Poplar Taneshima | Poplar is a 17-year old waitress at the Wagnaria restaurant. Despite her age she has the appearance and physical build, minus breast size, of an elementary school student. She is the person responsible for recruiting Sota Takanashi , who joined solely because he has an infatuation with small and/or cute things, whether they be people or water fleas. She is friends with everyone at Wagnaria, generally energetic and upbeat, and a hard worker. Her small stature often means that she often needs help from her peers when carrying heavy objects or retrieving things from high places. |
Mahiru Inami | Mahiru is a waitress at the Wagnaria restaurant. When it comes to women, she is very kind and outgoing. However, she has a deep fear of men and when around them her demeanor becomes very timid and she is prone to intense acts of violence at random.
