Chino Kafū (香風 智乃 Kafū Chino?) is one of the main protagonists of the Is the Order a Rabbit? manga series as well as its anime series.
Bio
Appearance
Chino has long pastel blue hair with horizontal bangs held by black crossing bands on each side of her head. She has relaxed blue eyes and is the the shortest character in the maincast.
Her work outfit is a blue variant of the Rabbit House Café's uniform: a long ankle-length black skirt, white blouse, waistcoat, and bow tie. Her school uniform is a royal blue sailor-style ensemble with a matching sailor hat.
Personality
Chino acts far more maturely than her age, and is normally the most responsible and organized member of the Rabbit House Café. She takes her work very seriously and gets annoyed when people act recklessly or loudly around her. Due to this, she resents being treated like a child; although there are times when she can appear childish mentally.
She has a reserved and emotionless disposition, rarely smiling even when happy, and she speaks in a flat monotone voice with polite vocabulary and grammar. She cares for her friends and feels comfortable around them.
