Arashi Narukami/Profile

A friendly and cheerful big sister, Arashi is attentive to tiny details, but also operates on the principle "everything in moderation."

Arashi had been working as a model since before entering the academy, and so deeply respects Akiomi Kunugi, an ex-model senior. Loves hardworking boys. Arashi makes an effort to participate in club activities and take the lead for the club members, such as the natural airhead Adonis Otogari and the innocent Mitsuru Tenma.

Member of the unit Knights. Arashi is familiar with Izumi Sena as they are both fellow models and, being aware of Izumi’s volatile temperament, Arashi often tries to be the one to stop his actions.

Trivia

 * Arashi's first name (嵐) means “storm." The two characters in Arashi’s surname mean “to roar, rumble” (鳴) and “up, above” (上), respectively. Furthermore, Arashi's last name is homophonous with the word 鳴神, which means “thunder.”
 * Arashi uses the first-person pronoun Atashi (アタシ), which is often used by women.
 * Arashi loves to be referred as Onee-chan (“big sister”), and often uses that title when speaking to people as well as expresses a desire to be referred to as that.
 * When someone calls Arashi by an insulting name, Arashi asks to be referred to as “Arashi-chan,” “Naru-chan,” or “Naruko-chan” instead.
 * Arashi enjoys collecting point cards and receiving the prizes while shopping.
 * Arashi’s cat is named Nyanko (a cutesy way of saying “cat,” like “kitty”).
 * Though Arashi is fond of the Knights uniform, Arashi finds it rather boring due to its lack of color.
 * Though Arashi often pretends to be weak, Arashi is extremely physically strong.
 * Because it is implied Arashi was mistreated and hurt by peers in the past, Arashi is extremely passionate about self-love and positive self-esteem, to the point of appearing narcissistic to others. Arashi frequently proclaims, “Above anyone else, I love myself.”
 * On the matter of self-love, Arashi has said: “No matter how much I want it, and no matter how hard I try... I could never become the beautiful woman I dream to be. But even if that’s true... I won’t let it depress me. I won’t whine about it anymore. I love myself most, no matter who I am.”
 * Arashi is extremely protective of friends, to the point of wishing to inflict physical injury on those who harm said friends.
 * On helping friends, Arashi has said: “What sort of nasty, awful girl would just ditch their beloved friend when they’re in a pinch? Not me.”

Spoilers :
 * Izumi reveals that, before Arashi entered Yumenosaki, Arashi had a “terrible” personality: Arashi refused to speak politely to seniors, and would always respond sarcastically even when scolded.
 * Arashi has a crush on Akiomi, and, during the previous year, Arashi had dyed-brown hair and glasses to match him.
 * During the previous year, Arashi did not participate in idol activities very much, like most students that year.
 * During the previous year, there was someone who called Arashi “the most beautiful person in the world” and declared their love to Arashi. However, this person committed suicide during winter after their dreams were broken, likely during the events of the War. Because of this, Arashi always tries to be there for others who may be struggling.
 * On this matter, Arashi has said: “There was no one there to stick by that person... So at least, I don’t want to repeat the same mistake over again. I’ll be by the side of everyone in Knights.”
 * At the beginning of the school year, Arashi desired to be the kind of “Arashi” the world wants to see, no matter what that may be. However, by the end of the school year, Arashi expresses bitterness and discomfort when not seen as the kind of person Arashi really is deep down.
 * A number of characters refer to Arashi by feminine terms. For example, Mitsuru refers to Arashi as “onee-chan,” Madara refers to Arashi as his “daughter,” (娘) and, by the end of Beasts, Tetora refers to Arashi as a “charming woman” (魅力的な女のひと).
 * In SS - Effort 3, when Izumi is asked if he would categorize Arashi as a girl, he says: “ If I had to categorize. But that one’s more like, ‘Gender: Narukami Arashi.’ And they’re best treated that way. Naru-kun will look at you weird when you treat them too much like a girl.”
