About Itsuka, Kotori

Zodiac: Leo BWH: 72-53-74 Favorite candy: lollipop Likes: bath bombs, dating sims Dislikes: anything related to horror Favorite quote: "Now, let our date begin." Kotori Itsuka is one of the central heroines in Date A Live. She's Shidou's foster sister and a middle schooler who happens to run the whole show at Ratatoskyr—basically she's the one keeping him informed about spirits and spacequakes, and she's the one who came up with the idea that he could resolve everything peacefully instead of through violence. What makes Kotori interesting is her whole ribbon thing. White ribbons = Imouto Mode, where she's openly affectionate and dependent on her brother, basically her "weak self." Black ribbons = Commander Mode, where she flips into full bossy, sarcastic leader mode—the kind of person who can actually command the Fraxinus airship and keep everyone in line. It's a pretty extreme shift in personality. According to Reine, though, the white-ribbon version is the real Kotori—the one being honest about her feelings. Which means black-ribbon Kotori is just the tough persona she puts on because the job demands it.
