Description
Uruka Takemoto is a third-year student at Ichinose Academy, celebrated for her athletic excellence in competitive swimming. Her national tournament achievements and Inter-High freestyle performance earned her the moniker "Silver Black Mermaid Princess" and positioned her as an Olympic team candidate. She exhibits tanned skin from rigorous swim training, complete with visible swimsuit tan lines, medium-length violet or maroon hair, and violet or pink eyes. Her athletic build emphasizes strong arms and legs, and she typically wears her school uniform with sleeves rolled up, no socks, and a blue cardigan tied at her waist.
Academically challenged across all subjects, Uruka displays a marked aversion to studying but commits to improving her English to secure a sports scholarship at Otowa University and an exchange program with Australia’s Ozway Yorgy University. Her personality blends high energy, cheerfulness, and directness, though she becomes flustered in romantic scenarios. She deeply values friendship, frequently hugging close companions like Rizu Ogata and Fumino Furuhashi, and lives by her personal motto: "If you’re going to cry, do everything you can first and then cry as much as you want."
Her history intertwines with Nariyuki Yuiga since their days at Nanaonan Middle School. Initially terrified of swimming, she overcame her fear through Nariyuki’s encouragement during a class, igniting her passion for the sport. She later chose Ichinose Academy to stay near him, abandoning plans for Futaba High. Romantic feelings for Nariyuki emerged in middle school, which she concealed for years to protect their friendship. She privately practiced calling him "Nariyuki" without honorifics—unlike her nickname habit with others.
Her journey balances athletic drive and academic hurdles. After an overseas study opportunity required scoring over 80% in English, she pursued rigorous tutoring under Nariyuki, showcasing newfound diligence. Her romantic arc peaked when she confessed to him following a disappointing relay race, becoming the first heroine to declare her feelings openly. Their relationship deepened afterward, with Nariyuki using her first name. Despite the emotional toll, she accepted the Australian exchange to chase her swimming dreams. A rain delay on graduation day allowed Nariyuki to reciprocate her feelings, culminating in a farewell kiss.
Years later, Uruka achieved global recognition as a world champion swimmer. She maintained contact with Nariyuki, who eventually proposed with a handmade wedding ring, which she accepted. Beyond swimming, she excels at cooking and singing but rarely reveals her domestic skills. Additional trivia notes her childhood fear of swimming, affection for dogs and karaoke, dislike of studying, and the etymology of her surname Takemoto (combining "military" and "origin") and first name (derived from a Hokkaido term for soaking rice).
Uruka’s narrative represents one of multiple equally valid endings, diverging from a key Ichinose School Festival moment where touching during fireworks symbolizes destined couples. As the first published route, her conclusion is framed as no more canonical than others, emphasizing reader choice in determining the "true" outcome.
