Kaoruko Hanayagi

Kaoruko Hanayagi is a character in the Shōjo☆Kageki Revue Starlight franchise. She is a second-year student from the Actor Training Department at Seisho Music Academy's 99th Graduating Class. Granddaughter of the head of a traditional Japanese dance school, this Stage Girl has refined skills in traditional song and dance. Raised in privilege, she is all too reliant on Futaba Isurugi. While she is always smiling, she is more calculating than anyone else. Speaks in the elegant Kyoto dialect. Kaoruko has shoulder-length cerulean-blue hair that she generally wears loose and curled in two even sections over her shoulders with bangs that are parted to the right side with a blunt cut. She has warm gray eyes. Her Seisho uniform consists of a gray blazer with dark-gray trimming and a gray knife-pleated skirt, a white button-up shirt, a red ribbon tie, and brown loafers, which she wears with black knee-high socks. Her casual outfit consists of a black T-shirt with short sleeves with a white band on them. Over it, she wears a dark-green sleeveless top, which matches her dark-green skirt with two red bands near the bottom. Additionally, she wears a top-knot red headband, and she finishes this ensemble with black combat boots. While in the dorms, she wears an eggplant-colored dress and a short pale-yellow jacket. Kaoruko's practice outfit consists of a black leotard with grey leggings. She wear a white crop top over it. Her revue outfit comprises of a red-violet jacket with golden piping, a standing-type collar with a golden tassel at the joint, pale-yellow turnbacks with golden piping and detailing, pale-yellow cuff flaps with a golden trim, and a golden armband, aiguillettes, and epaulettes over a plain-white button-up shirt with a ruffle collar. Her belt is golden with a golden buckle identical to Futaba's. Her skirt is a very-pale-pink knife-pleated skirt with a purple-pink band near the bottom, a purple-pink ribbon at the back, and a light-blue tulle dress tail. Like all the other girls, she wears black boots with golden trim detailing and a tassel, as well as a red pelisse jacket with golden piping over her left shoulder, held to a red shoulder belt by a golden aiguillette and a golden button. Her weapon is a naginata with an amethyst-colored gem between its collar and spacer. Upon meeting people, Kaoruko tends to be shy, hiding behind Futaba when possible.[3] Once she becomes comfortable with people, she exhibits a mischievous side and enjoys teasing people when she can. When others tease her, however, she lashes out or refuses to acknowledge it. Around people who she feels understand her, she shows a more vulnerable side and opens up about parts of her that she ordinarily wouldn't. Due to her upbringing, Kaoruko is highly knowledgeable in many different aspects of traditional Japanese culture, especially traditional Japanese dance, and she is very proud of her abilities. She is also ambitious, as she desires to become the best dancer in the world. She tends to be lazy and inconsiderate, often asking Futaba to do menial labor for her or buy her things when she doesn't want to. At her worst, this results in Kaoruko letting her work ethic go. When Kaoruko does remember her goals, she can work intensely, sometimes to the point of not being able to focus on anyone or anything else.
