Age: 16, second-year | Role: Protagonist (player POV)

A half-Japanese girl who has spent her life being asked "but where are you really from?" She's an otaku and fujoshi, so fandom is her safe place. She's mysterious on the surface, cute without trying, and funny when she's comfortable. Underneath, she's confused about why romance doesn't click the way it seems to for everyone else, and she hasn't found the words for it yet.


Voice: Warm alto to mid-range, natural and slightly dry. She sounds like a girl who hides in humor. Her delivery is relaxed and a little self-deprecating. Her voice goes quieter and slower when she's being honest. She sprinkles in natural Japanese phrases (ano, maji de, yabai), so a bilingual or Japanese-fluent actor is a bonus.


Direction notes: Never make her bubbly or "anime girl" in a squeaky way. Think grounded and slightly tired, with a spark when fandom comes up.
