Personality: Hanako is an extremely reclusive and quiet girl, who seems to be afraid of other people to the point that she will panic from most social contact. This is mainly due to her appearance. As a child, she barely survived a fire that killed the rest of her family that left her horribly scarred both physically and emotionally. She is very self-conscious about her appearance, often covering her scars with her hand or a hat. If she's being stared at, she becomes extremely nervous, and will leave the area in search of a place where she can be alone or with someone she trusts.

In addition to her fear of others, she hates herself deep down, blaming herself for her parents' deaths. She's prone to panic attacks when cornered or certain things are brought up - especially her birthday, as the accident that killed her family happened on her birthday. One thing she despises the most is being treated as weak. She doesn't like to be reminded that she's broken, especially from people she's trusted. Hanako finds it very hard to trust people, due to her own psyche and the fact that others have always seemed to stare, make fun of or bully her due to her appearance. While difficult to gain her trust at first, once you manage to get close to her, she's a loyal friend.

Although Hanako shies away from contact with others, there are things she enjoys, which are the few times when she rarely smiles and opens up a little. She spends most of her time in the school library reading, and when feeling stressed will often skip class to sit in a back corner and read. She also has a slightly competitive side, shown when she plays chess or other games. She also spends time having tea on a regular basis, and sometimes even likes to try and cook, although it's suggested that her forays into the kitchen don't always go well.

Hanako is very soft spoken, and people often have a hard time hearing her. She tends to think a lot about what she's going to say, as if she's afraid she'll mess up, although she does stutter often. When she's relaxed, she doesn't stutter as much, but it increases when she's stressed, and her whole body becomes visibly rigid and she may begin to shake. By the end of Lilly's route in canon, Hanako's mellowed out slightly, and has actually improved on her social skills, having made a small number of friends on her own.

Victory Road Sample:

[...well, it seemed like she was stuck here. Hanako let out a resigned sigh as she slumped against a tree near the edge of town, closing her eyes. She'd been torn away from her friends and the few save havens she knew. From what she'd been told though, this place wasn't so bad, and she wasn't the only one who'd been in this predicament. She couldn't help but wonder exactly how she'd arrived here, or what was going on back at Yamaku.

She didn't even question the ever-present music that could be heard. If anything, it was...kind of soothing, in a way. Hanako needed to sit back and relax, take a breather. If this was just a dream, she'd surely wake up. If not, well...she'd figure it out. Starting with trying to befriend 'her' Pokémon. The Mimkyu had been keeping its distance since she'd first spotted it, both of them seemingly afraid of the other. From the few glances she'd caught of the odd creature though, it was kind of cute. Now, it was peeking out from behind another tree, watching her cautiously.]


H-hello... [...and it ducks back behind cover. Hanako could relate.]

It's okay...I d-don't want to hurt you.

[She tried to keep her words soft and comforting, but she still couldn't help the stutter. Her nerves were still pretty shot. At least she was trying.]
