Description
Miharu Shimizu recurs throughout the *Baka and Test* franchise as a student in Fumizuki Academy's Class 2-D, serving as class ambassador. Her defining trait is an obsessive romantic fixation on Minami Shimada from Class 2-F. This obsession drives extreme behaviors: forcibly hugging Minami against her will, stalking her movements, hiring others to follow her, and peeping on her during activities like school camps. She once attempted to grope Minami's breasts without consent. These actions frequently distress Minami, sometimes to tears.
Her possessiveness manifests in violently attacking perceived rivals for Minami's attention, especially Akihisa Yoshii due to Minami's crush on him. She physically targets Akihisa regularly, justifying her aggression as protecting Minami from threats. Miharu displays a generalized disdain for men beyond her obsession. In one significant second-season incident, she framed Class 2-F boys for spying on female students to incite conflict, aiming to manipulate Minami into transferring to Class 2-D. She faced no repercussions.
Miharu persistently ignores Minami's clear rejections, convinced they are destined and interpreting resistance as shyness. She vocalizes devotion with declarations like "Miharu loves you so much!" and calls Minami "Darling." She vehemently defends her feelings as genuine love, often stating "Don't mock same gender love!" or "Exactly, gender doesn't matter!" when challenged. She reacts with extreme anger to remarks about Minami's tomboyish appearance or flat chest, interpreting them as insults to Minami's idolized femininity, lashing out with statements like "I'll punish you filthy pigs who are enamored by my darling's beautiful flat chest!"
Physically, Miharu has distinctive orange hair styled in curly twintails or twin drills, often with ribbons, and yellow eyes. She wears the standard Fumizuki Academy female uniform. Her demeanor presents a stereotypically feminine ("girly") manner contrasting Minami's. She possesses a Summoned Being within the academy's battle system and uses the command "Summon!" during fights.
Her character shows minimal development or self-awareness. Her actions consistently involve harassment, stalking, and physical assault, yet she faces no lasting consequences. Her hypocrisy is evident when chastising Akihisa for perceived mistreatment of Minami, despite her own pattern of significantly more invasive and harmful behavior.
