羽々斬 直愛
from Kakegurui: Compulsive Gambler
Naoe is a very serious and stoic girl who also comes across as cold, especially against Midari Ikishima. Beneath her very serious demeanor, she does have a soft side. Naoe absolutely despises Midari and wants nothing more than for her to leave the Beautification Council. She cares a lot about the Council and takes her job very seriously, unlike her direct superior. She can't stand her personality and thinks Midari simply degrades herself to an animal, a behavior unacceptable for someone in her position. However, after seeing a different side of her, Naoe starts feeling a very different emotion she can't fully explain. Later she appears to be less cold toward Midari and gets closer to Ayame as well, seeing her as a friend. When Midari expresses her intention to work, Naoe is clearly happy. Although her feelings for her changed a little, she still feels nothing but disgust for her friends and firmly opposes Midari's idea to let them join the Beautification Council, even gambling against them for this reason. She shows to be confident and resolute.
Kakegurui: Compulsive Gambler
Unlike many schools, attending Hyakkaou Private Academy prepares students for their time in the real world. Since many of the students are the children of the richest people in the world, the academy has its quirks that separate it from all the others. By day, it is a normal school, educating its pupils in history, languages, and the like. But at night, it turns into a gambling den, educating them in the art of dealing with money and manipulating people. Money is power; those who come out on top in the games stand at the top of the school. Yumeko Jabami, a seemingly naive and beautiful transfer student, is ready to try her hand at Hyakkaou's special curriculum. Unlike the rest, she doesn't play to win, but for the thrill of the gamble, and her borderline insane way of gambling might just bring too many new cards to the table.
