The School Bully is a girl from Minato's past life who used to torment her at school. Minato thinks of her when she feels uneasy with Latifa's strong personality, noting that Latifa's dominant manner reminds her of the bully. The bully's harassment is part of why Minato is socially anxious and habitually laughs nervously in tense situations. The exact incidents are not detailed, but the memory of being victimized at school contributes to Minato's low self‑esteem and her tendency to avoid conflict. She symbolizes the pattern of persecution that followed Minato from childhood, and her shadow is yet another reason Minato struggles to trust people, especially those who assert dominance over others.
