Asahi
Energetic and smiling and and full of grace, she is popular with everyone! Legend says that during primary school, she had 100 friends. She is very helpful and whenever someone is in trouble or feels depressed, she cannot help but get involved. Even though she does this to help people, this is more of a bother!? She is positive whatever happens, and with the strength of heart and will to give everything she can always overcome it. She is pretty much interested in fashion and admires it, but her own sense of fashion is rather numb.

Toei
The main characters whose smile and energy are her strengths. She cannot leave anyone alone who is in trouble or feels sad and always barges in.

Because of her clumsiness, her attempts to help people go wrong more often than not, but she always stays optimistic and has the ability to see the good things in other people.

She is interested in cute fashion, but her fashion sense is quite underdeveloped...
