* [[Bokukko]]

* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: {{spoiler|During the winter season of the final year, if you are sure of winning her, skimping out on dates with her until confesssion day arrives will result in her growing her hair longer (maybe because she misses you).}}

⚫

* [[The Klutz]]: Despite her athleticism, she's quite clumsy, and can be a walking disaster area on certain dates (watch out during dates at the Museum and the Bowling Alley).

* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]

* [[Innocent Flower Girl]]: What she'd like to be.

* [[Indirect Kiss]]: If the protagonist meets her for the first time as she does her daily 50 kilometers run, she’ll offer him some of her juice. As she’ll leave her, the protagonist will realize and gleefully mention to himself he had an indirect kiss this way.

* [[Odd Friendship]]: She’s good friends with Ayako, who’s renowned for [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|her fear of water]]; this is often played with in the Classic Kirameki canon, and Nozomi often gives a reluctant Ayako swimming lessons, so she can overcome this fear.

* [[Shrinking Violet]]: When she's in "enraptured" state, she becomes very shy when she bumps into you after school (she'll stutter, then run away; not to be mistaken for a "bomb" warning, where she's angry and scolding you before running away).

Line 318:

----

* [[Attention Whore]]

* [[Biting the Handkerchief]]: She does this when defeated in ''Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Puzzle Dama''.

* {{spoiler|[[Broken Bird]]}}

* [[Buxom Is Better]]: She’s the bustiest character in the entire series, starting the game with 90 cm (at 15!) and ending it, three years later, with 93 cm. This, and her looks, help her gain her massive fanclub as well as her reputation in the school for being the most attractive girl along with Shiori, {{spoiler|further her [[Revenge of the Nerd]] plan, and become a model after graduation}}.

* [[Crash Into Hello]]: On your first encounter with her.

* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: Mira is [[Gratuitous English]] for “Mirror”, and Kagami means “mirror” in Japanese.

* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: A classic example.

* [[Parental Substitute]]: {{spoiler|This allows to show her gentler side, as she’s very caring of her brothers, and they love her back; [http://www.futaba.ne.jp/~kuramoto/4koma61-80/4koma79.html a Japanese Tokimemo fansite even made a Crowning Moment Of Heartwarming 4koma around this.]}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Revenge of the Nerd]]: A little subversion, otherwise she fits this trope to a T: she’s not implied of being a nerd in her Junior High days, but she apparently wasn’t attractive enough for the boys who dumped her.}}

⚫

* [[You Must Be Cold]]: {{spoiler|On Christmas Party, she comes without a party coat because she doesn't have enough money for one; after the party, if she’s in Tokimeki State with the protagonist, they’ll go back to home together and she’ll sneeze, prompting the protagonist to give her his coat. She pushes the trope to [[Comforting Comforter]] zone by taking his arm put herself close to him, [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|so she can give him some warmness in return. And on top of that, she’ll give her his coat back a few days later... with all its little tears sewn off]]}}.

* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]

* [[Kuudere]]: She eventually turns into this when she becomes fond enough of the protagonist.

⚫

Line 397:

Line 391:

----

* [[Character Development]]: Probably one of the characters benefitting of this the most in the Classic Kirameki Saga. She goes from a loud, possessive and somewhat agressive brat in ''Nijiiro no Seishun'', to a friendly, posed and mature girl (but still a [[Motor Mouth]]) ready to listen and help the others, which both Saki and the protagonist feel the Soccer Club will be in good hands with her at its lead after they'll graduate, by the end of ''Tabidachi no Uta''.

Line 403:

Line 396:

* {{spoiler|[[Hot for Student]]: Averted, see the [[Second Love]] entry above.}}

* [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...]]: {{spoiler|She pulls this line to the protagonist as part of her [[Graceful Loser]] tirade in ''Nijiiro no Seishun'' ‘s Best Ending}}.

* [[Motor Mouth]]

* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: In ''Nijiiro no Seishun'' canon, when talking about the Main Protagonist, she calls him "''Juu-roku ban no Senpai''" (= N°16-senpai), referring to his shirt's number in the Soccer Club. Serves as [[Playing with a Trope|a clever way of going around]] the [[Hello, Insert Name Here]] problem, as well as an indicator of her relationship towards the protagonist: the nickname has a derogative connotation at first, then after she came to like him, it becomes an affectionate nickname.

* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Unrequited. Saki thinks of Minori only as a nice [[Sempai-Kohai|kohai]].

* {{spoiler|[[Second Love]]: It doesn’t seem like it at first glance, but Saki really is her second love. She reveals during her discussions with the protagonist, that her first love was one of his teachers in Junior High, but he only thought of her as a cute student, and married one of her other teachers.}}

Line 454:

Line 444:

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: He gives such a speech (minus any physical violence) to the protagonist {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD|when said protagonist lost all his will at training during the club session just after the misunderstanding between him and Saki, and was idling]]. Subverted in that doesn't work, and the coach, who doesn't want to waste time on him, then tells the protagonist to quit the club if he really thinks he's no good at soccer. As mentioned above though, it gets better}}.

* [[Stern Teacher]]

Line 466:

Line 455:

----

* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Reaching 91 cm in 3rd year, she has the 3rd biggest cup size in the entire series, ex aequo with ''Tokimeki Memorial 3'''s Mari Oda. For Japanese players, this makes part of her appeal, [[Foreign Fanservice|see below]].

* [[Eagle Land]]: Her nationality is never displayed, but she’s clearly American-based.

⚫

* [[The Faceless]]: Unlike her mother and brother, her father's face is not seen in the CG displaying her family, being so tall and huge his face is out of the frame.
