Description
Kae Midorikawa is a twenty-seven-year-old resident of apartment 204 in the shared house Stella House Haruno. She works as a wedding planner, a profession at which she is highly skilled and successful. Born on May 12, with a blood type of O, Kae is the eldest member of the household and often takes on a responsible, almost maternal role among her younger housemates. Despite her professional competence and mature demeanor, she has had persistent bad luck in her romantic life, a source of quiet frustration for her as she contemplates getting older while remaining single.
Kae’s personality is defined by a contrast between her dependable, domestic side and the vulnerable individual she becomes after drinking too much. During the day, she is put-together, capable, and an excellent cook who often prepares delicious meals designed to pair perfectly with alcoholic beverages for the women of Stella House Haruno. Her favorite drink is wine, and she possesses a knowledgeable appreciation for it, even introducing her friends to drinks like a wine spritzer called a kitty, which she serves to guests at the weddings she plans. She has an excellent physical figure and takes pride in her household abilities.
However, alcohol has a potent and transformative effect on her. When Kae becomes intoxicated, her personality shifts dramatically, sometimes turning her into a melancholy pessimist but more notably into what has been described as a dangerous older sister who becomes far bolder than usual. In this state, her deep-seated loneliness and desire for affection become apparent, and she has been known to impulsively grab a nearby person to use as a cuddle partner for the night. In one notable instance, she pulled her housemate Michiru Amatsuki into her bed and held her like a stuffed animal. A key aspect of this behavior is that Kae typically has no memory of her actions the next morning, and upon being reminded of what happened, she is overcome with genuine shame and apologizes profusely, reflecting her normally reserved and proper nature.
Kae’s primary role in the story is as the anchor of Stella House Haruno, providing a sense of stability and comfort through her cooking and her relatively more advanced life experience. Her key relationships are with her three housemates: the newcomer Michiru Amatsuki, the college student Makoto Kiriyama, and Makoto's energetic older sister Nao Kiriyama. Her relationship with Michiru is particularly significant, as the younger woman was the victim of her drunken cuddling, an event that both embarrassed Kae and became a memorable, bonding incident between them. Throughout the series, Kae does not undergo a dramatic personal transformation, but her character development is subtle, focused on her learning to manage her drinking and open up about her anxieties regarding love and age, all while solidifying her place as the caring, if occasionally chaotic, heart of her found family. Her notable abilities extend beyond her professional talents as a wedding planner to her culinary skills, her knowledge of alcoholic beverages, and her seemingly paradoxical talent for being both the most put-together and the most emotionally vulnerable member of the group after a few glasses of wine. She has brown eyes and short green hair.
