Line 45:
** [[Subverted Trope]] by his [[Distaff Counterpart]] Habara who on the first look is as generic as he is... {{spoiler|but just check her [[Enfant Terrible|past]] and how that [[Reformed but Rejected|still affects her]].}}
* [[Living Prop|Maya Matsumoto]] from [[Working!!]]. She is seen many times throughout the series and is even in the opening. She isn't even shown talking or interacting with anyone besides customers. In the final episode of the first season, we find out this is [[I Just Want to Be Normal|exactly how she wants it]].
* [https://akiba-souken.com/article/59050/ An interview with the character designer] for ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam - the Witch from Mercury]]'' confirms this was an intentional design point with Nika Nanaura, as it allowed her to better serve as a foil to the extreme personalities (with character designs to match) that surround her. Accordingly she has normal hair (even the apparent two-tone nature is revealed to be merely exaggerated lighting in the 11th episode), and an entirely stock uniform when other named students add some kind of accessory. {{spoiler|Having been raised by and in regular contact with a terrorist group makes it so only her design is "normal"}}.
