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

She has pale skin and emerald 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. The reason for this is because YandereDev 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. As of the August 15th, 2016 Build, she once again has 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. 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 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 at the waist.



Her appearance is based on Tsuruya, a character from the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Personality
Among the personas currently implemented in the game, she is a Social Butterfly. She will happily pose for a picture if the player aims their camera at her. 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 simply created to personify 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, 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. As of the June 29th, 2016 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 stays there until 6:00 PM. In the July 24th, 2016 Build, she types on her cellphone while talking about the emails that she's sending. In the future, she will have a proper routine.

Purpose
Midori exists mainly for the purpose of being a murder victim. 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.
 * Despite never going to class, she has one according to the game's files.
 * She is the only Easter Egg student not in Class 3-2.
 * 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 have omniscient (or, at least, Genre Savvy) knowledge of Yandere Simulator and the mechanics as the result of constantly asking YandereDev questions.
 * Midori was the chibi who shouted, "YandereDev, YandereDev!" during YandereDev's "E-Mails, Volunteers and Progress" video who asked very foolish and often repeated questions, almost a satire of what some of YandereDev's fans would say. This ended up turning into a running gag towards Midori Gurin, who has made several appearances in the videos since. She has been killed three times in his videos.
 * She was the second student that can be pushed off the roof, the first being Kokona Haruka.
 * Her voice actress, Mom0ki (Cait Myers), was not credited in the "I Want My Senpai Back" video's description. The description was later updated to include her.
 * Her voice actress also made a non-canon SoundCloud where she does short voice samples as Midori.
 * Despite her abilities in YandereDev's videos, she will never break the fourth wall.
 * Pressing M on the title screen of Yanvania: Senpai of the Night used to cause Midori to say her signature phrase and then the afterlogue, instead of Beldere-chan.
 * Midori is the only student, aside from the placeholder club leaders, who does not have a routine, but can be interacted with.
 * Midori will have no function in the final game.

 * On June 20th, 2016, YandereDev shared a song called "YANDEREDEV YANDEREDEV!!!" created by the voice actress for Midori on his blog. The song is about Midori's emails.
 * Before the June 1st, 2016 Build. If the player pressed the G key in the Debug Menu, Midori would walk to the edge of the roof where the player could push her off.
 * On August 15th, 2016 Build, the player can go to the Light Music Club and summon Midori, using debug commands.
