Unknown

**Minako** is a first year student in High School. Some would say she's mysterious, most would say she's weird. Nobody truly understands Minako, not even herself.

## Appearance

Minako is a skinny, short, fair-skinned girl with large ears and long brownish hair. Usually she wears a sweater over her school uniform, with the design of a fan on the front. When she doesn't you'll likely see her in an outfit that looks suspiciously like pajamas; she's not the brightest apple on the tree, you know. But I'm a fan.

Her hair is all over from being blown around so much. She's so frail and messy looking, it's hard for some to believe she's actually a club leader.

## Personality

Minako is a special child. Nobody-and I mean nobody-stands a chance when it comes to being as bafflingly stupid as she is. Yet, she's very passionate about the weird things she finds interest in. Bad puns, mechanical breakthroughs, fans... She finds happiness in sharing these things with others. She doesn't think things through-she's kind of an airhead, actually-but she can lock on to at least one thing at a time.

People underestimate Minako, but she's only 70% a disappointment. She may not be smart, but if she becomes your friend, she won't abandon you. She might even be a bit clingy, unfortunately. Your reputation might not recover. Unless you break her fan. Or kill someone. But nobody would do that, so it isn't important, see?

## Backstory

Minako's family wasn't really there. Her mom and dad would go off skydiving and she'd be left at home, in front of the fan, trying to simulate the feeling of wind blowing into her face. It's quite unfortunate; not safe to leave home, but safe enough for her parents to, unfortunately. It wasn't too bad at first, but by the time she'd entered school, she was basically alone. Her mom rarely came home, and her dad never did. Just her luck, it'd seem.

She got picked on a lot. She has ears as big as Dumbo's and grades as puny as the feather that granted him flight. With big ears like hers, you'd think she'd be able to listen more, huh? So, she'd go home to tell her parents and they wouldn't be home. So instead, she'd sit in front of the fan and speak to it.

*"I had a bad day at school today, you know."*

*"Vrrrm"*

Ah, fan language. Isn't that funny?

Fans don't grow. They wear out, they break, the electricity shuts off and mum comes back to put it back on before leaving promptly again.

Minako does grow. And eventually, she came to high school. Time to make some vrrrmers, or friends. If only it were that simple. Don't you need hobbies to make friends?

Minako doesn't have many hobbies, just a bad sense of humor and an inclination towards... fans.

And so, she started the fan club. "Fan club? Of what?" you may ask, well, of fans, of course.

Minako finally had her own club. Her own group. Her own... Haha. Just kidding. Nobody's even joined yet. Just her luck, I suppose.

## Relationships

Minako doesn't really have friends yet. This may be updated as she gains them.

## Trivia

* Did you know "Minako" means "apple tree?" Unlike an apple tree, Minako doesn't really give anything or have much significance. This makes her sorta sad, so she'll just sit in front of a fan and let the whirring drown out the sad thoughts.
* Her parents suck. Though, this is probably obvious by now.
* She was locked indoors on a really hot day once. Her and Fan-kun bonded a lot that day.
* She is the leader of the Fan Club.
