Misaki Iwata

' "No, I know I'm not the best on the team. Everyone else is incredible, and I'm just average. But I'm on the team, so that must mean something." '

Misaki Iwata (Japanese: 磐田海咲 Iwata Misaki) is an outside hitter for Jinsoku Hisho's female volleyball team.

Appearance
Misaki has dark brown, almost black hair with one thin streak of bright purple in it, and she keeps her hair in a low ponytail that reaches midway down her back. Her eyes are hazel-yellow and she has a tan complexion. She's pretty tall and has a strong build.

Her volleyball uniform looks the same as everyone else's, except for a few key details: her number 6, and a tiny cat face drawn on the back in silver sharpie, right in the middle of the number. She wears black kneepads and white shoes with an orange outsole.

Personality
Misaki often puts herself down in her mind for not being as skilled or as experienced as the rest of the players on the team. Although she never says it out loud, she's mentioned it before to Mina on accident, who reminds her that they're a year older than her and that she's good at what she does.

Misaki holds grudges, especially against Yuzuki. The only person on the team that Misaki doesn't talk to is Yuzuki, possibly because of how much Mina praises her and how highly she talks of the first-year.
