Description
Midori Ohno serves as class representative at Kamogawa North High School, distinguished by her chin-length brown hair secured with a red hairpin and consistent wear of glasses over her school uniform. Her personality blends studious dedication with a strict adherence to rules, sometimes resulting in bluntness toward others, yet she harbors deep care for friends and unwavering commitment to her dream of becoming a board game designer. To advance this goal, she obtains special school permission for part-time work at Dice Club Game Shop, leading to co-founding the After School Dice Club with classmates Aya Takayashiki and Miki Takekasa.
Her design journey involves creating original board games amid both enthusiasm and challenges. Meeting established American designer George proves pivotal; his critique of her early prototype initially disheartens her, but she channels the feedback into refining her work. When George later invites her to submit a game to his company's competition, Midori collaborates with Aya and Miki to develop and test a new creation, cementing her resolve to pursue professional design.
Midori confronts self-doubt through interactions with Emilia, a German transfer student and fellow aspiring designer. Intimidated by Emilia's background and perceived advantages, Midori hesitates to share her ambitions. Through open discussions about their futures, she overcomes this insecurity, jointly outlining concrete plans to achieve their goals—showcasing her increased confidence and strategic thinking. Her club relationships deepen as she involves friends in playtesting designs and joins trips like a summer visit to Kanazawa exploring traditional Japanese games, reinforcing her appreciation for shared experiences and collaborative creativity.
Student council vice president Ren Shibusawa attempts to recruit her by citing their middle school collaboration. Midori declines, prioritizing her game shop commitments and design pursuits over council activities, underscoring her focused dedication to her career path. Her surname Ohno translates to "big/great field," while her given name Midori means "green."
