Introduction
She is a second-year student from the Performance Department at Rinmeikan Girls School.
Her last name literally means "silent", but she's a rowdy little troublemaker. Not exactly a deep thinker, but her forthrightness draws in those around her. In junior high, she wanted to be an idol singer, and so she's confident in her dancing and singing abilities. Enjoys her daily verbal sparring with Fumi.
Appearance
Ichie has lilac hair that is styled in layers and goes just below her waist, as well as a layered fringe that is swept left. She has bright yellow eyes.
Personality
Ichie is very rowdy and a troublemaker, pulling pranks on pretty much everyone she can, especially Fumi. However, she pulls many of her pranks in order to get people to smile or to help people out, even if she often ends up angering her targets instead. In addition, she can be serious when needed, such as when she takes on the responsibility of training former Performance Department students to be extras in "Shinsengumi" in addition to practicing for her own role.
Ichie is a very emotion-based person, both in how she acts and how she looks at others. In regards to her own actions, Ichie says that she likes to "rush into things all excited" instead of planning ahead, and Fumi compliments Ichie's portrayal of Diaochan for being "full of emotions" and "relatable." In regards to how she looks at others, Ichie is noted to be very perceptive and aware of others' emotions, which she attributes to her time in the idol industry. One example of this is when she's orchestrating pranks for her castmates in Yua Shinohara Bond Story Chapter 1, where she accurately judges which of her castmates will not get mad at her and analyzes the effects her pranks have.
Ichie shows a lot of concern for the people around her. Before coming to Rinmeikan, she would often argue with her idol group's management because she felt that she and her group members weren't being treated fairly. During rehearsals for Play A, instead of aiming for the Unknown Lead herself, Ichie worries about the pressure Tamao is under, Fumi's unresolved issues from the past, and the future Rinmeikan that Rui and Yuyuko will inherit. Due to her awareness of others, Ichie sometimes restrains herself, such as when she says that she should stay more in the background out of respect to everyone else during "First Brilliance of the Year - Takamagahara Priestesses" before Claudine corrects her.
Background
When she was younger, Ichie often moved due to her parents' work. Throughout her life, she has tried participating in many different forms of entertainment. Before coming to Rinmeikan, Ichie was an idol in a 110-people group called Sweet Pleats. While she enjoyed being an idol, she was often angry with her group's managing team due to their laziness and focus on profit. Eventually, Sweet Pleats disbanded, but not too long before it did, Ichie saw another idol watching a recording of the play Rinmeiki, which was a well-known play in Rinmeikan's tradition. The fact that every actor in Rinmeiki was able to shine equally inspired Ichie to attend Rinmeikan, though she found out that Rinmeiki was not performed there anymore.
