Character Description: Ryuuko Matoi
Ryuuko Matoi is the main protagonist in Kill la Kill. Her quest to find the twin blade of her Red Scissor Blade, that was used to kill her father, leads her to becoming a transfer student at Honnōji Academy.
Ryuuko is known for her tomboyish appearance, as well as her fierce determination and stubborn (not to mention really hot-tempered) personality. She shows no fear and acts like she's not afraid of anything, which is demonstrated by how easily she stands up to Satsuki Kiryūin and demands that her questions to be answered. Despite that, she is quite conscious about her body, and even shows embarrassment whenever she wears Senketsu's very revealing alternate forum, but however she overcame her embarrassment, thanks to Mako encouraging her to "not be afraid and just get naked".
