Ran Mitake, also known as Ran-Ran and Defiant Red Mesh, is one of the main characters from the BanG Dream! series.
== Charactah Account ==
The Lead Singer and Guitarist of Afterglow. Aloof and serious on the outside, she often struggles to express her true feelings. However, she holds a deep love for her friends and family as well as a fiery passion for her band. Her being placed in a different class from the rest of her friends in middle school, and her resulting loneliness, was what ultimately led to the creation of Afterglow. Her family runs a century-old flower arranging school, and Ran's love for her band places her into conflict with her father.
While Ran has no particular interests, she is strong-willed and hates losing, and is the type of person to treasure her childhood friends and family deeply. Despite this, she founded Afterglow as an attempt to rebel against her father, who wants her to inherit the school.
Ran has an aloof nature, which hides her loneliness from other people. Deep down, she wishes to become closer to others, but can be socially awkward and has a tendency to trip over her words. She can be easily flustered and is somewhat hot-blooded.
