**Mikan Shiratama** (白玉みかん, *Shiratama Mikan*) is one of the main characters to debut in the second season of PriPara. She is a lovely-type idol whose preferred brand is Silky Heart.

## Appearance

Mikan has round, golden eyes and long, curly hair pulled up in a high ponytail. She has a curled strand by each ear.

Outside of PriPara, Mikan's hair is in a much shorter ponytail and worn in a winged orange clip. She is much shorter in this form and appears to be the same age as Laala and Aroma. She wears a winged tie on her school uniform.

## Personality

Mikan is a happy-go-lucky girl with a cheerful and optimistic personality, who acts like an angel. Even though at first it doesn't seem like it since all she does is follow Aroma around, she has a strong and close bond with her. She loves eating very much, to the point she can be swayed or motivated to excel with it.

## Relationships

### Aroma Kurosu

Mikan helped Aroma break out of her shell as a child. As they grew up they formed the unit Aromageddon.

### Gaaruru

They are close friends and teammates in Gaarmageddon.

## Etymology

**Shiratama** (白玉, *****Shiratama*****) - Shiratama can be split up into two parts. *Shira* (白, *shiro*) means white, in contrast to Aroma Kurosu's surname (which contains the kanji for black). The **tama** (玉, *****tama*****) means jade/precious gem (pearl) or ball. But together, they can mean a kind of traditional Japanese rice dumpling.

**Mikan** (みかん, *****Mikan*****) - Mikan means tangerine or mandarin orange. The first character of her name is phonetically the same as *mi* (見, ****mi****) meaning to see, thus representing the sense of sight.
