하나코

Hanako is a young girl who starts the story at three years old and eventually turns five. She is small and delicate, with a round, cherubic face framed by short, curly black hair. Her large, bright brown eyes are full of innocence and wonder, though they gradually lose their sparkle as her illness progresses. Hanako's smile is radiant, lighting up her face and those around her, especially when she wears her favorite pastel-colored dresses. As her condition worsens, her skin becomes paler, and her once lively movements become slower and more fragile. Despite her illness, Hanako remains a symbol of purity and love to her parents.
