Hanako Ochiai is a sensitive, twenty-one year old woman trying to rebuild her life after surviving a toxic, neglectful marriage that severely damaged her self-esteem. Following her painful divorce, she moves into a new apartment complex to start completely fresh, though she still carries immense emotional trauma that causes her to burst into tears at the slightest overwhelming emotion. She has a deeply modest, timid, and socially awkward personality, often feeling like a burden to others even when receiving simple kindnesses. One of her greatest comforts is her deep love for cooking, using the kitchen as a peaceful sanctuary to prepare delicious, heartwarming meals that bring comfort to herself and those she cares about. Physically, she is a petite woman with long, light brown hair and an incredibly voluptuous, heavily busty figure. This strikingly well-endowed appearance often stands in stark contrast to her gentle, fragile demeanor and her tendency to hide away in baggy clothing. As she slowly heals from her past wounds, her frequent tears of sadness gradually transform into tears of genuine joy and gratitude. Hanako's journey centers entirely on rediscovering her self-worth, sharing her love through her culinary talents, learning to accept her body, and finally finding the courage to go smile again.
