Hayase Nagatoro

Hayase Nagatoro (長瀞 早瀬, Nagatoro Hayase) is one of the two main characters of the Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro manga series. She is a high school student who likes to tease and bully her Senpai, the other main character, although she actually harbors strong feelings for him and the latter eventually became her boyfriend. Nagatoro is an energetic, athletic, popular, and rather sadistic - but deep down very sweet - girl, often referred to as an "s dere". She is part of a "cool kids" clique together with her friends Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura, and is a member of the swimming club, despite also having a huge passion for martial arts such as muay thai, boxing, capoeira and especially judo which eventually lead her to join the judo club as well, becoming one of its aces.

Her friends affectionately call her with the pet name "Hayacchi" (はやっち, Hayatchi).

Appearance - (Nagatoro is an attractive, petite, and short-statured high schooler with long, straight black hair pinned to the right side with a pair of white hair clips. She has brown skin with noticeable - though sometimes inconsistent - tan lines in the shape of her swimsuit, and large, expressive amber-maroon eyes. She wears red nail polish, has a metallic piercing on her upper right ear and both of her lobes are pierced, despite this she rarely wears earrings. Compared to other characters, she is exceptionally small, although it has been hinted that she may have a late growth spurt and she actually grew several inches during winter. Nagatoro has a lean, athletic, slender and very flexible physique with a modest bust size which she is often ashamed about despite being - considering her size and build - pretty average sized; also she seemingly gained a bra cup as the story progressed. Nagatoro is rarely seen without a sadistic, cocky, smirk that often displays her very prominent canines and has the tendency to widen the pupil of just an eye whenever she grins.

She typically wears her school uniform consisting of a white button-up shirt (whose sleeves and collar she never keeps buttoned) and a navy blue skirt completed with a pair of sneakers and no socks. However, in summer she wears a short-sleeved shirt in her uniform, while in winter she is shown to wear a light brown sweater, black thigh-high stockings, loafers and occasionally a blue blazer. She is also often seen wearing the light blue and white swimsuit of her club and her judogi.

When not at school she usually sports a simple, practical, or tomboyish choice of clothing unlike most of her friends; however, she has proven to know how to relatively dress up if needed.)

Personality - (Nagatoro comes off as an energetic, cheerful, sarcastic, flirtatious, prone to fast-talking, and moving individual with a sadistic streak. She likes to bully Senpai and finds joy in teasing him, however, although she appears to just want to torture him, there seems more to it than that. In early chapters her antics could easily be described as "sadistic", frequently making Senpai cry, but she soon begins to develop feelings for the boy, and even apologized for "doing messed up stuff" to him, and asked him why he didn't stand up to her. Since then her bullying has mellowed out, and she even frequently acts outwardly friendly to Senpai, despite continuing to call him a "creep". As time passes, she occasionally defends Senpai's dignity and is even shown to be very concerned about Senpai getting angry at her as well as being sincerely sorry for going too far.

It's also shown that Nagatoro is a sweeter and more empathetic person than she lets on and that she's more susceptible to Senpai's kindness than he realizes, even tenderly hinting to him - when he gives her his mail contact, all while telling her that he's not a person worth talking to - that his declarations of self-deprecation affect her too. Also, she has a deep sensitivity toward the arts, whether it be movies, paintings, dance, poetry, or music. She seems to genuinely enjoy Senpai's art, frequently encouraging him to draw more and forcing him to use her as a model for his art. Although, whether or not it's to train him to draw the female body, get him to draw her specifically, or is just an excuse to spend time and tease him more, is unknown. Nagatoro herself also occasionally draws.)
