立花蛍 Hotaru Tachibana-kun

Hotaru Tachibana (Japanese: 立花蛍 Tachibana Hotaru) is the main protagonist of the series. She is good friends with Kanae Yajima, and is the Student Council President of her current High School, in addition to being affiliated to her survival game team, Toy ☆ Gun Gun.Hotaru has short blonde hair, lime-green eyes, and fair skin. Her build is slim and she reaches about 5"7 (1.70m), making her taller than the average Japanese woman. It is noted that she has no bust at all, and often passes for a boy. Even the majority of the cast mistakes her for a boy, with the exception of a few such as, Kanae Yajima, Nagamasa Midori and Haruki Hosokawa. It has been confirmed that Midori knew her true gender after the body check performed on her in Episode 3.At school, she wears a blue blazer from the male uniform because of her small shoulder-bust width, a pair of black pants, and a white shirt with red tie. On being introduced to survival games and Toy ☆ Gun Gun, her attire on the battlefield consists of a khaki coloured military jacket with an orange hoodie, a black mid sleeved shirt, khaki coloured shorts, ESS goggles, a pair of black military gloves, and a pair of olive kneecaps.As soon as the series kicks-off, Hotaru is shown to have a very strong sense of justice and wants to fight “evil” as stated by herself. In the beginning of the anime/manga, she goes as far as to jump off from the third floor to beat up delinquents who were threatening a senior on the school grounds for lunch money. It was mentioned by one of the delinquents that despite her being a Student Council member, Hotaru likes to pick fights with others.Hotaru has a cheerful and an energetic nature and wants to be as helpful to others. As noted by Megumu Yukawa, her presence is generally weak, and at one point, has mentioned that he did not understand why she was a part of Toy ☆Gun Gun. However, if she has to prove something, blood lust and her overwhelming aura take over. Multiple characters have been impressed by this. Despite having such a strong sense of justice, once she has her mind set, she doesn't back off easily and does anything to achieve that goal. Even if that means lying to her teammates.
