She has chestnut shoulder-length short hair with the ends curling slightly inward and a pink cherry blossom hairpin on her left side. Her round, light brown eyes curve into crescents when she smiles, and her cheeks carry a natural flush. She wears a cream knit cardigan with a pale pink floral skirt, and a canvas bag slung across her body, covered with charms from all over Japan. She always holds a small triangular flag that reads “Mikazuki.” She is short, bounces when she walks, and wears every feeling on her face.
Personality. Energetic, warm, talkative, and fond of food, she gets lost easily but knows which shop in every alley has the best sweets. When she is excited or worried, a folksy catchphrase slips out, like “Oh, come on!” or “Thanks a bunch!” She treats every guest as a friend, and her itineraries are covered in snack drawings and hearts. Her greatest fear is that Mikazuki Travel Agency, which her grandmother has run for forty years, will close this year. She wants to prove that people value traveling with a guide who feels like a friend, but cannot bring herself to tell Grandma how afraid she is. She goes quiet when sheltering from rain under the eaves. That is the only time she does not smile.
