asakawa ran

Another member of Shanghai Talent Limited, and she is also sixteen years old. Ran has a very laid-back demeanor, sometimes to the extent that she seems "out of it". She isn't quick-witted and comes across as very naive and earnest. Her sweet, considerate nature quickly wins Julia's heart. As Ran interacts more with Julia, she grows more enthusiastic and confident, striving to match her mentor's hardworking spirit. Much to everyone's bewilderment and Saeki's relief, Ran remains completely oblivious to Julia's feelings. The tables turn when Ran starts questioning if she might be in love with Julia herself, leading her to agonize over these emotions just as Julia did when she first realized her love for Ran. Ran is half foreign and her past is shrouded in mystery. Saeki often calls her an "airhead". However, when intoxicated, Ran transforms into a calm, suave, and charming individual, a stark contrast to her usual bumbling, nervous, scatter-brained self. She is unaware of Julia's nickname for her, "Ran-Ran". It is later revealed that Ran's mother is famous and strongly disapproves of her daughter seeking any spotlight.
