### Personality

Kotomi is a shy and timid girl who has no or little confidence in her abilities and as such, often relies on her teammates when is is unable to speak on her own. However she is able to clearly speak her opinions to her teammates and is usually the one who puts a stop to Miyuki's and Sakura's arguments no matter whose side she takes.

Despite being so shy, Kotomi has been called a *devil* for her harsh traditional dance lessons, and being the one to force Miyuki to eat natto if she messes up or does something bad.

Although she knows her lineage, Kotomi isn't that interested in learning magic. She finds it distracting but is often using basic spells without really thinking about it.

## Background

Kotomi comes from a wealthy traditional family, who is well known for their traditional Japanese sweets. Due to her families wealth, she met Miyuki in a meeting between of the two families when she younger. Her first impression of Miyuki were that she was like a princess because of her elegance and manners. However, that soon proved to be wrong when she got to know Miyuki more.

She first met Sakura through Miyuki when she was ten years old and instantly became envious of Sakura because she was able to handle Miyuki's teasing without any problem.

Kotomi first found out she was a fairy not long after she met Sakura, along with Miyuki. They learned that this came from their heritages, although neither of their families knew about this. As such Sakura has them keep it a secret for their safety. Sakura also suspects that both Kotomi and Miyuki have prism voice, but she is unable to prove it since neither of them are completely at ease on stage.

## Family

While Kotomi cares a lot for her family, they struggle to appreciate her *modern* behavior do to their own, traditional roots. They were initially furious when she chose to become an Idol since they judged it as *demeaning* for a girl, eventually giving in after she stood up to them and explained that she didn't wish for their traditions to limit her personal growth as a person. Despite showing support, they still try to make her reconsider when given a chance

While her family don't mind her relationship with Miyuki, they are not happy about her relationship with Sakura because of the family image. The Midori family are not aware of Sakura's true inheritance and only judge her by her adoptive families life.

## Powers and Abilities

A fairy bonded to Sakura as one of her priestesses, much like Miyuki. She is capable of learning basic magic, and as well as flight when in fairy form.
