- Sunomiya

Hana Sunomiya (須ノ宮 ハナ) is a supporting character of the Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro manga series. She is a high school student who joined the art club during Senpai's third year as well as an acquaintance of his since middle school and the younger cousin of the former President, with whom she shares a striking physical resemblance and habit of public nudity. She is a to all of the other characters and immediately became a huge supporter of the relationship between Senpai and Nagatoro.

Appearance
Sunomiya is a beautiful, shapely and very tall, high schooler with a bob cut, straight dark purplish-black hair and a jagged fringe. She has very pale, delicate-looking, fair skin and sharp, cold-looking crimson eyes. Except for the hairstyle and the slight rounder cheeks - that signified her far younger age - she's almost identical to her older cousin Sana; also, despite her age, she's quite tall and, albeit having a seemingly less athletic physique, sports her same firm butt, massive boobs, thin waist, long legs and slender arms. The girl also has the President's same tendency to rarely smile and is always depicted with a serious look on her face.

She typically wears her school uniform consisting of a white button-up shirt (whose sleeves and collar she always keeps fully buttoned), a red knot tie and a long navy blue skirt completed with a pair of sneakers and light soccer socks. However, in summer she wears a short-sleeved shirt in her uniform, while in winter she is shown to wear a light brown sweater, black tights and occasionally a blue blazer.

When not at school she always sports a very glamorous, refined, Victorian-fashion and feminine choice of clothing, however, she prefers to wear nothing but her underwear when she can get away with it.

Personality
Despite coming off as a stoic, serious and emotionless individual, Sunomiya is seemingly also very well mannered and polite, as she properly greets older students with a bow before starting to talk, raising her hand before asking a question to be sure to have permission and worried not to sound "rude" albeit being quite direct and honest about her thoughts and, while progressively taking a dislike on Nagatoro's clique even going as far as to call them "fiendish spawn of hell". She's very meek and humble, as despite being considered a fast learner and an extremely talented painter, she claimed to have a lot to learn, considers herself inexperienced and regards Senpai as the person who "taught her everything she know". Sunomiya is also very dedicated and enthusiastic about art, stating she looks forward to working with Senpai and that it would be her pleasure to have a rough sketch session with him also she views Nagatoro as "a goddess" due to the influence she had in evolving Senpai's art and graphic style. When she's passionate about something Sunomiya is also extremely energetic, expressive and very eager to anger burst.

Sunomiya also sports her older cousin's same extremely nonchalant attitude about exposing herself, having no qualms in taking off her uniform in front of Senpai; however, she may be still "in the making" as a and visibly blushes while doing it, proving to be at least a little nervous and not as shameless and unaware of erotic situations as her cousin. Nevertheless, she strips very often, has absolutely no problem lightheartedly revealing that "her body has yet to know love" in front of a boy, and seems very comfortable and likely enjoys wearing nothing but her underwear.

Sunomiya's life philosophy is to find beauty in all eccentric things and she does have indeed a love for eccentric stuff; for example, despite believing that Senpai's movement does indeed have a peculiar quirk she also finds it amusing to the point of not having any problem at all in imitating it just for her pleasure. She's also incredibly perceptive and has remarkable detective skills as well as unnatural deductive abilities but often pretend to be "dense" in order to extract information from others.

Due to her age, she always refers to all of the other characters adding the suffix "-senpai" (先輩) to their surnames. Sunomiya is also very physical and has a habit of gesturing a lot when she speaks.

Early life
Hana was born in, , into the Sunomiya family and has an older cousin, Sana who looks almost identical to her. Sharing her cousin's passion for arts, during her middle school years, she joined the school's art club, meeting Naoto Hachiouji and developing a great respect for him.

Beginning high school
After she began attending Kazehaya High School, the girl immediately went to the art club room, accidentally interrupting a conversation between Senpai and Nagatoro and asking to join the club. After Senpai introduced the two girls to one another, Nagatoro gets unnerved to be introduced only by her surname, grade and sometimes harsh manners, while Sunomiya, having heard the word "kiss" while in the hallway and seeing how they interacted with one another, asked if they were dating, which Senpai quickly denied much to Nagatoro's chagrin; then the boy explained to Sunomiya that sometimes Nagatoro modeled for him the previous year, but now she won't have that much time as she has club activity. Hearing this, Sunomiya realized that the club doesn't have any other members and thus she and Senpai would have been alone in the club room; despite Nagatoro trying to have the girl change her mind from joining the club telling her she would have caught Senpai's wriggly motions, Sunomiya stated to be able to find beauty into all eccentric things. Right at that moment, Gamo-chan entered the room to go at judo practice with Nagatoro and, seeing her friend saddened teased her, asking Senpai if he was "switching girls". This embarrassed him in that he had to explain to her that he and Nagatoro were simply trying their best separately. Then Sunomiya reassured Nagatoro to leave Senpai in her care and stripped saying she was ready to pose for him in the nude rather than a simple swimsuit. Outraged, Nagatoro told Sunomiya to put her clothes on again commenting that she's just like the former President, to which Senpai pointed out that she's the President's cousin. Later, Senpai showed his recent paintings to Sunomiya and she told him they seemed more colorful than the ones he did in middle school, guessing it was because of his new model, which she described as a goddess. The boy denied it stating Nagatoro was more like a demon, to which Sunomiya asked why he did so many paintings of her if that was the case, which led the boy to admit he enjoyed painting Nagatoro. Understanding the situation, Sunomiya quoted her cousin who said "Love is something one must seek out and take", and thus told Senpai that he must ask out Nagatoro on a date.

First date arc
However, the boy quickly repelled her suggestion, stating that Nagatoro would have never accepted to go on a date with him, and all it would have resulted from that would have been the boy getting bullied again by her. She then apologized for not being able to advise him better due to her inexperience regarding love. Senpai then apologized in turn for troubling her about this, to which she answered that she didn't mind. Later, as they were leaving the school, Senpai noticed it was getting dark and asked Sunomiya if she had informed her family, to which she replied that someone would be picking her up; right at that moment, her older cousin appeared, riding a motorbike. The elder Sunomiya greeted the boy, asking him if he was alright because she could sense something was troubling him. The younger Sunomiya quickly explained the situation to her cousin despite Senpai's embarrassment, thus prompting the older cousin to tell Senpai he should follow his heart. The cousins then drove away and left Senpai alone with his thoughts, with the younger Sunomiya riding in the sidecar of her cousin's motorbike.

The morning after, Senpai thanked Sunomiya for the advice she gave to him and told her about having invited Nagatoro to the aquarium, leading the latter to happily congratulate him; then the boy left the art club room early to go buy painting supplies, leaving Sunomiya alone when Gamo-chan and Yoshi went there looking for him. At first, the girl thought they were just a pair of delinquents, but after they introduced themselves as friends of Senpai and Nagatoro, she revealed to them that he got out earlier. Then, she heard the pair plotting and understood it as them trying to get in the way of the date itself; therefore, the following day, as Nagatoro and Senpai met at the aquarium for their date, Gamo-chan, Yoshi, Sunomiya and her cousin all followed them, the first two to "protect Senpai's virginity" while the latter pair to "protect his romance".

The Sunomiya cousins tailed Gamo-chan and Yoshi to prevent them from doing anything during Senpai and Nagatoro's date; however, all of them lost track of the couple after they entered the aquarium and, when they finally found them again, Senpai noticed their presence and ran away with Nagatoro. Gamo-chan and Yoshi tried to follow them but are stopped by the Sunomiya cousins; however they managed to escape them, so the two cousins eventually found both girls at the seaside and chased them, accidentally storming on the scene just as Nagatoro and Senpai were about to hug, thus ruining the moment.

The following day Sunomiya brought to Senpai a bento she made by herself and fed him as a way to apologize for what happened at his date with Nagatoro, and they were caught by the girls. Upon hearing Sunomiya's plan to make bento for Senpai the whole week, Nagatoro got jealous and offered Senpai to prepare a bento for him the following day, however, the boy refused, stating that she would have morning training the following day and it would be too much trouble if she would have spent the evening cooking for him. Disheartened, Nagatoro agreed, while all of the girls watch Senpai coolly due to having "made a mess again"; then Gamo-chan convinced him not to be stubborn and accept Nagatoro's offer. Hearing this, Senpai told Nagatoro that he would love to have her bento if she accept to have one from him, which she joyfully accepted. The following morning, Sunomiya and her cousin both have a video call with Senpai and suggested he treat making his bento like a food battle with Nagatoro, but the boy refused.

The following day, after Senpai had lunch with Nagatoro, Sunomiya came into the room and advised the boy to "keep up his guard" as he was "swimming into the open ocean" and thus "water filled with sharks".

Field Trip arc
After Senpai has the first meeting about the schedule of the field trip he was appointed to lead and Sunomiya found him somewhat sad in the art club room, she asked him what happened and he explained the problem he had in making everyone happy with the program, causing the girl to angrily state that there was no way to reach an understanding with "those fiendish spawns of hell", however, Senpai replied that splitting was the only way and Sakura, who came back and overheard them, calmly explained to him that the real reason because Nagatoro got mad was that she was looking forward to enjoying the trip with him. After hearing this, Senpai asked Sunomiya to help him make a simplified version of the trip's program, which she eagerly accepted.

When the boy came back from the trip, Sunomiya greeted him and received some he bought her as a souvenir. The girl promptly asked him if there had been any progress with his romance, leading Senpai to admit that he finally realized his feelings, to which she gladly replied that he needed to confess to Nagatoro. Few days later, hearing from Senpai that he planned to confess to Nagatoro only after becoming "worthy", Sunomiya pointed out that by then, feeling neglected, the girl could have fall for another guy; however seeing the boy frightened at the idea, she then decided to "Instructing him in the techniques of love" using romance manga due to her own lack of first-hand experience, eventually suggesting him to grab Nagatoro's hand in order to see if their feelings were mutual.

Nude modeling arc
The day after Senpai went to a class trial for Kainan Art Preparation School, she was in the art club with him painting still life when her older cousin stormed in (under Nagatoro's request) reassuring him regarding his art skills and offering to teach him a secret technique to overcome anxiety while drawing; the boy eagerly accepted, to which she revealed said method is to "repeatedly exposing to the shocks of overwhelming art" by doing nude sketching, thus stripping naked; shocking everyone else even Sunomiya. Then, as Nagatoro stormed in scolding her cousin for stripping and the latter explain that nudity is nothing to be ashamed about and nude painting is one of the pillar of arts she, alongside with Senpai, agreed with her, thus she watched as the disagreement between the two girls escalated until they decided to have a nude modeling challenge, later leaving the school alongside her cousin wishing both Senpai and Nagatoro good luck.

Trivia

 * Her first name was revealed in a bonus strip for Volume 11 set after Chapter 85 as, while they were going home, the President referred to her as Hana (ハナ), a common Japanese girl name that means "flower".
 * Sunomiya is the very first character whose name was fully revealed shortly after her introduction.
 * The surname Sunomiya is composed by the kanji for "ought, by all means, necessarily" (須) and "temple, shrine, palace" (宮), divided by the katakana syllable no (ノ), thus being literally translatable "tempe of necessarily".
