Kurokami no Otome

Kurokami no Otome (黒髪の乙女, Kurokami no Otome) or the "Girl with black hair" is the protagonist of The Night is Short, Walk on Girl. She is eccentric and free-spirited, and is constantly moving forward, wrapping up many people and events in her own pace.

Appearance
Otome has fair skin, dark blue eyes, and black hair. She is on the shorter side. During the night she wears a yellow jacket and red dress.

Personality
Otome has a positive, forward facing personality. She never looks backwards during the events of the night. Once she accomplishes something, she moves onto the next thing that catches her attention, constantly moving forward without pause. This behavior tends to wrap up anyone else involved with her and drags them along. At the same time, she is always willing to try new, and oftentimes embarrassing, things. Her confidence makes her the life of the party.

She loves alcohol and has a seemingly bottomless stomach when consuming alcohol. She never seems to get inebriated, no matter how much she drinks. This astounding ability to appreciate and drink alcohol at absurd levels allows her to win a drinking competition against Ri Haku, who had never lost a drinking contest before Otome comes along.

Otome is also sentimental and tends to think about the past fondly. Senpai gifting her treasured book Ratatatam makes her extremely happy.
