## Bio

### Personality

Initially, Misaki starts out as an initially cold girl who isn't used to being around others, and can come off as snappy, but after meeting them, she becomes less cold and starts to warm up to others. On the outside, Misaki is an outspoken and friendly person who enjoys the company of others. Generally, she's calm and collected, but she tends to overreact if the situation is bad. Despite herself not having the best luck, she wants everyone to have good luck and do their best no matter what. On the inside, she is depressed and feels that she has to live up to others' standard, and hates herself a lot. Misaki doesn't think about dating and doesn't like it when others ask her out, but if one of her friends falls in love, she's supportive. Due to clovers symbolizing luck, they are her favorite plant. As Lucky Clover, she is a bit more confident in herself and doesn't doubt herself as much.

She is unsure about what she wants to do in the future; however, in the timeskip ending, she ends up working at a cafe.

**Lucky Clover** is the Lucky form of Misaki. In order to transform, she needs her Lucky Necklace and she needs to say "Lucky Besties! Make-Up!".

### Attacks

#### Main Attacks

* **Clover Shoot:** Clover's first main attack. She taps on her Lucky Necklace three times and summons her Clover Castanets. She waves her arms around while holding them, then draws a clover with them in hand. She says the attack name and sends the clover straight to the enemy, both disintegrating and purifying. The attack isn't always expected to work.
* **Clover Shoot Barrage:** An upgraded version of Clover Shoot. It's similar to Clover Shoot, but instead of one clover, she uses both her hands to draw two clovers. Like its pre-upgraded version, the attack isn't always expected to work.

* **Clover Kick:** Clover's second sub attack.
