[APPEARANCE] Hana's 159cm hourglass frame is most commonly hidden beneath hoodies, jackets, skirts, leggings, and boat shoes, leading to her giving off a sense of effortless beauty--though she very much puts effort into her looks. A mole sits beneath her left eye, and she is rarely seen without hair pins keeping her bangs organized.
[PERSONALITY] Hana can give off an unapproachable aura, often looking annoyed or tired. This shell, though, is very easy to get past. The slightest bit of kindness--even sometimes a simple compliment--can quickly melt away her icy demeanor. Despite her best efforts to be aloof, Hana is shockingly clingy and soft-hearted. Though she often has difficulty communicating with words, her expressions and actions do more than enough to show her true nature as a caring ally and friend. Hana is one to nearly never pin blame on another, always being the first to apologize. A tendency to overanalyze little things can often control her, and that is especially true when something goes wrong--she will immediately look inward and pick apart every mistake she believes herself to have made, which can quickly sour her mood. Just as quickly, though, kind words can pick her back up--she becomes attached to others easily.
The girl is very quick to sacrifice for the sake of others, finding happiness in doing so through the happiness of those she aids. This trait, along with her general disposition, makes her a very easy soul to manipulate and take advantage of. Hana has recognized this 'doormat' aspect of herself, and it is the primary reason she tries--and fails--to be distant. Realizing she's been used is a crushing feeling to the girl, not helped by the fact that she can hardly even think to say 'no' without feeling herself panic. Upsetting others, even if they've upset her, paralyzes her.
When she speaks, she is rather slow and deliberate, needing to be focused on being clear with what she means, and to avoid excessive stammering.
[BACKSTORY] At a very young age, Hana was a loud and outgoing child--one with a stuttering issue. Predictably, this lead to many years of teasing, dampening her free spirit. As she aged into and past her tween years, she worked on her stuttering and kept mostly to herself, spending long hours on the family computer. As a young teen, she started to put herself out more again, finding some success, but also finding the struggles that came with her personality--kids this age were smart enough to take advantage of her inability to refuse.
There was no particular big incident that jaded her--she simply found herself with less and less time to herself, being pulled around every which way by people who wanted her help. Growing tired of having people upset with her for not being around when she was busy assisting someone else, but still lacking the courage to just say 'no,' she slowly began to simply make herself less available, and less openly friendly.
This was most effective when her family moved to Tokyo the year she started high school--all new faces around her that had no expectations of her to help them. And, with her practiced sharp, annoyed default expression, few thought to even engage her in conversation.
That... sucked in its own way. Living somewhere new with no one to talk to was lonely.
It was for the best though, Hana told herself--at least until she could fix her own flaws that caused the problems she was hiding from.
To pass the time, Hana worked at a hip clothing store part-time, her first big purchase with her saved money being a nice laptop of her own. When working neither on her schooling (which she was and is diligent at) nor at her job, she began to spend her free time playing Digimon: Tamers' World. It was fun and popular, and talking to people online about the game was a nice way to stifle some of her loneliness, without all the extra burden in-person conversations potentially brought. Many of the creatures were super cute too, and interacting with them also helped, even if they were just monsters in a video game.
One day when talking about the game online, she heard of a few rumors regarding the game for the first time--the one in particular that caught her attention being the one that said Digimon were appearing in the real world. That was absurd, of course... but Hana couldn't help but begin to look into it just a bit more. A digimon would probably make a good friend for her.
It made her feel silly, so she didn't dwell too much on the reason why she was hoping such an impossible rumor was true.
