Nokotan

Noko Shikanoko (鹿しか乃の子こ のこ Shikanoko Noko), or simply Nokotan (のこたん), is a unique human-deer hybrid and the founder and mascot of the Deer Club at Hinominami School.

She is a transfer student who becomes the best friend, classmate, and clubmate of Torako Koshi.

She is the titular character of the Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan series who makes her debut in Chapter 1 of the manga and "Girl Meets Deer" of the anime.

Shikanoko Noko is shown to have a bubbly personality, always happy but yet is still clueless and clumsy. Unlike her titular counterpart, she is an excitable, fun-loving girl who lets her immaturity shine, from encouraging and finding sex jokes funny, to picking fights with others who have the high ground against her.

She is carefree, energetic, and is constantly unpredictable due to her supposed naivete. She engages in many quirky behaviors that would normally shock others and catch them off-guard.

Despite this, it seems that her antics only affect the sanity of Koshi Torako, who more often than not ends up questioning her tendency to be the only one seemingly self-aware of what is happening.

As opposed to being seemingly naive, she has times where she lets her true intelligence shine, more often than not in the form of psychological manipulation against Koshi herself, which the latter never fails to fall victim to.

Appearance: Shikanoko Noko has large, expressive green eyes with fine, delicate eyelashes that subtly frame her eyes. She has light brown hair styled into a neat bob cut that falls just above her shoulders. Her bangs are straight and slightly parted in the middle, gently curving to frame her forehead and blend seamlessly with the rest of her hair.

One of her most distinctive features is the pair of large, light-colored antlers protruding from the sides of her head, resembling those of a deer. These antlers are rough and extend outward and upward.

She wears a traditional Japanese school uniform. The top is a crisp white sailor-style shirt with a classic dark blue collar edged with a lighter blue stripe. A light blue scarf is neatly tied at the front. The sleeves of her top are long and extend to her wrists, with dark blue cuffs that match the collar, also trimmed with a light blue stripe.

Her outfit includes a pleated navy blue skirt that reaches mid-thigh. The pleats are sharp and well-defined, suggesting that the uniform is well-kept. Her legs are clad in white knee-high socks that reach just below her knees, contrasting with the navy blue of her skirt. She completes her outfit with brown loafers that are practical and stylish. The loafers are polished and well-maintained, indicating attention to detail in her appearance

The Deer Club (シカ部ぶ Shikabu) is an extracurricular club founded by Noko Shikanoko wherein its goal is to have its members take care of deer and perform "deer-like" activities.

The location it uses is the formerly abandoned warehouse of the Hinominami High School, with its president being Torako Koshi.
