## Personality

Hanami is a shy, clumsy crybaby, who often speaks before she thinks. She finds difficulty in expressing her problems with situations. She's often bullied by schoolmates and has trust issues, sometimes even doubting her best friends. However, once she opens up, she's an extremely energetic girl, who gives her everything to help others. She's extremely passionate and cares greatly about others.

Hanami is known for having bad luck, and making an embarrassment of herself often. She has low self-confidence due to this and doubts herself whenever trying anything new. She's known to put herself down a lot, initially believing she's 'crazy' and 'stupid' for starting the idol club. Due to her low self-view, she also tends to neglect her own feelings for others. She sees herself as a burden on the others, and has a habit of beating herself up for mistakes she made in the past, even if others involved have moved past it.

Despite being very intelligent - to the disbelief of many thanks to her airheaded personality - Hanami has great difficulty paying attention without zoning out or daydreaming. She's also known to be an awful procrastinator, putting things off until the last minute.
