She is not really extroverted enough where she would go out of her way to make new friends, but she will talk to anyone who wishes to talk to her. However, she is often viewed by her peers as insincere or cold. She's confused as to why that is and is trying to work on that so she can make the friends her parents always wanted her to have. She often spends her time in the library, reading and studying, or in her room to take care of her dolls. Background: When Hana was born, her parents sensed that something was wrong. After a few tests at the hospital, it was discovered that Hana was born deaf much to the dismay of her parents. She was their first and only child and the fact that she was born imperfectly was heartbreaking. While they have showered her with gifts such as cute clothes and dolls and have been exceptionally good parents to her, she could still feel their disappointment but cannot do anything about it. Her parents also learned how to communicate in sign language so they could help teach her how to sign as well. For most of her childhood, she was home schooled after a failed attempt of joining a regular preschool. Eventually when she became old enough, she enrolled into Yamaku Academy to be with others like her. Her parents hope that she will make new friends and have a fulfilled life while Hana only wants to make her parents happy. Other Info: Because she was born without her hearing, she values her eyesight. She loves to look at all things beautiful and surround herself with beautiful things. To help communicate with people who do not know sign language, she carries a white board and marker to write what she wants to communicate with them and allows other to write on it as well. She owns an extensive doll collections and treasure them as if they were her own children.
