Mizuki Senoo

Mizuki Senoo (瀬尾 瑞希, Senoo Mizuki) is a character in Kiss and a White Lily.

Character Description
A short-distance runner on the track team. Because of her boyish looks and the fact that she is the team's fastest runner (although not as fast as Kurosawa), there are quite a few students who look up to her. However, because of her naturally timid personality, she dislikes the inflated image people have of her. She is Shiramine Ayaka's cousin and childhood friend, and is an older sister figure to Shiramine.

Moe Nikaido
Mizuki and Moe have been friends since their middle school days and are notably close. They are often seen together and even get called the 'Prince and Princess of the track team' by Ai Uehara in Chapter 3.

Moe has been Mizuki's reason to keep running since they made a promise in middle school, where Moe also agreed to stay by Mizuki's side and watch her more than anyone. Mizuki is often seen saying that she does everything for Moe. However, Mizuki has been shown to easily get jealous of other girls Moe interacts with because of this. This happens to a point where Moe suggests they stay away from each other for a while before a championship, which Mizuki responds to by saying she doesn't know what else can motivate her if it isn't Moe.

Mizuki finds Moe beautiful, but because of this is insecure in herself and worries that she might appear 'too bland' next to her. She also worries that Moe herself may find her not good enough.
