Aihara Kanako

Aihara Kanako is a seven-year-old ghoul living with her brothers in the sixteenth ward. She attends Elementary School a couple of blocks from her home.

Appearance

Kanako has a genetic trait called OCA4 albinism, which affects her colouring. She has a paper-like complexion, and a short figure. Because she is a very active little girl, Kana is quite strong in her frame- some might even describe her as being a little stocky or compact, with powerful legs. Kana’s face is heart-shaped with narrow, catlike and shockingly pale grey eyes. These eyes are trapped by thick, cream-coloured eyelashes. Sitting above her eyes are delicate eyebrows of the same colour. Positioned over her eyes are glasses with cute light pink frames. Her lips, apparently the only spot of noticeable colour on her face, are small and pink. She has a softly-shaped nose. Usually, taking note of her ethnicity, her hair would be brown or black. Despite this, because of the afore-mentioned genetic trait, her hair is a very pale creamish-white colour. This hair is straight and smooth in texture and reaches past her shoulderblades. The bangs are of the "blunt" hairstyle, meaning that they are cut straight across her forehead. On most days, Takahiro puts up her hair in low pigtails with pink ribbons.

Kana generally refuses to wear dresses because they restrict her ability to play, but Taka still enjoys babying her and buying her cute clothes of other types (when their budget allows it). In particular, Kanako has cute bright pink, purple and baby blue tops decorated with lace or ruffles. Takahiro also likes to buy her shirts with polka dots or typical little-girl logos. With these she will frequently wear white shorts, and (sometimes) a white or black skirt. She has white sandals with little bows on the cross-sections and pink runners, and Kana is now old enough to decide for herself which pair she’ll wear on any given day. Because she's a princess and she knows it, she has a hairclip with a little plastic tiara on it that she adores. (Takahiro has to wash this clip every second or third day because she outright refuses to take it off, even when playing in the mud).
