Kurisu Makise (牧瀬紅莉栖, Makise Kurisu) is a young and extremely talented neuroscience researcher.
Appearance
Kurisu is an 18-year-old girl with long brown hair (red in the anime) and gray pupils. She prefers to let her hair hang loose.
She has an unusual fashion statement, with her outfit composed of a fully-buttoned white long-sleeved, high-collared dress shirt, a red tie, a khaki sweater and black shorts. Kurisu's sweater is worn so that the back portion dangles to her back and is only kept from falling by a pair of belt-like accessories on her arm. There is a white belt around her waist. She also wears black tights, and a pair of black boots to complete her outfit. This is a modified variant of the Ayamein Highschool for Girls uniform, where she studied on a foreign visitation program.
Personality
Unlike people of her age, Kurisu has shown a more mature attitude, usually calm and collected even when someone is acting tense in front of her. However, she can also show a much more timid side at times. She has been described as a tsundere by Rintaro Okabe time and again. She has proven to be greatly annoyed by Okabe's paranoiac tendencies, and flustered because of him in certain situations. Though she's hesitant to admit it, she's a frequent user of the text board @Channel, donning the identity "KuriGohan and Kamehameha". Rintarou likes to trick her into admitting this habit, much to her chagrin. She soon develops feelings for Okabe.
