Movie
Description
Sapphire Kawashima, who prefers the name Midori, attends Kitauji High School as a concert band member. Hailing from a wealthy background, she previously studied at the elite Seijou Junior High, an all-girls school, where she began playing the contrabass. She joined Kitauji's band to continue music. Her full name Sapphire (緑輝), meaning "green brilliancy," embarrasses her due to its uniqueness; she insists on being called Midori (緑), meaning "green." This name choice reflects a linguistic distinction, as sapphire typically denotes blue gemstones elsewhere. Her surname Kawashima combines "river, stream" (川) and "island" (島).
Petite with below-average height and weight, Midori is one of the band's shortest members. She has messy, wavy blond hair cut to chin length, often featuring a distinctive strand sticking up at the back. Her eyes are greenish-lime, and she has somewhat thick eyebrows. She typically wears a turquoise hair bow with light-green polka dots and the standard first-year female Kitauji uniform.
Midori possesses a positive yet timid personality. Naturally cheerful and highly valuing friendship, she often prioritizes others' needs over her own. Despite her warmth and politeness, quiet reserve stems from low self-confidence. Deeply passionate about music, she treats her double bass, affectionately named "George," with great care, persisting in practice even when her fingers hurt from the instrument's demands. Her hobbies include making sweets and collecting stuffed animals, favoring pastel and pink colors. She cooks and sews skillfully but dislikes computers due to operational difficulties. She owns a pet iguana named Macaroon and a giant Japanese salamander plush from the Kyoto Aquarium named Kaiser.
Musically, she plays both upright and electric bass in the concert band. She initially wanted to play flute before choosing contrabass. By her third year, she becomes bass section leader, mentoring juniors like Motomu Tsukinaga with firm kindness to ensure his integration. During marching band, she participates in Colour Guard due to her instrument's impractical size. Outside practice, she frequently visits prize dispensers seeking musical instrument charms, expressing disappointment when she gets Sax-kun or Horn-chan instead of her desired Tuba-kun.
Midori forms close bonds with classmates Kumiko Oumae and Hazuki Katou, met on her first Kitauji day. She openly discusses personal topics with them, such as Hazuki's crush on Shuuichi Tsukamoto. She offers emotional support, hugging Kumiko after joining the band and comforting Hazuki after Shuuichi's rejection. She admires upperclassmen like Asuka Tanaka, commenting on her prettiness and enjoying her pats. Interactions include excitement seeing Reina Kousaka in a swimsuit during a resort trip and relief learning Kumiko lacks a boyfriend. She has a younger sister named Kohaku Kawashima.
Midori's development shows growth in leadership and confidence. Evolving from a self-conscious first-year, she becomes a capable section leader by her third year, emphasizing discipline and kindness within her section. She aspires to attend design school, aligning with her creative interests. Her dedication to music and supportive nature persist throughout her band time, reflecting her core trait of prioritizing others while steadily overcoming timidity through responsibilities and friendships.
