Character

Yuzu Aihara

藍原柚子

Yuzu is the main protagonist in the Citrus series. She is the older stepsister of Mei Aihara. Yuzu is a very pretty girl with dyed chestnut blonde hair and emerald green eyes. She also has two piercings in each ear. She is very fashionable and keeps up with the latest trends. Her natural hair color is brown, and during the 17th and 18th chapters of the manga, she temporarily wore a jet black wig. Yuzu is a self-proclaimed gyaru. She is a daring, outspoken, and often shameless girl who enjoys dressing up, wearing make up, and customizing her school uniform, which clashes with her school's rules, often leading to problems with the Student Council. She emphasizes what relationships have to be like in order to cover up her own inexperience with them. She attempts to be as girly as possible and detests the academy's no make-up policy. From the beginning of the manga she is portrayed as a "dumb blonde," yet slowly, as the manga progresses, her more domestic and caring attributes are manifested. She is a creative cook and will often cook for herself and Mei when their mother is busy working.
