Personality
Imari is a first-year student at Minwa Academy. She is an energetic girl which causes her to become scatterbrained and easily flustered at times. She can also be very clumsy at times and can change from serious to humorous in a blink of an eyes. However, Imari is always kind to everyone she meets and can't help but show sympathy towards her enemies. She always in a happy mood and very optimistic and always looks on the brighter side of things. She is a very brave girl who never gives up on her goals, even if she falls flat on her face half of the time.

Appearance
Imari is a short, lightly-tanned girl with straight, chin-length chestnut brown hair with shorter bangs that split down the middle. The left side of her bangs are pinned with a yellow and pink crisscross hair-clip. She has pink-coloured eyes. Her summer outfit consists of a short-sleeved pink hoodie with a big lilac bow on the front along with light yellow on the inside of the hood, bubble shorts, white socks, and bright pink-and-yellow sneakers with her lases tied into a cute bow. Her winter outfit consists of a bubblegum-pink t-shirt with darker trimming and a pale pink cardigan sweater overtop, two-layered lilac miniskirt, white thigh-length stockings with watermelon-pink ribbons wraps around the top and tied into cute bows, and heather-purple Mary Jane shoes with silver heart-shaped buckles.

Enrolled in Minwa Academy
Imari's family is not a well-heeled family, yet she somehow managed to get into the elite Minwa Academy.

How she got accepted into the school has not been made clear, but it could explain Imari's goal to try and fit in with her schoolmates.
