"Like I'd let some quitter who half-assess her life just waltz in and be a regular again"

- Shikki on Nagatoro

Shiki (志木), better known as "Shikki" (シッキー), is a background character of the Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro manga series. She is a high school student and a schoolmate of Nagatoro and her friends regarded as one of the best members of the school's club. Shikki has held a grudge to the protagonist for years due to considering her a "quitter" for having left the sport, thus often being very harsh to her despite, deep down, greatly respecting Nagatoro; they began mending their relationship after the latter returned to the club. Later in the story, Shikki is appointed as the new judo club head.

Her first name is currently unknown.

Appearance
Shikki is an attractive and very tall, high schooler with long, straight brown hair pinned back in low pigtails, letting her fringe and bangs fall on her face. She has a fair complexion and very large, stern-looking, brown eyes. Her eyebrows are thicker than both Orihara's and Sakura's. She has an athletic, muscular, stunning and quite busty physique - towering by almost a whole foot over Nagatoro - and always sports a sad and grumpy look. Also, Shikki has a tendency to pouting, independently of being angry, embarrassed, intimidated or sorry.

She typically wears her school uniform consisting of a white button up shirt (with tightly buttoned collar) and a navy blue skirt completed with a pair of sneakers and white soccer socks. However, in summer she wears a short-sleeved shirt in her uniform. She has also prominently been shown wearing her.

When not at school she usually wears sporty clothes.

Personality
Shikki is very stern and passionate over judo as, having been defeated by Nagatoro easily she developed a deep respect for her. However when the girl abandoned her active career in the sport for years, she felt offended and got bitter to her, to the point of being angered at the sole idea that someone she considered a "quitter and returner" was simply welcomed into the judo club after having left, rudely commenting that getting hurt meant didn't even trying after injuring the girl's wrist in a match and despising Orihara for forgiving said attitude because of her attachment to the girl due to their past. Despite in those occasion appearing very harsh and spiteful however, Shikki is usually very taciturn and doesn't like to brag about her talent or achievement, as she state to consider "embarrassing" to be called the female judo club's "", she's also very compassionate and has an overall strong moral compass, refusing to report someone who have broken a rule by accident and even getting into trouble in order to help others.

In her daily life, Shikki is also a very mature and level-headed girl; after realizing to having done something wrong, she is quick to admit it and thus apologize for it, as well as being able - albeit with some reluctance - to change her opinion after understanding to having misjudged someone. Shikki is also a bit of a : after having understood her misdeed in hurting Nagatoro she became very caring about the girl well-being but dismissed it as trying to "be even" with her, when Senpai refused her help offer to sneak out of the female showers she reacted sadly but tried to play it cool, she's able to open up about her feelings only when alone with someone. When appointed new head of the judo club, she blushed and bashfully replied that she "gladly accept if everyone's fine with it".

It is also strongly suggested that, despite her toughness among girls, Shikki is in contrast extremely awkward while interacting with boys, as she stammered and acted quite meek and shy while being scolded by Senpai and is visibly frustrated when stuck in a shower box with him. However, regardless of this, she has claimed not to mind a boy "seeing some [of hers] exposed skin" and is seemingly very at ease with her body, albeit being far from completely above shyness at the idea of many people seeing her nudity. Despite this, she managed to talk smoothly with Senpai as time passes, eventually admitting to having been impressed by his bravery; also, as the story progress, Shikki began to develop growing exhibitionist tendencies, due to the President's influence, for whom she has great respect and whose life advice she holds in high regard. Also, similarily to what happened the latter, her streaking misadventures at the school - whom led her to fight some wrongdoers in the nude - caused her to be the source of the legend of Kazehaya High School's "Perverted Hero" (正義の変態が).

A natural-born leader, Shikki is perfectly capable of quickly react and planning schemes or solutions while under pressure or in tense situations as well as making decision matter-of-factly regardless of how hard, distressing or embarrassing it might be for her; being extremely helpful, this happen even when asked for help by someone she barely knows. Shikki is very empathic, can't stand bullies and cares a lot about the well-being of her teammates; her leadership qualities are universally recognized and appreciated by everyone around her, which is why she got appointed as club head by her predecessor; being very humble and down to earth, however, she reacts flattered and blushes bashfully whenever complimented on it.

A recurring gag featuring her saw other characters bump into her large chest while running and fall on their back calling it an "".

Early life
Shikki was born in, , no information about her family or her home life are given. An early bloomer, she hitted puberty at a young age and her chest was already pretty well-endowed at the age of 12.

She seemingly became involved in judo at a young age and met Orihara and Nagatoro in her Junior High years, being utterly defeated by the latter during a championship and thus beginning to greatly respect the girl and her skills. However, after discovering Nagatoro had left the sport she became greatly offended, thus starting to resent her, calling the girl "a quitter who half-assed her life" and feeling very angered when, during the second year of high school, she was welcomed back into the club.

After beginning to attend Kazehaya High School, she became a member of the judo club, making friend with two fellow clubmates, Fujimin and Asaka, also she gained the reputation of being one of the club best member.

Trouble at the Judo club arc
One day, while practicing judo until late evening, Shikki, Fujimin and Asaka spoke badly about Nagatoro during their break time being, unbeknown for them, heard from Senpai. Later, Shikki challenged Nagatoro to a match and eventually hurt the latter's right arm while Senpai was watching. Despite having seriously hurt Nagatoro's wrist, Shikki spitefully mocked her saying that getting injured so easily meant she "didn't even tried". Angered by this, Senpai stormed into the room and confronted Shikki - pleasantly surprising Gamo-chan, Orihara and Nagatoro herself - telling her that what she had said was wrong due to Nagatoro actually trying very hard every day; to which the girl got surprisingly meeker and shy. Seeing their friend in trouble, the other two girls of Shikki's group accused Senpai of being a stalker and spying on them, however Nagatoro intervened saying that the boy always waited for her when she had judo practice; later the girl let herself be taken to the infirmary and discovered that her wrist was broken and would have needed two weeks in order to fully recover. The following morning, Shikki and her group approached Nagatoro and the boy to apologize.

Shower arc
Later that day, while having judo practice, Shikki and her gang saw Nagatoro having a run with Senpai in order to have some basic training and stare silently. Later, finishing her training, Shikki prepared to have a shower in the school gym's showers room while - unbeknown to her - Senpai was showering as well, the boy managed to hide back into his shower box right before she spotted him, however she walked right into his direction. Before taking a shower, Shikki discussed with her friends how, after the place was recently renewed, the positions of the male's and female's room were swapped, despite it was explained only a few hours before to the club members. Then, Fujimin detected "a boy's scent", informed her friends and angrily start looking for him with the other girl while Shikki managed to hear Nagatoro's voice and, thinking she was having a shower where Senpai was hidden, approached said box in order to ask about her well-being and - opening it - found the boy. Understanding the situation, she decided to cover for the boy, going as far as proposing to hide him with her body in order to allow his escape. Feeling bad at the idea of being that close to a girl while both half-naked, Senpai politely refused, prompting her to promise she would have then hurried herself and her friends out of the showers. However, right at that moment more girls entered the shower room, forcing Shikki to enter the box with Senpai in order to keep him hidden and even open the shower head - thus starting showering - to avoid suspicion. Despite the awkwardness, of being stuck in the shower box - fully naked - with him, Shikki began to open up to Senpai confessing that his bravery when defending Nagatoro impressed her and, after the boy apologized for having yelled at her and explained that he did it simply because he knew how hard Nagatoro was trying, Shikki revealed about her past with the girl indirectly admitting that, deep down, she missed "the old Nagatoro". Hearing this from the other side of the shower Nagatoro was moved but Senpai ruined the moment noticing that Shikki's ass was rubbing against his; being unable to move back without opening the front door, the girl decided to turn the other side, ending up touching the boy's back with her bosom. Out of herself for the jealousy, Nagatoro jumped in the gap dividing the male and female shower boxes, squished herself into it and reached the other side, impressing Shikki with the flexibility she remembered and landing right in Senpai's arms after losing her grip. Later, Shikki exited the showers joining her friends and, before walking home with them, advising the pair to wait few more minutes before getting out of the showers. Then, Shikki went to the boys' changing room and took Nagatoro's clothes bringing them back to her.

Field Trip arc
During the free activity day of the field trip in, Shikki noticed her friends staring at Senpai and Nagatoro going on a date and told them to go in the bus instead. However the two managed to sneak away from her surveillance and mess with the couple, leading Shikki to follow them to the Jishu Shrine, helping Orihara stop them, scolding both girls and letting them being spanked by Gamo-chan and Yoshi.

The evening after they came back from the trip, Shikki has a friendly sparring match with Nagatoro, who eventually managed to defeat her.

Training camp arc
After the responsible of the judo club told the members that the coach they had requested has had an emergency and thus couldn't be at their training camp, she and Orihara pointed out having a coach would be indispensable, which lead Nagatoro to propose her siblings as replacements. Later on, before departing for the training camp, Shikki was a little shaken to have Misaki and Taiga Nagatoro as coaches, but had no qualms in having Sakura and Yoshi as special managers and the art club doing their training camp with them; then she travelled with them to the, where they began the training camp and she happily follow the Nagatoro siblings' instructions. At the end of the first day of training camp, Shikki joined the rest of the girls at the.

The following day Shikki listen stunned at Nagatoro bragging about her night at the onsen with Senpai; then has a sparring match with Orihara and, after lunch break, watch alongside Gamo-chan at Nagatoro using her multiple-shapeshifting-style to eventually defeat her sister.

On the last day of training camp, Shikki was selected as a member of the team for the tournament's team battle alongside Nagatoro and Orihara, later she's appointed captain and asked by the responsible to be her successor, which she gladly accept, albeit flattered. Shortly after, the club members were given free time for the rest of the day and she go enjoying the city with her friends, as well as likely sailing with the rest of the group.

Kainan's Big Four
After returing home, she began her role as new head of the club and, few days later, has a quick sparring match with Orihara, getting easily defeated. Few days later she had a practice session with the rest of the club and, after the responsible gave them the next day off, went to the changing room making programs with Asaka and Fujimin; however, noticing Orihara and Nagatoro parting way coldly, she get worried about their relationship and ask Nagatoro not to be so stiff with her.

On August 27th, she took part at the judo tournament alongside Fujimin, Nagatoro, Orihara and Gamo-chan. She watched gleefully as Nagatoro and Orihara made peace and, later, as her former rival defeated her opponent in a single move. Shikki and her team continue performing greatly until eventually they managed to win district qualifiers. The following day, she and her teammates get ready for the individual fights, discovering that Nagatoro and Orihara were placed in different brackets.
