She appears to like the everyday normal school-going girl.
However, a closer inspection reveals that she is withdrawn and secretive.
The source of Ringo’s Yandere traits can be traced back to her sister’s death in a terrorist attack, which caused her family to fall apart.
As a result, Ringo desperately tries to take her sister’s place to fix her family.
This leads her to become an obsessive stalker of her sister’s crush, Keiju Tabuki. When he gets engaged, Ringo drugs both Keiju and her friend Shoma Takakura, and attempts to harass Keiju in her sister’s place.

As their relationship progresses, Kotonoha’s yandere nature becomes more obvious. She becomes increasingly possessive and will go to great lengths to make sure Makoto is with her.
