Nico Hirata

"Those tiny kids became magnificent men... The perks of being a teacher..."

- Nico Hirata

Nico Hirata (ニコ) is a teacher at a night school and a friend of Kabura Honda, Seri Kikiyou, Midori Kohakobe and Hatsuka Suzushiro.

Appearance
Nico is a relatively tall lady with a slim figure and red hair, which she partially ties in a bun and sometimes wears loose; both options end up making the left side of her face always covered by hair. Nico has yellow eyes. Her lips are occasionally more apparent than those of most other characters, and her ears feature an earring each.

Her outfit usually consists of a dark suit with a plain white shirt underneath and matching pants, although she dressed in a simple white top and a tight, short skirt on Halloween. Nico wears high heels and no socks. While she has fangs like any other vampire, her entire mouth is full of sharp teeth when she gets angry and volatile.

Personality
Nico is normally very level-headed and represents her whole clique; She is very invested in topics surrounding romance, fond of alcohol, despises lewd topics, puts a great deal on "dignity", and competes with the other girls (and Hatsuka) in a friendly manner, very prideful of her popularity.

Although she claims otherwise, Nico has a violent side that's shown when she becomes highly upset and angry. While she doesn't enjoy killing others and wants to avoid it, she is willing to do it if she has a reason to.

Overall, Nico is a very friendly and supportive person who wants the best for the people around her, actively supporting Kou and Nazuna on their journey, caring a lot about her students like Lira Echigo, and being very forgiving, shown when she harbored no grudge against Anko Uguisu, even though Anko killed and injured other vampires and shot Nico in the head before.

She revealed that she loves it when her male students fall in love with her. She rejects them when they are young but loves it when they return several years later as "magnificent men".
