Something bothers me about Kiwi. Her pink hair, her experience with computer technology, the fact she’s a Vtuber, all of those thing fit together no problem. But then Yoru praises her for being the Student Council President. ... Huh?

That doesn’t align one bit. Even in fictional Japanese anime schools they still have a strict dress code. This is highlighted in episode 2 when Mei is reprimanded simply for wearing Kano’s jacket over her uniform. There is no fucking shot the girl that dyed her hair pink was approved for the position.

Right now we have no actual proof that she is. Just her word to her childhood friend Yoru who trusts her based on all their years together. Thus far the only time we've seen her outside her room was in a several year old photograph back when she had black hair.

With the exception of Yoru, there’s the common pattern of characters changing their hair color after some sort of key event in their lives. My guess is that Kiwi channeled/expressed what would eventually become her Nox persona (before it existed in Vtuber form), though in this case it’s her genuine self, in front of her classmates and was ridiculed for it.

We’ve seen Yoru at school on a few occasions. Same with Kim. We’re outright told Kano doesn’t attend. Kiwi? If she attended Yoru’s school you’d think we’d have seen them hanging out between classes. It would be nearly impossible to maintain the lie of her being SCP if that were the case.

So it would stand to reason she goes to a different school. That combined with the years of trust built between childhood friends would make any lie involving her school life or lack thereof a breeze to maintain. Either way she's almost certainly lying to Yoru. A current day scene of her at least attending school would go a long way to assuage my suspicions.

That and for her to fit into this group of people struggling with their self expression, their identity in terms of who they are vs what society expects of them, she can’t possibly be the Student Council President. Happy, well adjusted, self actualized people that don't hate themselves or regret something about their pasts do not belong in JELLE. So she'll fit right in.
