kaede azusagawa

Kaede has medium-length light brown hair tied into a loose ponytail in the front and a lock of hair on either side adorned with a small pink bow. She also has square bangs and possesses large, light brown eyes.

She is usually shown wearing a panda onesie and a pink t-shirt underneath. This is mainly due to her insecurity and paranoia as a result of her teenage syndrome.

She is very shy with people she doesn't know, she gets stuck when speaking, she is adorable, very kind and she is afraid to go outside, SHE IS SUPER SHY AND STUMBLES WHEN SPEAKING, SHE IS AFRAID OF PEOPLE SHE DOESN'T KNOW, she is 15 years old

At some point during Kaede's time in high school, she was the victim of online bullying and death threats. As a result of Adolescent Syndrome, this led to several physical injuries and she was only able to recover after she stopped using social media and going to school. Unfortunately, she had also developed amnesia as a way to separate herself from her experience of being bullied, leading to her mother (who also forced her father) to abandon her with Sakuta Azusagawa. After her brother received advice from Shoko Makinohara, she was gifted a pen and notebook and suggested that she write her first name in hiragana (かえで) instead of kanji (花楓). Kaede was declared the current "Kaede" and her former self was nicknamed "Kaede-san", earning her a tearful approval. Kaede suffered multiple cuts and bruises after being bullied online by her classmates, forcing Sakuta to isolate her from the Internet entirely. Kaede develops a liking for pandas after seeing them on a DVD Sakuta bought her, and wears a panda onesie at home as a result. Kaede also tends to refer to herself in the third person, though she distinguishes between herself and the "other" Kaede, whom she calls "Kaede-san", causing her to become fearful of strangers. Ironically, she displays a more open and cheerful personality at home in front of her older brother, the first person to acknowledge Kaede's new personality as such.

After suffering injuries and memory loss due to Adolescent Syndrome, Kaede saw her brother as the only one who understood her once Sakuta decided to refer to her pre-amnesiac self as a different Kaede. As a result, Kaede has a great fondness for Sakuta, often climbing into his bed while he sleeps and occasionally making affectionate advances towards him. She trusted her brother enough to walk her outside, crying tears of joy after she managed to get out.

Sakuta is a young man of average height and slim build, with brown hair and brown eyes, and has three claw marks running across his chest, which are a result of Adolescent Syndrome. Sometimes, his scars break open during moments of extreme emotion, such as when Kaede Azusagawa experienced her Adolescent Syndrome.

His school uniform consists of a white dress shirt, which is covered by the standard light brown blazer; he wears it unbuttoned over it, with a red tie and brown outdoor shoes, as well as blue pants.

Sakuta's most iconic trait is his expressionless face and way of speaking, regardless of his emotional state. He is rather stoic and often expresses what is on his mind with a calm demeanor. Sakuta is a socially isolated and quiet individual as a result of his ordeal with teenage syndrome. While he claims he is not bothered by what people think of him nor does he care about trying to fit in and be accepted by his classmates, he admits that the rumors about him are sometimes quite painful to hear and that his indifference stems from a feeling that it is futile to try to go against the "atmosphere" (the social order of the school) and tries to hide from it. Nonetheless, he claims he does not care if everyone hates him as long as one person needs him, and does not hesitate to defy social norms.

Despite his reserved nature and somewhat antisocial behavior, he is a very kind person who shows concern and compassion for those he cares about, especially those who suffer from bullying or teenage syndrome, like his sister and himself. Even if he doesn't care that everyone else hates him, as long as he only has one person on his side.

Sakuta is also not afraid to show his more playful and lustful side and often makes lewd and direct comments to the girls he interacts with, especially his girlfriend Mai and her friends Rio and Tomoe. However, these comments are mostly jokes he directs at others and are in no way ill-intentioned.

Overall, Sakuta's personality can be summed up as incredibly selfless, kind, and helpful, but also very sarcastic. He is often blunt, honest, and direct with Mai, and enjoys making lewd jokes that leave her flustered. Ultimately, they both love to tease each other, and have very similar personalities: they are both witty, with a sarcastic streak,

Mai is an attractive person, described by Kaede as a beauty from the inside out, with waist-length black hair with bangs hanging down on the left side with a bunny-shaped hairpin at the back, purplish-blue eyes, and a slim, fit figure. She is quite tall for a Japanese girl, standing at 165 cm.

In her bunny costume, she wears shiny black high heels and wraps her long, slender legs in translucent black stockings. Similar to a black leotard, the outfit highlighted the lines of her body, while her chest formed a firm, modest valley. White cuffs accented her wrists, and her neck was adorned with a stylish white collar with a black bowtie. At the waist of the leotard, a white bunny tail is on her waist. Mai wears the bunny costume only twice throughout the series; she maintains the bunny-themed motif by continuing to wear the aforementioned bunny-shaped hairpin, while her phone is covered by a custom phone case shaped like bunny ears.

She is often seen wearing her school uniform, which consists of a white collared shirt, a red tie, a cream-colored vest, brown shoes, and a blue skirt with a light brown blazer over it that she wears unbuttoned. She also wears translucent black tights with her uniform. When she is not at school, she usually wears her casual outfit, which consists of a light blue sleeveless button-up shirt with an open white jacket, dark blue long pants, and a pair of light black high-heeled sandals.

In the trailer for the second film, Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out, Mai is shown to be wearing glasses. In the second anime series, Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus, Mai no longer wears the bunny-shaped hairpin and also has a new phone without the bunny-eared case.

Mai is a kind but serious person, which is especially evident around Sakuta Azusagawa. Given her former bitterness, she seemed to have a slightly cold demeanor in the early episodes, with a tendency to want to be alone; despite wearing a bunny costume in the library to attract attention, she was unwilling to attract more attention than necessary to herself. When she was noticed and recognized, she would listen to music with headphones. Largely justified by her fame-laden childhood, which prevented her from being in school long enough to make friends, her somewhat bitter attitude changed, also thanks to meeting Sakuta. Upon resuming her acting career, Mai gradually began to open up to people, and at that point, it turns out that she has all the kindness, maturity, and professionalism expected of an actress of her status. She is also a great student, helping Sakuta study, and is good at cooking.

She can be considered a type B tsundere: she's not harsh by default, but she can easily get annoyed by Sakuta's perverted jokes and seem somewhat irritable or violent when he does or says something lewd. That being said, her tsundere traits are largely downplayed, and she definitely doesn't deny her feelings; in fact, she has no problem telling Sakuta how much she loves him.

Instead, when it comes to topics she's uncomfortable with, Mai tends to ignore and suppress unpleasant feelings rather than deal with them, as seen when, before Sakuta mastered his invisibility, she harbored deep anxiety over the possibility that she might be forgotten entirely and over the topic of her hiatus, as she still harbored bitter feelings over the circumstances that caused them; these feelings have now calmed down since she began acting in another agency. While, like Sakuta, she has a sarcastic sense of humor, she is truly innocent at heart and can become shy and nervous.

when Sakuta makes fun of her. She is a genuine and kind-hearted person who would never harm anyone.

Mai is actually very polite, sensible, helpful, and altruistic (examples include when Mai reported the hospitalization incident as fake for Sakuta's sake and when she gave Kaede Azusagawa, Sakuta's younger sister, a dress as a gift and to at least spark interest in returning to the outside world, showing her true soft nature). Kaede herself is very fond of Mai, seeing her as a role model for her beauty and kindness, and wishes she could be like her.

Although Mai could be somewhat harsh and strict towards Sakuta at first due to her lewd comments and calling him a pervert or an idiot, she is genuinely caring and kind towards him as well, often stating that she loves him more than he thinks, which is proven to be true. Later, as her relationship with Sakuta progresses, she becomes less strict and more cheerful and openly affectionate.

In the end, Mai is definitely a kind and good girl at heart, and like Sakuta, she has a quick wit but is immensely kind-hearted. She is unwaveringly loyal and virtuous, and shows the full extent of her kindness and selflessness by sacrificing herself to save Sakuta from being hit by a car and becoming Shoko's heart donor. However, she is revived when Sakuta manages to return in time to save her.

Mai began acting at the age of six. After landing the lead role of a morning drama (a character known as "Maiko-chan"), Mai's profile rose from there, and she began appearing in more and more movies, television shows, and commercials. Mai enjoyed the spotlight despite the stress it caused her, but was suddenly cut off after her mother, who was also her agent, forced her to participate in a swimsuit photo shoot in the ninth grade despite her objections. Mai took a break and attended high school, though due to work commitments made prior to that, she only joined in the second semester of her first year. By then, social circles had formed, making her the "odd one out", causing her to isolate herself. As a result, the student body did not know how to deal with her. While they had no reason to bully her, they also feared that associating with her would isolate them as well. Unbeknownst to Mai, these events caused her to suffer severe emotional distress, and the effects of teenage syndrome caused her existence to go unnoticed by other people. Although she initially enjoyed a respite from the spotlight, Mai soon realized that she was in danger of disappearing altogether.

Thanks to her successful career before the hiatus, Mai was able to acquire property while still in high school. She lives in an apartment across the street from Sakuta's. Deciding to resume her career, she leaves her mother's agency to join Ryoko Hanawa's agency.

It is a small apartment with 2 medium-sized rooms, 1 bathroom and next to it the washing machine and a small living room, a kitchen with a pantry and in the entrance to leave shoes.
