Yoisaki Kanade (宵崎 奏) is a third-year student taking online classes. She's the composer of the underground music circle 25-ji, Nightcord de.
Kanade goes by the alias K online.
Background
Kanade was traumatized when she was in middle school, and her talent in music caused her father to spiral, overwork himself, and end up being an inpatient in the hospital with severe amnesia. Ever since that incident, she developed a savior complex, and she has been writing music to make others happy, starting the music circle 25-ji, Nightcord de.
Appearance
Kanade has blue eyes and very long, blue gray hair. Her fringe is tucked to both sides, save for a long section in the middle that almost reaches down to her nose, and her face is framed by a fairly long strand of hair on either side. Her unit outfit is a stylized school uniform, though she doesn’t attend school, and consists of a long, puffy jacket with a gradient that starts at white and fades to an ashy dark grey. Its hood is tied at the middle with a black and red ribbon. The sleeves are long enough for them to completely cover her hands in Kanade's 3D model.
Her casual outfit features a jacket of similar length, but blue, striped with white, and partially unzipped. She wears a black shirt underneath.
Kanade has stated that her hair has grown to its knee-length because she sees cutting it to be a hassle. Similarly, she considers tying it up to also be a hassle, and, as a result, trips over it fairly often when she stands up.
Kanade's expressions are slight, but noticeable. Her face generally stays at its resting state, as seen in her profile, but, though her mouth doesn’t move often, her eyes and eyebrows narrow and crease when she’s concerned or focused, widen and rise when she’s curious. Her mouth curves slightly when she smiles, and her eyes soften. Her body sways slightly as she moves from expression to expression.
Personality
Kanade appears to be very accepting and sympathetic towards her fellow circle members. She'd like to make other people happy with her music. She is also a workaholic and often forgets to sleep and eat because she feels like she has to keep making songs to save people.
