Personality
Bright, bold, and full of sunny energy, Mikan stands out like a sparkler on a hot summer night! From putting together cute looks her signature gyaru style, to reeling in the tastiest catch by the water's edge, she pours passion and excitement into everything she does! As the founder of the idol club, her unstoppable spirit and adventurous heart inspire everyone around her to chase their dreams with fearless joy.
Mikan is very hard working seemingly never stopping to take a break, shes extremely passionate and creative when it comes to her hobbies and the things she likes, and tends to get hyper fixated on them - sharing her joys with others around her.
