OVA
Description
Cinnamon is a Scottish Fold catgirl with periwinkle hair typically styled in a high ponytail secured by a turquoise ribbon, reaching shoulder length when loose. Her folded ears and tail match her hair color, complemented by amber eyes and a silver bell on a hot pink choker. Her primary attire includes a light blue and white magical girl-style dress, knee-length white socks with light purple frills, gloves featuring matching frills, and pink shoes. She possesses the largest bust size among the Minaduki catgirls.
Personality-wise, she presents as relaxed, constantly smiling, and easygoing, often acting as a motherly figure to other catgirls due to her considerate and astute nature. This contrasts sharply with her intensely shy kittenhood, where she hid in corners and avoided interaction until Maple forcibly helped her socialize, forging their lifelong closeness. Despite her cheerful demeanor, she occasionally exhibits low self-esteem, referring to her breasts as her only redeeming feature and resigning herself to being the "least loved." Her most defining trait is extreme sensitivity to erotic stimuli, leading to frequent public episodes of arousal triggered by mundane explanations or situations. During these episodes, she displays masochistic tendencies—such as enjoying scolding or bondage—and occasional sadistic teasing, showing no shame regardless of setting, including while working.
Her background begins with adoption into the Minaduki household. In *Vol. 0*, she mediates conflicts among catgirls, such as breaking up a fight between Azuki and Maple, though this results in her breasts being swatted—an occurrence she notes has happened before. She also experiences arousal from trivial events like being wrapped in toilet paper. *Vol. 1* details her arrival at La Soleil alongside other catgirls after Vanilla reveals its location. Tasked with teaching Chocola and Vanilla about pollination for their bell exam, her explanations inadvertently arouse her, rendering the lessons ineffective. She subsequently becomes a permanent employee at the patisserie.
*Vol. 2* depicts her as a diligent, polite waitress at La Soleil, though prone to interpreting conversations with suggestive connotations. Her most significant development occurs in *Vol. 3*, where she supports Maple's dream of becoming a singer. Driven by loyalty stemming from their shared history, she takes on Maple's workloads at La Soleil despite her own exhaustion, demonstrating self-sacrificial dedication. This arc reveals her deep-seated fear of inadequacy in helping Maple, resolved through Kashou's encouragement to communicate openly.
In the anime adaptation, she participates in daily life at La Soleil and the Minaduki home, including welcoming the stray kitten Cacao. Her nurturing role extends to caring for Cacao during storms and other events, reinforcing her maternal instincts among the catgirls.
Trivia notes her design was inspired by Sayori's real-life Scottish Fold cat, also named Cinnamon. She is one of several Minaduki catgirls whose hair color diverges from their food-based namesakes, featuring violet instead of cinnamon brown.
