Madoka Kōmoto

Madoka Kōmoto is a first-year student, also the only daughter of local Shinto shrine, owned by her family. As a miko outside of her time at school, she is often found sweeping leaves off the sandō, reading books to children at the Yamabiko library or less commonly, in the company of friends. In both visual novel and anime, Madoka is appointed as the new divine dancer of new year eve's rite held in the shrine.

Appearance
Madoka has indigo-blue irises and long, silky straight indigo-blue hair extends to her crotch (usually tied by a narrow white belt). She is also quite slender and well-endowed despite she is one year younger than Kazuma Hoshino.

Apart from school uniforms, Madoka is often seen in miko's costume, given the fact she's a miko herself. But she also wears white longuette and strawhat when going out with friends. In anime, she has more diversified clothing.

Personality
Growing under protection and strict education from her grandfather, also being the successor of her family's Shinto shrine. Madoka became gentle, polite, shy, reserved, and antisocial, also developed a mild heterophobia. Evidence is when she met Kazuma in childhood, she told him she doesn't have many friends; also in visual novel, when the group visits beach in summer vacation, she says this is the first time for her to see the ocean; however the most notable example is she panics and tosses any boys who touch her away, violently.

Madoka is quite determined, she took Kazuma's promising of reunion seriously and waited for him for eight years. After becoming Kazuma's lover, she tries her best to overcome heterophobia for being a good girlfriend to him.

However Madoka is still a fragile girl afterall, as seen in the end of visual novel, she cannot preform the mikomai of new year eve's rite well, without Kazuma by aside.

Ironically, all Madoka's traits, including heterophobia, bring her popularity among students. Daigo Minamikokubaru describes her as a "Yamato Nadeshiko".

Romances
In the visual novel, Madoka "first" meets Kazuma Hoshino in her family's Shinto shrine. She is shocked by him and even further shocked by acknowledging his name and runs away.
