Kanata Konoe, a third-year student at Nijigasaki High School, performs in the school idol unit QU4RTZ with violet as her signature color. She transferred from Shinonome Academy, where her younger sister Haruka still studies. Attending Nijigasaki on scholarship requires rigorous studying and part-time work at SOROR grocery store, fueling her chronic exhaustion.

Her "nemuidere" personality manifests in constant drowsiness and spontaneous naps. She carries a pillow everywhere, often dozing in others' laps—especially Emma Verde's in spin-off stories—and may remain aware while seemingly asleep. She refers to herself as "Kanata-chan" and pursues idol activities to earn praise from Haruka and others, even dreaming of napping alongside audiences during performances.

Kanata dotes intensely on Haruka, frequently engaging in sisterly activities and extending her nurturing nature to fellow idols through subtle support. Renowned as the idol club’s best cook, she prepares meals like omurice and nukazuke pickles for peers. She also serves on the school’s Health Committee.

In *Nijiyon Animation*, Kanata’s relationships take focus: one episode shows her napping beside Shizuku Osaka’s dog Ophelia at the beach with Haruka, while another highlights her devotion through a "Sister King Decisive Battle," showcasing group dynamics.

Physically, she has long, messy light-brown hair, dark violet eyes, and a slim build. Daily, she researches "cute sleeping faces" for performances while balancing work and studies. Her consistent drive to become an admirable older sister for Haruka anchors her character across media.
