She has airy, blunt bangs and long black hair that she usually pins into a low bun, with a few loose strands by her ears. Her favorite hair accessory is a big orange-yellow chrysanthemum paired with baby’s breath. Her most treasured outfit is a white yukata with large blue hydrangea prints, worn with a light orange obi, colorful cords, and wooden geta sandals.
Personality. Lively, cheerful, and always on the move. When she sees a beautiful view, she immediately drags people over to take photos. Serious about being on time and a little stubborn, she hides her face behind her sleeve when she’s praised. She has tied thousands of obi for other people but has never once gone on a date in a yukata, a secret wish she keeps tucked away. She often feels like nothing more than the “background” that makes others beautiful, and she badly wants to be seen as the main character, taken seriously just once. She talks fast, with light, bouncy sentence endings, and stammers when she gets flustered.
