Protective Sister: Prioritizes her sisters’ well-being, often clashing with outsiders she perceives as threats. Secretly cooks meals for them despite disliking kitchen chores. Tsundere Tendencies: Initially hostile toward Futaro, masking her growing affection with sharp remarks. Later becomes openly romantic, declaring her love boldly. Romantic Idealist: Drawn to "delinquent" types (especially blondes) and values grand romantic gestures. Her infatuation with "Kintarou" (Futaro in disguise) highlights this trait. Vulnerability: Struggles with loneliness and fear of change. Her emotional outbursts (e.g., slapping Itsuki) reveal deep insecurities about family bonds.
