== Charactah Account ==
Goro and Hiro's childhood friend. She is an honor student amongst the parasites and had shown the most promise after Hiro from a very early age, thus she was made leader of the group. While normally a very considerate and level-headed person, her crush on Hiro impairs her judgment, especially as regards to his possible partnership with Zero Two.
As a child, Ichigo was insecured and self-conscious about her identity, as she cried when the other children showed no emotion and she found it scary that she didn’t share these characteristics with them. It was not until she met Hiro and he gave her the name ‘Ichigo’ to cheer her up and explain the significance of having her own name that made her self-confident. Even when she was in the Garden, Ichigo was awarded a code number in the teens due to her high aptitude results, earning her recognition as an honor student and a natural-born leader. Because of her high aptitude, she was chosen as Squad 13's leader. While normally a very considerate and level-headed person, her crush on Hiro impairs her judgment, especially as regards to his possible partnership with Zero Two. She initially hated the possibility of a stranger like Zero Two becoming Hiro's partner. One of her motivations for agreeing to be Hiro's partner in the training match was because she believes she should be the one to bring out his full potential. When this did not come to be, Ichigo, while not blaming Hiro for their failure, couldn‘t hide her anger, not even when he tried to apologize.
