid her. Generally though, she's on good or at least acceptable terms with everyone in the class, including her former bully Roni, whom she makes ammends with. However, her out-going personality is just a mask she doesn't take off in front of anyone but Janu. She is much less confident in private, often suffering from depression and sleeping problems due to traumas from her youth. Apart from Janu, only Nirima and Nokana know about her problems, as they see Sora one day in the bookstore on the verge of a breakdown. However, Sora does not want to tell anyone about her problems because she fears that her adoptive parents would force her to return to them.

## Entries

I was warned about Sora before she came back to the country, but I really wasn’t expecting her to be so…nice. She and I have weirdly clicked, and just like most of the girls in the class, she likes hanging out with me for unknown reasons. There’s just one thing, though; I feel like she’s…too nice. There’s no way she’s like this all the time, right?

I think Sora’s presidential campaign has fully worn her out. She’s still energetic in public, but behind clothes doors, she speaks much slower and quieter. She needs sleep. I know she probably gets to school as early as Dayai does, but is that because she barely sleeps at night, or is that because of a deeper-rooted problem?

## Trivia

* Although she dislikes Roni, they reconcile after Sora learns that her reason for bullying her was when she revealed to Nokana that Roni had feelings for her and thus destroyed her reputation in the school.
* She writes many poems and used to compete with Nokana for the most depressive one.
* She wears glasses, but generally doesn't like to wear them publicly as they make her look dorky in her eyes.
* She moved into the dorms later than everyone else, and as such, she doesn't have a roommate.
* She still keeps to an MP3 player Noko gave her, which includes 18 songs in total, and wrote a poem about it.
