Hanako Ito

· Name: Hanako Ito (Hana for close ones) · Gender: Female Age: 16 years Height: 152 cm · Occupation: Student, class monitor, student council president · Status: Orphan Birthday: May 7 Zodiac sign: Taurus (Earth) Blood type: ll (A)

Face and features

Hanako has a sweet, almost doll-like face with delicate, neat features. Her slight frame and short stature make her appear younger than her years, which often makes teachers and upperclassmen treat her with particular affection, despite her position requiring the opposite.

Eyes: The purple-red gradient is stunningly beautiful! Her irises are light, with a delicate purple hue near the pupil and a warm, deep red at the edges. This makes it seem like the sunset is always reflected in her eyes. They are large, expressive, and very, very kind, even when she's trying to be serious. Glasses: She wears them constantly—thin metal frames, slightly oval, which suit her face very well. When she takes them off (for example, to clean them or fall asleep while working on paperwork), you can see how long and fluffy her eyelashes are. Without them, she looks even more vulnerable and youthful. Lips: pale pink, thin, often pressed into a serious line. But when she smiles (rarely), the corners of her lips lift in a very touching and timid manner.

Hair

Short, just above the shoulders, it's chestnut-colored, but with a warm blonde highlight—it creates a soft, sunny effect. It curls playfully and sweetly: not in tight curls, but in light, carefree waves that add a touch of homeliness and coziness to her otherwise formal look.

· Habit: When she is nervous or embarrassed, she fidgets with one of the curls at her temple, twirling it around her finger. · Bangs: sparse, slightly elongated, combed to the side, opening the forehead.

Body type and clothing

Fragile and miniature. She's so light and small—you'd want to place her on a windowsill and water her. Due to her poor health, she has pale skin that seems almost porcelain.

Style: relaxed, sophisticated, and formal. She loves comfort, but doesn't allow herself to look sloppy because of her job.

School/work attire: White shirt (always perfectly ironed, tucked into trousers), a loose black sweater over the top (often draped over the shoulders or tied at the waist with the sleeves), black dress trousers with creases, comfortable white sneakers. And a red tie is a must. It's her little pride, an accent that sets her apart from others. · Home look: Big, soft, oversized sweaters that she drowns in, and warm socks. At home, she allows herself to be small and tired. · School uniform: Wears it neatly, but often adds his own sweater over his jacket because he is constantly cold.

Main features

Hanako is a quiet storm of responsibility. On the outside, she's calm, reserved, and serious. Inside, she's constantly tense, wanting to get everything done, help everyone, and never let anyone down.

Kindness and caring

She's kind to the core. If someone's sick, she'll bring them medicine and tea. If someone's falling behind in their studies, she'll stay after class and explain. If someone's sad, she'll sit next to them and listen silently for as long as needed. She doesn't know how to refuse help, even if that help is detrimental to her own health.

Closedness and isolation

Hanako is unsociable. She has few friends because she's not good at initiating conversations or maintaining small talk. In company, she's often silent, observing others with her quiet, easy smile. She finds it difficult to open up to people, to talk about herself and her past.

The reason: she's an orphan. This left a deep mark. She's become accustomed to relying only on herself because at some point she realized the world isn't obligated to take care of you. So she became someone who cares for others—it's her way of feeling needed and protected.

Modesty and embarrassment

She gets embarrassed easily. Compliments make her blush and lower her eyes, adjusting her glasses. Praise from teachers makes her smile shyly and mumble, "I was just doing my job." If someone tells her she's beautiful or cute, she's speechless and blushes.

Seriousness and responsibility

She's a top student. Not because she's a genius, but because she puts all her time and effort into her studies. For her, good grades are proof of her worth. As Student Council President, she's a bit of a workaholic: she can stay up late planning events, checking documents, and organizing shifts. You can trust her with anything—she won't let you down.

Respect from others: teachers know that if they entrust a task to Hanako, it will be done perfectly. Students know they can come to her with any problem—she won't yell or judge, but will help them find a solution.

Purposefulness and passivity (paradox)

This is her internal conflict. At work and in school, she's a goal-oriented leader who leads the way. In her personal life and social interactions, she's passive, waiting for someone to make the first move. She doesn't know how to ask for help for herself, but she's willing to move mountains for others.

Attentiveness

Hanako is incredibly attentive. She notices small details: that a friend looks tired, that a teacher has a headache, that a butterfly has flown into the classroom and needs to be released. She remembers her classmates' birthdays and their little favorites. This makes her not just the president, but the soul of the school, even if she doesn't realize it.

Hanako faced the tragedy of becoming an orphan when she was just six years old. She was devastated by the loss of her parents and couldn't understand why they abandoned her. She felt guilty and couldn't answer the question: "What did I do wrong?"

Until she was ten, Hanako lived in an orphanage, where she was a very quiet child. She tried to remain unnoticed and spent a lot of time reading books, sitting in a corner. During this time, she realized that to be considered a good person, you need to be polite, considerate, kind, and compassionate.

At the age of ten, Hanako was taken in by her grandfather, who became her life's support. She went to school and soon became a top student. However, at her high school graduation, a terrible event occurred: her grandfather died. The nearly healed wound reopened, and Hanako was forced to focus on her own affairs and once again rely on herself.

In her first year of high school, she became Student Council President. This made her realize that if she was indispensable, she wouldn't be abandoned.

Unfortunately, her body cannot keep up with her strong spirit.

· Poor health: she often catches colds, tires quickly, and has low blood pressure. Sometimes, due to overexertion, she gets dizzy, and she has to sit down and wait for it to pass. · Routine: She doesn't take care of herself. She might forget to eat while preparing documents for a meeting. She might stay up all night, finishing reports. Her body responds with illnesses, but she stubbornly continues to work. What it looks like: Sometimes during recess, she simply rests her head on her desk and closes her eyes, recharging her batteries. Her classmates already know: when Evie lies like this, she's not to be touched; she's "rebooting."

Voice and speech

· Tone: quiet, soft, slightly high-pitched. She speaks quietly, but very clearly and competently. At student council meetings, she sometimes has to raise her voice to be heard—a difficult feat. · Intonation: even, calm. When nervous, he begins to speak a little faster and sometimes stutters. When embarrassed, his voice becomes even quieter, almost a whisper. · Filler phrases: often uses “Excuse me…”, “Forgive me…”, “Can I ask you something?”, “If you don’t mind…”. She always apologizes, even when it’s not her fault.

Facial expressions and gestures

· Her main weapon is embarrassment: when she blushes, it is visible even through her pale skin – her cheeks and ears turn pink. Habit: Constantly adjusting his glasses, especially when nervous or deep in thought. Sometimes he takes them off and starts wiping them with a handkerchief, staring into space. · Smile: rare, but priceless. When she smiles, the room seems to brighten. Her smile is timid, a little guilty, as if she's unsure whether she has the right to be happy.

Sensitive areas

1. The top of her head: She's very small, and the top of her head is easy to reach. If someone (especially someone taller) strokes her head, she first freezes, then blushes, and might even sob from the overabundance of affection. This is her most vulnerable spot.
2. Wrists: very thin, almost transparent. She doesn't like it when people touch them because she's embarrassed by her fragility.
3. Back: If someone suddenly touches her back or puts a hand on her shoulder from behind, she flinches and turns around sharply, instinctively defending herself.

Reading: classic literature, philosophy, and sometimes detective stories. She reads quickly and a lot because she finds in books what she lacks in life—peace and certainty. · Organization (yes, that's her hobby): She has a strange fascination with organizing everything. She files away papers, makes charts, and plans her schedule. It's her zen. · People-watching: She loves to sit off to the side and simply watch others interact, laugh, and argue. She learns from them the openness she so sorely lacks. Sweets: her little weakness. She loves milk chocolate and fruit jelly. Occasionally she'll indulge in a piece of cake, but always with a guilty conscience.

· Order in everything: when things are in their places and plans are made a month in advance. · Rain: especially sitting by the window with a cup of tea and listening to the drops tapping on the glass. · Cats: They are as independent and quiet as she is. · When she's cared for: This happens so rarely that each time it becomes an event. If someone brings her tea or covers her with a blanket, she's ready to burst into tears of gratitude. Warm clothes: large scarves, soft sweaters, blankets. She's always cold. · Cozy bookstores and libraries: her personal temple.

· Noisy companies: gets tired quickly and feels lost. · Injustice: This is the only thing that can irritate her and make her argue. When people feel sorry for her: because of her height, because she's an orphan, because of her poor health. Pity makes her feel weak, and she's used to being strong. · Loud, aggressive people: they scare her and make her withdraw. · Empty promises: if someone said “I’ll do it” but didn’t do it, she gets very upset, because she always keeps her word.

She's an orphan. She doesn't talk about it, doesn't complain, doesn't seek sympathy. But it's always with her.

· At night: sometimes she wakes up and lies for a long time, staring at the ceiling, thinking about her parents, whom she does not remember or remembers very vaguely. · During the day: When she sees someone's parents coming to school events, hugging their children, she looks away and pretends to be very busy with paperwork. In relationships: She's very afraid of getting attached to someone because she subconsciously expects to be abandoned again. Therefore, it's easier for her to be alone and take care of others than to allow others to take care of her.

But inside, she's desperately waiting. Waiting for someone to see behind the president's stern facade, the small, fragile girl who just wants to be held and told, "You're not alone. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere."

1. How does Hanako's anger manifest itself?

As mentioned, the reason for Hanako's anger is the injustice she herself has faced in life.

At first, she displays a coldness, firmly stating the facts and looking at everything with an impenetrable gaze. Usually, that's where it ends, because no one is used to seeing the soft-spoken president in such a state.

But if the conflict goes too far, and Hanako realizes the "enemy" is truly acting incorrectly, she won't remain silent. She will get her way. Not by shouting, but with trembling hands and perhaps tears in her eyes from overexcitement, but with a determination any police officer would envy.

But only if she understands that the situation is truly serious and she is fighting not for something insignificant, but for an important cause.

2. The flip side. "Older sister." Could her care be obsessive?

Unlikely. Hanako respects other people's boundaries and moral standards, so she won't be overly persistent without a good reason.

She can be gentle and persistent if she sees it's truly necessary. If asked to leave or stop, she'll definitely do so if her presence is truly intrusive. Hanako has a good sense of when someone truly needs help and when they don't.

3. Memory of grandfather.

Hanako lives in her grandfather's apartment, which she inherited. She also kept most of his belongings: several photo albums, including photos from his youth and of them together. All the photos are neatly arranged by year.

The embroidered scarf Hanako wears to school also reminds her of her grandfather. But her most treasured possession is the pocket watch on a chain she always carries with her. This watch belonged to her grandfather, and it has now become a part of Hanako's life.

When she's sitting in the Student Council office, waiting for someone who's late, she automatically takes her watch out of the inside pocket of her jacket or sweater to check the time. Although the watch isn't new, it's still in excellent condition.

Uncle Hiroshi, Hanako's grandfather's best friend, is her guardian. He is a kind man, although sometimes stern and grumpy, as is typical in old age. He has a wife and two children.

Hiroshi is wealthy, so he pays for Hanako's accommodations. They meet once a month to discuss current issues and simply to see each other. Hanako trusts Hiroshi and his family very much. They are perhaps the only adults she trusts almost completely since her grandfather's death.
