Midori Gurin

'''Midori Gurin is one of the female students that currently attends Akademi High School. She also stars as the antagonist of Midori Forest.'''

Midori Gurin was the second student to be introduced as an Easter Egg after Pippi Osu.

Appearance
Midori wears the default female school uniform, unless customized by the player.

She has green hair and eyes. She has a bust size of 1.

Midori's first hairstyle was waist-length and green with bangs mostly parted to the right. Midori's panties were changed to green for the "Senpai Customization Update" because of a Twitter conversation. They were later changed back to white, because YandereDev was waiting for some panty models that can be attached to a girl's body. Her stockings were green but were also changed to white socks, most likely for similar reasons. She was the first student to have different colored panties. As of the August 15th, 2016 Build, she once again had green stockings and panties.

In the November 15th, 2015 Build, her hairstyle was later changed to one similar to Yandere-chan's hairstyle. With straight-cut bangs, her hair was longer and not tucked back into a ponytail. YandereDev thought the old hairstyle was ugly. He would like Midori's hairstyle to look a specific way, but there are no volunteers to work on this.

Her hairstyle as of the January 1st, 2016 Build had her hair in the back go to her elbows. On her left and right side, she had some hair that went to her elbow while some of it only went down to her chin. Her bangs were cut short and met in the middle.

As of the February 8th, 2016 Build, Midori has bangs parted in the middle with hair that ends right below her busts.

As of the October 15th, 2017 Build, Midori's stockings have been replaced with short green socks.

As of the August 18th, 2018 Build, she has a red band on her phone, because she is part of the gaming club.

Personality
Midori is a Phone Addict. She will happily pose for a picture if Yandere-chan aims her camera at her. If she sees a corpse or witnesses a murder, she will take a photo and text it to the police. She cannot participate in physical fights against murderers.

She is known for irritating her classmates and teachers by constantly asking foolish, stupid, and sometimes rhetorical questions. She also insists that she is a video game character who can see beyond the fourth wall of the game she is in, according to her Student Info. Her character is part of a running gag in some of the videos YandereDev uploads, where she was created to personify a person spamming YandereDev with useless emails, which explains her personality.

According to YandereDev, Midori is very stupid. Her parents might be exactly the same as her.

Although she is a joke character, Midori still has her own interests. Midori's favorite foods and drinks will be anything green, such as lettuce, green tea or spinach. On that note, when she eats M&M's, she only picks out the green ones because they taste better. She also loves nature.

Routine
Before the June 29th, 2016 Build, she would instantly spawn on the rooftop at 7:04 AM and stayed there throughout the entire day in a similar fashion to how Rival-chan stands under the cherry tree. Unlike Rival-chan, Yandere-chan can interact with Midori like a normal student. After the June 29th, 2016 Build, Midori would walk into school and stay on the rooftop all day. As of the October 1st, 2017 Build, Midori enters the school grounds at 7:03 AM. She walks to her locker at 7:05 AM and changes from her outdoor shoes to her indoor shoes. At 7:15 AM, she walks to the rooftop and falls off, landing on her feet. After she falls off, she walks back to the rooftop. At 8:00 AM, Midori walks into Classroom 1-2 and sits at her desk. She starts her morning classes at 8:30 AM, and leaves to go to the Rooftop at 1:00 PM.

Midori walks back to class again at 1:30 PM and participates in cleaning time between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM. Afterward, she heads to her locker and changes from her indoor shoes to her outdoor shoes.

In the July 24th, 2016 Build, she types on her cell phone whilst talking about the emails that she's sending.

As of the February 3rd, 2018 Build, she no longer mutters while texting.

As of the August 18th, 2018 Build, Midori now plays an augmented reality game with Mai Waifu, Ryuto Ippongo, and Pippi Osu.
