Hanako Misaki

Hanako Misaki, (華子美咲 Misaki Hanako), or referred to as Hanako (華子), is a 2nd year student in the Cooking Club and Anime Club at Love Letter High School.

## Appearance

Hanako is a teenager, nearly an adult,who has rather pale skin and gets flustered easily. She sports a light purple bow. She has green, sparkling eyes, and a warm smile. Hanako wears a grayish white collared shirt, a navy blue bow in the center of the collar of her shirt, along with a navy blue skirt with white linings at the bottom, some black stockings, and brown mary janes with heart clips.

Outside of school, however, she wears a white hoodie, some navy blue pants, and sneakers. Her hair is instead in a braided ponytail, instead of her usual braided pigtails.

## Backstory

Ever since Hanako was a little girl, she suffered from neglect from both her mother and father. She could never understand what her emotions meant. One day at school, however, she met a boy around her age. She couldn't help but develop strong feelings for him. She didn't know why she felt this way, but she didn't want to lose that feeling. Hanako was dedicated to eradicating anyone who stood in her path. She couldn't lose this boy, she needed him. She felt as though he was the key to understanding what her emotions meant, and wanted to stay by his side forever. He would be hers, no matter what.

## Personality

Hanako is a rather friendly girl at school. When she's around the boy she admires, she can feel her heart racing. She'll walk around with him, help him with his schoolwork, give him food if he didn't bring any to school, help buy his food for him.. She loved him dearly, and she wanted him to be happy.

When she's away from him, she's a sweet student. She has straight D's and C's, but tries her best to study whenever she can. If the player talks to her, she'll act a little cautious. If the player helps her, she will open up to the player more, helping the player with elimination methods to eliminate their rival. If they come off rude, or sabotage her attempts at winning her Senpai's heart, she will act cold and distant. She may even stalk the player, acting as an assassin and will eliminate the player for ruining her chances to be with her senpai.

## Relationships

Usually, she hangs around with Kai Nakamichi, or her friends, Shiori Kobashigawa or Bug-chan. She enjoys her friends company.

She isn't too close with the cooking club, only asking them if her food is perfect, or if she's added too much ingredients. She'll help them if they need help baking, stirring, etc.

## Misc

Hanako is not an official character, rather a fan character. If she was implemented into the game, she'll tell the player information if the player earns enough trust. She would just be another student, but who wants to win her senpai's heart. She will not confront the player, only unless the player messes up her attempts at successfully winning over her senpai, or if the player needed to ask her something, or wanted to help do a task for her.

She can be a dangerous threat to the player if the player murders or tries to steal her senpai. Hanako will make sure that the player does not get their senpai, because they ruined her chances of winning hers. She'll eliminate the player, and she would make sure to not get caught. She's rather good at disposing of her rivals, so the player has to be cautious. The player can avoid killing her senpai if they ask Hanako who it is. Hanako will act cautious, asking them why they want to know. The player must answer by saying that they want to know so they don't get in his way. She will calm down and tell the player that it's Kai Nakamichi. If the player responds negatively, she will eliminate the player, resulting in a game over.

If she witnesses a murder, she'll apprehend the player and restrain the player, leading to a game over. She'll tell a nearby student what happened, and ask them to inform faculty immediately.

## Tasks

**High Trust:** Hanako will provide the player with knives and other kitchen utensils that can be deadly enough to eliminate a rival. She will also prepare snacks for the player. The player can ask her what she wants in the treats she will prepare, (i.e rat poison, or any type of poison or stuff in general) but the player will need to get the poison, etc. first before Hanako can make it. The player can only do this task at 7:00 - 8:30 AM. Unless the player assists Hanako, it will take her about an hour to finish making the food that can help eliminate or distract the players rival. This is obtainable when you help Hanako win Kai's heart.

**Medium Trust:** She will provide the player with helpful information on how to eliminate their current rival. This is obtainable when the player helps her out with preparing food for Nakamichi Kai.

**Low Trust:** She'll be rather confused on why the player would want to help her, but thinking about it, the player could help her win over Nakamichi. She'll give the player a small task, just to make sure that the player could be trusted a bit. She will ask the player to ask Nakamichi what his favorite foods are. She will stalk the player to make sure that they do the task she asked them to do, making sure she doesn't get caught being seen by them. If she gets caught by the player, she will stutter a little, saying something along the lines of "I-I'm sorry.. I w..wasn't sure you would actually do this for me.." She would apologize to the player and go back to her normal routine. If the player fails, Hanako will be rather upset, and will not talk to the player for the rest of the day. If the player succeeds, she will let them know a little bit about their senpai.

**No Trust:** None, she'll thank the player for the offer, but kindly decline and ask another student.

💔**B R O K E N T R U S T 💔:** She won't interact with the player, and if the player insists on talking to her, Hanako will push the player away and speak in a monotone voice, telling them to stay away from her before she does something she'll regret. If the player tries to keep talking to her, Hanako will start to get upset. After three times, Hanako will snap and eliminate the player, resulting in a game over. She will dispose of the player, get rid of the evidence, and calm herself down. Afterward, she will continue with her normal routine.

She will only have these tasks for a week, and a task once a day for the player.
