## Biography

### Appearance

Kanon has pinkish-toned somewhat pale skin, and teal eyes. Her rose brown hair has blunt-cut bangs, and her side pieces are asymmetrical, the piece at the right being shorter and fluffier, while the piece at the left is longer and curlier. She has a single pastel yellow streak on top of her bangs. She wears her hair in loose, low twin-buns, held by sky blue ribbons. Her bangs are sideswept at the left, on top of which Kanon wears a sky blue eighth note hair pin. On the right side of her head, she wears a large, sky blue bow with a pastel yellow eighth note charm at the center.

### Personality

Before becoming an idol, Kanon saw every day as boring. Nothing she did interested her or gave her a spark in her heart. She was rather blunt and apathetic during this time, not speaking much even to her parents. This all changed when she discovered idols, through a video of the unit Soleil performing Diamond Happy on her phone. Idols were what set her heart ablaze, and she quickly became rather interested in them, doing extensive research as often as possible. Her eyes were constantly sparkling, and she's been rather cheerful and energetic since this moment.

Despite this, she is still somewhat shy and flustered, and not great at communicating with others as she's in an environment she's not very used to yet. She loves the sea, and will often swim or take a dive, or even just take a long bath when she needs to get her mind off of something. Despite loving cute clothes, Kanon is embarrassed at first about wearing frilly outfits on stage. She gets over this eventually, however.

Kanon has been called a talented singer by many, even before she moved, but she's rather apprehensive about singing in front of people even for some time after becoming an idol. Although somewhat introverted, she has a natural affinity for people, and is very kind-hearted and cheerful. Kanon is hugely optimistic, and overly trusting, being idealistic to a point where others can see her as naïve. She has a talent for finding the good in people, regardless of how they appear outwardly.

Idols are Kanon's biggest passion. It is said that her eyes appear to sparkle, and she seems to glow whenever she talks about them. When talking about idols, Kanon becomes extremely energetic. She's very selfless, usually always putting others first before herself, but is a very loyal friend regardless, being rather supportive of any and all of her friends. She loves helping others, and is always willing to befriend someone, even when that someone doesn't treat her well.

Despite how she appears, Kanon is actually rather smart. However, she overthinks often, and gets embarrassed rather easily. Her habit of overthinking can lead her to be somewhat clumsy.

### Etymology

* Her given name, **Kanon** is written in hiragana (かのん), thus giving it no special meaning. However, when written in kanji as 花音, her name means "flowering/blossoming sound", which could allude to the music note theming displayed in her appearance.
* **Amanogawa** (天の川) means "milky way". This refers to her aim of becoming the "milky way of the idol world" by surpassing the Sun, Hoshimiya Ichigo, the Vast Sky, Ozora Akari, and the Moon, Kanzaki Mizuki.
