## Bio

### Appearance

Komachi has turquoise eyes and short dark green hair worn in a low ponytail normally with a light pink headband. In *GoGo!*, she wore a green and mint green top along with pale green pants and dark emerald slip-on shoes. In the summer, she wears a buttoned white-pale green t-shirt featuring green linings, white leggings, and heeled dark-green flats with turquoise tips.

As **Cure Mint**, her eyes and hair become more vibrant and thickly frames her face with two long, curled tendrils. She wears a green butterfly in her hair with a red gem in the middle, and a pair of green butterfly earrings. She wears a white mini-dress with green lining and bow around the waist, pastel yellow straps circling the off-shoulder sleeves. These are trim with off-white ruffles to match the secondary skirt layer, and on the chest is a butterfly, but this one is pale yellow. She also gains emerald shorts and boots with a butterfly, and sleeves to match her dress with a azure butterfly on the hand, her Pinky Catch is worn on the wrist.

### Personality

Komachi is known for her kind, gentle, and feminine personality. She is often lost in a daydream of romance and other fantasies while searching for inspiration for her future as a novelist. She is very kind towards others and retains a calm and peaceful nature, and is also shown to be wise and polite regardless of the situation or how angry she may be. She is also very delicate and can shut-down entirely if given even the smallest critique. She seeks approval from others and enjoys showing her work to those who are interested, using her writings to reflect her true feelings when she is unable to express them openly. Komachi can also become quite creepy when telling ghost stories.
