Toriko Nishina

Toriko Nishina (仁科鳥子) is one of the main protagonists in Otherside Picnic. She met Sorawo Kamikoshi on the Otherside while searching for her missing friend, Satsuki.

Appearance
Toriko is taller than Sorawo and has long gold-colored hair and sparkling indigo eyes. She always dresses up with fashionable clothes in which Sorawo often thinks to go along with her beauty. When going to the Otherside, she would opt to wear jacket, jeans and a laced-up boots. After their second encounter with the Kunekune, Toriko's left hand had turned translucent. She wears gloves in order to hide them from prying eyes.

Personality
Although appeared mysterious at first, Toriko is known as upbeat and energetic most of the time, especially when around Sorawo and Kozakura (to the point Kozakura finds her annoying). She was friendly upon meeting Sorawo, and dropped honorifics immediately after introducing herself to her. She'd been comfortable with Sorawo ever since, certain that they would get along well. She is carefree, not holding herself back when she and Sorawo explores the Otherside or when they celebrate post-expedition. She prefers addressing with no honorific to people she thinks she's friends or close with. She is also reliable and would often be the one to act or think fast during situations to aid Sorawo when needed.

Toriko is outgoing and is high-spirited with people she knows or friends with. Kozakura describes her as that kind of person who have no sense of proper distance between people, and would often get too close to others too fast.

However, Toriko is actually shy introverted person who used to not have friends when she came to japan and chose to stay at home alone. She had been alone until she met Satsuki, who later disappeared. Toriko cares about Satsuki so much that she refuses to believe Satsuki might be already dead. Her stubborness to accept the possiblity even caused her and Sorawo to have a fall-out during File 4: Time, Space, and a Middle-aged Man.

Background
Toriko was born and raised in Canada by her two mothers who she refer to as Mom and Mama. Her Mama was a soldier, and a member of a special operations force called JTF2. At a young age, she was taught all sorts of things, including survival skills and using a gun which shaped her character. Altough unknown when it happened, Toriko's parents died in an airplane crash. Toriko moved to Japan and got into university by taking a high school equivalency exam. Studying in Japan, Toriko was never good at making friends and stayed cooped up at home until she met Satsuki. She became Toriko's tutor and later on became her friend. They got to know each other and Satsuki introduced her to the Otherside. After Satsuki's disappearance, Toriko began her search for Satsuki and eventually met Sorawo on the Otherside.
