## Characters from *Arcana Heart*

### Saki Tsuzura

Heart and Saki are childhood friends who deeply care for one another. Due to her great admiration, Heart often goes to Saki whenever she is frightened or in need of help. She goes out of her way to make something very big and elaborate each Valentine's Day just for Saki. But when Saki gets frustrated with her, she can get extremely emotional and is likely to respond childishly, claim to dislike her, or start crying out of fear that she hates her. Heart often calls her *Sa-Sa*, much to her disapproval.

### Maori Kasuga

Heart's second-best friend. She shows her the same admiration and care that she does for Saki, but on a lower scale. While Saki may elicit a childish response for the way she handles Heart, Maori's motherly nature keeps her from acting this way. Heart often calls her *Mao-Mao*.

### Mei-Fang

Heart often calls her *Mei-Mei*. Outside of that, there's not much interaction between the two besides the story. However, Heart does mention her during her story mode in Nitroplus Blasterz, wondering if Ruili's Chinese martial arts are stronger than hers.

### Kamui Tokinomiya

Heart admires Kamui, who she sees as an older senpai. She is also aware that at times, Kamui may not be entirely truthful about her feelings, but she usually won't say anything. She was very excited about teaching Kamui how to bake. Heart often calls her *Kam-Kam*.

### Konoha

Heart finds Konoha very adorable and will jump to her aid to lend her a hand or speak to her. She seems to like to touch, rub, and pet Konoha and affectionately addresses her as *Kono-Kono*.

### Lieselotte Achenbach

Heart is very kind to Lieselotte, despite her attempted plan to kidnap and harm her in the past. Ever since Heart saved Lieselotte, she has had no problems going out of her way to try to make her feel better. Such examples include the time she offered to give her umbrella to Lieselotte when they were out in the middle of a pouring rainstorm, then refused to use it for herself after Lieselotte did not accept it. She often calls her *Liesy-Poo*.

Heart often calls her *Yori-Poo*. Outside of that and some interaction during the story, there's not much interaction between the two.

### Kira Daidouji

Deep down, she believes Kira really wants to have more friends and to be genuinely liked, and she does try to be patient with her.
