Ichigo Morino

A young woman who is seemingly wise beyond her apparent years, and who associates with very few friends. Her physical development was stunted due to her "standstills", in the same way that they affect Kei. Ichigo's loss of time and her sense of life cruelly having passed her by due to the illness tends to cause her to have a much more cynical and serious demeanor than is normal for someone of her seeming age. In order to prevent the triggering of "standstills", her emotional expression is very subdued.

~!At one point, she confesses to Kei, that had they met earlier and revealed their mutual affliction to each other sooner, they might have become closer.!~
