Karen Hanako appears in “Annals of Mokanie” and the independent novel “On the Other Side of We Unknown” and others.

She is introverted, a bit naive but kind-hearted.

In “Annals of Mokanie”, (Sorry,STW forgot what comes next) ,

In “On the Other Side of We Unknown”, she is also the protagonist of the “The Catastrophe of Empire Collapse ”. From July 8 to 13, IC1889, on the main road of Hiromoto City in the Liemitie Empire, she was gigantism into hundred times by her own “shrinking ray”, causing the Liemitie Empire to not only spend a lot of manpower, financial resources, and material resources to take care of her, but also face a lot of criticism internationally - hence it was called the “The Catastrophe of Empire Collapse”.

But many warm and interesting snippets appeared in this incident, leaving many memorable places.

## Appearance

Because her father is one of the few Ainu minorities in the Liemitie Empire, she has some Ainu blood.

However, most Ainu people have deep green hair like a forest, while Huazi’s hair is leaf green like a lotus leaf. Her eyes are also like the Ainu, showing a stream-like green color, always shining.

She wears a small hair clip in the shape of a lotus on the upper left corner of her hair - she says it’s a lotus!

Although she likes to change clothes, unfortunately, there are not many clothes worth changing at home, so she always wears her own uniform - a forest green sailor suit style dress, occasionally with a light orange coat.

She has a large chest that Wakayuki is very envious of. She usually wears her own uniform - a forest green sailor suit style dress, occasionally with a light orange coat. Especially when she can only wear her own old uniform, she always binds her chest tightly.

## Background

Hanako’s father, Karen Kenji, was once the captain of the 87th Assault Squadron of the Imperial Liemtie Navy Marine Corps. However, during the end of the Fourth Mokanie-Liemtie War, he witnessed a “silver-haired girl” destroy the entire squadron. He survived by deserting on the battlefield and was imprisoned in a military prison, becoming addicted to alcohol and violent. Hanako’s mother, Karen Mitsuki, couldn’t stand the endless domestic violence and divorced him.

So Hanako was left to be raised by her father, who was once a military officer. Because of her father’s strict discipline, she always felt uncomfortable, so she often stayed outside to work or play with friends, rarely going home - except to sleep.

She rarely felt motherly love - because she rarely saw her own mother. But her father doesn’t like his daughter’s airheaded and naive personality. He would rather hope that his daughter would cause some trouble and highlight their Ainu people’s “good at fighting” side. Therefore, he attributed his daughter’s introversion to her mother’s inheritance, often criticizing her and her mother in front of her. This made Hanako have a bad view of her father, but she also knew that she could not do without her father’s upbringing.

Although she managed to barely get into a public school through her own efforts, some miscellaneous fees were still a major expense for her not-so-wealthy family. Therefore, Hanako went out to work part-time at an early age. Incredibly, this airheaded girl didn’t make any mistakes during her part-time work.

## Personality

Hanako appears to be an ordinary, airheaded girl. Despite often keeping herself neat and tidy, she can’t shake off her naive temperament.

Although she’s not particularly bright, she manages to complete her homework without copying from others. She often daydreams in class, to the point where she can’t even take proper notes and has to copy other people’s notes after class.

Although the Ainu people are known for their bravery and often serve as assault troops in the military of the Liemitie Empire, Hanako doesn’t seem to have inherited this trait. Some mischievous male classmates especially like to tease her, even going so far as to lift her skirt, but she rarely gets angry - probably knowing that getting angry won’t change anything. Her father thinks she is airheaded and doesn’t seem very smart, fearing that one day she won’t even know the way back home.

She’s a child who loves to daydream, always imagining what she would be like if she had money, and then inexplicably giggling - especially when her imagination gets carried away, she will start referring to herself as “atashi（あたし）”, which can be considered as having a rich imagination.

Of course, although Hanako is airheaded, she is also very self-disciplined and rarely plays with boys.

## Ability

She doesn’t have any special abilities except for daydreaming.

## Likes and Dislikes

Hanako likes to wear dark socks the most, so they don’t look dirty when they get dirty, and she doesn’t have to wash her socks every day.

She believes that she will become famous one day, so she insists on keeping a diary. That way, when she becomes famous one day, her diary will be worth money.

She likes to stay at her friends’ houses, especially at Beiyuan Ruoxi’s house, because her friends’ parents will treat her well with food and drink. She doesn’t have this kind of treatment at home.

Although she is an naive gal, it doesn’t mean that she is an M. On the contrary, she enjoys pressing small bugs under her fingertips and letting them struggle to escape - of course, she will also kindly let them go (a slightly dark attribute).

Because she always works part-time in ramen shops, she likes to eat ramen, especially tonkotsu ramen.

## Pet Phrase

“It’s so annoying! I hate it! Isn’t today Sunday?! Why do I have to go to school?!”

“Don’t lift it up, I’ll tell you directly - I always wear light green.”

“Ramen is so delicious - can I take some home?”

“Hmph, there will be times when you need my help.”

“Wow, what’s going on?! I didn’t see it, do it again!”
