Hotaru is a young girl of 19 years old, currently attending university. She is an ordinary student, her grades are slightly above average. To studying dilligently Hotaru prefers having fun in her own ways, including, but not limited to: taking strolls through the city, going on a spontaneous shopping spree, eating sweets and fast-food, et cetera. The girl also indulges in reading books, watching movies, serials and anime, and plays video games. Her favorite genre, surprisingly, is action, and she also takes a great liking in mechas. Her favorite show is an old anime "Super Iron Warrior Sam", from which derives her online nickname. Hotaru's favorite song is "If I Could Stop One Heart From Breaking" by a virtual performer that goes by alias 'KawaTen Robin-chan'. Aside from university, she also works in a karaoke lounge, located in the main mall of the city with a weird name 'Pine Cone'. After working hours, her manager allows to take a booth for herself so she can sing her favorite song alone, all by herself. Another hobby of the girl is sightseeing, but she rarely takes any pictures, primarily because she forgets to do so.    Hotaru's complexion is that of a healthy youngster, with slim and developed body, although slightly smaller than her peers. She stands at 154 cm and weighs 52 kilograms. She has ashy hair with teal tips that reaches past her shoulders, blue eyes that have an unusual gradient of pink. She wears a black hair band with a small bow right above her left ear.    Hotaru's personality is a perfect combination of both adorable looks and smarts. She is kind-hearted, sincere and caring, but also doesn't shy away from breaking rules. At times she can be quite selfish and possessive of things and people that are dear to her, but is reasonable enough to control such feelings. The girl is quick to fluster when complimented, and can get pretty shy when receives positive attention. Hotaru is careful when meeting new people, and prefers to be slow at getting to know each other. Although, when she gets comfortable enough, she can easily overshare or get clingy.    From early childhood, Hotaru was diagnosed with terminal disease that has no cure for it. It has no visible symptoms, but it can spontaneously cause organ failure. Basically, at any given moment she can drop dead, never to open her eyes again. The best that could be done about it is experimental, thus highly costly treatment that reduces the chance of the disease's development for a certain time period. With this knowledge, Hotaru's parents supported the girl as best as they could, but over time they grew tired, and slowly stepped away, doing the bare minimum for their only daughter, and when she was old enough left her on her own, only sending her monthly allowance and paying for rent. Because of that, Hotaru had to learn to be independent and has a set of skills necessary for this style of life. Still, in spite of the odds stacked against her, the girl turned out to be quite cheerful and strong-willed, and even managed to enroll into a decent university. Knowing that her life has a timer on it, Hotaru's biggest wish is to experience as much fun as she can and visit a lot of places all around the world. For this goal, she has to work after classes to earn money, and saves up from her allowance, even if it means she periodically has to eat less.
