Kiyori Torioi

Kiyori Torioi (鳥追 きより, Torioi Kiyori) is a character in Whispered Words. She is friends with Ushio Kazama and Sumika Murasame.

Appearance
Kiyori has medium length hair reaching down to her neck at the back, which is trimmed relatively straight across. The fringe is styled to leave parts of her forehead visible where some parts come close to her slightly darker eyes.

Kiyori wears the school uniform consisting of a buttoned blue top over a white long sleeved shirt with a deep red bow tied around the collar. In addition she wears a pleated skirt reaching her thighs and long black socks up near her knees.

Personality
Kiyori is nice yet appears uneasy in certain situations such as in sincere attempts to be supportive, but having difficulty relaying it. For example hearing that Ushio Kazama liked cute girls, she nervously asked if she therefore liked her in a well meaning way to digest this news. Similarly when Sumika Murasame told Ushio that girls cannot fall in love with one another, Kiyori again appeared anxious with the topic but still supportively stated that Ushio was pretty, suggesting her getting a boyfriend would be easy.

Story
During the school break, Kiyori approaches Sumika Murasame and along with Ushio Kazama they head outside to eat.

Hearing that Ushio likes cute girls, Kiyori asks if she likes her.

As she eats with them on the grass again she appears concerned as Ushio walks away.

After school she is walking with other students before noticing Sumika by herself and approaches her. She resumes eating with her and Ushio who has rejoined the group.

Ushio Kazama
A friend of hers who she often eats with during the school break. Although she is well meaning, Kiyori is not fluid when Ushio discusses her interest in other girls, but perfectly comfortable discussing guys that Ushio could be with. She remains a supportive friend to her and cares about Ushio's wellbeing.

Sumika Murasame
Another girl and friend in her class.
