Megumi Tatara

Megumi Tatara is a student of Yomiyama North Middle School of 9 Grade Class 3 in 1998. She sits in front of Aki Matsui and beside Noboru Saruta in the classroom.

Appearance
She has long, straight brownish-black hair with bangs and light brown eyes. Megumi is always shown wearing the school standard female uniform.

Personality
Megumi seems to be a quiet, kind-hearted, and slightly sophisticated girl judging by her actions and appearance. She is also quite musical, as she plays the flute in the band, along with Makoto Ouji and Noboru Saruta.

Story
Megumi wasn't a fixture of class 3-3, often content to reside in the back, though she did have a small group of friends she socialized with from time to time, though she could just as often be seen silently studying in the background of class scenes as an obedient student. She was also in the class band.

Megumi was present in class for Kubodera-sensei's suicide, and was predictably terrified as a result, fleeing the room with her classmates. In "Sphere Joint", she appeared in Kouichi's nightmare along with Izumi and the rest of the class.

Megumi herself did not make an appearance after the July deaths or during the summer class trip, suggesting the Tatara's either pulled her from the class or successfully fled Yomiyama. As such, she's one of the few students whose status is not actually known, but it's unlikely she was claimed by the curse.
