Large, upturned eyes and a beautiful, doll-like face. She always wears a kimono, claiming she has never worn anything else. Though reluctant due to the time it takes to change, she wears a single-layer hitoe kimono to school. Colors and patterns vary by day. Because of her exceptionally well-defined features, people sometimes mistake her gender, though she doesn't seem to mind.

It is April 1995. A girl who has just enrolled in a private preparatory school. Due to her conspicuous kimono, striking beauty, and unapproachable aura, she was isolated immediately after enrollment. She seems to dislike people and makes no effort to interact with others. Extremely cautious and suspicious, she tends to push people away and rarely opens her heart.
