## Bio

### Appearance

#### Civilian

Misora is small in stature, and petite in build. Her skin is a natural dark olive, and rather warm-toned. Naturally, her hair is wine red, but she tends to keep it bleached/dyed golden blonde. She has round violet eyes, the size of which is frequently highlighted by youthful and exaggerated makeup.

Misora is an avid fan of the *kogal* style, which is reflected in her typical school attire. Her hair is worn up in a high, neatly-wound ponytail fastened with soft pink baubles, while her fringe is left looking comparatively haphazard, held aside by a few bobby pins and a cutesy white bunny hairclip. Her dark teal blazer is worn open over a slightly oversized button up and soft pink sweater. Her skirt has been shortened considerably, and her stockings bunch up loosely below her knees.

Her usual casual outfit consists of a white knit sweater underneath a light pink pinafore, whose pocket is decorated with a large red strawberry pattern. She wears white ankle boots with a frilly lace trim, and dark pink/light pink mismatched socks, bunched up in the same manner as her school stockings.

#### Cure Form

As Cure Lofty, Misora's hair grows to approximately ankle length, twisting into two distinct, bouncy curls. Her now light blonde hair is secured into a high ponytail by a white, wing-like hair bow. Her eyes turn a medium pink colour, and she gains white pearl earrings with hanging pink wing-like charms.

Cure Lofty's outfit consists of a white blouse with a dark pink striped hem, a pink and gold diamond shaped brooch, and a large yellow ribbon. Her light pink jacket lacks a midsection, leaving her midriff exposed. Her medium pink belt hangs just below her navel, over a waistband mimicking the style of her vest. Yellow and cream coloured ruffles hang from her waistband, partially covering her dark pink shorts. Under these shorts she wears cream coloured tights, and long dark pink boots climb up to her mid thighs.

### Etymology

**Amachi** (天内, ***Amachi***?) - *Ama* (天, **Ama**?) means "heavens" or "sky" while *chi* (内, **chi**?) means "inside", "within" or "among".

**Misora** (光空, ***Misora***?) - *Mi* (光, **Mi**?) means "ray" or "light" and *sora* (空, **sora**?) means "sky".

**Cure Lofty** - Derived from the english word *aloft*, meaning "up in the air" or "overhead". Has surprisingly little to do with the actual word *lofty*.

## Relationships

### Teammates

**Shiho Harashiki** - Shiho and Misora's relationship begins as a clash of personality and ideology. Shiho, who is the more senior cure, refuses to acknowledge Misora as her partner, because, eventually by her own admittance, she is jealous of how easily Misora was able to accept her role as a cure. The fact that their personalities clash so severely is also a cause of tension-- where Misora is energetic and peppy, Shiho is serious and melancholy. When Misora becomes a cure, Shiho's self-confidence takes a massive hit. Misora does not possess the same vitriol towards Shiho, but she does not initially put much effort into trying to understand her point of view either, as she gets caught up in her justice-seeking persona as Cure Lofty. Eventually, Misora helps Shiho come to terms with the validity of her own motivations behind becoming a cure, and the two become close friends.

**Kiriha Namitama** - Misora and Kiriha get along the most naturally among all of the Alchemical cures. Both of them share an interest in fashion and athletic activities, and have a predisposition towards social situations. Despite being the same age, Misora very quickly comes to see Kiriha as an older-brother-like figure, often looking to him for advice. Misora also admires his good looks and poised disposition, and begins to doubt her own qualities as a leader because of how much better Kiriha carries himself as Cure Rainy. Kiriha is initially less gung-ho about his friendship with Misora thanks to her overwhelming energy, but after getting to know her and spending some quiet moments with her, he begins to enjoy her presence. Misora is one of the first to see Kiriha truly drop his guard, and the two eventually become very emotionally open with each other.

**Seiya Himura** - Misora and Seiya have a surprising lack of hostility towards each other, contradicting Seiya's borderline antagonistic attitudes towards Shiho and Kiriha. Unlike the other two Misora doesn't put up with Seiya's poor attitude, instead throwing playful insults back at him quicker than he can rile her up. Misora never claims to see through Seiya's played-up delinquency, but out of a desire to see the whole team get along, she chooses to keep a close eye on his good qualities to disarm him. Seiya starts off not taking Misora very seriously because she's "loud and annoying" but later realizes that she has a bit more people smarts than he gave her credit for. Seiya eventually gives up on trying to shake Misora off, and forms an odd friendship with her founded mostly on back-and-forth banter.
