imai hotaru

Age: 10 Birthday: October 25 Height: 139 cm Weight: 30 kg Alice: Invention Alice stone color: purple Hotaru is an exceptionally intelligent and rational girl, often perceived as a geek due to her aloof demeanor. Like Natsume, she usually maintains a poker face but has a subtle sense of humor. Though she often treats Mikan unkindly, it's clear that she deeply cares for her. Hotaru has a peculiar habit of bullying those she likes. She is Mikan's best friend and the primary reason Mikan came to the academy. Their relationship may seem strange and doubtful at times, with Hotaru coming across as cold, quiet, and sarcastic. However, she also has a comical side, particularly when it comes to her love for food and her greediness. Her Alice allows her to create unique and unusual inventions. Hotaru belongs to the Technical Class and holds the rank of Triple Star. Her name, "Hotaru," means "Firefly." When Mikan couldn't save the collapsed Natsume with her fading Alice, Hotaru joined her brother and Nodacchi on a mission to find a way to save him. Before leaving, she promised Mikan that she would see her "most important person" again. They traveled back in time to just after Natsume lost consciousness. Despite warnings from Nodacchi about disrupting spacetime, Hotaru tried to save Natsume but was stopped by her brother, who healed him using his own Alice. Knowing the risks involved in changing the past, they had no choice but to wait for their "punishment." Still, Hotaru pleaded with Noda to let her say goodbye to Mikan before her memories were erased. After their emotional farewell, Hotaru returned to spacetime without explaining anything to Mikan, silently hoping Mikan wouldn't forget her. Four years later, Hotaru and her brother are still trapped in spacetime but can communicate through mushroom earphones. After regaining her memories, Mikan, Natsume, and Ruka set out on a quest to bring Hotaru back. In the epilogue, it shows that Hotaru and her brother remain in spacetime but share a happy reunion with Mikan and the others.
