Midori Gurin

Midori Gurin is one of the female students that currently attends Akademi High School.

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

Appearance
Midori wears the default school uniform unless customized by the player. She has pale skin and lime green hair and eyes, and in the future, she will gain emerald green hair and eyes. She has a bust size of 1.

Her first hairstyle was a little more than shoulder-length, as seen in her first and second portraits. Her second hairstyle was waist-length and green with bangs parted to the right.

Her hairstyle was later changed to one similar to Yandere-chan's hairstyle. With straight-cut bangs, her hair is longer and not tucked back into a ponytail. The reason for this is that 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 Update had her hair in the back go to her elbows. On her left and right side, she has some hair that goes to her elbow while some of it only go down to her chin. Her bangs are cut short and meet in the middle.

As of the February 8th 2016 Update, Midori has parted bangs with hair that ends at the waist.



Her appearance is based on Churuya, a chibi version of Tsuruya, a character from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Midori's panties were changed to green for the "Senpai Customization Update" because of a Twitter conversation. It was later changed back to white. The reason for this is because the Dev is still waiting for panty models that can be attached to a girl's body. Her stockings were green but were also changed to white, most likely for similar reasons. She was the first student to have different colored panties.

Personality
Among the personas currently implemented in the game, she is a Social Butterfly. She will happily pose for a picture if the player has their camera out. If she sees a corpse or witnesses a murder, she will stand in place and call the police. She cannot participate in physical fights against murderers.

She is known for irritating her classmates and teachers by constantly asking foolish questions, according to her Student Info. This is because she does this as a running gag in some of the videos YandereDev uploads, where she was created to personalize the typical person spamming YandereDev with annoying and useless emails, which explains her personality. According to YandereDev, Midori is very stupid. Her parents might be exactly the same as her, which may have influenced Midori's personality, in-game.

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 or green tea. On that note, when she eats M&M's, she only picks out the green ones as they taste better. She also loves nature.

Routine
Midori has no routine at the moment.

At 7:04 AM, she instantly spawns on the rooftop and stays there throughout the entire day in a similar fashion to how Rival-chan stands under the cherry blossom tree. Unlike Rival-chan, Yandere-chan can still interact with Midori like a normal student.

The player is able to make her move when they press G on the Debug Menu. She walks to the edge of the roof in the northwest corner where she is able to be pushed off. If not pushed off, she will stand in the spot for the rest of the day.

In the future, she will have a proper routine.

Purpose
Midori exists mainly for the purpose of being a murder victim. She can be killed by pushing her off the roof through the debug option. The player can also kill her on the rooftop to mop her blood up and dump it on Kokona Haruka.

Trivia

 * Her name, Midori (緑), means "green" in Japanese, referencing her green color scheme. Her last name is adapted from the katakana transcription of the English word "green", グリーン (gurīn). This means that her name is "Green Green" in English.
 * She is the third student with green hair, after Koharu Hinata and Hayato Haruki.
 * She is also the fourth student with green eyes, after Pippi Osu.
 * Despite never going to class, she has one according to the game's files.
 * She was originally supposed to be the student that had water or blood dumped on her by Yandere-chan, but this was later changed to Kokona Haruka.
 * If Midori were to be a rival, she would be a DLC and having omniscient (or, at least, Genre Savvy) knowledge of Yandere Simulator and the mechanics as the result of constantly asking YandereDev questions.
