One of these characters are Nokotan (Noko Shikanoko), my personal favorite! She is an... Odd character, we could say the least. Some of her quirks are things like:
- Obsession with deer crackers
- Constant happiness (Although, she can show emotions like anger and sadness)
- Likes shortening names (Shortening Torako Koshi's name to "Koshitan" and her own name to "Nokotan")
- Afraid of water bottles, it's never explained
Nokotan's obsession with deer crackers borders on broderline insane. She goes to such great lengths to where in something like (For example) Season 1 Episode 2, Nokotan sees a deer cracker, but it's very obviously a trap. And of course, it was a trap

Another thing that should be known about Nokotan is that she's extremely naive and childlike. If you tell her something, there's a high chance she'll belive you. This makes sense context wise due to it being a comedy anime, and it really doesn't take itself seriously most of the time.

Even though it makes absolutely no sense that a deer/human hybrid that can basically bend the laws of physics and life to exist, most of the characters in the series don't mind.
