  | background  = Uta is the second child of unnamed parents and was, presumably, born and raised in Nara. While growing up, she was a tomboy who spend a lot of time outside and did a lot of things with her older brother.  
  | background  = Uta is the second child of unnamed parents, and the younger sister of an unnamed brother. She was, presumably, born and raised in Nara, having spent most of her life there before moving to [[Locations|Kumon-mi]] a couple years before the events of the game.


At some point, due to her impulsiveness and naivety, she shared too much of herself online and, as a result, her posts caused issues she couldn’t predict at the time. This escalated to the point where someone stalked her. Her stalker never did anything to her, but since he was still a possible threat, her brother beat him up so badly that he wasn’t moving afterwards, which is the reason he was sent to jail.  
Growing up, Uta was a major tomboy, enjoying playing games with her older brother and his friends, such as hockey, and even having much shorter hair. This boyishness was so pervasive that even her best friend, Io Ichimonji, initially mistook Uta for a boy.
At some point in time, due to her naivety and general impulsiveness, she shared too much of herself online, leading to continuously harassment from various unknown people. This harassment was apparently so severe that she was stalked, leading to her older brother intervening and receiving jail time due to how seriously he beat them up. Unable to solve the problem, even after numerous attempts, they used the deteriorating health of Uta's grandfather as an easy excuse to send her to Kumon-mi, hopeful that the change of location would both give her a new start and throw-off potential harassers.  


Since her parents were unable to solve the problem, they used the deteriorating health of Uta’s grandfather to send her to Kumon-mi, hoping that she could escape her mistakes there, but fragments of her past always manage to come back to her, letting her know that there is no escape. Despite that, she stayed in Kumon-mi to take care of her grandfather and even remained there after his passing to be with her friend [[Io]]. She also got a job at the maid cafe during her time there.
Upon moving to Kumon-mi, Uta met up with her, previously online, friend Io and began to attend [[Locations#Kumon-Mi_Academy|Kumon-Mi Academy]]. She did so until the school collapsed into a sudden sinkhole during the events of [[Fireworks, Chicken, and the Innate Fear of Death]]. Like all the other students, she was given a choice of transfer or online school, opting for the former. Unlike the rest of the additions during Chapter 2, however, Uta was the only girl directly placed in Sensei's class by Kumon-mi High staff, due to Sensei's low reputation and Uta's similarly low grades.  


She attended Kumon-mi Academy until it collapsed in [[Fireworks, Chicken, and the Innate Fear of Death]]. Like all the other students, she was transferred to Kumon-mi High and, due to his bad reputation, was the only girl who was directly assigned to Sensei’s class during the migration process. During her first visit at Kumon-mi High in [[A Door that People Move Through]], Sensei didn’t realize that it was the same girl he met twice at the maid cafe before until he saw her again.
| characteristics = Uta is outgoing and cheery, easily socializing with anyone she meets due to her seemingly constant optimism and confidence. She often presents herself as a charismatic flirt, easily countering any attempts by Sensei to catch her off-guard or fluster her while also deflecting any compliments. This smooth-talking charm of hers has earned her the rank as second-best maid at the maid cafe where she works, though a large percentage of her incomes comes from Sensei's continued patronage. Most of these socially adept traits are part of what Uta dubs her "Uta-chan" persona, a perfect girl who always prioritizes her friends over herself.  


| characteristics =
The other half to Uta, however, is a lot more somber. After "ruining" her previous life, Uta has taken a concentrated effort to repress and circumnavigate the impulsive parts of her personality. While initially these more insecure parts of her only slip out in brief moments, the cracks in her facade become more apparent as time goes on. Around certain topics or people, Uta very quickly flusters, often blushing brightly and being reduced to stuttered sentences as she attempts to collect herself. Her aforementioned impulsiveness also leaks out, often taking action before thinking, sometimes to her [[Impulse|mortification]].  
Uta is an outgoing and cheery girl. She has no problem socializing with every person she meets and is very confident in how she presents herself. She’s also a massive flirt and tease who can easily wrap people, mostly Sensei, around her finger with her cute personality, looks and words while effortlessly deflecting any kind of compliment she receives. All of these qualities make her the second most popular maid at the cafe.


Most of her usual personality traits are part of Uta-chan. She also has another side, which she sees as Uta Ushibori, her original personality she wishes to replace with her perfect one. This mostly stems from her past mistakes which she did out of impulsiveness, a primary trait of her other self that bleeds through from time to time. She also lives in constant fear of her past coming back or being revealed.
This side of her is also exceedingly self-deprecating, referring to herself as "one big mistake" whose misfortune seems to seep out and ruin the lives of other people. She constantly feels as if she's being seen by other as "[[Enjo Kousai|easy]]", a shame she conceals but breaks out in her [[Whore|lowest moments]]. This shame leads her to concealing the truth behind her past, refusing to share the details with anyone but those she deems closest.  
 
While Uta is very confident during her interactions, especially when she adapts her maid persona, she still gets easily flustered if certain topics or events come up. She also loses most of her usual behavior when she’s embarrassed and becomes bashful instead, though this side mostly comes up during certain interactions with Sensei, like in [[The Reliable and Totally Legitimate Princess Imani]] and [[Creatures of Habit]].

During their first meeting, Uta saw Sensei as just another customer of the cafe, being nice and flirtatious to make him spend money. Once she was part of her class, she quickly develops a friendly relationship with him, though that doesn’t prevent her from draining his savings during his visits at the cafe or relentlessly teasing him and deflecting his advances. She also likes him enough to invite him in her dorm room while she wears her pajama and even lets him sit on her bed.
Uta initially views Sensei as just another customer at the maid cafe, quickly putting the charms on him in order to make him spend large amounts of money. Upon joining the class though she quickly develops a friendly relationship with him, still taking opportunities to extort him while playfully teasing him. She warms up to him extremely quickly, feeling comfortable enough after a few days to ask him for favors and inviting him into Io and her's dorm room.  


Despite deflecting him all the time and claiming that she has no real romantic interest in him, there are signs that she has some romantic feelings for him. She blushes noticeably during multiple events, is legitimately embarrassed during a few of their interactions, was sad [[Food Groups| when he left with Maki]], [[We Were Angels| was confirmed to be Niki’s ex]] and even [[Dodging Snowflakes| when Io hugged him]], [[Veins and the Circulatory System| almost kissed him after her infamous fall]], [[Impulse| passionately hugged him during her club activity]] and [[Tip Your Bartender| was devastated if she lost her contest]].  
She's initially an expert at deflecting Sensei's own teasing, but a few stray bits of banter [[Facetime With My Mom (Tonight)|manage to slip past]] her defenses. While these only initially showed the occasional blush or prompted a brief moment of awkward silence, the signs of her deeper affection for him pile on more and more. She is noticeably upset on multiple occasions when the other members of the cast either [[Food Groups|steal him away]] or [[We Were Angels|reveal]] their closeness to him, impulsively hugs him during a visit to the [[Locations#Archery_Range|archery range]], and is potentially devastated he didn't choose her as the winner of the class' [[Tip Your Bartender|second costume contest]].


Due to her deflection skills and usual flirtatious behavior, no one noticed that she might have feelings for Sensei. He himslef isn’t sure if [[Where Wishes Come True| she actually likes him and tries to hide it or is just acting on hormones]]. The only one who has an idea how she feels is [[Touka]], though that is only the case if Uta lost in [[Tip Your Bartender]].
She finally told Sensei how important he is to her in [[The Girl From Nara]], though she's still scared of him leaving her due to her past and, therefore, isn't ready to get too close to him yet.

Uta Ushibori is part of the Main Cast of in Lessons In Love. Uta was the 13th girl to join Sensei's class, doing so in v.0.12.0p2. She lives in Room 7 with Io Ichimonji.

Background

Uta is the second child of unnamed parents, and the younger sister of an unnamed brother. She was, presumably, born and raised in Nara, having spent most of her life there before moving to Kumon-mi a couple years before the events of the game.

Growing up, Uta was a major tomboy, enjoying playing games with her older brother and his friends, such as hockey, and even having much shorter hair. This boyishness was so pervasive that even her best friend, Io Ichimonji, initially mistook Uta for a boy.

At some point in time, due to her naivety and general impulsiveness, she shared too much of herself online, leading to continuously harassment from various unknown people. This harassment was apparently so severe that she was stalked, leading to her older brother intervening and receiving jail time due to how seriously he beat them up. Unable to solve the problem, even after numerous attempts, they used the deteriorating health of Uta's grandfather as an easy excuse to send her to Kumon-mi, hopeful that the change of location would both give her a new start and throw-off potential harassers.

Upon moving to Kumon-mi, Uta met up with her, previously online, friend Io and began to attend Kumon-Mi Academy. She did so until the school collapsed into a sudden sinkhole during the events of Fireworks, Chicken, and the Innate Fear of Death. Like all the other students, she was given a choice of transfer or online school, opting for the former. Unlike the rest of the additions during Chapter 2, however, Uta was the only girl directly placed in Sensei's class by Kumon-mi High staff, due to Sensei's low reputation and Uta's similarly low grades.

Characteristics

Uta is outgoing and cheery, easily socializing with anyone she meets due to her seemingly constant optimism and confidence. She often presents herself as a charismatic flirt, easily countering any attempts by Sensei to catch her off-guard or fluster her while also deflecting any compliments. This smooth-talking charm of hers has earned her the rank as second-best maid at the maid cafe where she works, though a large percentage of her incomes comes from Sensei's continued patronage. Most of these socially adept traits are part of what Uta dubs her "Uta-chan" persona, a perfect girl who always prioritizes her friends over herself.

The other half to Uta, however, is a lot more somber. After "ruining" her previous life, Uta has taken a concentrated effort to repress and circumnavigate the impulsive parts of her personality. While initially these more insecure parts of her only slip out in brief moments, the cracks in her facade become more apparent as time goes on. Around certain topics or people, Uta very quickly flusters, often blushing brightly and being reduced to stuttered sentences as she attempts to collect herself. Her aforementioned impulsiveness also leaks out, often taking action before thinking, sometimes to her mortification.

This side of her is also exceedingly self-deprecating, referring to herself as "one big mistake" whose misfortune seems to seep out and ruin the lives of other people. She constantly feels as if she's being seen by other as "easy", a shame she conceals but breaks out in her lowest moments. This shame leads her to concealing the truth behind her past, refusing to share the details with anyone but those she deems closest.

Relationships

Sensei

Uta initially views Sensei as just another customer at the maid cafe, quickly putting the charms on him in order to make him spend large amounts of money. Upon joining the class though she quickly develops a friendly relationship with him, still taking opportunities to extort him while playfully teasing him. She warms up to him extremely quickly, feeling comfortable enough after a few days to ask him for favors and inviting him into Io and her's dorm room.

She's initially an expert at deflecting Sensei's own teasing, but a few stray bits of banter manage to slip past her defenses. While these only initially showed the occasional blush or prompted a brief moment of awkward silence, the signs of her deeper affection for him pile on more and more. She is noticeably upset on multiple occasions when the other members of the cast either steal him away or reveal their closeness to him, impulsively hugs him during a visit to the archery range, and is potentially devastated he didn't choose her as the winner of the class' second costume contest.

She finally told Sensei how important he is to her in The Girl From Nara, though she's still scared of him leaving her due to her past and, therefore, isn't ready to get too close to him yet.

Their relationship is seemingly tense after Uta and Io attempt to kidnap Sensei during the events of Rhythm of a Black Heart, with Ami passive-aggressively threatening the two.

Io

Io is Uta’s closest friend. They met in an internet forum and became friends in real life once she moved to Kumon-mi. After her grandfather passed away, Io was one of her reasons to stay. She tries her best to integrate Io into the class, but, due to her personality, those attempts mostly end in failure. She also knows that Io has a crush on Sensei and helps her whenever she has doubts or problems with how their relationship develops.

Osako

Osako is Uta's co-worker at the maid cafe, with Uta being her "superior" due to being among the best maids employed there. While Uta often annoys Osako, especially whenever Sensei is around, the two appear to be good colleagues.

Uta regularly teases Osako, particularly about her relationship with Wakana.
