== Charactah Account ==
Ichika is a second year middle school student who loves sweets. When she gets excited, she jumps around like a "rabbit." Ichika's alter ego is Cure Whip and she is based off shortcakes and rabbits.
Cheery and upbeat, Ichika loves all kind of sweets and she loves to brainstorm new ideas. She's very creative and excels at decorating and making animal sweets, but her cooking skills and schooling could use some work. 
Ichika has a way of making others smile through her pure and genuine feelings and heart she puts into everything she does, and she is usually very perky. When really excited, she hops around much like a rabbit. She can be clumsy now and then and is fairly emotional.
