Bio: A Magical Girl trying to erase her older sister’s resentment towards Kamihama City. Although she often marches to the beat of her own drum, she has an innocent and likeable nature. She can be often seen playing alone in candy shops and parks, but many of her friends she would consider her best friends. She’s good at begging.

I love the contrast between the bold blue of the false indigo and the light, airy yellow of the yarrow. Side by side, they remind me that beauty often lives in contrast - and that even opposites can belong together.
