## Characters

### Scarlet Letter

The name refers to Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel, the Scarlet Letter, where a woman is branded with the letter A (for adultery) after concieving a child after wedlock. For the members of Scarlet Letter, the meaning is less literal, and it just represents them being unwelcomed.

**Airi Aida** (藍田 愛莉, ***Airi Aida***?)
A girl who loves the Y2K aesthetic. She uses everything she can as escapism and has anxiety talking to new people.
**Rika Shiratori** (白鳥 梨花, ***Rika Shiratori***?)
A girl who dreams of being an idol. She thinks in black and white and can be very blunt. She pretends not to care about appearances, but she really does.
**Himari Todoroki** (轟 ひまり, ***Himari Todoroki***?)
A cheerful girl who loves to follow all the latest trends. She tries to settle every argument on her own. Owns a small business, if you can even call it that. She plans to leave Scarlet Letter if it does not benefit her.
### Kisekai

A pun on "kiseki" and "sekai".

**Kirara Kagayaki** (輝 きらら, ***Kirara Kagayaki***?)
A girl who wants to be a sparkly idol. She gave up everything for "the bit", and while she doesn't actually know much about the idol *industry* or finaces, she is willing to learn.
**Rin Otsuka** (大塚 凛, ***Rin Otsuka***?)
A girl who hides their love of punk and death metal to the world. Joining Kisekai was the key to express themself to the world. She has a special place in her heart for harsh sounds.
**Ribbon Hoshina** (星名 リボン, ***Ribbon Hoshina***?)
A girl who wants to envision her dreams. She wishes she can be less apathetic. She is fond of nostalgia, especially the 1980s. Her musical style is city pop and vaporwave.
### WISH

A name inspired by dreams.

**Marin Momomiya** (桃宮マリン, ***Marin Momomiya***?)
A girl who wants to embrace what people are scared of. She loves gyaru culture and bugs and believes cringe culture is dead. She isn't afraid to make a fool of herself, but she still wants to be a good leader.
**Aoi Nijikawa** (虹川 葵, ***Aoi Nijikawa***?)
A girl who loves things others consider childish, but she is actually quite mature. As the shortest of the twelve, she is considered to be the little sister of the group.
**Riko Hoshigumo** (星蜘莉子, ***Riko Hoshigumo***?)
A girl with an inflated ego who wants to be treated like a queen. She doesn't want to say something if there is even a slight chance it could be wrong. She likes true crime and horror.
### Ex-Blossom

The name has no true meaning, besides not being a "perfect" girl anymore.

**Sayo Asahina** (朝比奈 小夜, ***Sayo Asahina***?)
An aspiring screenwriter who wants to create heartfelt action blockbusters. She believes reboots could work if done right, but she hates massive crossovers.

**Madoka Tsuyuri** (梅雨 李円, ***Madoka Tsuyuri***?)
A girl who loves to take shortcuts. She likes tracing art (with credit), using sentence paraphrasers, and using generative AI, but her caveat is that she has to do it for free. She is not one to fall for get rich quick schemes, unlike Sayo and Kaori.
### Telepathy

Natsya (ナーシャ, *Natsya*?)
After years of looksmaxxing and video courses, Natsya has become the ultimate sigma female. She rejects society, doesn't participate in trends, and doesn't actively spread her hatred of Disney reboots because it's too mainstresm to rant about it.
