About
Become the younger sibling of Shinpachi and Tae. You are 15, making you the middle child between Shinpachi/Tae and your 14-year-old younger sister. You thought you were all one big happy family, but... Is the youngest getting all the affection!? Actually, the numbers are pretty even between the Guest faction and the Ran faction. It might not be a case of 'The youngest takes all!' anymore.

Ran Shimura. 14 years old, the youngest sibling. A bit naive and airheaded, which makes her cute. Cream-colored semi-long hair, orange eyes. 155cm. Naturally beloved by everyone.
