After her mother's death, Kanade's father slipped into a depressive state, and Kanade saw how he began to view Kanade's own music as superior to his. He became sickly and eventually had to be hospitalized, leaving Kanade all on her own. She vowed to continue creating songs so that others out there could feel "saved" by her songs, creating the group N25 to accomplish that goal. Kanade is a well-meaning but quiet and tired girl.

She constantly puts on a fake smile and does whatever she is told to please others. When no one else is around, Mafuyu is cold, blunt, and scary. She isn't mean, she just has no sense of herself. Mafuyu began writing song lyrics, and was reached out to be a composer on the internet to join a music group. That same composer is determined to create a song that'll "save" Mafuyu.

Voice: Mafuyu has a medium-high pitched voice. When around anyone other than her fellow N25 members, Mafuyu is peppy, sweet, and quiet in a polite way.
