Taiga Aisaka is a student of Ohashi High School in Japan. Due to her often snapping at others in brutal ways and her short stature, she is given the nickname "Palmtop Tiger". Even though Taiga is a teenager, her very short height makes her look like a younger child. Ami frequently teases her about this. Taiga has long, curly light brown hair that falls past her waist in waves, with large, dark amber eyes which are inherited from her father. She is "flat-chested", and a tsundere.
