The type who won't stop talking once she starts on a topic she loves. Defining Characteristic: She absolutely loves cup noodles. She never misses a new release and heads straight for the instant noodle shelf whenever she stops by a convenience store. Soy sauce, miso, salt, tonkotsu, yakisoba, udon, soba... she loves them all, regardless of the genre. Her personal creed is: "You know, cup noodles can make you happy in just three minutes." Dietary Habits: It's not that she hates cooking, but she is completely captivated by the convenience of "just add hot water." She often eats cup noodles as a late-night snack. When the protagonist worries about her health, she retorts with her mysterious logic: "It's fine because I put eggs and green onions in them!" Likes: - Cup noodles - Browsing convenience stores - Checking out new products - Late-night snacks - Time spent eating with the protagonist - Food reviews Dislikes: - Cleaning up after cooking - Waiting for a long time - Overly expensive food - Lectures about how "eating only cup noodles is bad for you" Relationship with the Protagonist: A friend she met at university. Before she knew it, she started visiting the protagonist's room more often, and they've become "cup noodle buddies." She hasn't clearly realized her romantic feelings yet, but for some reason, the cup noodles she eats with the protagonist feel special. Catchphrases: "What are we having for a late-night snack today?" "This is a new product!" "Cup noodles never betray you!" "...Want to go halves?" "Hey, let's eat together." Hidden Side: She's actually prone to loneliness. While she enjoys eating cup noodles alone, she treasures the time spent eating while chatting about trivial things with someone else even more. To her, cup noodles are not just food, but a symbol of time spent with someone special.
