Nino Nakano

Nino Nakano (中野 二乃, Nakano Nino) is one of the tsundere characters in Gotoubun no Hanayome, along with her sister Itsuki Nakano. She is the second sister of the Nakano quintuplets and her love interest is Fuutarou Uesugi. She acts like a mother towards the quintuplets, cooking for them and taking care of the household chores. Among the five sisters, she has the highest hostility towards Fuutarou Uesugi and often rebelled against him early in the series, to the point of initially using dangerous and even illegal methods to kick him out of the house.

Appearance
Nino is a cute and cold-looking girl with waist-length or hip-length straight hair (but it is later cut to shoulder-length in Vol. 4 Ch. 46 and shown in Vol. 5 Ch. 47) that has square bangs hanging over her eyebrows. She has reddish-pink hair, ranging from light pink to telemagenta in Volume 1 and antique pink to red-violet in Volume 4.

Her notable accessories are twin butterfly-shaped ribbons on both sides of her head. She wears a long-sleeved sweater that covers her uniform and a pair of white thigh-high socks. Both her and Ichika Nakano use a handbag.

She is noted to be the most fashionable among the sisters, as she has various cute accessories and takes care of her nails. Her ears have yet to be pierced, but she plans to have them pierced at least before marriage.

Like her sisters, she is very beautiful, has a cute expressive face, dark blue eyes, an average height, a well-endowed figure, and large breasts.

Personality
Nino has an outgoing personality and is socially aware, resulting in her having many friends and is a social butterfly. She has a sharp tongue and talks bluntly when confronting others, even to her sisters. Her rebellious attitude makes her the least cooperative girl among the sisters, making her archetype resemble that of a "tsundere".

Despite the cold and rude front, Nino is caring and protective, like when she is touched by Fuutarou Uesugi's past; remarking that it is tearjerking. It is also evident by her willingness to act as the cook of the family, ignoring her care towards her own appearance (culinary activities may lead to foul odor, damaged nails, etc.). She is also shown to always have band-aids with her, possibly as a precaution to Yotsuba Nakano's active behavior.

Her interests seem to lie more on romance than anything else. An example is when she wanted to watch a romance movie, whilst Itsuki Nakano preferred a science documentary instead. With this is mind, she likes to openly state her feelings for Fuutarou, regardless of whether it's in front of him or her sisters.

According to Fuutarou, each Nakano Quintuplet has their own characteristics regarding their sheets, but in Nino's case, she will file her papers neatly.

Abilities
She can cook and her cooking is good among the sisters.
