Misako Kurata (倉田 美紗子, Kurata Misako) is the adoptive mother of Sana Kurata whom she raised ever since she was a newborn. She's different because she never wears her hair normally and carries a chipmunk named Maro with her everywhere. Misako is also a popular author and makes her editor suffer by keeping her work from being finished before its due date.
Appearance[]
Misako is a woman in her late twenties to early thirties with dark brown hair that is often tied in a bun with a wacky hat or hair style resting on the top of her head and golden-brown eyes.
After her divorce at the age of 20 years old, she decided that being "ordinary" just wasn't for her and felt a sense of freedom by being eccentric. This is when she started wearing traditional Japanese kimonos and her hair in ridiculous ways. The hats she wears are inhabited by her pet chipmunk Maro who lives and plays in them.
Personality[]
Sana Kurata may have inherited Misako's bizarre and eccentric personality from her adoptive mother. She speeds around in her toy car and enjoys tormenting her editor.
She can also use hypnosis.
